Days Of Our Lives Comings And Goings: Joey Johnson’s Return Confirmed! But Has Prison Changed Him?

Days of Our Lives comings and goings confirm Joey Johnson (James Lastovic) is coming back to Salem! As we previously speculated, Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) being alive would mean Joey has to be released from prison. He’s been serving time for a murder that never happened, but has prison changed him? How did he manage to survive in that hard-core environment?

Days Of Our Lives Comings And Goings – Ava Vitali: Oops, She’s Not Dead After All!

DOOL spoilers reveal that we recently saw the return of a not-so-dead Ava Vitali. She is doing business for her mobster family, including making sure that Philip Kiraikis (Jay Kenneth Johnson) keeps his part of the deal. Despite laying low so she doesn’t get arrested for kidnapping and other crimes, she has an apartment. She walked through Salem to confront Philip in a public place. And let’s not forget, she actually went up to Steve Johnson’s (Stephen Nichols) door.

The only reason Joey (James Lastovic) is in prison is that he confessed to murdering Ava. (Tamara Braun)  If she isn’t dead, then he’s been serving time or a crime that never happened. In the Day of Days 2020 annual event, a sneak peek was released. It confirms that Joey is released from prison and hugs his parents.

Days Of Our Lives Comings And Goings – Joyful And Overdue Homecoming

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Joey’s homecoming is long overdue. However, it might come with some complications, as well. Joey and Tripp Dalton (Lucas Adams) are half-brothers. Tripp’s mother is Ava, the person Joey thought he killed. So, that has to bring up some issues between them. Remember, Tripp told Steve that Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) is great, but “she’s not mom.” Even after Ava comes out of hiding, Tripp could blame Joey for making him miss out on years of getting to know his mother.

Comings And Goings – Has Prison Changed Him?

Now, prison can be a pretty hard-core place and there are certain ways to survive. The way Joey went in won’t be the way he came out. We don’t think he will be evil or a killer. But he definitely will be different and prison isn’t an experience that he’ll easily forget. The question is, what kind of changes will he go through and how will it affect his family?
