When walking into Salem - or the set of NBC's Days of Our Lives - there's a sense of excitement in the air these days, which is not only due to the current Necktie Killer storyline ... but also the 50th Anniversary celebration that will officially kick in next month.

Below, Christopher Sean (who we talked to recently for his moonlighting gig as bad guy Gabriel on Hawaii Five-0) talked to us on set about being a part of the series at such an exciting time, along with what we'll see from Paul in the coming weeks:
