A Pine Valley favorite, Duhamel's du Pres — part of a soap super-couple with Rebecca Budig's Greenlee — allegedly died in 2003. When he went off a waterfall trying to save Budig's character, his body was never recovered, leaving fans to assume he was gone for good.

Duhamel's air date has yet to be announced.
