Michael says, “The last time they wanted me back, I wasn’t available and that really depressed me. This time, I first got the call a few months ago and had been in Ireland shooting a movie, but that’s wrapped, so the timing was perfect and I’m really grateful that it could work out.”

Michael also said that his first day back on the set of the hit CBS soap felt like a class reunion. He said, “There was a lot of love flowing around that day. The crew and cast are people I’ve known for years, but it was like time stood still in a weird way. It took very little for me to just jump right back in and be back to where it was. It was really wonderful and emotional for me. Of course, I’m very grateful to the fans because really, it’s all about them. They’ve been so amazing and so supportive.” Damian, whose last appearance was in 2013, enjoyed seeing new sets and faces. “The Glam Club and Society are beautiful!” he marvels. “And I met Cait Fairbanks [Tessa], so our characters can talk about their music, and I met Camryn [Grimes, Mariah] again. I haven’t seen her since she was a little girl [when she played Cassie] and she’s all grown up and gorgeous!”
