Leo Howard is over the moon about his upcoming Days of our Lives debut. Howard is set to make his soap opera debut as the new Tate Black on Friday, April 5, 2024.

Taking to his Instagram stories in anticipation of his debut, he wrote, “Happy and grateful to be a part of this hard-working and talented cast and crew. Tomorrow is the grand day. Stream it on Peacock, @dayspeacock.“

Leo Howard also did an interview with TV Insider about landing his exciting new gig. He noted, “I auditioned for it and got to do a chemistry read on set. Howard continued, “then boom, all of a sudden I was thrust into the throes of our lovely little show. It’s been a good experience.”

He also told the publication, “My mother is a die-hard General Hospital fan and my grandmother was a die-hard Days of our Lives fan, so they battled it out, the two of them. My whole childhood, the characters were on the screen and I remember it vividly.”

Leo Howard said, “Tate is in a very defining point in his life; he’s not quite an adult but he’s not a kid. He has had kind of a tumultuous childhood in life with both of his parents and in and out of rehab and a lot of money around, which sometimes doesn’t cause people to do the best things. He’s had a kind of a rough go of it. He’s 17, and it’s not where you want to be at 17, all the while trying to explore being in love for the first time with Holly. So it’s fun for me to get to explore that because it’s been a little while since I’ve been that age.”
