We recently reported that Daytime star Steve Burton will reprise his role of Harris on Days of Our Lives starting March 16, 2023. However, there wasn’t any information regarding what the character’s journey would be on the soap. But recently, Steve gave a sneak peek into Harris in a chat with his friend and co-star, Wally Kurth. The fine actors first discussed Harris’ back story on Days of Our Lives based on a clip Wally shared as a blast from the past.
In the 1988 clip of Days of Our Lives, Harris (Steve Burton) was seen flirting with Eve Donovan. She played an ex-hooker on the show. Harris placed a bet with his classmates that he could make a score with Eve. Upon watching the clip, Steve gushed over how amazing his hair looked back then. “I think it’s an effect. I looked like I was 10, and I was 17,” the star pointed. However, it seems that his attempts with Eve failed so massively that Harris skipped Salem and didn’t return until Beyond Salem!
Talking about the Days of Our Lives Spinoff, Steve explained that Megan Hathaway kidnapped and brainwashed Harris. She wanted him to get her the prisms and the penguins. In the quest, he had to manipulate Hope into falling in love with him, so he could get the prism she had. But as often happens in soaps, he fell in love with her for real. They both fell in love with each other. Furthermore, Steve adds that Harris is now returning for redemption. Megan wants Hope dead, but Harris wants to protect her. Moreover, he regrets everything bad that he is done and he is returning home to fix it all.
It would be absolutely enthralling to watch what Harris does to make amends on Days of Our Lives. It surely seems like an exciting and meaty storyline, however, there is one thing about it that Steve would change if he could. And we bet you won’t be able to guess what that is! Make a wild guess right now, before reading any further. Okay.. ready? It’s his name! “Harris Michaels, Steve joked, is the “worst name in daytime history.” He feels it is not a winning name at all! But we love it anyway! Are you excited to watch Steve’s journey on Days of Our Lives? Then don’t forget to mark your calendar for March 16, 2023.
