Chrishell Hartley Back To DAYS!
Chrishell Hartley is making a return to Days of our Lives as Jordan Ridgeway,
Hartley last appeared on the NBC daytime drama series from 2013-2015 .
According to Soap Opera Digest, Chrishell is already back taping at DAYS and will first air in early 2019.
Chrishell told SOD: “They wrote this really fun story for me which I am so excited about.” She went on to add: “It’s definitely not what we did last time…. The audience will be surprised.”
In real life, the actress is married to This Is Us star, Justin Hartley.
So, how do you think Ron Carlivati (head writer) and DAYS will bring Jordan back on to the canvas?
Share your theories in the comment section below, and remember, Jordan is the sister to Ben Weston (Rob Scott Wilson).
I’m glad Jordan is coming back. Perhaps she will help Ben get re-established in life. Whatever the reason, it will be good to see Chrishell Hartley again.
Really????? Oh, WOW!! What a gift!!
She will be Ben’s guardian angel. If my memory serves me right, it was after she left that Ben started manifesting his depraved behavior.
I know I am not supposed to feel sorry for Ben, but, he exhibits such a pitiful picture at the moment….I can’t help but feel sorry for him. I was so taken with todays’s scene where he was forced to leave Ciera’s …..I almost voiced, ” You can come stay at my place”…HaHa!!
Perhaps, Jordan has the key to unlock the mystery as to why Ben went from a good guy to a rabid murderer.
Please, not a brain tumor….maybe all psychological due to his father’s influence? Brainwashed?
So glad to see Chrishell’s beautiful face….and, her outstanding performance, playing any character….loved her since AMC, as Amanda Dillon.
I so forgot about her…she probably will be involved with JJ..
Her statement makes it sounds like Jordan’s going to have a darker side this go around. She’s probably also going to help redeem Ben too. I’ll bet it’s short term return as most are lately on Days.
I’m sure she will be used as part of ReRon’s agenda to turn Ben into Frodd 2.0. Jordan will probably tell him that Redneck Clyde wasn’t actually his father. And that he was fathered by Don Craig shortly after he somehow got lost walking to the mailbox and disappeared sometime in the early 1980s.
Lol!! Good post! I wonder if DAYS will ever resolve what happened to Don Craig or Neil Curtis. Both just…disappeared! Really shabby treatment for two commanding leading men of their day!!
Great news. Quite bizarre as was just thinking she should return so Ben could have someone in his court. I always wondered what she would have thought of what Ben did after she left, as he was always a good brother to her.
Ditto. I was just thinking this, while watching Ben mope about how he had “no one” who cares about him.
I’m fast-forwarding through the current episodes, as it’s really ho-hum lately.
I’d be okay with Hope exhibiting discomforted distortions over Rafe’s wandering eye for Jordan, to accompany her conniptions over Ciara salivating for Ben.
It would be great if they did something cool and high-tech with Steve’s new bionic eye, perhaps helping out his detective agency. But they won’t.
They never addressed why they didn’t replace Steve’s empty patch area with the bionic eye, or why they didn’t give him TWO bionic eyes. Either would seem a more logical course.
They did give Steve Patch Johnson an extra eye back in the late 80s, but I think it was not a popular decision as it changed his character, so he lost that eye again.
I wondered about the two bionic eyes thing myself. Only thing I could think of is that because it had been decades since that eye had been removed, there was no longer a live optic nerve there to attach it too. As opposed to his current eye, which was still biologically intact, though non-functional. They would have had to create a fake optic nerve and wire it completely into his brain, which is probably a bit too sci-fi for a procedure that was supposed to appear medically credible.
At least they didn’t go with the Geordie LaForge spray-painted banana comb thing!
Stop!!!!! You guys are killing me….bionic eyes? Stevie go….an extra eye? I am dying laughing here!!
Someone went to the mailbox and never came back?? ( I know—figure of speech?) …..still unbearably hilarious…
I have to ask my Gran about Neil Curtis? Don Craig?
You guys should do a comedy act together!!
So good to have her back.could you please bring that gorgeous husband with you.Yes I am a huge Justin Hartley fan.My best friend loves him to.I do wonder what they have in store for her.I had a feeling she was coming back because of the way they kept on talking about her all of the time.

George Cheeks, CBS President & CEO, on Timeline to Launch New Daytime Drama, ‘The Gates’: “We’re So Focused on Getting it Right”
March 2024 will be remembered in the TV and soap world when the news broke that CBS is prepping a brand new daytime drama. Many had thought a major network would never bring a new daytime soap into the world, given that the last time it was attempted was 25 years ago when the now defunct Passions bowed on NBC.
However, The Gates is definitely in development and moving forward with some major players associated with it including: Michele Val Jean as The Gates writer, showrunner and one of its executive producers, and Sheila Ducksworth from NAACP Venture
Now, for the first time since its announcement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer for news and sports at Paramount+, spoke on the project that will feature a Black family as its central focus who live in a wealthy gated community.
Speaking with Vulture, and when asked if The Gates is really something that truly has a chance of getting on the air, Cheeks clarified, “It’s super real. And just to give you a little bit of the backstory, when we hired Sheila Ducksworth to run the NAACP Venture, she and I had multiple meetings talking about what different genres she was going to lean into, and we talked a lot about daytime.”
Cheeks added, “One of the things that the data made very clear to both of us is that daytime soap operas over index with Black women, and yet when you look at soap operas, it’s usually sort of a white-led family with supporting characters that reflect more of our society. So we just thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to flip that and make the core anchor family a Black family, and then make the other characters reflect more the broader scope of society?”
The CEO gave props to Michele Val Jean, and how Ducksworth came to the table with the former B&B and GH writer. “She found this great writer, Michele Val Jean, who’s been in the soap opera space for 30 years. She came up with a pitch, and we loved it,” shares Cheeks. “We brought Procter & Gamble into it as well, because if there were going to be (product) integrations, we could do it more holistically and organically. All of that is to say, we did a lot of work on the front end to put this together. So while yes, it’s development, it’s accelerated development.”
When prodded on the timeline of when The Gates could come to full fruition, Gates related, “The actual timeline and when we’re going to do it is still uncertain, because we want to get this right. I mean, there hasn’t been a new soap opera launch since I can’t even begin to tell you when. But we have great success with Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless, and so we think we’re the right folks to be launching a new soap. I wish I could tell you more about exact timing, but we’re so focused on getting it right, and that will dictate when we’re ready to launch it.”
The CBS exec also shared that whether The Gates will wind up an hour soap or half-hour is not yet determined, but that it is being developed as an hour show.
So, after reading what George Cheeks, the CBS President & CEO had to say about ‘The Gates’, are you even more excited for what looks to the first new network soap in 25 years? Comment below.

51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Announce Broadcast Date on CBS
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) revealed on Tuesday, that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Friday night, June 7th (8 – 10 PM, ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+*.
This year will mark the 18th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmy Awards, which is more than any other network.
The 2024 Daytime Emmys will take place at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles. Back in December of 2023, the delayed 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were also held at that venue. The June 7th date for the upcoming ceremony will be the first time in several years that the event is scheduled a few weeks earlier than normal; excluding last year’s revised date to the actors and writers strikes.
Lifetime Achievement honoree, nominations, host, and additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.
In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS noted, “We eagerly anticipate our return in June as we once again partner with CBS to recognize the exceptional and talented individuals who make daytime television great. We’re thrilled to kick off our second half-century of the Daytime Emmys.”
The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will once again be produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI), which produced Daytime Emmy Award ceremonies on The CW in 2009 and on CBS in 2010, 2011, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer from ATI.
So, glad to know that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards honoring performance and shows in the 2023 calendar year, will be held in early June this year, and once again broadcast on CBS? Comment below.
