Midweek, Days of our Lives viewers were overcome with emotion when witnessing the return of Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews).

After many years away from home, along with the end of his long-term relationship with Claire, Theo returned to Salem in a heavy mood.

The reunion scene was full of tears: Abe (James Reynolds) hugged his son, Paulina (Jackée Harry) was moved to see Theo return.

But after the joy of reunion came a series of questions.

Why did he leave? Was the broken relationship with Claire really the only reason?

Viewers began to speculate that Theo had been caught up in a secret while living away from home. Small conversations with Abe and Paulina revealed some of the pressure he had to endure. The image of Theo sitting quietly looking out the window, his eyes heavy, made viewers both sympathetic and curious.

This return not only has a meaning of family, but also can start a new cycle in Salem. Will Theo find peace again, or continue to be caught up in the tragedies that have never left this village?
