Days Of Our Lives
Arianne Zucker Assures Days of our Lives Fans: “Know That We Are All Supporting Each Other. Cast and Crew! It Takes a Village.”
The last 48 hours have given fans of Days of our Lives a glimpse into the recent, and not so recent, alleged behind the scenes climate at the beloved soap opera.
When Deadline first reported that a nine-week investigation had begun back in March over misconduct allegations for the series co-executive producer, and director, Albert Alarr, it shared that through their multiple sources that the cast and crew had been in ‘shock, disbelief, disappointment and anger’ following the investigations outcome.
The upshot, according to Deadline’s sources, was that Alarr received a written warning and was asked to undergo training, but was allowed to continue in his positions as co-executive producer and director.
Meanwhile Corday Productions, which owns the soap opera, issued a statement that shared that they have, “taken a series of actions designed to ensure a safe and respectful work environment.”
On Thursday, actress Arianne Zucker (Nicole Walker), who has been with the show since 1998 (with a two-year break from 2006-2008), took to her social media with a special shout-out and ‘thank you’ to Days of our Lives fans for their outpouring of support and understanding for every one at the show during these turbulent times.
Arianne expressed: “Hello Wonderful Days Fans and supporters! In light of the recent information, trust in knowing that your love and messages mean everything. Also know that we are all supporting each other. Cast and crew! It takes a village. Just hang tight…”
Days of our Lives continues to stream on Peacock with new episodes daily.
So, what do you think about the sentiments shared by Arianne? Comment below.

It’s sounding like there could be a breakthrough in some actual significant change. I am glad that everyone is supporting each other at Days. But I do hope that Alarr is properly dealt with.
You are a sicko
Yeah…
God made Eve from Adam’s rib. And that means Eve was technically transgender. So.. not to deadname her or anything, but Eve kinda was “Steve” if you want to put it that way.
And you know I was there to see all of this. Rockin’ my snake suit.
Yes, Eve definitely kinda was “Steve” as was illustrated to Patricia vietor above. You say perhaps more than you intended to say, a lot more.
Actually, Pat, you need to get a clue that LGBTQ+ people are everywhere in society – especially on TV – and we’re not going anywhere. So enjoy watching the news and living such a sad, homophobic life.
I have watched this show since I was 5 years old with my Mom and Grandma. I recently turned 50. I am open minded. Sure there have been lots of things over the years that I didn’t like. However, it is a TV show and if you don’t like seeing gay people, then don’t watch it or remember that it’s 2023 and lots of things have changed over the years. Next you will be complaining about the color of people that aren’t white. Seriously, if you stopped watching the show, why are still complaining on these forums? There is so much more important things that you could be doing, such as volunteering at a food pantry or just helping the people in your community, etc.
I’m sorry but you are so far off the mark it’s ridiculous. Why are you coming off saying the viewers have problems with gay and people of color? If that were true, viewers would have left when Will came out. Instead, Will and Sonny were embraced. I was watching when Val and David began dating. That was in the 70’s btw. Should I have stopped watching then? Because the Grants were black?
This current off screen situation has nothing to do with what you lectured us about.
Oh gawd she quotes Hillary Clinton
Could have been worse… she could have quoted the orange guy, considering she was actually present at the scene of one of his most famous quotes. The one about grabbing women by …. err… certain body parts.
Right. Poor Ari went through hell when that video was released. She didn’t deserve that at all.
Nowhere does Ari say she’s “quoting” Hillary Clinton. She’s not the only woman to have ever said that phrase.
In the original Bible story Adam and Eve do what Adam and Steve could do if Adam and Steve were in the Garden of Eden instead of Adam and Eve. So what gets done and what forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil gets eaten instead of the allowed fruit from the tree of life? Adam and Eve disobey the commandment–their first commandment–to “be fruitful and multiply [in the Garden]” before donning the infamous telltale fig leaf aprons after they become one flesh incorrectly by eating allegorical forbidden pleasure fruit from the allegorical wrong tree in the allegorical Garden’s center. Some would say they make a joke out of their marriage and God responds accordingly in the story.
