Photo Credit: JPI Studios

This week on Days of our Lives, the double wedding of Chad (Billy Flynn) and Abigail (Marci Miller) and Sonny (Freddie Smith) and Paul (Christopher Sean) begins! And from the latest promo from NBC, it looks like there is certainly a wedding crasher on the horizon!

The drama is set for these duos, but will anyone get their happily ever after, and say their “I do’s”? DAYS Daytime Emmy winner, Freddie Smith took to Instagram to share his enthusiasm for the upcoming scenes that fans of the NBC series will begin to see reveal itself.

Smith expressed: “Can’t wait to see the double wedding! It was one of those days that reminds me why I wanted to be an actor. The material, the story, the twists and turns made it a blast to film these scenes. The entire cast and crew brought the heat and I have a feeling the final product will show that. Who do you think crashes the wedding?”

Watch this week’s promo for DAYS on the double wedding after the jump.  Then place your bets: Will both couples, one couple, or none of the couples get hitched? What do you think will go down when the wedding crasher shows up? Comment below!

It’s Ben.

I thought it would be Will..or is it Ben…

Good guesses, Jimmy….thinking the same thing. How about Sami, come to tell Sonny off??

That is a good one…i havent been watching much…been ill and dealing with four kidney stones..so i have missed a lot…

Sorry to hear that, Jimmy. You have had it a bit rough this past year.
The good stuff out of this is that you always spring back.
Drink lots of water….. sometimes, if small enough, and per my husband, kidney stones may be ‘passed’ naturally.
Back to DOOL, LOL….do you think Will is done? Do you think we will see him again? More importantly, is he alive?
Take care, my friend.

Hey, again, Jimmy.
We only saw a bit of whomever it is, right? We know it’s a male; we know he’s young. If Will appeared to Lucas in a drunken stupor, then he wasn’t real. I’m beginning to think it may be Ben, come to claim his ‘wife’ and ‘son’, Thomas. In his sick head, Ben may still be thinking that.

“Ain’t” that sweet !! Truly….I love both Paul and Sonny.
But, truth be told; in my heart of hearts, this would be the most dramatic, opportune time for Will to appear….and, not as a ghost.

They could fool us and it could be Sonny’s brother-forget name at moment!!!

You have a point, Jimmy. Anything is a go!!

I’m glad Ben is back. Because his distraction is gonna stop Sonny and Paul from getting married. Because he is gonna confront the killer of the man he really loves.

Yes, Lynn…but, only if Will is alive. Both Paul and Sonny deserve some happiness.
As far as Ben….I’d love for him to return either on Days as another character ( it was done before with Roman, when he played the part of Chris Kasochek(sp), or on another soap).
Not only is he gorgeously HOT; Robert is extremely talented at his craft.

I am hoping it’s Ben arriving to break that crap up. I want Chad miserable for a long time after what he did to Gabi.

all he did was go back to abby she should of known he still love abby

correct – it had everything to do with giving Chad – something – to do… till they could get Marci Miller up and running… and boy has she landed.

you know that 6 month leap… doesn’t happen quickly enough.

( wish it wasn’t so far ahead they produce )

LOL, Lia!! What did Chad do to Gabi? It’s the other way around….that’s how I see it….
With all due respect, Gabi has always wanted Chad….stalked him, while she knew he was with Abby. Have you forgotten how crazy she was?
And, even after Abby left, or presumed dead, Gabi did her best to be with Chad. He was hurt and lonely and fell for her machinations.
With friends like her who needs enemies? Is that how the saying goes?

Chad broke up with her like a gentleman…she knew he was still in love with Abby all along #chabigailforever

@Lia . that is truthfully , a FUN’ny post.

and yes… I will swear on the mountaintops… just how… much… I love my Gabs

she is the cutest of the cute.. and with age, experience, and a well deserved “leading man of her own”

do you think it’s Eli ? I see sexy fun. sidebar: it’s the bees knees that he’s the grandson of Julie. she’s the real deal hoot.

ie: Chad and Abs : how they clinched ” IT ” every since Abs was hit by the car that was meant for Dario ? the response and emotion reeling from Abs and Chad has been nonstop. I’m so happy for these two. Marci Miller has more than made Abs her own. plus, one of her stronger “suits” if you will.. is when she’s living at the DiMera Manse. she’s not so uptight .. and is actually contributing as the lady of the manor and in wheeling and dealing as a Dimera. “for the good of all” keeping the peace

I remember posting back then… I hadn’t watched DAYS in so long.. and was STRUCK – I tell you … STRUCK over the head by the love scenes between Chad and Gabs. that same day… I upchucked @GH whenst tired Sonny and Carly attempted the same script. oh it was a world of difference.

for the good of the show… it’s good to see that the three of them can move on .

heck it’s just great to see the young adults having a life of their own

Yes, Camila is beautiful—-I just do not like the character.
She always makes bad choices. So, I do hope TPTB do ground her. Eli may be the IT guy….problem is: how will Dragon-Lady Julie react?

Cant wait the show is getting good wow

Could it be Sami?

Yeah, James, I said the same thing….maybe Sami? That would be a show-stopper!!

I do hope that the weddings go forward, we all know that Will will be back but let’s not forget he cheated on sonny and turned him away when sonny needed him. Let will wish them happiness and move on with his own life.

that would be something… wouldn’t it.

because I too… really like Christopher Sean acting, as Paul.

he’s a sensitive endearing Man. Just like Sonny, just like Will. wow… gotta think about that one

any way… the magic certainly was their… before Freddie Smith, LEFT the show. since his return. I kinda had the feeling that … Freddie Smith wanted to be fleshed out.. given more opportunities to meld and mix with the cast. AND the show went their. where they boggled things… was when Sonny went all corporate mogul and small fried out. THANKFULLY.. RC saw this and rectified this…. ??? perhaps Freddie Smith is saving the best for last. because he truly has chemistry with both Paul and Will. and/or it was Paul and Will who will turn out to be

it’s just more drama to unfold… yes

when you step out of the box.. and stop with the cliché .. and disrupt the wedding… let Paul and Sonny have some bliss… and know how happy they are. not the same kind of love ; no ? or yes ? when someone has to move on… from your deceased true love

I mean why not… Will would have to own up to his “infidelity” with Paul.

etc… etc…

with Gabs and Abs… AND Gramma Marlena

wow… i’m excited for this

and it’s still not unlike yours – all the same emotions

cheers

ARGH ! with Gabs and Arianna Grace.. AND Gramma Marlena

I say it’s Ben or Will

It’s Ben

Its either Dario, or Lucus. The Ben thing played out. Will is dead .

Yes, that makes sense, Raeann. Only….is Will really dead?

I hope they dont bring him back even tho I loved his character more than the new Will he was horrible! Will needs to stay dead Samis heart broke

I think Ben crashes.

Looking forward to Days. I used to watch as routine, but now I’m actually looking forward to watching and seeing what happens!!!!!

I think Sami crashes the wedding with news that Will is alive and being hidden somewhere!

Will has been recuperating in the capable, loving hands of his mother….with EJ and the kids.
We saw Will in the flesh at the chapel with Lucas. Now, Sami comes charging , a’ la Valkyrie to announce what you just said, Richad.
I have been saying this since Ben “killed” will…. I hope you’re right.

Me too! I love Sami!

I don’t think Sami would let people believe Will was dead for close to 2 years and not say anything.So i don’t think Sami had anything to do with Will’s death been faked.

I had a thought, Richard. Could the wedding crasher be Stefano?????

Nah…scratch that, LOL. Stefano in a leather jacket? Double LOL….not stocky enough….young hands…It has to be Will. Please, ye gods?

The wedding crasher is Ben, Celia. He makes the most sense because he has “ties” with both couples, plus, he was a patient at the mental hospital. Ben will crash the wedding and announce Will is alive.

Ben’s appearance could terrify Abby or prove to her tht she’s over his hold on her for the torture he put her through, but also give her hope that her cousin is alive which would absolve her of the guilt she feels for Will’s “death.”

Sonny would finally see Ben for the first time since Ben “murdered” Will which could send him in a rage, but also be hopeful that Will is indeed alive which would also cause Paul stress.

The news will send a bunch of characters on a search for Will and be what brings Sami home.

These wedding episodes are must see TV, Celia!

@4ever DAYS.
Oh, my gosh, 4ever, I am so hooked ……going crazy.
I do agree with you….I have wracked my brain; banged my head against the walls, trying to figure this out. Finally, what you just said dawned on me…..I said to myself, it has to be Ben.
I was stuck on Sami for the longest time….then Will…then, incredibly, even Stefano.
But, the little bit of the mysterious ‘crasher’ which was shown, was enough to determine it was a young male, by the clothing and his left hand….a young hand.
Thank you, my friend. I definitely agree with your premise. So exciting. Days has been so great lately….must see TV, indeed.
Plus, the comedic scenes with Bonnie? Killing it….love, love, love it !!

we will just have to tune in today and fine out

When does Tyler Christopher come on? Could it be him?

Oh, yes!!! Good one, Chrystie!!

LOL

the suspense and excitement is BUILDING

come on steadfast DrOOL . let’s fight this…

” I ” “do not” “give a hoot” about :

the GH Twins and Franco ! YES I’ll say it again… and go their

take your GH twins and franco and be done with … oh wait … it’s time for more Sonny and Carly

DAYS has all the more feasting to satiate, whet and stimulate every thing

is Will alive and coming home
who exactly is Tyler Christopher
are Eve and Kristen fast friends and take over
TC and Louise Sorel as Vivian Alamaine have a connect
Lisa Rinna is back ‘IN MY” orbit.

Sami is back – need we say more

the one thing that troubled me – about “Will” visit with Lucas at the chapel

as Will is telling Lucas he could find another love of his life. and he suggested getting back with Sami. course it was considered and what not

but it took me – left wondering… I HOPE THIS IS NOT a send off.. of Sami and Lucas. please tell me this isn’t so… OK I said it because I wondered it.

I still want Jade Harlow – even her name is sexed out. as Sheryl Connors. dag.. people , wiki her… she’s the definition of cat on a hot tin roof.

Lucas -Brady – Eric – Justin – Eli – every man for himself… she’s in every one senses.

now that Salem is without their vixens… Sami and Nicole. let’s fly

Abigail does look beautiful. I just don’t see how Chad and Abigail will ever be allowed to be happy. They always have these problems coming between them and more than most super couples.

shucks… and it’s a token of true comradeship… for the audience and these two solid actors.

god – i’m going super couple… I do care not…. these two are love defined

there are so many sleuths, machinations… mind bend or will on the horizon

just splendid feast of the best ACT’ors

Sami
Kristen
Eve
Vivian

LOL wallah this is top draw ( can’t forget – Will, Tyler Christopher, and Billie )

so we’ll let Chad and Abs honeymoon.. and live and learn from the best their is

hurry up and wait

It’s Santa Claus!

Yes, Santa!!! Guess who’s in his sack? Any number of people….LOL.

Duh! And his twin sister Princess Anastasia Romanov!

It’s Dario!

Lucas will be the crasher

I say Will,remember where there is a Will there is a way.Sorry about that.Just a little sense of humor there.

I like it, xmascarol. Humor should be applied at every opportunity….keeps us grounded.

I want it to be Dario. I do not see Chad and Abigail being a super couple together. I also would not mind it to be Sami with news that Will may be alive.

I prefer Dario appearing over anyone else. I think Dario is well needed in Salem.

OMG – there are surprises upon surprises !

Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins : as Shiela… is a GOOOOOOD actress. I swear on this. She has a connect .

A Connect ! which is always a good thing.. because, evenasmuch as she’s fantastic at the kiriakis Manse. she’s dynamo stuff – with – Bonnie. T-box is acting with the best. and slinging right

she “knows” Eli.

LOVE that this could mean not just a guest arc… i’ll take recurring plus.

ANOTHER

“wait for this ”

per soapconfidential.com XANDER – Paul Telfer is heard having a conversation with Victor… LET THIS BE . LET THIS BE

I want that Xander w/Victor is being groomed for the head of Kiriakis Empire. return!

sorry this bit of info … I think was from the “inquisitor”

i’m hoping it wasn’t an old article… so want Paul Telfer to come back home.

ANYWAY: Marlena is saying goodbye to Eric ( Greg Vaughan ) let’s hope this isn’t a swan song for and with Nicole.

I read that Greg is staying. What I don’t like is that he is soooo good and his longing for Nicole and he and Ari have so much chemistry and she will be leaving soon. I wish they would bring Theresa back for Brady because they were good together and now hopefully they will recast Nicole or find a new love interest for Eric. He and Jen do not work.

Yes on Xander too. Paul Telfer would make a GREAT leading man if given the chance. That accent, that body! He is sooo needed. He can be reformed. He is capable of caring for a woman. He showed shades of it with Nicole. He has chemistry with everyone.

Oh My God – I’m In Heaven

“I feel I’m watching a real soap opera”

I – L – O – V – E – watching this show 365 days a year !

I love it – everything in Salem is palatable.

Salute ! ” DAYS of OUR L – I – V – E – S ”

I’m watching todays ep… wedding buffet. the best cry

MUST Prop – Lauren Koslow and Thaao Penghlis – exchanging , ( there’s that sophistication and doling of wit ) FUNNY twosome. – exchanging their own fake marriage vows.

ground rules:

Kate : separate bedrooms and no sex
Andre : and no bothering me till I’ve had my morning coffee

et el … sublime fodder

as they toast : Kate to Andre . ” you better, not, mess with me ”
Andre: “whatever you say dear” the looks exchanged between them, telling us all what belies their union.

class acts

Marci Miller is knocking me out.. how in command she’s taken Abs

I love Billy Flynn

DOOL – Sony – NBC : “Thank You” for the best

Deidre Hall to Guest Star on Season 3 of Comedy Series ‘Hacks’

Days of our Lives star Deidre Hall (Marlena) is set to play a version of herself on third season of Hacks. Look for Hall this month in an episode titled “The Deborah Vance Christmas Spectacular,” to air on May 23 on Max.

Not only will Hall appear in the episode, but so too, will Back to the Future and Taxi star, Christopher Lloyd.

According to EW.com, Deidre will play “a fictional version of herself, who just so happens to be the mom of Paul W. Downs’ Jimmy.”

Hacks co-creator and Downs’ wife, Lucia Aniello shared on Hall’s casting, “It made sense to us that Jimmy’s late father, a big-time manager, would have been married to an actress. When the idea for Deidre Hall came up, it just felt right.”

As for Lloyd, he will portray, reclusive writer Larry Arbuckle, who is to have had a rather famous grandfather. In the episode, Hall and Lloyd’s character intersect, which leads to onscreen sparks.

“We had written some things that were flirty, but the chemistry was palpable,” says co-creator and series star, Downs shared. Hacks stars Jean Smart as comedy legend Deborah Vance.

Season 3 of Hacks debuts on Thursday night May 2nd on Max 9 pm ET/6 pm PT.

So, will you be watching Deidre Hall guest starring on Hacks? Comment below.
