DAYS 45: Chappell wins 5 Gold Medals! Reckell & Scott take 2 each! – Updated Photo Gallery
At Saturday’s A DAY of DAYS 45th anniversary event fan fest and press day, On-Air On-Soaps presented it’s Gold Medals in 12 categories as voted on by you the fans of DAYS and On-Air On-Soaps over the last ten days in our special DAYS 45 Voting Polls honoring the best of the last year from the Salem soap season. We took snapshot pictures with all the medalists with their official award, which you will be able to view in the photo gallery after the jump. And later this week, you will be able to see their reactions and hear their thoughts when we present our video interview presentation from A DAY of DAYS.
On to the winner’s circle! Crystal Chappell (Carly) was beyond victorious! The fantastic fan favorite whose CC fans came out in full force during the DAYS 45 Voting Polls were able to help their favorite gal, take home five Gold Medals. Chappell won for Best Overall Performance by an Actress, Favorite Salem Doctor, Favorite Flawed Heroine, Favorite Duo (w/Reckell) and even captured the Beloved Salem Favorite Female, a category she was not even nominated for.
However, CC’s fans and DAYS viewers selected her as a write-in candidate and she just barely edged out Alison Sweeney (Sami) in the category. Chappell was not originally included in the category because it was for actresses who had been on the show, off and on for decades with no less than a six year gap between their last appearance. Chappell had left DAYS in the early 90’s and had not reappeared on the show till 2009! Quite a fait accompli from the Daytime Emmy winner. Congrats to Crystal!
Peter Reckell ((Bo) took home two Gold Medals for Favorite Hero and Favorite Duo (w/Chappell). Bo and Carly edged out Danloe, Daniel and Chloe, for the duo vote from the fans in this hotly debated and contested category. James Scott (EJ) also walked away from the 45th event with Gold as well. Scott was the overwhelming choice for Best Overall Performance by an Actor and Favorite Baddie.
Shawn Christian (Daniel) was voted Favorite Hottie, Arianne Zuker (Nicole) was voted Favorite Vixen, John Aniston (Victor) was your Favorite Veteran Performer in a close vote where he just edged out his current on-screen lady love and co-star, Suzanne Rogers! And in perhaps the most surprised reaction of the day, newbie, Chandler Massey (Will) was your pick for Young Male Star.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Marlena Becomes Possessed … Again!
On Tuesday’s episode of Days of our Lives, the devil had his way with his favorite person, Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall)! In story, leave it to Marlena to save Doug (Bill Hayes) by giving herself up to Satan!
As Doug revealed himself to be Satan while in a therapy session with Marlena in her office, a shook Marlena tries to comprehend what is happening! When the devil says if Marlena won’t accept him in, she will punish Doug, he does just that.

Poor Doug is left writhing in pain and on the floor, crying out for help! When we come back to the scene Marlena is not exactly right near his body, but sort of overlooking what is happening. Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) rushes into Marlena’s office to find Doug as Marlena stares blankly. Eventually, she calls for help.
After Doug is put in a hospital room and is monitored, Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) and Tripp (Lucas Adams) can’t find anything wrong with him. Meanwhile, Julie finds Marlena at the nurses station and asks what happened with Doug during their therapy session. Marlena flashes back to what led to Doug writing on the floor, and clearly something is way off with Marlena, because she has now become possessed.
Later, Julie sits by Doug’s hospital bed as he opens his eyes, as he tells his beloved wife, “He left me and went in to her.” A confused Julie is left to ponder what on earth Doug could be talking about.
When Marlena comes home to John (Drake Hogestyn) – who is already concerned with Johnny (Carson Boatman) being set on making a movie of Sami’s life story which includes points on Marlena’s original possession – she tells him Doug collapsed in her office. When the two hug, Marlena slowly opens her eyes revealing that they are glowing yellow. Yup! We are off to the races. Marlena is now once again possessed.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Deidre Hall and Bill Hayes? Are you enjoying the revisiting of the infamous ‘possession’ storyline thus far? Comment below.

Ron Carlivati Talks on the Creation, Scenes & Cast of ‘Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem’
Last week viewers saw all five episodes of the limited-series Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem drop on Peacock. It was the first foray for the long-running NBC daytime drama series onto a streaming platform with an original self-contained story, in a move that is forward-thinking, and another avenue for soaps to be seen on and to keep the genre remaining relevant in the pop culture of today.
The head writer of Days of our Lives’ Ron Carlivati was also in charge of the overall story and direction and development of the creative of the limited-series, and following the initial streaming of all five episodes talked with Michael Fairman for in-depth look at the scenes, the moments and the casting of “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem”, exclusively on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel.
Photo: JPI
During the conversation, Carlivati explained the impetus for bringing back Lisa Rinna to her signature role as Billie Reed, how the writing team created the parody of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills infamous “Amsterdam'” scene which featured Rinna and Eileen Davidson (Kristen/Sister Mary Moira) who also returned for the DAYS limited-series, and why they felt it was important to bring Davidson back to the roles she originated for the streamer.

In addition, Ron shares details of what went into the decision to recast the role of Sonny Kiriakis for the series with Zach Tinker, after Freddie Smith did not return for it, the casting of Peter Porte in his dual role as ISA agent Kyle Graham and bad guy Dimitri Von Leuschner, how the hilarious drag show scenes came to fruition, and how the decision was made to have Deidre Hall do the voiceover in the opening title sequence, plus his thoughts on the performances of the stellar cast.

Watch the chat with Ron below, and in case you missed it, our chat with cast members: Eileen Davidson, Peter Porte, Charles Shaughnessy, Zach Tinker and Rob Scott Wilson … and if you haven’t check out “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem” its continuing to stream on Peacock.

lol Way to go @Shawnc4real… congrats on getting the Hottie award!!!! yay!!!
Aww, I love CC & Carbo. So sad they’ll end soon 🙁 And HOORAY! for James Scott…he and Ejami are my reason for watching DOOL <333 Love that picture of James too…excited to see his interview!
Congratulations to all the winners!
I second this! I loved the fact that there were so many different actors voted for in this competition. Even though I’m passionate Ejami , when it came time to vote the different categories, I frequently found it hard to choose whom to vote for. The long time veterans category was one where I felt all deserved to win.
Days has great actors!
Thanks, Michael, for giving us the chance to celebrate all the actors and not just the actor fanbases! I know you had a few tough encounters!
I heartily approve all of the winners, and even the close seconds. Well done everyone! After being wrongfully denied an Emmy at the 2010 ceremony it is great to see Crystal Chappell getting recognition well deserved, and by the people who matter the most – her fans! Her acting abilities continue to knock me out. Brava CC! It is equally gratifying to see the great Peter Reckell getting mucho love as well. The CarBo reunion has been long overdue and much appreciated, and there is no question Bo Brady is one of the all time greatest hero’s ever in daytime.… Read more »
It’s all about organization! CC has over 20,000 followers on twitter and 8,000 on FB. We love her and wanted her to get the recognition she deserves. So for some people to belittle this as spamming is just sour grapes. Her wins were legit! And while many of “you” were negative and said what’s the point? Many more of us were positive and said what’s the point? Our point was to make a statement. We know the odds are against us, but we will continue to fight and will not give up. We are up against “history”. We are up… Read more »
You’ve just said everything! Congrats to CC, it was well deserved!

Yea!!Excellent!!So happy for James..He is the reason I STILL watch,and Peter was the reason I began to watch so long ago.Love CC..she is wonderful,,Love Shawn Christian..
Congrats to the leading men James and Peter, they are phenomenal actors and they deserve these gold medals!! Ejami is the reason I tunned back into Dool and thx to Jamison who have amazing chemistry onscreen, I have never regretted watching them faithfully. I also have another favourite couple too, Bricole are my 2nd fav they are funny, exciting and fresh. Right now, I feel really excited with this show, and I have not felt this way since 2008 during the S.Dean funeral, plane crash and Ejami with NuJohn. I look foward to some romance and humour
Thanks for the polls and thanks for showing us the winners with their medals.
I love it that James won two. I’m so proud to be a fan. DOD was a great event and the renewal was the cherry on top.
James Scott is amazing.. Congrats to him! 😀
Congrats to Crystal and Peter and James you all deserve it, but I think Ali should have won best female preformer 🙁 She is really the star of DAYS right now!
Congrats to James Scott as best overall performer and best baddie – he is truly an asset to Days and my reason to watch, along with Ejami. Congrats also to Peter, Crystal, Shawn, Arianne, Chandler, and John – well-deserved.
James scott deserved that, best actor on the show period.
Michael
Thanks for the great pics of you and the stars!!! Also thanks for letting the fans know it was a close race for Alison & Crystal. Just goes to prove that DOOL has a whole bleeping load of great actors & actresses!!!!
So happy that my favorite male James won two medals. Well deserved IMO!!!! Such a nice man!!!
Congratulations to all the winners!!!! I hope to see all of you on my tv screen in my favorite soap opera for 45 more years!!!!!
GO GO GO EJAMI!!!!!!!
Arianne was so cute in her DOD interview talking about her medal, I didn’t realize where she got it until now. James was definately deserving of best overall performance, love him. And way to go CC, loved that she won by write in, lol. Thanks for doing this Michael, I’m looking forward to seeing their reactions.
Hello dear friends I’m writing from Iran and I watch Days of our lives we love it a lot but from the time that Sami and EJ didn’t marry we don’t like to watch it enymore .Please think about our feelings.
