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.

‘Days of our Lives’ Leo Howard Joins Cast for ‘Yellowjackets’ Fourth and Final Season
Yellowjackets announced its full cast and new additions for its upcoming fourth and final season. None other than Days of our Lives favorite Leo Howard (Tate Black) will be featured in an exciting and undisclosed role on the Paramount+ streaming series.
Howard’s casting comes after he was one of four Days of our Lives cast members pink-slipped from the Peacock soap opera back in January of 2026. Due to Days of our Lives advanced tape to streaming episodes, Leo is also still appearing on the soap.
Viewers will need to tune-in to see how Tate, Holly (Ashley Puzemis), Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Chanel’s (Raven Bowens) storylines resolve before they all exit the canvas. No word on when Howard’s last DAYS episode airs as of yet.

YELLOWJACKETS CAST ADDITIONS FOR FINAL SEASON
The official Yellowjackets Instagram account welcomed a slew of new cast members for the upcoming fourth and final season which included Howard accompanying the post were, “The wilderness welcomes these new faces to the cast of #yellowjackets season 4.”
Leo joins Molly Ringwald, Eric Stoltz, June Squibb, Dulé Hill, Devon Sawa, Ken Marino, Aaron Staton, Cynthia Stevenson, Patricia De Leon, Noah Harpster, Sam Braun, and John Emmet Tracy for Yellowjackets final season which will premiere on November 22, 2026.
For those who may not be aware, Yellowjackets, was created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, and follows a high school girls soccer team after its plane crashes in the remote northern wilderness. The series moves between the teenagers’ increasingly brutal fight for survival and the lives the survivors have attempted to rebuild nearly 25 years later, proving that what happened in the past is far from buried.
Back on August 20, Paramount+ revealed that Yellowjackets will conclude with season 4 offering up a chilling teaser with former MTV VJ, Kurt Loder seen as a newscaster announcing, “We are live with breaking news: The Wiskayok Yellowjackets have been found.” From there, the season will deal with the aftermath of the soccer team’s eventual rescue.
Michael Fairman TV will keep you posted when Howard’s first episode of Yellowjackets will stream on Paramount+.
Now let us know, glad to see Leo landing a role in Yellowjackets? Will you miss him on Days of our Lives? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
In an effort to bring back productions to the United States and offering incentives to keep them from going abroad, a bipartisan group of lawmakers in Congress has introduced proposed legislation to establish a federal film and television tax credit. It is being touted as a landmark moment for Hollywood Workers and small businesses.
The Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act, led by Rep. Laura Friedman (D-Calif.), Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-Texas), Rep. Sanchez (D-Calif.) and Rep. Brian Jack (R-Ga.) in the House of Representatives, would establish a 20 percent base tax credit on labor expenses and a potential rebate of 30% if signed into law. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) are spearheading an identical bill in the Senate.
To be eligible, productions must have a minimum spend of $1 million (per film or per TV season), and at least 75% of production days must be in the U.S. For animation, 75% of the production cost must be in the U.S.

SOAP OPERAS AND OTHER FORMS OF PROGRAMMING WILL NOT BE PART OF THE BILL
The federal incentive would be eligible to be stacked on top of individual state tax incentives, much like the current system in Canada and Australia. In the new bill, postproduction and special visual effects labor costs can be counted as eligible expenses.
However, the lawmakers proposed bill does not include the following type of shows: Daytime dramas, porn, commercials, talk shows, interview shows, game shows, award shows, news programming, live sports, corporate/industrial videos, and social media videos,
TV AND FILM PROJECTS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE HOPE TO BRING BUSINESS AND JOBS BACK TO THE U.S.
The federal film and television tax credit will be available for: films, TV shows – scripted and unscripted (4-episode minimum), TV pilots, animation, above-the-line wages (producers, writers, directors, actors, etc.) and below-the-line wages (crew), and standalone post-production and visual effects.
If passed, the legislation could offer much needed help for workers who have been rocked by recent unsteady times in show business. In all, runaway productions, strikes and a contraction in the business have dashed many job opportunities in recent years, with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics finding that jobs in the motion picture and video industries have declined by more than 100,000 since 2022.

So, what do you think of the new bill on the table in the U.S. congress? Glad to know that it could, if passed, help some types of projects? What do you think about how the soaps are excluded and deemed not eligible? Does it continue to seem to you, that no matter what, those that work within the continuous tightened budget of daytime dramas can never catch a break? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

‘Days of our Lives’ Preview: Will Dominic Marino Turn Out to Be Marlena’s Son With Stefano DiMera?
All signs point to that Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) at some juncture had Stefano DiMera’s (the late Joseph Mascolo) baby, but will it ultimately prove to be true, especially when the man in question is Dominic Marino? The last name Marino could also be the clue which its first half contains Marlena, the last half Stefano!
For several weeks, Marlena has been grappling with some vague memories and things she doesn’t seem to want to remember or can’t. We know that when Belle (Martha Madison) and Chad (Conner Floyd) made it to Italy, they found hidden in the replica chess set, just like the one Stefano “gifted” Marlena and John, that a secret compartment revealed a photo of Stefano holding a young boy with the picture dated on the back “1992.”
Now, in all-new episodes of Days of our Lives streaming next week on Peacock, the official promo ends with quite the shock for Marlena. First, Steve (Stephen Nichols) pays her a visit with an update that they were able to track down the birth certificate of Dominic Marino. As she reads the certificate, Marlena says out loud that Stefano is listed as the father, but stops dead in her tracks when she reads the mother’s name, and the promo goes to black!

Will Marlena learn she has another child out there, who seemingly was in cahoots with Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti) in Monte Carlo? Or, is this all one last evil plan from the dead from Stefano to make Marlena believe she is the biological mother of his child? Stay tuned.
Elsewhere in Salem, Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) races home to the Kiriakis mansion ready to save it, and the family business. after gambling it all in Monte Carlo. Sadly, when he walks in to the family home, it’s completely empty!
In addition, the machinations of Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) continue as she concocts another scheme when she researches, “nerve conduction studies.” Could it be she is going to fake her paralysis? Then, Mason (Brandon Butler) and Holly (Ashley Puzemis) finally have s showdown, where she asks, “Do you think I’m to blame for Sophia’s death?” It appears Mason believes she had a lot to do with it.
Now below, check out additional Days of our Lives spoilers for the week of September 21-15.
