Or is he?
I mean, let's face it. He's been "gone" in some capacity or another before -- a LOT of times. According to wikipedia, he did so in '83, '84, '85, '91, '94 (twice), '96 (twice), '02, '04, '07, '12 and again earlier this year in '16. How else would you get the nickname of the Phoenix? (I didn't personally see all of those, since I picked up Days full time the summer before college in '89 and stopped watching for the last time back in '12.)
Now that I've seen the obituary in the New York Times, it *sounds* a little more official, but I guess only time will tell if he's really really gone.
All (attempts at) kidding aside, thoughts and prayers to the family of Joseph Mascolo, who passed away in real life earlier this month. You who brought a classic character to life on the best daytime drama ever made, partly by creating your own accent that will be forever remembered for its uniqueness, you will most definitely be missed.
