EXCLUSIVE: Emmy Winner Jordi Vilasuso Joins 'Days of our Lives'

Jordi Vilasuso recently starred in Hulu series South Beach.

It's an exciting time to be watching Days of our Lives. Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Bo (Peter Reckell) are returning, a murderer is on the loose, and Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) is shirtless more than ever! That isn't all though. I can now reveal the actor mentioned in my recent blind item was Emmy winner Jordi Vilasuso. And some of you guessed it!

Who will Vilasuso be playing on Days, and what is his character's connection to Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering)? We will find out soon!

Vilasuso won a Daytime Emmy Award in 2003 for his work as Tony Santos on CBS soap opera Guiding Light. Among his many post-GL credits were MyNetworkTV's primetime serial Fashion House (as Eddie Zarouvian) and the ABC daytime drama All My Children (as Dr. Griffin Castillo). He recently starred as Isaac Santero in the Hulu series South Beach.
