When last we saw Daniel Hugh Kelly's creepy Colonel Mayer on As the World Turns, he was about to be hauled off to prison for murdering Cheri Love. Tough break on that one.

Nearly seven months later, the Colonel is coming back. Beginning on Tuesday, May 6, the actor returns to Oakdale as Noah's father.
