Beginning on December 19, Dan Gauthier<\/a> will be playing the actor, per Michael Fairman TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dan is best known as Kevin Buchanan on One Life to Live, and appeared in Ellen, Teen Witch and Tour of Duty. He is married to Teen Witch co-star and The Monster Squad actress Lisa Fuller.<\/p>\n

Peter Blake arrived in Salem in 1993 to protect sister Kristen, becoming involved in Stefano\u2019s schemes and falling for Jennifer Horton. <\/p>\n

His involvement in drug operations sparked a rivalry with Jack Deveraux, and he spent years covering up crimes and manipulating others. His storyline included arson investigations, a faked death, kidnappings and a fake funeral. He was finally arrested and sent to a prison, from which he disappeared.<\/p>\n

While he was mentioned in 2019 when Abe revealed that Peter vanished after being released from prison, he would not surface on our screens until now. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
