Who plays the part of Orpheus on Days of Our Lives?

Since 1986, George DelHoyo has been bringing Days of Our Lives baddie Orpheus to life. He originally left the canvas in 1987, but returned nearly 30 years later in 2016 when the show introduced a prison break storyline. And now, in keeping with the theme, DelHoyo returns to the canvas again. And this time, he’s about to make poor EJ DiMera’s life just a bit more miserable.

George DelHoyo will return to ‘Days of Our Lives’ on March 8

Soaps.com was the first to reveal that George DelHoyo would be bringing Orpheus back to Days of Our Lives on March 8. Orpheus will be teaming up with Clyde to make the wrongly-framed EJ DiMera a little more miserable behind bars.

“Sounds like EJ could be facing some serious problems behind bars. Why? Because Orpheus and Clyde are putting their heads together in order to conspire against him!” reports the outlet.

Orpheus has been on the show for more than 40 years

Since 1986, DelHoyo has been terrorizing Salem, off and on. But there was a time when his character of Orpheus was presumed to be dead. And, as he told the Soap Opera Digest podcast, his initial “death” scene (from which he got miraculously resurrected) brought back some fun memories for him.

“I loved working with Deidre [Hall, who plays Dr. Marlena Evans-Black] in those scenes,” he told the podcast. “When John/Roman/Drake finally caught up to me after all those awful things I’d put them through…I remember I had such a great shirt. And I thought, ‘wow, we’re ruining such a great shirt.'”

He then recalled that the cast had to re-shoot the scene because he “expired” with his eyes open. “People die with their eyes open all the time, you know?” he said. “And they said, no, that’s scary and weird. And a bit macabre.”

But, as is typical in the soap opera world, nobody stays dead forever — and Orpheus is no exception. He’s back on Days of Our Lives, and this time, he’s here to terrorize EJ DiMera. But prior to that, he was involved in a terrible plot involving none other than Ciara!

He previously had a storyline involving poor Ciara Brady Weston

Fans of Days of Our Lives last saw Orpheus in late 2021, when he’d put his son, Evan, up to a case of entrapment. Evan trapped poor Ciara Brady Weston in a glass room. He was hoping he’d be able to use an entrapped Ciara to blackmail Victor, and get Orpheus out of prison.

Alas, it didn’t work. Clyde — who just might be good for something after all — didn’t take kindly to Orpheus’s kid trapping Clyde’s daughter-in-law in a glass box. And when he found out about it, Clyde stabbed Orpheus in the stomach.

Now, however, it seems like all is forgiven, and Clyde and Orpheus are working together to bring EJ DiMera down. Can EJ get away before it’s too late? We’ll just have to tune in to upcoming episodes of Days of Our Lives to find out.

Days of Our Lives spoilers show Orpheus has made sporadic appearances on Days of Our Lives but he is one of the evilest and most feared villains in daytime tv. Orpheus’ evil is only superseded by Stefano Dimera (ex-Joe Mascolo) and Andre Dimera (Thaao Penghlis). Orpheus married a woman named Rebecca and they had two children, Christian Maddox (Brock Kelly) and Zoey Burge (Alyshia N. Ochse). Roman accidentally killed Orpheus’s wife in 1979 leading to his life of crime. Orpheus resigned from the ISA and began planning his revenge against Roman.

DOOL Spoilers – Battle In Stockholm

Days of Our Lives’ John Black (Drake Hogestyn) arrived in Salem believing he was Roman. In 1986, Orpheus decided to battle Roman for his first bout of revenge. Orpheus kidnapped Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) from the ISA. To make “Roman” suffer Orpheus shot Marlena in the back with a tranquilizer so he would know how it felt to watch his wife die in front of him.

Later, back in Salem, Orpheus blew up Roman’s house with Marlena instead and made it look like she was dead. Orpheus had, in fact, kidnapped Marlena and made her play mother to his children in exchange for his promise not to hurt Roman or her children. Orpheus has always been cold and calculating. Orpheus’ plans played out in great detail without mistake because he loves to play mind games with his opponents. Orpheus allowed “Roman” to find him on the island only to fake Marlena’s death again in a plane crash right in front of his eyes.

Days of Our Lives Orpheus – Orpheus Is A Genius

Days of Our Lives Orpheus is a genius who has gotten himself out of trouble and escaped time and again. Orpheus continues to play mind games with his opponents and has gotten away with many crimes through his ISA connections. Orpheus’ only weakness seems to be his love for his children and his family. However, Orpheus tries to manipulate his son causing him to pull away from his father. Orpheus talks down to this son and expects him to be a more formidable opponent. Orpheus feels that Christian is too soft and is not man enough to be called his son. When Christian was last seen he vowed to have nothing to do with his father. Orpheus tends to demand that his children support him no matter what.

Orpheus still blames John for Roman’s crimes and goes after him and Marlena every chance he gets. Will Orpheus ever stop terrorizing the Blacks?
