I have to say, I have never really gotten into Days, but ever since the cancellation of OLTL, I have been tuning in. I really enjoy watching Chandler & Deidra on screen….and have been finding myself enjoying the rest of the cast. It can never replace my OLTL, but I must say I am happy to have an interesting show to tune into at the 1 ‘o clock hour….Oh, and I do agree, Chandler should definitely receive an Emmy nod for his work on the show….He has done a spectacular job with this storyline.

Great interview, Michael, as always. Chandler and Diedra were wonderful. Days has been very smart with this coming out story and fans are picking up on it. It is hard to deliver this story with finesse and grace and Days is doing that so far. Chandler and Diedra are doing a great job with Diedra doing her job as a psychatrist helping Chandler to cope with his identity as a gay man.Keep up the good work everyone. These stories have to be told with dignity.

DAYS Olympic-Style Promo to Tide You Over Until It Returns

July 24, 2021

DAYS fans know from past Olympics, that when the games begin, the long-running NBC soap opera which gets a two-week preemption leaves its viewers with one hell of cliffhanger and this time they left viewers with two.

First, EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) now knows that Sami (Alison Sweeney) cheated on him with Lucas (Bryan Dattil0) and apparently goes to confront her, but in true EJ fashion he does not let on that anything remiss. Meanwhile, Ben (Rob Scott Wilson) has “kidnapped” Ciara (Victoria Konefal) just before she was to walk down the aisle and marry Theo (Cameron Johnson). Cin fans were rejoicing here!

So, while the games of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (which are not taking place in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic) are taking place, NBC delivered their own Days of our Lives promo Olympic-style to hold viewers over till we return to Salem.

Take a look at the promo below.

Now, let us know, which story are you most looking forward to most when Days is back on the air? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Nearly 24 hours, after beloved TV star Marla Gibbs, almost passed out during her induction ceremony to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, comes more news. Now, Gibbs is set to appear on NBC’s Days of our Lives.

According to SOD, Gibbs will play the mother to Jackée Harry’s, Paulina. Look for her first appearance in the role of Olivia Price on August 17th.

The former star of The Jeffersons, now 90-years-old, was giving her speech in Hollywood yesterday when suddenly she stopped and began to appear to faint. Gibbs’ son helped get her into as chair and some water, so she could recover.

The hot temperatures were to blame for Gibbs’ moment, but it all ended up ok. Her daughter, Angela, told the crowd Marla needed a moment and would continue.

Later after she resumed her speech, Marla told ABC’s George Pennacchio on the Walk of Fame honor: “I never thought it would happen, but here it is. I just got overwhelmed for a minute. I haven’t been excited until this moment!”
