Latest News About Patrick Muldoon Days Of Our Lives

Here’s the latest I can share based on recent public reporting.

• Patrick Muldoon (Austin Reed) was the subject of mixed reporting in mid-2025 about a possible return to Days of Our Lives, with some outlets indicating a comeback and others clarifying there was no onscreen return and he was just visiting the set or continuity didn't bring him back. These stories circulated around DOOL’s social posts and later statements from show representatives.[3][5]
• By early 2026, reports and outlets about Muldoon’s DOOL status remained inconclusive in some places, but IMDb and other entertainment trackers continued to note that there was no confirmed return to the on-screen role as of January 2026. A 2025 parade-style recap suggested a return was possible, but subsequent clarifications indicated no onscreen comeback at that time.[5][10][3]
• Separately, a few outlets emphasized Muldoon’s long history with the show and his popular status from the 1990s, with coverage focusing on nostalgia and potential future appearances rather than active storylines in Salem.[6][5]
