James Scott portrays EJ Wells on Days of Our Lives. How does he feel about this character? That's what our friends at BuddyTV asked the actor:

You've gotten to play a lot of different types of characters within the character of EJ Wells – a good guy, a very bad guy – and what do you like playing more?
I prefer to play a bad guy. It's a lot more interesting. You can have a lot more fun, I think. Good guys, their role is pretty clean cut. They turn up, they say the right thing and, generally speaking, they end up running in circles looking like idiots, for the most part. Bad guys always tend to be smarter than that.

Where do you get the inspiration to be a bad guy?
I am not a very nice person, myself, which I find helps a lot. [laughs] I don't know. I don't know where I get the inspiration from. I've kind of been able to play with a lot of different characters, and I find that it doesn't come too hard to be able to do that. I think everybody has sides of them that are dark, and if you have experience as an actor and able to tap into those things, then it's not too hard to bring them to the surface.

Penny has starred in shows such as Riptide, Jake and the Fatman. The veteran actor has also made memorable guest starring appearances in a long list of TV shows including, CSI and The Sopranos.

All we know about Martino is that he conducts shady business, keeps a tight grip on his daughter and doesn't much like Steve. That's enough to get us intrigued!

Here's what viewers can look forward to on Days of Our Lives next week...

• Philip wines and dines Nicole. But what is his motive?

• EJ and Sami discuss Lucas (Bryan Dattilo, pictured).

• Steve and Hope (Kristian Alfonso) are recaptured.

• John wants Marlena to hypnotize him.

On the next few episodes of Days of Our Lives, here's what viewers can expect...

• Morgan flirts with Nick (Blake Berris, pictured).

• Sami and EJ lie to immigration officials in order for EJ to maintain his American residence.

• Ava kidnaps Hope.

• Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin) tries to get a job with an opera company in Salem.

• John surprised Marlena (Deidre Hall, pictured) with a romantic evening.

It look like Sami and Chloe's worst nightmare is set to begin April 2!

On that date, Nicole Walker Roberts Kiriakis (Arianne Zuker) explodes back onto the Salem scene on Days of Our Lives. Online rumors state the diva, who once battled Sami for Austin and Chloe for Brady, arrives at the mansion owned by ex-sugar daddy hubby Victor like she still owns the place.

As seen here, Nicole will be armed with a Chihuahua named Pookie. Now that sounds interesting! Welcome home, Arianne.

Ron Leath will be coming back to Salem into the role of Henderson, Victor Kiriakis' butler. Look for Leath to appear on April 2. This actor joined the cast of Days of Our Lives way back in 1986.

The character of Henderson has been extremely loyal to Victor over the years, keeping his job as butler, especially during the time when fire took hold of the Kiriakis mansion years ago.
