Salemites and fans alike have historically been prone to double-takes of confusion whenever either Tony or Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis), or both, have darkened the door. While it’s been Andre who’s most recently been skulking around (in spectral form), months after his murder, it’s the long gone, and also dead but slightly more likeable Tony who’s been giving Marlena advice about her current life-or-death plight.
Rarely mourned by Salem folks, Tony went to his grave 10 years ago this month while verbally clashing with Philip Kiriakis (Jay Kenneth Johnson) over a valuable fuels project that Tony had acquired from Titan Industries, thus intensifying the Kiriakis/DiMera family feud. Falling down the stairs, Tony was impaled and was pronounced dead soon after, disappearing from Salem permanently… well, until now, that is!…
