Serena Scott Thomas to Days of our Lives, But What Role Will She Play?
Look who’s coming to Salem next? In a tease on their official Instagram account, Days of our Lives has revealed that Serena Scott Thomas has been on set and will debut in an upcoming role, leaving many fans guessing just who might she play.
The English actress and documentary producer has previously starred in Diana, Her Story as Diane Prince of Wales, Dr. Molly Warmflash in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, and played the villainess ‘Watcher” in Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, and Bruce Willis’ wife in the film, Hostages among others.
Serena is the younger sister of Kristen Scott Thomas, best known for her Oscar-nominated role in The English Patient. Several DAYS fans are already weighing in that Serena will play Konstantine’s (John Kaeplos) wife.

However, NannyKat 63 may have it all figured out the best, when she posted, that not only will “Serena play Kostantine’s wife,” but the character “had an affair with Victor Kiriakis and got pregnant.” Thus, making Xander (Paul Telfer) her son. She went on to theorize, “Perhaps, And John and Steve will find her in the nick of time… and she’ll enter in time to stop the wedding of Maggie to him. Xander will find out his true identity then. The baby was given to Victor’s brother to be raised in Scotland.”

Sounds plausible to us! Another guess came from donnamoore_23 who said, “Ya’ll think he could be Bobberette ‘s mom or sister or .. SOMETHING to do with his story .. someone who can back up what trauma he went through to be so sick? 🤷🏼♀️ but I think y’all are right could be Katerina.”

Two DAYS stars, Tamara Braun (Ava) and Linsey Godfrey (Sarah) also shared comments on Serena Scott Thomas’ upcoming appearance on DAYS. Godfrey simply said, “YES!!!! while Braun add her guess, expressing, “Ava’s mum. Oh wait, her mom was killed by her dad. Or was she? 🤔”
So, what do you think? What role will Serena Scott Thomas play on Days of our Lives? Share your theories in the comment section below.

Arianne Zucker Reveals Her Last Days of our Lives Airdate
Arianne Zucker, who is no longer on contract with Days of our Lives, and involved in a lawsuit against the show, took to her You Tube channel and in her latest episode, and offered up what she believes is her final airdate as Nicole Walker DiMera.
The actress expressed: “I was really appreciative of the amount of support that I have had since leaving Days of our Lives.” She then added, “My last airdate, I think, it’s July 29th and we’ll see how things go after that.”
Zucker went on to say how she has continued to receive overwhelming support since suing her former employer, Corday Productions, with the allegations that former Co-EP Albert Alarr sexually harassed her and other females at the show, and that the production company entity did not respond sufficiently and adequately.

After lodging her complaints, Zucker said her agents received two notices that Corday Productions were reducing her pay before her character was ultimately written off. Zucker’s contract expired in January and since DAYS tapes over six months ahead it brings her final airdate, which as of now, to the end of July. Zucker is suing for harassment, discrimination, retaliation, negligent hiring and supervision, and wrongful termination among other claims.
Previously, Corday Productions issued this statement on Zucker’s claims: “The allegations in Ms. Zucker’s lawsuit are without merit. Corday Productions, offered to renew Ms. Zucker’s contract including offering her a pay increase. Rejecting Ms. Zucker’s counteroffer does not constitute retaliation. Complaints about Mr. Alarr’s on-set behavior were promptly investigated. Corday Productions fully cooperated with the impartial investigation and subsequently terminated Mr. Alarr.”
On her You Tube channel, Arianne went on to thank everyone who came out to the east coast fan event last weekend that featured several DAYS stars. She expressed, “My whole goal is to really help people stand up for themselves.” Arianne also shared she thinks it’s important for people who have gone through trauma to help each other through it.

On DAYS, Nicole is still in the dark that Sloan (Jessica Serfaty) is raising her child, Jude, with Eric (Greg Vaughan), and Eric also doesn’t know that he is raising his biological son. Will Eric and Nicole reunite and will Nicole find out what Sloan, Melinda and Leo (Greg Rikaart) have been hiding for months, before she exits the show? Stay tuned. There has been on official confirmation from DAYS that July 29th is Zucker’s final airdate.
You can check out Ari’s latest episode from her You Tube Channel below.
Now let us know, do you think somehow DAYS and Arianne will work these out and she will somehow be back on the show? What do you think Nicole’s exit will look like? Do you think they will recast? Let us know in the comment section below.

DAYS and ‘Supernatural’ Alum Jensen Ackles Joins the Cast of Justin Hartley’s CBS Series ‘Tracker’
Look who’s joining Justin Hartley’s hit freshman drama, Tracker! None other than another soap alum, former Days of our Lives and Supernatural favorite Jensen Ackles.
In a reveal via Hartley’s Instagram on Thursday, Ackles is set to play Hartley’s on-screen brother on the CBS procedural drama. In Tracker, Colter Shaw is estranged from his brother, Russell, which has been a big part of the mystery of season one.
Ackles is best known for his long run as Dean Winchester in The CW’s Supernatural, a role he reprised in the prequel of the series The Winchesters. He also recently starred in ABC’s Big Sky as Sheriff Beau Arlen and in The Boys as Soldier Boy.

Jensen was the original Eric Brady on Days of our Lives, a role he played from 1997-2000, before departing for the world of primetime and film. Eric was in love with Nicole played by Arianne Zucker. The part of Eric was recast with Greg Vaughan taking over the role in 2012.

In his Instagram post, Justin thanked everyone for watching Tracker, and then revealed Ackles as the surprise casting announcement in the role of Russell, while Jensen was playing pinball in the video! No word yet on when Jensen’s first episode as Russell will air. Stay tuned.

wow. talk about rough foreplay!
I’m in love with this promo! I can’t wait!!
I waited sooooo long for this, I’ll be watching, that’s for sure!! FINALLY!
Thanks to you for The great James Sott’s interview, you are The best!! 😉 I love James and Ali, together they ROCK!
So sensitive of Days to feature a violent sex scene between a heroine and the character who once raped her.
Really, I get why TPTB like that pairing in theory (chemistry etc.) but they do everything in their power to make it repulsive to anyonre with a minimum of decency.
No more no less sensitive than Days trying to sell a love story between Nicole and the man who once tried to strangle her to death. I don’t see anyone getting up in arms about that aspect of the EJole pairing in the last few months. Hypocritical much? And besides, you want to judge soap characters and pairings based on real life standards of morals and ethics when these characters never really pay for their crimes anyway? Really?
Just because they did it elsewhere doesn’t make it right this time. Obnoxious much? Ignorant much?
In any case and no matter how someone wants to interpret what happened between EJ and Sami some centuries ago, it was never violent.
There was never morality based in soaps..and if you sit there and judge dont watch.. EJ and Sami were never a normal couple and Sami was never ever a herione go look up her past…..that is what makes them tick..and for EJAMI fans wanting more..
Loved it, can’t wait! Go go Ejami!!!
Most exciting stuff I’ve seen on Days in a long long time! Can’t wait to see how this all plays out. Days is finally about to get really really good! Kudos to the writers for taking such a bold move!
LOVED it! Yay EJami! It sure is gonna blow the canvas wide open.
nhuixnhuix, Sami ISN’T a heroine, even during the previous writing regime, heroine’s do not attempt murder on a defenseless man and then stand by and watch her boyfriend throw away his ethics, his job and his sister nor do they put their welfare above the welfare of their son.
Sami and EJ are and always have been a volitile couple, it’s who they are. Their passions run deep from hate and yes, to love. We won’t get the love right away, but I’m tuning in hoping we’ll get it eventually.
I can not wait for Days this week! And, I can’t remember the last time I said that! The interview with James Scott was great too – he and Alison have always brought out the best performances in each other!
WOW!!! That was beyond drama!!!! Way to go James & Alison!!!! These two definitely have the chemistry together on my tv screen. I really hope the writers carry forward with all the soapiness this story line could bring to DOOL!!!!! Prove to me that you new writers want the viewers that have left that you want us to come back!!!
Oh, MY GOODNESS!!! Thank-you for waking me up out of my coma! DOOL you have now reeled me back in HOOK! LINE! SINKER!! One short video of EJAMI has brought back my enthusiasm for this show! I hope you find a way to keep them together!! James and Alison have amazing chemistry. There is no one like them. Now THIS is a soap opera!!
Wow!
EJami brings so much emotion and raw intensity to every sense they are in! I am so looking forward to watching this!!!! Loved it and cannot wait to see more EJami scenes. Thank you. I am glad that Days realizes what potential this pairing has and can bring to their show. It is endless!!!!
Been waiting for over a year for James & Ali to share meaningful scenes. They always bring out the best in each others performances Cant Wait to watch #Ejami
FINALLY!!! I was wondering when this reset was finally going to get some new life breathed into it. Whether you’re a fan of EJ and Sami or not, the repercussions of that kiss will affect so many characters and will definitely stir the pot. This is precisely what a good soap should do. Drama, drama, DRAMA!!! That’s what the viewers need and crave. And what better way than to involve two characters who’ve been dancing around each other for the past 5 years. It’s so wrong but oh so right!
It is also a great opportunity to bring EMMY worthy character Sami Brady on our screens. Were did our favourite villain go? She is much older now and she has kids so I would not expect her to be her immature conniving self. But Sami was never a damsel in distress. She was a strong woman and no one messed with her! I want that character back 🙂
I’m very excited to see all of this very soapy drama unfold between EJ & Sami – more excited than I’ve been about Days in far too long.
James and Alison are sure to provide us with an outstanding, Emmy-worthy performance during the outpouring of emotion that will characterize their upcoming scenes. I know that I will be riveted to the screen and hoping for more interaction between EJ & Sami as the story continues.
I loved the weekly preview! I’ve watched it 5 times already. It’s great to see Ali Sweeney and James Scott get back into their element. They are great at doing the raw and emotionally charged scenes! As for Sami and EJ’s characters, just from that quick hint in the weekly preview, they seeme to blame themselves as much as they do each other for Johnny being missing. I’m excited to see how it all develops! It’s raw, juicy Days!
I love love Jamison. They work so hard and it really pays. I’m really struggling to remember when was the last time I have seen a scene with such dramatic effect in a soap. I really cannot!
EJAMI are the best ever. I love them and I have tuned out for the past few years due to the boring as paint SAFE and the terrible EJOLE. But I cant wait for this and I cant wait to see the ratings go up because of it. EJAMI= Ratings GOLD
LMAO .. Good luck with that. Ejami have not brought ratings in years no matter how many times they Screw, Rape, have raped, Steal eachothers child, or destroy eachother.
They DO have chemistry,, But its always used badly.
Marlena and Stephano have chemistry too, But writers dont write rediculous stories to destroy them.. Its not even about Safe .. break rthem up, keep them .. whatever… But this garbage wont bring ratings.. Just a few 100 die hard ejami’s
Only GOOD writers and stories improve ratings and we STILL dont have that.
Horrible thing to say about EJAMI’s. There are thousands of EJAMI fans. They have MAJOR chemistry even more than the god-awful EJOLE and SAFE, even some friends of mine are SAFE fans. Though I will agree with you that their chemistry is used badly ALL the time and the current terrible writing is really impacting on the show.
Ejole and Safe has brought even LESS in term of ratings..you are so not credible..
Will people PLEASE stop saying that EJami=ratings gold. You don’t know that. Quite the contrary, they haven’t increased the ratings before, so why would they now? A couple doesn’t make/break the show! EJami is no exception. Yes, many viewers like them, but there’s a great deal of hatred for this non couple too. Hello? Moreover, everyone have their faves (couples, characters , storylines) & have different reasons for tuning into the show. So it incredibly irritates me when people claim EJami=ratings gold or ratings lead, when they have no proof to back that up. And, with all due respect, if there’s no evidence to prove such a statement-when it turns out to be wrong, you’ll end up looking like a fool.
I like EJ & Sami because they’re entertaining, complex, unique….It’s a shame never capitalized on their amazing potential.
However, I might be in the minority here, but I really doubt that EJ & Sami will EVER become a couple. The fact that EJ not only framed John, but also that those actions led to endangering their children once again-does NOT bode well. Sami hasn’t even forgiven EJ for the Sydnapping yet-let alone what he’s done to her since then (taking the children, the 2 rafes debacle, etc).
Moreover, they come together out of GRIEF, not LOVE. And I doubt Sami’s going to suddenly fall in love with EJ, after everything he’s done to her & definitely not when she finds out about his latest shenanigans.
No, I don’t think this is about EJami at all. This is to lay the ground work for Will’s coming out storyline & for Sami to come full circle with her past. There’ll be A LOT of drama for all the players involved (which is why tptb chose it to be EJ Sami sleeps with) & Safe will probably temporarily seperate, only to come out stronger than ever (yuck).
Once again the EJamis will be getting crumbs. Sorry to be a downer, but it is a realistic & strong possibility.
God, I hope I’m wrong about this.
Ther are RATINGS GOLD. SAFE and EJOLE have completely brought the ratings down. However, I agree with you that EJAMi are complex and so entertaining and also about the fact that it will lead NO WHERE.
Well I haven’t been excited like this in well I don’t actually remember when, it’s been so long where I would be counting down the hours to watch another episode of Days!! This promo brought back all of those feelings of anticipation to watch the show!! James and Alison have amazing onscreen chemistry, this little sneakpeak just rocked me to my core it was so UNBELIVEABLY RAW!! I am in awe of these two, they bring so much to ourscreens, evoke so much emotion. I am sitting on the edge of my seat for this weeks scenes, I just know it is gonna be REAL good!!
I have been watching it on loop. I have never ever been so excited for a TV show to air in my entire life as I am for the EJami scenes. I was raised on this show, and in fact, it was in the delivery room while I was being born.
It is time for all the Ejami fans to really get what we have waited for! Can’t wait. I haven’t been this excited to watch Days in years!
Reduculus that The Idiopts that be never learn. Most Ejami’s hate A.S and Love J.S.. All this does is priovide tittilationfor them, destruction for Sami, and its a sad .. sad thing.. We were promiused “Romance” . And excitement.. This borders on Sado masochistic.. And if Ejami’s think this will lead to a happy ever after it wont .. But I dont think they care, nor do they care if Sami si destroyed.. They Want teenage Sami and wont accept her as marturing.. They Hate Safe and will risk losing DOOL to destroy Safe.. Frankly the PTB could have broken SAafe without doing this.. Nor have they delivered on ***ANY*** Story.. So I excpect to hear of their cancelation very soon.. I know I wont be watching this crapfest. Mostly because I HATE being lied to.. And DOOL viewes have been Duped.
LOVE THIS PROMO!
I’m so excited to have something else to watch on Days besides just Matthew Ashford’s amazing performances. I love that Sami isn’t going on blind faith anymore. She seems to be the only Brady thinking logically these days, and it’s about time. Smart Sami is back. Acceptance without question doesn’t equal maturity. Submission to the pressures and expectations of your family, to the point where you’re still going against your natural instinct and better judgement well into your thirties does not equal maturity. In fact, it means the opposite. Sami was not comfortable bringing her kids to see a man who’s been the recipient of death threats and prison beatings, but her family pushed her to do it. Sami did it because she’s been pod-Sami for the past couple of years, doing whatever she needs to do to ingratiate herself to her parents and her husband (who treats her more like a daughter than his wife).
Sami is finally maturing. She’s finally wising up to the fact that she’s a mother who knows better than anyone what’s best for her children, and for her peace of mind, and I’m thrilled we’re finally going to be getting a taste of it.
As for EJ and Sami – YES!! FINALLY!! Whatever comes of these scenes, I’m bracing myself for it. James and Alison are going to chew these scenes up and spit them out, and I, for one, am going to lap up every second of it.
I’m THRILLED that we may have a chance at Ejami. But that’s not the only story that I’m drooling over. I’m interested in the Dimera/Alice connection as well as the Jack, Jen and Dr. Dan story. It’s been looking like there may be a Chad, Abbie and Mel story going on.
The thing is, is that there are Lots more going on and involving all the characters. Story content. That is what will make or break the show.
I can hardly wait for the EJ and Sami scenes!
Awesome preview!!! I love Sami and Ej together!! Finally!! RAFE has been so boring. I will be watching and excited to see what happens next!
I just do not see the chemistry between Sami & EJ.
don’t worry people who know what is chemistry SEE IT. it is maybe one of the couple actors strongest on-screen chemistry i have ever seen on my screen..to know that writers NEVER really use it to write good stories is a freaking shame..no wonder soaps are dying..
Hello, I now what chemistry is and I don’t see it with those two. Sami is great with Rafe and EJ and Nicole bring the heat. Sami has come too far to fall back into old habits. The soaps are failing, because no one seems to learn from their past mistakes and stories are replayed over and over. If they are your favorite couple, then that’s cool and you are probably not alone. But I am surprised by this move and if Sami becomes pregnant by EJ again, I will be through with this show.
Ej and Nicole bring NOTHING imo and Sami and Rafe barf..can’t even comment about this horror..but of course to each his own, as for the characters growing..hello of course they do but they don’t need some contrived and fake makeover and have to keep the flaws which in the first place made them complex and interesting..you want to watch Caroline and Charles Ingalls well watch but you will be the only one (and at least Michael Landon was far more talented than the guy playing Rafe..don’t know his name)
I agree with “the truth” EJOLE are soooooooooooo boring that I feel like ripping my hair out and SAFE are to barf. I would rather scratch my nails on a blackboard than watch those terrible couples. Many people are through with this show due to the current couples and we will see who brings in the ratings come November 18. Goodbye EJOLE and Hello lovely EJAMI.
I think if Sami and EJ get involved, Rafe will end up with Carrie. Or perhaps Sami will get pregnant with Ej’s kid again, and pass it off as Rafe’s, or surprisingly confess. I hate seeing Sami back with EJ, but I think it may be a fling because they are upset. I also think that someone Will may have made angry, over the website gamling thing, may be behind it all.
Hey Nancy,
I agree with you.
Finally something INTERESTING and EXITING !! Otherwise this soap seems a snoozefest, i don’t watch anymore but if they reunite Ej and Sami played by these actors and finally write a story FOR them and not AGAINST them or waste them with some other dull and irelevant love-interests i could come back to watch..it is up to the writers..but yep this promo is well-done..now let’s see if they can do something good with it.
I love days and Ill be watching it till the end which hopefully will be a long time from now. Anything to shake up the ratings and storylines sounds refreshing!
LOVE them or hate them no one can deny they bring BUZZ, and the HEAT! That’s what I want in my soap opera, so I say Bring On EJAMI in all it’s GLORY!!!
the rating have not gone up with EJ and Sami together and they never will,love or hate them,thats a fact,,,,
Bo and Hope have chemistry
Kate and Stafano
EJ and Nicole
Sami and Lucas
Sami and Lucas
Sami and Lucas
well Sami and Lucas 🙂
Chemistry is subjective-it’s a matter of taste, making your eyes see what they want to see.
Personally, I thought Lumi were cute together, but their romantic/love scenes felt rather akward & forced. They had more of a bff/sibling vibe. As for EJole, they have chemistry, but it’s the sleazy kind: they connect on a physical, sexual level-nothing more. It’s as JS said of their ONS: “he NAILED her”. Nicole knows that deep down, Ej will never love her with his heart, because it’ll always belong to someone else (Sami, Taylor).
I do agree with you about the ratings, though. EJami won’t have an affect on them. Some tune in for them, others tune out because of them – so it balances each other out. Not everyone is the same (if we were the world would be a very dull place indeed ^_^), & not everyone likes the same things/ couples/ characters/ storylines. So, in short, EJami/EJole/Safe/Bope/Jarlena are NOT “ratings gold” or “ratings lead”. I’ve said it once & I’ll say it again, loud & clear: A COUPLE DOES NOT (!!!) MAKE OR BREAK A SHOW. It’s an ignorant, arrogant , baseless assumption used to bash OR to argue in favor of a pairing. It’s really annoying & I wish people would stop saying that, unless they come up with irrefutable proof. Besides, soaps are a dying breed anyway.
Great and smart comment i agree.
Completely repulsive. WRONG MOVE, Days. Nope.
Completely AWESOME you mean.RIGHT MOVE, Days. Yeah.
alison (sammy) and galen (rafe) are two of the most attractive people on the entire show of days and they look and seem to be the best couple for each other on the show. I would never want to see sammy with anybody else except perhaps ej. And for rafe I would not want to see him with anyone else except with sammy. I hate how sammys older sister is having so much screen time with rafe, she looks like a dog compared to sammy.-just saying! Those teeth of hers, and her hugging on sammys man rate is so annoying and just ewwwwwww! Its to the point that I hate watching the show because every time you watch days sammys older sister is on the screen with rafe. I only watch the show because I enjoy only seeing sammy and rafe together on the screen. They’re hot together not apart from each other. I definitely will stop watching the show and convince others to do the same, if they try to put sammys older sister carrie together with rafe, even them hooking up is just gross and no one should want that ewwwww.
dacey you said a mouth full and I concur with you. Everyone must remember that carrie is happily married and her husband is way too old looking to be involved with that extremely young looking girl named abigale. And what is really crazy is how the writers are trying to perhaps pitch the idea of them to being together is just stupid. Carries husband looks psycho, very old looking, wrinkled, stupid hairstyle that looks like he is trying to look youthful and cool but it just comes across as old and desperately trying to be younger than what he obviously is in life. Its really pathetic and sad because who does that. And why has no one tried to help him or say to him about the obvious. It kind of feels like someone is setting him up to be bashed and to look like a fool on screen. This guy has to be at least in his mid fifties or older and he looks every bit of it on screen and probably off. Then if paired with abigale ewwwww just ridiculous. He is better off staying paired up with carrie that is more believable better than abigale. UGHHHH
