As we have been reporting NBC and Days of our Lives are letting viewers know that the September 26th airshow will be a significant one in Salem history. Not only because it marks the return of soap legends, Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn, or, that new head writers Marlene McPherson and Darrell Ray Thomas scripts kick into high gear, but also because NBC is now touting the big yet-to-be uncovered big event as something huge stating, “The occasion promises to be a historical one, filled with reunions, surprises, mystery, and tragedy. Incredible… even by daytime drama standards.”
Below is the official NBC Press Release heralding the return of Salem’s John and Marlena and more!
“DAYS OF OUR LIVES, NBC’s longest-running scripted television series, embarks on a new era of romance by bringing back two of its most beloved characters, Deidre Hall (“Marlena Evans”) and Drake Hogestyn (“John Black”). Deidre has starred as the adored Dr. Marlena Evans on the show for 35 of its 45 years and is recognized as one of the biggest icons of daytime television, while Drake has appeared alongside her for 25 years as half of one of the biggest super-couples in soap opera history. Together the two have had four weddings, raised a family together, and survived paralysis, amnesia, false deaths, and mind-control, all while representing the idea that true love and family conquers all.

Executive Producer Ken Corday has promised to refocus efforts on romance and core family values and initiated its transformation with the appointment of a new head writing team, Marlene McPherson and Darrell Ray Thomas, and a new executive producing team, Greg Meng and Noel Maxam. The new direction includes telling more contemporary stories based on the solid foundation of the DAYS history of family, romance, and drama. Ken Corday commented on the renaissance of the show, “We are thrilled that Deidre and Drake are rejoining the show. I know their return will excite loyal fans and intrigue new viewers. We are gearing up for some amazing cast surprises and guest stars visiting Salem in the fall, launching a grand event airing on September 26th.
Hall and Hogestyn have remained a part of the “Days family” by participating in the ten-city book tour for “Days of our Lives 45 Years A Celebration in Photos,” a photo book authored by Meng that celebrates the show’s historic 45 years on television. “At every stop on the book tour, families of fans told us how much Marlena and John meant to them,” commented Greg Meng.”

‘Days of Our Lives’ Favorites Making Returns: Alison Sweeney, Christie Clark, Chandler Massey and Bryan Dattilo
Great news for Days of Our Lives fans, now that Ryan Quan is co-head writer of the long-running soap opera. Coming in June of 2027 (since DAYS tapes ten or so months ahead), you can look forward to the returns of Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady), Christie Clark (Carrie Brady), Chandler Massey (Will Horton) and Bryan Dattilo (Lucas Horton).
The foursome is back on set and began last week to tape their upcoming story arc, according to TV Insider. As to what exactly is going on that brings sister Sami and Carrie’s history back up, as well as Will and Lucas’ is only being teased at this time, but suffice to say, it should be intriguing.
Alison Sweeney explained on being back on set, “It was a lot of dialogue and emotion, but with all the best actors to work opposite, we fell into it as if no time had passed. It was really wonderful.”

As to working with the longstanding rivalry of Sami and Carrie, Alison added on working with Clark, “So, it really does feel like we’re sisters. It’s so fun, and she’s such a good actor that she makes everything so natural that you can really disappear into those stories.”
JUST LIKE OLD TIMES
It also seems like the deep-history, which often had the sister fighting for the love of Austin Reed, but that might not figure into the equation this time, or will it?
Alison indicated what she thought of the scripts she was given. “I felt like when I read it, it was a page-turner. I was very excited. There’s a lot of history here, and a lot of things that haven’t been said. So, it’s really not like, ‘Oh, rehashing stuff.’ And now having played some of the scenes, I’m psyched.” Sweeney added, as for the men, working again with her on-screen son, Chandler Massey and Will’s on-screen father Bryan Dattilo, was also extra special.
The last time DAYS viewers saw Sami on the canvas was back in November of 2025, when she revealed she has gotten engaged to never-before-seen Dante Vitali. As for Clark, she last visited Salem for the episodes surrounding John Black’s memorial in June of 2025.
Chandler Massey’s Will Horton last made a visit to Salem in November of 2025 when he attended the gala for the Tom Horton Free Clinic as part of the soap opera’s 60th anniversary celebration. Bryan Dattilo was last seen in December of 2025. So, by the time we see all four again it will be close to two years since they were on new episodes of the series. Time to look forward to June of 2027.
So, excited by the news of Alison, Christie, Chandler and Lucas making a return to Days of Our Lives? What do you think the story will be involving, Sami, Carrie, Lucas and Will? Let us know via the comment section.

‘Days of Our Lives’ Alum Al Calderon Talks On His Daytime Emmy-Nominated Scenes as Javi Hernandez (Exclusive)
Last Tuesday, Al Calderon scored the first Emmy nomination of his career for his role as Javi Hernandez on Days of Our Lives.
Calderon name was announced as one of the performers competing for gold in the Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series category at the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards on October 30.
This week, Calderon chatted live on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel for a one-on-one conversation where he discussed: his nominated scenes and time on the Peacock streaming soap opera, his decision to leave DAYS, his role of Nico Silva on Brilliant Minds and its sad cancellation, plus his passing the torch of Javi to Jacob Martinez, who took over the role on-screen on the June 30, 2026 episode of Days of Our Lives.

JAVI REVEALS TO LEO THAT HE HAD A DAUGHTER WHO DIED
Al revealed the scenes that comprise his now Emmy-nominated reel have at its epicenter the heartbreaking moments from the September 12, 2025 episode. In it, Javi shares for the first time to Leo (Greg Rikaart) that he had a daughter named Solana, with a woman he was seeing named Sylvia. One fateful day, Sylvia left their child in a car when she went to work and the little girl died. Javi had blamed himself for not being the parent to take his daughter to school that day since he was hungover the night before, therefore it opened up the opportunity for something to happen to the his child, and it did.
The multi-talented actor/singer explained his reel: “It was the scene where he is talking about his daughter to Leo. I also included the scene where Javi goes to talk to Melinda (Tina Huang) and to see if it would be a viable option to adopt, because I wanted to introduce the subtlety and nuance of why Javi kind of has this whole connection to Tesoro, in a way.”
It is true that Al can bring the tears and make us cry right along with him during his run as Javi. To that, Calderon added, “I’ve read the comments that I’m a little bit of a crybaby, so I didn’t want the entire reel to be of me crying, but I wanted it to show a little bit of an emotional range of the restraint that Javi was feeling so I included that scene
In addition Calderon shared, “I also included a really beautiful scene with Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez, DAYS) where I’m looking at photos of Tesoro, and of course, Javi is crying. I just wanted to show the relationship between Javi and his family as well, and as I mentioned the reveal of the child that he lost.”

ALUMS AL CALDERON AND ALICE HALSEY REPRESENT DAYS OF OUR LIVES IN EMERGING TALENT CATEGORY
In a twist of fate, Calderon is also nominated in the Emerging Talent category with Alice Halsey who played Rachel Black. Halsey is currently starring in the reboot of Little House on the Prairie in the lead role of Laura Ingalls on Netflix.
As to his hope on Emmy night, Al expressed, “Of course, I want to win, but Alice Halsey is going to give me a run for the money. And if’s not me (who wins the award), it better be her!”
You can check out the full interview with Al below.
Now let us know, do you remember Al’s emotional scenes when he explained to Leo he had a daughter who died, which made it all the more heartbreaking to not end up with permanent custody of Tesoro? What do you think of Al’s chances to win the gold based on his Emmy scene selection? Do you miss him as Javi? Weigh-in via the comment section.

Emily O’Brien Talks On Her Y&R Past as Jana Hawkes and Working with Peter Porte on ‘Days of Our Lives’
On the latest edition of Soapy Hosted by Rebecca Budig and Greg Rikaart which dropped on Tuesday, July 21, Emily O’Brien is the featured guest. As soap fans know, Emily has worked with Rikaart both in her first soap role on The Young and the Restless as Jana Hawkes and now on Days of Our Lives in her current role of Gwen Rizczech.
While Emily continues on DAYS, she has very impressive list of credits in the other part of her career as a voice-over actress and one in motion-capture in some of the most popular video games in the world.
O’Brien was first seen on The Young and the Restless back in 2006. She recalled her landing the role which eventually paired her for her five year run with Greg Rikaart.

BEING CAST ON THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS
“The role was just a few days and she wasn’t even supposed to be English,” Emily recalled. “The role was originally called Jade. Karen Rae, the casting director of The Young and the Restless at the time said to me “Oh, you’re from England. Try it with the dialect.” I put it on and she said, ‘I’m going to bring you back at like 3 for s callback.’ So then they changed the role to Jana and they said she’s going to be a Brit. I was only supposed to be on for like five episodes and it turned into 5 years.”
In explaining why she loved crazy Jana, Emily shared, “Jana was sort of like the misanthrope. She was just was the odd one out and I loved it. I felt so comfortable playing that because she was just eclectic and weird and she loved playing with Ouija boards and she rode a motorbike. There was just so much color to bring to her. It was just such a great match to play with Greg (Kevin), and Christian LeBlanc (Michael) and Tracey Bregman (Lauren).

GWEN, DIMITRI AND LEO ON DAYS OF OUR LIVES
On Days of Our Lives, the Leo, Gwen, Dimitri dynamic is quite unique and been through many schemes and entanglements. Often Emily finds herself in repartee with her ex-lover, Dimitri, who turned out to be gay and then had a thing for her bestie, Leo (Greg Rikaart)!
During the conversation, Greg and Emily sang, Peter Porte’s praised with O’Brien expressing, “Peter is just ready to play. He comes on set prepared. I’ve never seen him with his script. From blocking and rehearsals, he doesn’t have it. He’s prepared. He’s a physical actor and he always trying to come up with something. I think he let me slap him. He let me kiss him. He let me throw a cheeseburger in his lap. He’s ready for anything for anything.”
You can catch the full episode of ‘Soapy; featuring Emily O’Brien below where the actress also talks about replacing Jen Lilley as Theresa Donovan after being let go as Gwen; and being paired again with Greg Rikaart on the Peacock streaming soap opera this time as best friends and more.
So, were you a big Jana Hawkes and Kevin Fisher fan on Y&R? Did you like them as a couple? Do you like the dynamic between Emily and Peter Porte and Greg Rikaart on DAYS? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

Not interested in what days will be doing after 9/22. Its bye bye for me and many Crystal Chappell’s fans. Adios!
That’s fine, more for me.
Me too! DAYS need REAL fans who show REAL support, not fair-weather ones. I can’t wait for this nu-old-DAYS. I want this whole revamp to succeed and for DAYS to be on top like it should be.
Crystal’s fans are REAL fans. Her fans have followed her from DAYS to OLTL to Guiding Light back to DAYS and have sat through her absolutely horrid storylines including “don’t tell Daniel” and have paid money to see Venice as well as buying Venice gear to support it. Many of her fans also purchased the DAYS book just to go see her at a book signing. She has supported DAYS by going to countless fan events and putting some of the actors in her webseries. In the two years Crystal has been on, DAYS has done nothing to pull me in as a viewer. Instead, the show has consistently disrespected one of my favorite actresses for the last two years with some of the show’s worst possible writing. I’ve been begging for DAYS to pair her with someone worthy of her talents, like Jennifer or Nicole or EJ. I grew up on DAYS during Carly’s first stay, so DAYS has a special place in my heart and I hope to see some of the actors/actresses on Venice or The Grove, but Crystal, not DAYS, has earned my fan loyalty, so if she isn’t on the show, I’m not watching it.
Then don’t let the door hit you where the Good Lord Split ya! Crystal Chappell is not the saving grace of Days. She is also not the ONLY character on the canvas, nor even an important one to many of the fans. I feel like she was brought on, expected to bring in droves of ratings and failed. You can blame the writing, sure it sucked. I however don’t care for her style of acting and after the twitter debacle, the actress herself.
And Deidre Hall & Drake Hogestyn are? If my memory serves me correctly it wasnt that long ago they were given the heave ho because the ratings were on such a huge slide. So how are they expected to rise the ratings now? And yes Crystal Chappell was brought on to raise ratings and she did. Carly paired with Bo dislodged Bo and Hope as the favourite couple. That’s a fact. If it wasnt for atrocious writing and Corday fear of investing in something interesting, the ratings would have stayed up. The fact of the matter of Crystal Chappell can act the socks off anyone on Days. That’s been proven over the past week. There has been not a single thing to interest the viewers Crystal Chappell brought back to Days to stick around after the 22nd September which is unfortunate. If watching Peter Reckell bored to tears doing the same thing he has done for 25 yrs, more power to you. Reality is he came to life the day Crystal Chappell walked through the door. That passion has since left the building. So enjoy your “nu-Days”. For me its noting but the same rubbish that made me turn it off 15yrs ago.
Days is notorious for their casting decisions. I feel that the biggest mistake they ever made was hiring CC the second time around! I have never cared for her acting on either Days or GL. Sorry, I feel that she is not the best actress ever! I would rather watch paint dry than watch her tremble and snot all over my screen. I have watched Deidre and KA and felt chills from their acting. With CC I just want to fast forward!
It is YOUR opinion that fans won’t tune in after CC leaves. I, along with many other fans will be GLAD for the Carly free show. I want them to get back to the heart of Days and put the Higley chapter behind us true fans. So leave, go pay to watch CC in her web shows and leave Days to the lifetime fans. We don’t need the fairweather fans anymore! Me I will revel in the nu-days. I do find it funny that you along with the rest of us fans have no idea what will be going on, but since your fave got the heave ho you are not even giving it a chance. Had I done that when MY faves were off the air, along with all the other Jarlena fans, S&K fans, Shane and Kim fans, Lumi fans, Shelle fans, etc, your CC wouldn’t have had a show to come back to. Its the true fans that keep a show going. Just look at AMC and OLTL. They will be continuing on thanks to the TRUE fans.
I’m excited… but I hope this “big event” is not another Bo & Hope wedding/marriage vow renewal. Love them as a couple but let’s NOT watch them do it again. I know Steve is at Y&R now but sure could use a Mary Beth Evans return/storyline soon!
It’s Bye Bye for me as soon as Nadia Bjorlin is gone.Same for all her huge fanbase.Because she does have one of the biggets fanbase on daytime:Chloe,Broe,Phloe,Danloe,Luloe,Carloe,Quinloe …Huge mistake lettibg go of Nadia Bjorlin,even if it’s just temporary.Huge mistake,.
Im so HAPPY John Marlena Jack Carrie and Austin are coming HOME,
now please bring Bryan Dattilo/Lucas Horton back HOME to stay till the end of Days.
I watched it again when they brought back Steve and Kayla, and stopped when they dropped them…the off again on again is so annoying.
Would love to see Ejami actually be given a chance because they have never had one! When James and Alison are in scenes together it is electrifying and there is undeniable chemistry. I just wish that TPTB saw this too!
They both are such phenomenal actors that it is such a waste to not use that connection that they have. I know I for one would love to see EJ and Sami work together at rebuilding a relationship in addition to standing up to both the Dimeras and Bradys, just not sure if the new writers see what I see in their potential stories. Too bad really because there are numerous angles and story lines that EJ and Sami could have if just given a chance but no one has ever had the courage to do that!
Thank you Michael for your articles, interviews and posts! They are greatly appreciated!
I agree 100%. The reason I watch DAYS is because of EJAMI and the last year or so, I havent been bothered to watch as that awful SAFE is pimped. I am so happy the vets are back but I still want EJAMI to be given a chance. I am sure the ratings will skyrocket if that happened.
I too love EJami! They are dynamite together, sparks fly, the heat reflects off tht television screen when they are on together! Maybe the new writers will see that and finally write them together! There are legions of us out here in tvland waiting and hoping for that to happen! They have their little kids to think of – they need their mother and father united as a family! Let’s all hope that happens!
I agree. Tired of Safe. Liked EJami although I don’t go along with Sami shooting EJ and other violence she has done towards various people. Sami used to be my fave, but with Rafe double storyline I have Sami OD.
SO, SO HAPPY about Deidre & Drake’s return!!! will be great to see Christie & Patrick together again, and am very excited about what awaits us!! personally, I see no use for the Chloe character, nothing personal against Nadia, but she, along with Lucas and a few others, haven’t much to do in Salem. In fact, Chloe no longer has any familial ties in town, so it befuddles me as to why Nadia is being brought back in the near future…?
Anyway, DOOL, you are on the right track. Good for you, listening to your fans!! 🙂
Not happy about their return…I was bored with them on their last come back. I say keep the characters we currently know and love and spice up their story lines instead of bringing back the boredome.
If Shane and Kim aren’t there, it’s not worth watching!
So what?Do you need to be part of a core family to be a core character?Chloe has a huge history on the show ,the biggest fanabse of the show and is av ery rich and complex character,there is so much to write for her,…she is needed on the show….I really hope she will be back very soon…the show will suck without her..I won’t be watching if she leaves…I’ll be gone with her.
Ummm, Imane, no disrespect, but I SINCERELY doubt she has the biggest fan base of the show. Again, not disrespecting her or her fans, as this is my own opinion. Nadia is beautiful yes, but a multifaceted actress she is not. If fans leave because of her departure, then so be it. Hundreds of fans if not thousands will be returning to witness John, Marlena, Carrie, Austin and Jack to return to the new/old days.
As for Chloe, she isn’t an essential character to me. She is not interesting and plays the victim way too much for my taste.
She is a multifaceted actres and she does ahve the biggets fanbase ion this show:Cloe,Phloe,Broe,Danloe,Luloe,carloe,Quinnloe,..fans…no other character on this show ahs such huge fanabse.No doubt John,Marlena,Carrie,Austin,and jack have big fanbases.
She isn’t an essential and interesting character to you but doesn’t mean she isn’t.And no she doesn’t “play” the victim.She is the victim since the hysterical pregnancy.
Jiohn,Marlena,Carrie,Austin idn;’t ahve to suffer DH’S desrtruction for tehir character like Chloe did and now Jack is.So yes maybe their fans will tune in at the begining,but if the writing sucks ,they will tune out.They can bring back whoever they want,if the writing sucks,there is nothing that would save this show.They lured Nadia back into the shwo in 2007.She brought a lot to the rating until DH took over and totally detroyed Chloe and ignored her history.Most of Chloe’s fans aren’t watching this crap anymore and want the real Chloe back.You like it or not she has the biggest if not one of the giggest fanbases on this how.Itw a sthat fanbase,teh Broe/Phloe triangle along witn Shelle,that saved the show in 1999
Again, Imane, No disrespect, but Broe, Phloe, shelle, etc. did not alone save DAYS in 1999. It is a CAST of Actors/Actresses that worked together to save Days.
I am sorry, but Chloe was the victim in high school of pranks, mean girls, etc. Then she was mistreated by Phillip, leading to the faux rape charges. Then she was the ONS queen, but its always someone elses fault. Never, I just can’t keep my legs closed!
I also feel that you WAY overstated the Nadia has the BIGGEST fan base in daytime thing! I have never seen the posts, pleadings, FB posts, etc. for her that I have seen for Bope, Jarlena, Jack/Jen, etc. I am not saying she doesn’t have fans, just that you are overestimating her fan base size!
I also take offense to anyone saying that one actor/actress saved the show from anything! I can honestly tell you, in my large group of soap friends, we each have our favorites. But none of us would think to say, oh, Hope saved Days! or Jennifer saved Days. Because its a combo of things that save them!
No disrespect Angela White but youve actually contradicted yourself. You stated previously that you believed Crystal Chappell was brought onto the show to raise ratings and failed to do so. But now your say the show is bigger than one actor/actress – youre stating the shows highs and lows are due to the entire cast. So which is it?
I do not believe I contradicted myself. I DO believe that CC was brought in to “save the show and bring in ratings” However, due to the HORRIBLE storyline and the fact that they shoved her down our throats in too many awful storylines, she flopped. I also feel that it wasn’t ONLY her fault, as the writing was AWFUL for every character and many LONG TIME fans would never support the destruction of a legacy couple such as Bo and Hope for the pimping of another character.
The only reason I continued to watch during the CC times was for the other characters who I still had a vested interest in. So yes, I feel that CC was not the savior of Days. However, if we had gone off the air, I would have blamed the Head writer, the management and many others, before I blamed the actor! And as much as I am a Hope fan, I will never say that giving her back the leading lady role she was born to play saved Days either. So yes, I think CC was brought on for ratings, no it obviously didn’t work, since ratings have been horrible! Yes, I think the entire cast makes the show and if it has highs or lows its a combination of all things. I feel that NO one actor or actress can make or break a show.
The fans don’t want Chloe gone.They want THE REAL CHLOE back.So listen to the fans please.
Again, no disrespect, but it was never CHLOE that save DOOL singlehandedly. It is a compilation of things that makes a good or bad show, not one exceedingly beautiful woman with really poor storylines. Chloe was interesting as Ghoul Girl and a teenager, however her return rendered her useless in my eyes. I will continue to disagree that Nadia has the MOST fans ever! Seeing as how Matt Ashford has websites devoted to bringing him back. Deidre Hall is in the very FABRIC of the show for well over 3 decades and those LIFETIME fans are the ones that have saved days, not one actor or actress however poorly or brilliantly written.
So I am sorry that we don’t agree that Nadia is the greatest actress in the world. She is a sweet person and I wish her nothing but luck, but I will be grateful not to watch her walk of shame after yet another disastrous one night stand!
Check again.In 1999 the show was dying.Then they brought Chloe,Philip.Shawn.Belle,Brady,Mimi….and with them brought a totaly new audience and that’s what saved the show.And that’s when we had one of the most amazing love trinagle on this show Broe/Phloe.Chloe had a huge impact on Days,that’s a fact.
You don’t like Nadia’s acting…fine ..it’s your opinipn…as far as I am concerned ,she is one fo the bests.She never overacts,all the emotions show in her eyes,body language and voice.She doesn’t overdo,like many actresses….
On thing we agree on:The writing for her sucks since her return in 2007…that’s not the real Chloe and that’s one of the main reasons the show is in trouble.Because the writers don’t have any repsect for the character’s history and past,they write them totally out of character,so the fanbases aren’t happy.You see Chloe’s fans don’t want her out of the show,they want the real Chloe back,they want a chance to see the damages caused by the writers to Chloe’ since her return fixed.
I liked Chloe better when she was a teenager. She actually had a brain, which was a refreshing change from mindless teeny-boppers like Belle and Mimi. But when they brought her back a few years ago, she was just another dumb bimbo who didn’t seem all that concerned about the fact that her husband was missing.
Welcome home, Deidre and Drake! See you September 26, 2011!
Tragedy?! I hope my faves don’t get killed.
I hope Chloe won’t get killed off…..Maybe Parker? I hope not.I wamnt Chleoa dn parker alive and back very soon
I am so excited for the season of Days next year!!! I am especially excited for awesome opportunity to greet EJ and Stefano in LA at https://www.classwish.org/days/fame. I don’t know what I would say to them? What would you?
That looks AMAZING Kev I’m totally going to enter right now!
Sounds really cool! I donated one dollar to ClassWish and I’m now one of the candidates for this contest! I hope I will be lucky enough to meet EJ and Stefano! Thanks for sharing, Kev
I just entered the contest!! Hope I win!!
I would be starstruck, I wouldnt even know what to do. Ill definitely check out classwish, I would love to meet James Scott! Thanks!
I am cautiously optimistic. I’m very happy that they’ve brought back vet and concentrating on the Hortons & the Brady’s again, it’s about time. Character-driven stories are what I’m looking forward to. But there’s a hole whre Mary Beth Evans and Stephen Nichols should be on this canvas. Again, yay for all the returns. But without Steve & Kayla, I’ll feel some emptiness. They’re an enormous part of that canvas and should be there. I know Stephen Nichols is on Y&R, so he’s got a job, I get it. But can we get a Kayla sighting or two with a mention of Steve and she doing well off in Africa or wherever? I’ll even take the Mickey Treatment if it means the integrity of this couple is respected and in tact (unless we can get him live!). But again, looking very forward to September 26th. What could this ground-breaking, history-making thing be? I admit, I’m terrified of them pulling a Bobby Ewing here …
That looks so awesome Kev!! I’m going to enter right away!!
I am excited for what’s to come in September. I know fans are upset about Nadia leaving and so am I but there is more to Days that Nadia/Chloe. I think they could have kept her and put her back with Brady or Daniel and maybe she will come back. I am just happy that we have new writers who care about the core families (Hortons/Bradys/Kiriakis/DiMeras).
Not for me.I started to watch the shwo in 1999 for Nadia,stopped watching when she left and watched again when she came back.And I will stop watching when she’s gone.Can’t stand characters who get away with the worse crimes when a good person like Chloe pays the higest price for her mistakes.And I want the real Chloe back,not DH’s evrsion.
I am sorry that your loyalty is to one actress. HOWEVER, I have watched days for over 30 years. I remember when the Salem Strangler killed Marlena’s twin Samantha. I remember Roman’s death and the Pawn turning out to be him. I remember so many more amazing weddings, deaths, resurrections, fights, loves and drama, romance and laughter than you do.
So while I feel for the fans who feel jilted by these actors/actresses departures, I am totally excited for the new staff to resurrect OUR days. The fun, fiesty, amazingly complex characters that we love to hate, cry with and over and root for. Because, unfortunately, Carly, Chloe, Vivian etc. do not excite me at all! I want the Bope love story, the Jarlena emotions, the history of the Hortons, Bradys, DiMeras and Kiriakis!
So basically you want to watch the same old same old you’ve watched for 30 years Angela? Isn’t that a bit repetitive?
Since none of us know what is going to happen, I don’t feel that saying it will be the same old same old is accurate. Do I want my well written, emotional, action packed adventures back, Hell YEAH! Do I want the cast written true to their characters history! Yes! Do I want to see fewer newbies and more favorites, YES!
Do I want to see the same triangles as before no! But I do want to see Marlena interacting with Sami and guiding her back to her formerly sometimes bad girl! I want John to knock some sense into Brady and get his head on straight. I want to see Jennifer fiesty and not weak and boring. I want Hope to have her spunk back and not let herself wallow in guilt and stupidity. I want Bo to stop acting like a goody two shoes and be the rebel again. He doesn’t have to steal bikes, but be willing to stretch the law again.
Temper the over the top stupidity with some realistic stories! Give Kate a life outside the damn mansion! Give Nicole her backbone back, that is what I want.
I am tired of the same old thing as much as the next person! But, I want to see my favorites not acting so totally out of character!
EJ and Sami did not bring the ratings up when they were EJami and Safe is not either,but LUMI sure did ,
happy the vets are back 🙂
Lumi did`nt bring in the ratings either, this is an ensemble show.
he can briong back whoever they want.But ignoring the history,teh apst of the characetrs,writing them comlelty out of character and throwing them udner the bus to propr newbies like Daniel and Melanie is what is killing the show..Chloe,Philip,Brady,Jack all are veterans and longtime fans favorites and have been thrown under the bus to prop Daniel and Melanie.Get rid of these two and bring back the real Choe,Philip,Shawn,belle,….Only good writing with the veterans and long time fans favorites can save this show.Stop proping new characters at the expense of veterans and long time fans favorites.
MJ dont email me if you dont want to be emailed back,,
LUMI were fan favorites for 15 years,then the writers that are no longer with Days broke them up and the fans were mad as hell, I am so HAPPY the vets are back 🙂
“I am so excited for the season of Days next year!!! I am especially excited for awesome opportunity to greet EJ and Stefano in LA at https://www.classwish.org/days/fame. I don’t know what I would say to them? What would you?”
Is it a sweepstake from ClassWish? I interned there last summer and I really love their ideas about combining charity with soap operas. I’d like to donate one dollar to ClassWish and have the chance to see EJ and Stefano from DOOL in person! So exciting!
What would you wear if you were meeting EJ? You might have to decide! https://www.classwish.org/days/fame.
I’m goona wear my favourite dress!

Yes my loyalty is to one actress/character because she’s the reason I started to watch in 1999 and the reason I will stop watching when she leaves.She doesn’t excit you, fine.As far as I am concerned,John,marlena,Sami,…don’t excite me,.They do nothing to me.The only chaarcters I liked beside Chloe are Bo, Hope and Nicole,Maggie,Shawn Belle,Brady..but I don’t like them enough to stick around when Chloe will be off the show.You want the show without the last blast group.The show doesn’t interest me without them especially wihtout Chloe.So as you see,each are entitled to their opinion.Chloe is a core character,just like Philip.Belle,Shaw,Brady,Nicole,…it’s not just the Dimera’s , Black’s ,Brady,Kiriakis….And the show is boring without her/them for me.That’s the point.There are different audiences,not just the old ones,the ones who want Bo/Hope,John/Marlen,/Jennifer/Jack,Steve/Kayla…these are not the only audiences of the show.
Sorry, but again, Days is the Hortons, Dimeras, Kiriakis’ to me. The last blast group only worked because they WERE Hortons and Kiriakis’s and Bradys. I have watched since the 70’s and have seen my faves come and go, some treated like crap, some because they wanted to. I will not abandon a show because 1 actress/actor is given the pink slip, ESPECIALLY, when it is IMO an unneccesary character.
See in my eyes, you are a newbie, no offense. You never say the true greatness of Jarlena, Bope, the amazing scenes with Alice and Tom. The dialogue was AMAZING, the feelings were awe inspiring. I am very hopeful that we get that again. And, again, no offense, but if Chloe, Carly, Viv, etc. were the price to pay for my Days back, I will take it. My DVR won’t be FF for much longer!
Wtong.The last blast worked thanks to Chloe,Philip.Brady,Shawn,Belle,Nicolel..not because they were Horton.Brady and kiriakis…you’re trying desperatly to dismiss Nadia/Chloe’s huge effect on the show…Now I get that tfor you Chloe is an unnecessary character.But that’s just For you.Not for her HUGE FANABSE,nor for the show,no matter how much you try to dismiss them and her huge effect on the show.
See, you are wrong. NO ONE would have watched if it was Jan/Mimi and the rest of the teens without the CORE families being represented. No one would have cared if it wasn’t BELLE BLACK, SHAWN BRADY, PHILLIP KIRIAKIS involved. That is why the teens work. The same way the teens now are Brady’s, Hortons, Kiriakis! Bringing on a random teen scene wouldn’t work with out the history!
I also NEVER said that Nadia didn’t have a large fanbase, that would be disrepectful to the fans and the actress. I took offense to YOU saying she had the biggest EVER. I am sure CC fans felt robbed too, but I didn’t see them saying she had the biggest group ever! I also never disrepected Nadia, but I don’t feel that she as powerful of an actress as LK, KA, AZ or AS. I understand that you think she is the best, but again we can disagree.

That’s your opinion but you’re dead wrong.I am the perfect example.I watched it for Chloe.Not for Philip or Brady.Then I liked them but first the one that got me hooked is Chloe
I love NB’s acting much much more than most of the actresses on the show.Actually the only ones who’s acting I love on the show are NB,AZ and CC.I hate MB ,LK and AS ‘s acting.So you’re entitled to your opinion but the fact is Chloe/Nadia had a huge impact on the show,you like it or not.No matter how much you try to dismiss it.And you’re not the only one disgusted to see their favorite acting out of characters.Chloe who is a long time fans favorite,Chloe ‘s fans are more than just disgusted as well to see what they have done to their favorite.
