DAYS' Thaao Penghlis signs contract extension as Andre DiMera

Days of our Lives' Thaao Penghlis (Andre DiMera) says he and his nefarious alter ego are staying put in Salem for the foreseeable future.

Call your mother, call your "faahhther," call pretty much everyone, because Thaao Penghlis has officially signed on for two more years as Days of our Lives' love-to-hate-him villain Andre DiMera.

"My friends I have signed on DOOL for another 2 years," he announced via Twitter. "Thank u 4 being part of this wonderful & continuing experience I call home."

As fans may recall, the actor teased last month that Andre's future has many twists and turns ahead, including more fun with Lauren Koslow's Kate and a "heartfelt" connection with Billy Flynn's Chad.

Penghlis originally joined DAYS back in 1981 and has played both the character and Andre's brother, Tony, on-again, off-again since then.
