‘Days Of Our Lives’ Is Peter Blake Really Dead?

Jason Brooks left Days of Our Lives back in 1998. However, his character Peter Blake still haunts the soap. Some fans believe they still haven’t heard the last of the character, in spite of both time and the character’s own passing.
Jason Brooks Joined Days Of Our Lives In 1993
Brooks is arguably best known for playing Peter Blake on Days of Our Lives from 1993 to 1998. In addition, he is also known for his roles on Baywatch Hawaii, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and Charmed.
On Days of Our Lives, Peter is the brother of Kristen DiMera, who were both raised by Stefano DiMera. Peter served as the DiMera family attorney and was known for his relationship, and marriage, with Jennifer Horton.

The character initially appeared to die in 1996 after being shot. However, Brooks returned to the soap the following year until he departed once again in 1998. Despite this the character’s fate has often been up in the air.
As noted by Coming Soon, Peter’s death was a topic of discussion on the soap as recently as 2019. At the time, James Reynolds’ Abe Carver said that Blake had died after finishing his time in prison.
As the publication noted, Blake was arrested following a failed kidnapping attempt against Jennifer. However, Stefano was able to pull some strings to give Peter a shortened sentence. At the time, Stefano saw this as a lesser evil to breaking Peter out of jail.
Despite this, Peter didn’t make another appearance on the soap since his 1998 departure. However, he still managed to have a lingering influence on the characters in the soap.
The Character Was Brought Up Back In 2019
In 2019, however, Blake’s fate was eventually confirmed. According to Abe. Peter disappeared after his prison release.
Though he avoided Salem, he still managed to show his influence, being able to send his vote to determine the DiMera CEO. At the time, he showed his loyalty to Kristen, allowing his vote to align with hers.

As for the character’s fate, Coming Soon noted, “Abe Carver revealed in a 2019 episode that the evil businessman had met his end.” However, it was also noted that the character’s fate was shrouded in mystery.
In the end, characters don’t necessarily stay dead on soaps. There could always be some way for the character to come back. Notably, the character would be a good choice to bring back if the soap plans on having a storyline revolving around Jennifer Horton.
