Days Of Our Lives
45th Annual Daytime Emmy Winners: Days of our Lives Takes Drama Series, Davidson & Reynolds Top Acting Honors!
On Sunday night, the men and women of daytime television gathered together to celebrate their accomplishments and to celebrate one another at the 45th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards handed out by NATAS (National Academy of Television Arts and Science) at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California.
And the envelope please … it was a big night for Days of our Lives! The NBC daytime drama series took home the gold for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series for Ron Carlivati and his team, and Outstanding Direction in a Drama Series. In addition, James Reynolds walked away with the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series award for his heartbreaking performance as Abe Carver. Most of DAYS submissions in the major categories centered around the episode where JJ (Casey Moss) contemplates suicide, and the Christmas Eve episode where Theo finally comes out of his coma, as well as the double-wedding episodes were Ben busts through the door for shocking news for Sonny and Paul, and Chad and Abigail.
In addition soap vet, Greg Vaughan won the Emmy for his work on DAYS in the Outstanding Supporting Actor category.
Y&R took home two major acting honors. First, Eileen Davidson bested the other 4 strong women in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Ashley Abbott. The Lead Actress category was the toughest acting category of the night for many to call. Davidson had now one two Lead Actress trophies, having won previously for her role as Kristen DiMera on DAYS. Camryn Grimes also added to her trophy collection winning for her role as Mariah Copeland in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category. She previously won an Emmy in 2001, and was the youngest ever to receive an honor for her role as Cassie Newman.
In the Younger Acting categories; General Hospital’s Chloe Lanier received the Outstanding Younger Actress prize, while former B&B star, Rome Flynn (Ex-Zende) took home the Outstanding Younger Actor gold. GH’s Vernee Watson (Stella) was named the Outstanding Guest Performer in a Drama Series, and The Bay added to their collection with another win for the Outstanding Digital Drama Series.
Daytime’s beloved Bill and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Doug and Julie Williams) of Days of our Lives were honored with the Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Denzel Washington in a recent interview says men give awards, God gives rewards for what we do. All of us — audiences too — are blessed we have daytime drama yet, even though it is not the deep genre it once was. I pray that will change. Anyway… It seems the Academy made the right choices for trophies. No head-scratchers here. The nominees were strong in every category.
I found the show to be too long and heavily scripted. I miss the network broadcasts and hope the Academy again can make a case for those broadcasts again. For audiences, the daytime awards are so fragmented and there are so many, and the daytime drama categories may not have the luster they once did.
Still… I was watching and sharing my spirit. I love the genre. Long live daytime!
Very happy that Eileen Davidson won-love her! (So happy that she smartened up and left “Real Housewives”). James Reynolds-a well-deserved win, as well! Disappointed that Marla Adams didn’t win. Ms. Adams was a powerhouse this year. I don’t really care for Camryn Grimes or her character, but congratulations to her. As always, Eileen looked beautiful. Camryn looked fabulous in red. & I loved the black on black on Mr. Reynolds-very classy!
I thought that Ms. Adams should have won, also.
Yes, Boop…..she’s wonderful. Love Ms Marla…..too bad we, the fans, don’t do the choosing….
So happy for Days. Totally deserved.
I’m really surprised Rome won. I watch B&B and have never thought he is a good actor. I thought Casey would win.
Congrats to Eileen and Camryn. I also wanted Marla to win as she has been killing it, but Camryn did some great acting so can’t be mad there.
Congratulations to all the winners and nominees.
What material did Rome have to even support his nomination? Casey Moss has shown such growth in his acting skills and definitely deserved to win the gold! I’m happy that Days is being recognized and rewarded. Although, I don’t watch much (The NuAbigail Hour) I have fond memories from the ’90’s-when I used to watch. I’ll always tune-in when Eileen Davidson visits!
I do not watch B&B, dmr….but, if you say Casey deserved the award, then I trust your judgment.
I am not into Gabbygail one bit….especially the latest turn of events where she and Stefan escaped the ‘fire’….getting away with his crimes….she’s forgiven…..not herself.
Abigail better come out soon…sick of the alters already….especially when en league with Stefan…ugh.
It was shocking enough that no actress from GH was nominated in the Supporting Actress category or that Maurice Benard was left out of the Lead Actor category with strong material for Sonny following Morgan’s death , but I was stunned that Nancy, Laura, and Maura all lost the Lead Actress category. They all had a stellar year, but maybe they all just cancelled each other out. I’m glad DAYS won best soap, if not GH. They’ve got Ron Carlivati now, who is not afraid to write strong stories for the vets, like he did for a time at GH.
I have to say, I am sick to death of hearing about The Moron (Morgan). His name is mentioned more than the living characters on the show. Not sure what Laura Wright did this year; however, I thought for sure that Maura West was going to win-always stellar. Nancy Lee Grahn submitted a great reel, as well. I love Eileen Davidson, though…
No to Maura; enough is enough!
Fans didnt even like Moron when he was alive!
Not shocked.
Casey Moss was robbed.
i totally agree
agree
I agree the blue ribbon panel has to come back.Unpaid volunteers who are a part of the industry should choose the winner.Michael fairman,jamie giddens,michael logan,carolyn hinsey,stephanie sloane,dan kroll and the staff of soap opera digest should choose the nominees and winners.Every year for 44 years people are ignored.Did anyone notice that brian datillo did not attend the show.
AGREED!
Totally agree, Robert. Even the audience seemed surprised. Not to mention Flynn himself, who apparently needs to have a script to speak coherently.
I definitely agree with you Robert. Casey Moss is a fine actor who always delivers. His performances during the Theo shooting story were outstanding.
Yes, Casey Moss losing Best Younger Actor was the biggest upset of the Emmys.
The show was magnificent.However,where was freddie smith and chirstopher sean.Days is taped 5 months in advance,I geuss in five months the 2 of them are off the show.Thaoo penghilis was their and that means carvalatti is bringing tony back to life.Chandler is not in this picture,but he was in the audience.This show was so good because there was no music playing to make winners get off the stage.David and michael did a spectacular job.
No complaints here. I thought the show was very well done and happy for all the nominees and winners. Great fashions-and seems like all had a marvelous evening. Shout out to Michael Fairman- Loved the GH55 segment you produced. Excellent job, Michael. Also saw your pics from the red carpet and inside-lookin’ good!
@Phyllis….Greetings “my fair lady!” Even though I didn’t watch the show, I did happen upon an online sartorial slideshow of fashion favorites and magnificent material mishaps…probably about 60 in total?? All I can say is that more than a few frocks truly took my breath away due to their utterly appalling artistic abberations that were so heinously OTT I more than once thought that these atrocious examples of apparel couldn’t even possibly rate as charity cast-offs from John Waters’ “’DragQueensRUs Classic Collection”…..Yep, THAT bad! (And no, I shall not be naming names….) However, whilst there remained some quite lovely conventional choices, if I am to be completely honest, there was only one show-stopping selection that totally rose head and shoulders above the rest of the too-often couturially-challenged crowd…..it was an enchantingingly elegant, sleek and all-together tasteful number, and the fact that it was the darkest noir in shade also upped the sophistication level. Sooo….who was the recipient of Shay’s “Best Dressed” honors for Emmys#45, you are no doubt asking???? Well, well, “Milady,”sit down and have a nice stiff drink before I make my announcement, because you will no doubt think your eyes are deceiving you as you read my verdict: Drumroll please…..And the winner is…..NLG!!!!! Yes, you read that correctly, Phyllis….now promptly pick up your jaw from the floor! (You, too, CeeCeeGirl! Lol…) In all candor, I was absolutely awestruck by this woman’s uncharacteristically chaste turtlenecked, sleeveless, form-fitting black gown…she looked as though she had been poured into it and the effect was beyond flattering…it was simply spectacular! I know, I know….but you needn’t check—-h#!! has not frozen over, even though I admit I was shocked silly by this supreme style triumph from such a surprising source, considering my less than previously stellar views on the specific subject of NLG’s Alexis Davis and her lack of suitably proper attire!!!! Hence allow me to extend my sincerest of congratulations to Nancy, as the no doubt gobsmacked recipient of this most unexpected distinction! Furthermore, may I humbly suggest that the actress offers her smashing number on borrow to her alter ego, Alexis, for the upcoming NB? Seems such a shame to waste this fantastic frock on just one night,, so go on, NLG, be generous with your onscreen self and show all of Port Charles that she is entirely capable of making a fashion splash in a most uncustomarily modest mode! (And, should you refuse my request, then please pass on this stunning creation to the Divine Devane herself…since if truth be told, it actually has “Anna” written all over it as exactly the sort of style she herself would select….and that is perhaps the highest compliment one could offer any garment good enough for the luxurious likes of this modern-day Mata Hari!)
Oh, Shay, amore……Anna ( my apologies to Finola, whom I love; it is what it is) would not do that frock justice. One must have the body—-a generous, yet not overwhelming, bosom; shapely, feminine hips, in order to stun and/or raise the dead!!!!
Finola, as pretty as she is, has a boyish body…..thus, she needs to choose her habillement with extra care. In contrast, Nancy has it all….I can only hope to maintain mine, as she has. She, as Michelle Stafford, looks good in anything.
Very admirable of you to regale such a compliment to one of your not-so-favorable-character.
I have always liked and appreciated Nancy, both in looks and in acting. Now, I, also, like the character….but, with the same litany, Shay….sans Julian ( I love William as well). I don’t know what turned me off when those two went at it….I blame the writers for scripting such scenes as doing it in the living room, with the front door right there…..with adult kids, a grandson, walking in at any time.
Sometimes, no matter how hard some women work on their wardrobe, make-up….no matter how beautiful they may be; some women lack flair and savoir-faire—-comportment and sex-appeal are an innate gift….natural flirting without being crass is a gift…. can’t fake it….Nancy, Michelle and Maura ( among only a few) have it….
Arrivederci, cara…
@Phyllis……Hey there, lovely lady! Where have you been? Still aimlessly wandering the prairie, searching for that elusive “Delores Claiborne” DVD or did you fire up the Pontiac to hightail it down to the Kentucky Derby’s weekend of grand festivities? (I can totally picture you donning their customary millinery creations with the greatest of aplomb!) Regardless, I simply wished to check in, say hello and remark that although I applaud the down-to-earth, viewer-friendly Lidia Bastianich’s Emmy win for “Outstanding Culinary Host,” you remain my sentimental favorite as “cookshow hostess with the mostess” for your sassy, saucy presentation of “La Cucina Italiana,” so don’t give up your cuisine-oriented aspirations, okay, “Phyllisima Bellisima?” Who knows? It could be you on that Emmy red carpet come come next year! Best of luck, darling!
I don’t think she is coming back, Shay. Hope she does, but seeing how she has been treated here- she deserves better. Swore I would never jump in here again after the last wars-and being called a liar for calling out behavior from the defender of fictional characters. Thanks for having my back during a couple of those battles. I still get majorly irritated thinking about all that.
I wanted to reply to Phyllis, and wish I would have. She was funny as hell and just wanted to have some conversation and humor and human contact.
Instead, she gets outed and questioned about her gender identity-what a crock-there are no restrooms in Fairman City or whatever this is for anyone to be freaking about her using them. We don’t truly know who is whom on here and found that especially insulting to her-and when she was relating painful experience and wishing Fairman well in his personal grief.
She wanted to get along with everyone-and even apologized to the one who never apologizes-and received no apology, of course.
Her “little stories” or movie plots or whtever made me laugh out loud-hard to find that on here-great when you do.
Then, because this is like some mean girls party, I see that her replys and posts were ignored-entirely-like she had the plague or something. She had nothing but kind words for everyone and in return she is snubbed and ignored-real classy ladies-
You were a friend to her on here-consistently and when she needed one. Wish I had been, but my own hesitation at taking another swim in the swamp prevented me. Shame on you haters and others who just totally turned your backs on someone who deserved to be treated like a human being. Thanks, Shay.
I was waiting to see if you would reach out to Phyllis-notice how everyone else has all of a sudden shunned her, don’t respond to her posts. I doubt she will return. Don’t blame her at all. She shares some personal info with Fairman and tries to offer comfort during his personal grief-and gets outed and questioned about her gender identity-classy! Who knows-really-who is whom on here-and there are no restrooms in Fairman City or whatever this is for people to freak out about her going into. She seemed lonely, and I did not see her do anything offensive-she even apologized to the defender of fictional characters-and then is snubbed by her as well? I am still not over being called a liar during major battles -and appreciate that you stood up for me-I have sworn not to post here and been good about it. Wish I would have responded to Phyllis-she and her movies or stories had be bust out loud laughing-and she did not have a bad word to say about anyone that I can remember. I don’t get why all she was conversing with suddenly snubbed her-but nothing here should surprise me after all these years. Hope she is ok. Thanks for being a friend here to her, Shay.
Have very much enjoyed your posts. Very funny. Hope you are doing ok.
@Gary…..How very nice to see you back here after such a lengthy “hiatus!” (Despite your great reluctance to do so….) And thank you for your kind words! You have written two very insightful and thoughtful posts and I hope somewhere out there, Phyllis is reading them, so she (or he) realizes how much they’ve touched not just you and me, but so many others who have enjoyed the most creative, spirited and entertaining material this website has seen in some time. Whether she is a he or he is a she——-or whatever, matters none…what does count is that Phyllis is a truly special, sweet soul who spreads sunshine and when they aren’t around, are keenly missed! I realize that we seriously meandered off the beaten path with some of our more insane tangents, but they were meant to be in good fun…I know I had the time of my life trying to keep up with the rapier sharp wit and wickedly wild wisdom of this dearly-loved “character” and I thank the moderators for allowing us to maintain our conversations despite going immensely off-topic! As for your notion that we may have seen the last of Phyllis, oh gosh, I most certainly hope not! I always look forward to staying in touch with this most precious of posters and I am not alone. CeeCee also expressed high praise and a sincere appreciation for the unique contributions of Ms. DeMarco…as did Harry and others. Perhaps there was not so much an intentional snubbing, as you termed it….but some of the replies simply didn’t make it online, Gary…I know many of mine to Phyllis didn’t materialize, and CeeCee also noted the same…it happens to most of us for a variety of reasons, hence my sincere wish is that no hurt or offense was felt on the part of Miss Phyllis because of this. At any rate, I am saying a prayer that our much-esteemed Ms. DeMarco will once again swing by Fairmanville in her snazzy Pontiac and that her apparent “detour” to parts unknown is merely a small “bump in the road.” (Phone home, Phyllis! It’s not the same here without you!) As for you, Gary, it was a pleasure to hear from you again…Please don’t be such a stranger this time around…friendship awaits for both you and Phyllis, too! Later!
Congratulations to all who won. I can’t say I did cartwheels over a lot of them but am so happy that the competition was so strong. That just shows that the soap opera genre is making a creative comeback; people are upping their game.
I do think that DAYS win was well deserved. Since Ron has been writing this show, things have really gelled nicely and I find myself wanting to watch every day. If GH didn’t win, I was glad it was DAYS. Happy, too, for James Reynolds to finally get his “due”.
Bill and Susan Hayes’ Lifetime Achievement Award was well deserved. As the old-time pros they are, of course they had something prepared to say that was delivered with heart. So happy for them!
I think Casey Moss was robbed. (Sorry, Rome Flynn fans.) His work on that storyline was heartbreaking. Those wonderful women from GH probably cancelled each other out, but it just goes to show what an embarrassment of riches they have on that show.
I really liked seeing the old clips.
Wasn’t in love with the song/performance for the In Memorium segment; felt it was too loud and brash.
Carolyn Hennesy was a real trouper doing those Red Carpet interviews with all that chaos going on around her!
Overall, I was thankful to be able to see the streaming and felt the show was better than it has been in other years when they were online-only. Hope this means they will continue to improve on the quality and maybe someday, our soap-loving friends who couldn’t watch on a streaming platform will be able to enjoy it live on TV again.
So happy Days won-the only soap i rarely miss…James deserved that emmy..Casey should had won but there is hope for next year…nice to see the Hayes-my all time favorite super couple recieive a Lifetime Achievment award…Chloe Lanier-so Heather Webberish as bad Nelle-best thing about GH these days as well as Max Gail…so disappointed how Genie was treated and Kin being fired at GH…that Jim guy could had been Laura’s stalker but everyone believes its Scott-there is a story for them…also Scottys daughter could had showed up and Carly could had used her to keep Micheal away from Nelle-more story…jmho!!!
Days…locked in that room for days but these three women still have their hair, makeup and clothes all so perfect-lol
Do we really want to see them looking all grungy? I’m fine with suspending a little belief that maybe there is a hidden bathroom we can’t see. I’m sure Stefano thought of all that. And remember, Marlena was locked in a room in the tunnels before by Kristen.
It has been days in our time, but in soap reality it has only been 1 day — Stefan and Gabby put them in that room and planned to leave town, but took time to have a roll in the hay, and Chad caught them–when he beat Stefan– was arrested, and while Stefan was in the hospital Gabby was caught visiting him– this is all happening on the same day in Salem
Yes, I have no words how Genie was treated. Will she really come back with a “Genie-worthy” story? Can we believe anything TPTB say?
James deserved his. But Days of Abigail and little else merits no applause. And a writer who cheers on a man who poisoned another is a sick writer not a good one.
Rather disgusted with Ron Carlivati and his rehash of OLTL. He did earn the title rehash Ron. Never anything but DID with Ron and frankly I’m ready to cancel a program I once loved for years.
Random thoughts….
GO DAYS!!! So happy for all their wins! The big trifecta, and the two for acting (not to mention the Lifetime Achievement Award to the Hayes duo).
Casey losing was most definitely the biggest shock of the night. I wanted James and Greg to win, but my money would have been on Casey that he would win. I am super disappointed for him because he earned that win big time.
That being said, it was nice to see all the shows got love this year- every soap had someone go up with the chance to honour their show.
Thrilled for James and Greg, who gave such humble and heart-felt speeches. After years and years of little to no recognition, I know these awards mean so much to them and so for that, I am so pleased.
The show itself was alright. Last year’s was better. 3 1/2 hours though? What do they think this was….the Oscars? This year really did go on long. Do they need to recognize EVERY milestone for EVERY show? GH making it to 55 and YR making it to 45 were recognized on their own shows. It just wasn’t necessary for the telecast and was just superfluous when the show didn’t need any more time fillers.
Also, Steve Harvey winning AGAIN, and not showing up AGAIN is ridiculous. He’s probably in the Bahamas somewhere drinking a mai tai. Like Ellen, Kelly and Ryan etc, if you’re putting your name in to win you should make the effort and show up.
Vernee winning was also such a delight. She’s been in the biz for decades in every role imaginable. How nice for her!
That’s all for now….but more will come to me as soon as I hit SUBMIT I’m sure :P…..
I am a long-time GH watcher and started watching Days again when Ron took over. The show deserved to win this year! I want all the remaining soaps to last. I was rooting for Michael Easton but James derserved to win. Happy to see Greg V. finally win, always liked him, even when he was on GH. Was shocked none of the GH actresses won but all three were so good they probably just over-shadowed each other. Was hoping Marla and Casey would win. He was robbed. Hope Max Gail gets a special guest star award next year and wins . He so deserves it!
Good on Greg Vaughn; Casey was great also!
And good on James!
Ryan was working. He was hosting “American Idol” the same time as the Emmys. And then he had to fly back to NY.
Oh, Jules, I agree about the length. Sometimes less is truly more. And Casey’s loss was the only real low point for me. Regarding Steve Harvey, his daughter was lovely and poised in the acceptance speech but honestly, I’d never let my daughter wear such a revealing outfit. Ditto for several other actresses. Again, less exposure can be more flattering than more. Between that and those ridiculous short, ruffled skirts on women way too old to be wearing them, I found the fashions underwhelming. Susan Seaforth Hayes, Deidre Hall, Eileen Davidson looked great.
So happy for recognition for Susan Seaforth Hayes and Bill Hayes.
Next time: Give Genie Francis a special award! Well, one can dream, can’t one?
I agree with your fashion statements, but Suzanne/Maggie being the beautiful woman she is, would have looked more so , in a dress.
I love Eileen Davidson-always so classy and beautiful!
Absolutely thrilled for James Reynolds so well deserved! I am glad Days won as far as I am concerned GH is The Sonny hour B&B is the Liam hour and Y&R is the Victoria hour. Newsflash it takes a ensemble cast working together to make a good soap .
I can’t believe not everyone shown was not dressed for the show. I know it was in the bkground but it just was hard to enjoy the interviews being done. I think Carolyn did a great job.
I really don’t care..
It’s no big deal and has little to no meaning that one is chosen over the many others deserving of the award.
now, its over and won’t come to mind until the next one.
Out of all the awards given through the years I recall only one, just one.
When Anthony Geary/Tony was noted as having 8 awards..
A record I don’t believer will ever be broken by another.
as for others that received rewards I’d have to google ..
Re Anthony Geary: Why, su0000?
STELLA! HEY STELLA!!! I cannot help but hear Marlon Brando as Stanley from A Street Car Named Desire when I hear the name Stella.
I wonder if the actress yelled her acceptance speech? “I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE ACADEMY FOR THIS WIN!!!”
so happy for days but Casey Moss was robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve Harvey is a hack
rpm,
And Dr, Oz is an infomercial Quack ..
So glad you said that, rpm. He is startlingly ubiquitous, despite his incredibly unprofessional, ludicrous mistake of announcing the wrong winner at the Miss Universe in 2015.
He is the next Bill Cosby. What a fraud!
Who, T? Oz? Never watch these trash shows. Harvey? I like him…..in FAMILY FEUD ( and Harry, no, I’m not YELLING, LOL. Titles may be in caps). Why is Harvey a fraud, my Timmmy? What don’t I know??
Ron get back on the tracks I was chuckling because Geary and Bernard called him the writer and they were not in the audience nobody is perfect hepegully RC gets back on track as for CH she was totally rude to Gina for what reason? She took over a part yes she is younger but move on Stafford has
I hoped that Marla would win.
SALUTE
Days of OUR Lives
BEST :
directing
writing
show
BEST : leading man
BEST: supporting actor , man
it was a rob we will steal : Casey Moss
Was it me, did I miss something when the crew came up to win their award for The Price Is Right, and I never even heard Drew Carey’s name mentioned, nor was he there either. I normally skip over the game show awards, that’s why I watched it Mon. on Utube, just so I could pick and choose what I wanted to see, and decided to watch the TPIR award. I know I miss a lot doing this but don’t have the patience for all of the awards.
Missed the beginning of the show – forgot start time. Add me as another surprised at Casey Moss’s loss. I only tune into B&B on rare occasions and Rome Flynn was no match for him. Plus, I remember his stupid comment a year or two ago that he was shocked he wasn’t nominated. Hubris.
Happy about Greg Vaughan. I think he should also get an award for Best Male Hair….hahaha.
Hopefully, Days can keep up the momentum and remain strong.
He does have great hair! 🙂 And that great smile.
Stop with the attacks on Rome nobody was more shocked then he was so please go dry somewhere else this actor Casey Moss will survive better actors then he have been snubbed RF does not deserve this constant abuse
Congrats to the winners.
I am so glad that Camryn Grimes, Greg Vaughan, Wayne Brady and The Price Is Right all won. As for the rest of them…well, never mind.
Later.
Days deserves it just wish that Marci Miller would have won,guess what I found out about her she can really sing check it out on you tube I guess that was really her voice we heard on the show she has such a beautiful voice.This woman can not only act but she can sing too wow
rome flynn sounded lost during hi speech his win was a scam and his team scored him a win because he has an upcoming gig on how to get away with murder and he did by beating the much more deserving casey moss
btw did anyone find it interesting that reign edwards didn’t win when she was holding rome flynn up in that storyline
I agree Reign Edwards was robbed. She and Maya carried that whole damn story, and neither one won anything? What the heck?
Are you talking about he wig she was wearing? Please stop with the attacks on Rome ok he got the stupid Emmy he was gracious he was shocked get off the guys back please
Ok regarding the actor who won for young actor I did not watch the reels is the fact he thanked God is what has most of you twisted in a knot? Newsflash you are not robbed of anything unless it is in your possession to begin with. The young actor has been attacked enough get on with it Lordy Emmys do not in the final scheme of things mean a dam thing.
I don’t mean to sound mean ,but as much as i love the Abby story the writers need to stop referring someone with a mental illness as aloony and a nut case.We are not mental illness is also a physical one because it effects the brain.Otherwise everything else is okay.I am not going to make a big stink out of it but they just need to chance there wording around.I have friends who are mentally ill and they have so much compassion for others.

‘Brilliant Minds’ Officially Canceled After 2 Seasons at NBC; DAYS Alum Al Calderon, OLTL Alum Teddy Sears and Zachary Quinto Among the Cast
After languishing on the bubble for months, on Friday, NBC handed down the decision and canceled the medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons.
Brilliant Minds stars Zachary Quinto as neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
The final six episodes of what will now be the end of its second and final season were already set to air beginning on May 27, after being pulled off the network schedule in February as viewership saw a steep decline. Brilliant Minds second season became the lowest-rated drama on linear TV viewing, which didn’t bode well fo a network renewal, although it had its hard core fan base.

There are some exceptional notables in the cast along with the talented Quinto that includes Days of Our Lives alum, Al Calderon (ex-Javi Hernandez) who joined the series in its second season as Nurse Nico Silva, and One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) who plays Wolf’s love interest and fellow physician, Dr. Josh Nichols.
The rest of the talented cast includes: Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, and Brian Altemus.
In an ironic twist of fate on Thursday, April 30, Days of Our Lives finally revealed the actor who was Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Javi, when they announced that actor Jacob Martinez had now stepped into the role. Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming new episode, Calderon left in the spring of 2025, but will be seen in the part for the final part this month, and then on June 20, Martinez debuts as Salem’s new Javi.
Taking to his Instagram with a sorrowful and heartfelt post on the Brilliant Minds cancellation was Teddy Sears who wrote, “Thank you, Brilliant Minds. I got the call today and I didn’t want to hear, but I knew that it would come, You have to be a particular vintage to quote Don Henley from memory, but that’s the line that came to mind earlier today after I got off the phone with our inimitable showrunner Michael Grassi who delivered the news that NBC has cancelled the series”.

Sears continued, “To say that I feel sad to be moving on from these stories, this character, and this cast and crew just doesn’t paint the entire picture. I’m sad, sure. But I’m also deeply grateful that I got hired to play this part, so proud of the stories we told, and the other actors I got to play alongside. I’m excited to see what comes next, what adventures await, and terrified to be without a professional home. A quick and heartfelt thank you to everyone, all over the globe, who found us and found themselves in us, in our characters and in our stories. We wouldn’t have been able to tell them without you. And we still have 6 fresh episodes yet to air, and I do hope you tune in enjoy the remainder of the series. They’re the best we’ve done.”
As he wrapped up his sentiments, Sears signed off with, “The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I figured out I have to learn again. I’ve been trying to get down to the heart of the matter. But everything changes…Thank you, Brilliant Minds.”
The medical drama was created and executive produced by Michael Grassi alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.

Jacob Martinez is ‘Days of Our Lives’ New Javi Hernandez Replacing Al Calderon in the Role
Finally! The casting has been revealed as to just who would be Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Days of our Lives, Javi Hernandez. On Friday, April 30, the long-running soap opera revealed Jacob Martinez is taking on the part and he will first be seen this coming June 30th and then on all-new episodes streaming on Peacock.
As previously reported, the popular Calderon exited the soap opera last year to join the cast of the NBC primetime medical drama, Brilliant Minds as nurse Nico Silva, who in May will air the remainder of their second season. The series has been on the bubble for renewal by the network. His last episodes as Javi will also air this May on DAYS.
Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming, Martinez has been secretly ensconced in all the drama in Salem for quite some time. When viewers see the new Javi in story, we should learn what will happen in Javi’s relationship with Leo Stark played by Emmy winner, Greg Rikaart, plus his continued relationship with his relatives in the Hernandez clan. Currently, when Javi returned to Salem after taking care of his ailing father, and after the bust-up of his marriage to Leo thanks to Dimitri (Peter Porte), he claimed he had moved on with someone else while he was away from Salem.

Like Calderon before him, Martinez is a multi-talented actor and singer. Jacob’s resume is impressive having appeared in the musical In Pieces: The Musical at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater and he was hand-picked by Joey Contreras to play the role of Grey. Other credits include: the short film, Memory Swim and the play Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage.
Martinez hails from Norfolk, Nebraska and appeared when he was very young at the Johnny Carson Theatre, and as DAYS fans know, Jacob is now working at the Days of our Lives studios, right where the “Tonight Show” is filled. In addition, Jacob Martinez is a graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA).
Taking to his Instagram on Thursday, April 30 once the news of his casting was revealed, Martinez, expressed, “Way too many people to thank in one post, so I’ll just say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART to each and every person who continues to pour into me and encourage me to chase my dreams. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am. I already feel beyond blessed, supported, and loved. See you all in Salem ⏳”
