Yes, Dr. Daniel Jonas can take a punch.

But the fans like to see this Days of Our Lives character all tied up.

That's what Shawn Christian told TV Fanatic last week on the soap opera's set because his current storyline had him tied and gagged at the hands of returning psycho Kristen DiMera.

And what is transpiring now, the actor said, is comparable to the kind of action in the Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie action film Mr & Mrs Smith. 

However, if you saw Friday's Days of Our Lives episode, you know that Daniel isn't done fighting his captor, as Christian teased a "unexpected twist" that even the characters themselves won't see coming, as well as whether Dannifer fans should keep hope alive that Daniel and Jennifer Horton will get back together.

See what else the star said about Daniel's current "odyssey" and keep checking back this week for more on-set interviews with the cast.
