Looks like Sami Brady will be back in action on NBC’s Days of our Lives later in the New Year, according to Alison Sweeney, Sami’s portrayer.

During a visit on Friday to the set of Hallmark Channel’s morning talker Home & Family, to promote her upcoming holiday film for the network entitled, Time For You To Come Home For Christmas, Sweeney chatted it up with hosts Cameron Mathison and Debbie Matenopoulos.

During her segment, Alison revealed “Sami is back, causing some trouble.” But she was quick to note that it will be awhile before she is seen on-air clarifying “My scenes are not going to air until next Summer, next August.”

Sweeney promised the viewers and DAYS fans that there was great stuff coming up with her visit. And if Sweeney’s last few returns are any indication, whatever is cooking in and out of Salem that may bring her back on to the canvas, we know it will be juicy, because when Sami is around the pot gets stirred!

So, excited to hear Alison will be back on your DAYS screens in 2020? Comment below.

“My scenes are not going to air until next Summer, next August.” So in other words, the Idiots in Charge are NOT taking advantage of the much publicized “hiatus” to end this ridiculous 8 months ahead taping schedule? They have the golden opportunity to fix this error, and they’re not taking it? Always good to see Sami Brady back in town. Maybe she will bring Elvis along with her this time, though it’s unlikely if she can’t talk James into coming out of retirement. The LAST thing anybody wants to see is another ReRon recast. Every one so far has… Read more »

She’s come back for the finale!, to give the final cliff-hanger, just like Allison Perkins on OLTL, only this time with a big heads up to the fandom. It’s Re-Ron in his decline. No one in the cast has a Contract any more. So why not just let the dedicated viewers of this show watch or not without more hype. IMO, if the writing and story telling were really good, Days would’nt need any hype., but, they say its renewed so…, watch for ‘crap in the app’ folks, coming to your phone Sept 2020, but only if you have the… Read more »

The cast were set to wrap filming at the end of November; they’re not currently filming, as far as I am aware.

“Every one so far has been a big FAIL.”
^^ This statement is so false, though, I shouldn’t be surprised, given how negative your name is.

I don’t think this tapping 8 months ahead will stop. Ken Corday spelled it out in February 2017. “That is the only way we can keep the show going. The money that we’re getting to produce the show is not what it was four years ago.” Corday said that is the reason the DOOL is taping 8 shows a week instead of 5 shows a week. That way DOOL does not have to pay for studio time etc for 13 weeks a year. NBC decides how much money Corday is given per year. This hiatus, in my opinion, could be… Read more »

It’s been clearly stated, multiple times, by TPTB that Days went on hiatus at the end of November and had episodes in the can through August, which would include Sweeney’s. Until there’s confirmation about a revised taped-to-air schedule,post hiatus, people need to calm down.

People won’t calm down because they know best and the facts, and the rest of us are dumb.

DAYS Alison Sweeney Previews the New EJami

June 6, 2021

Coming up on Days of our Lives, Dan Feurerriegel take over the role of EJ DiMera on-screen, and the character is making quite the timely, or untimely return to Salem now that Sami (Alison Sweeney) has been hitting the sheets with her ex-husband, Lucas (Bryan Dattilo).

Feurerriegel is stepping into the coveted role of EJ made soap-famous by James Scott, who left the series back in 2014 and never returned.

Now the question is can Sweeney and Feurerriegel strike soap gold with their re-imagined duo known as “EJami”?

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Alison Sweeney opened up about the casting, working with Dan, and the future of EJami sharing: “To be honest, I was nervous when I heard they were recasting EJ. That’s a big role to fill, I mean, James Scott was definitely a fan favorite and EJ is such a memorable role in the story and certainly in Sami’s life.”

Sweeney said of sharing scenes with Feurerriegel, “Dan has been fantastic. I’ve really enjoyed working with him. He clearly understood the importance of the task ahead.”

As for what fans of EJami may be in for, Sweeney noted: ” I hope those ‘EJami’ fans see the couple they were so connected to, but of course, in a new, different way.”

So will you be giving the new EJami a chance? Looking forward to Dan’s debut, or are you Team Lumi all the way? Share your thoughts via the comment section below. But first check out this week’s promo for DAYS.

DAYS Billy Flynn Opens Up To Maurice Benard About His Battle with Addiction on All-New ‘State of Mind’

May 30, 2021

In a terrific episode of Maurice Benard’s (Sonny Corinthos, General Hospital) State of Mind You Tube series, the actor welcomes another one of the best actors on daytime, Days of our Lives star Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera, Days of our Lives).

What made this so compelling was Billy Flynn’s ability to talk openly, frankly, and with great understanding about his battles with addiction which he notes have been alcohol, drugs, and the cycles he has found himself in within his life and how he was able to break free of them, and the work he continues to do to keep him from falling back into them.

Flynn shares how much of his adult life was greatly impacted by his childhood, and explained to Benard, how he acted out when he was younger. He also shares how his addiction caused issues for awhile with his job at Days of our Lives.

This episode is a powerful one to watch for anyone struggling with issues of addiction, dependency, suicide, having problems at work, and trying to not self-destruct, which so many of us do, once we seemingly get what we what or while we are trying to obtain it.

Bravo to Billy and Maurice for bringing this forward and to the audience.

Watch Billy’a visit on State of Mind below, followed by a bonus segment where Flynn asks Benard some ‘hard-hitting’ questions.
