Latest News About Jensen Ackles Days Of Our Lives

Here’s what’s current about Jensen Ackles and Days of Our Lives (DOOL).

• Summary: Jensen Ackles played Eric Brady on Days of Our Lives from 1997 to 2000. Since then, he rose to prominence in Supernatural and more recently in The Boys and other projects. There’s no widely reported return to DOOL as of mid-2026. This means DOOL fan interest around a DOOL comeback for Ackles remains speculative rather than confirmed news.[2][4][8]

Key points in recent coverage

• Ackles’ DOOL role and departure: He originated the Eric Brady character as a teenager and left the show in 2000 to pursue primetime opportunities, with later public interest in a possible return that did not materialize at that time.[4]
• Do any DOOL-related returns appear? Some entertainment outlets revisit whether he might return, but substantial, verifiable DOOL appearances by Ackles since 2000 have not been reported as of 2026. Most current headlines focus on his primetime roles and new projects rather than a DOOL comeback.[5][7]
• Recent projects involving Ackles: He has been associated with new series and projects (for example, entries about Countdown and other Prime Video projects). These pieces emphasize his broader career post-DOOL rather than a DOOL reunion.[6][9]
