DAYS John and Marlena are back in "Salem's Secrets, Scandals and Lies"!

John and Marlena are on their way back, but not to television! Yup, that’s right.  The characters played by legendary Days of our Lives stars, Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall will be among several MIA former Salemites who appear in the new novel called Salem’s Secrets, Scandals and Lies (Sourcebooks, Inc.).  The book is due out in November as part of the NBC sudser’s 45th anniversay celebration.  And here is the kicker, it is being written by the very talented former head scribe of DAYS, Sheri Anderson.  Not only will John and Marlena’s fictional life be addressed. but so will other favorites who have been on the small screen canvas including:  Belle, Shawn, Patch and Eric.

On-Air On-Soaps caught up with Anderson at  last weekend’s Daytime Emmys in Vegas, who teased she had a big announcement coming soon.  Well that she did.  And, In a new interview out with TV Guide Magazine she offered, “I love this kind of writing because it gives me total freedom with the characters. I can take them to any lavish locale in the world and I don’t have to worry about budget restrictions or actor contracts!”  In the first of three novels, Anderson will center the opener with her  new creation, teen heiress Charlotte “Charley”, who will develop an attraction to a very married Shawn.

This sounds interesting and I am seriously thinking of buying the books. Sadly for me the soap Days is not giving me the adventure and romance like we used to love so much and maybe this will suffice. I miss the kind of stories that brought Days to its glory and for whatever reason seem to be lacking today. I miss the shows that gave us hope despite all odds that things will work out and our wonderful couples will be together again and happy even if it is only for a little while. For some reason all I see on Days and other soaps is a lot of strife and not much happiness or hopefulness. Maybe this book will give is our wonderful couples back and more.

I am really looking forward to this book i was so disappointed when they let John and Marlena go also Shawn and Belle
Were is this book available tp buy Icann’t find it at chapters

Jen Lilley Signs Off at Days of our Lives: “Playing Jeanne Theresa Donovan Off and On for the last 10 Years Has Taught Me So Much About Empathy and Grace”

This week on Days of our Lives, Jen Lilley will wrap her short-term run as Theresa Donovan. Lilley came back to reprise her role to a be a part of the on-screen memorial for Victor Kiriakis, and to honor one of her her all-time favorite scene partners, the late John Aniston.

While Lilley explained in interviews with the press, that she gave the series a 3 to 4 week window of time she would be available to reprise the role, she noted the long-running soap opera wrote more episodes and story for the character; thus the part will be turned over to another actress for the next leg of Theresa’s return story.

Meanwhile, through the years, Lilley came under fire over her run on DAYS being a devout Christian, and taking on the role of the troublemaking Theresa.  She fired back in one interview, “Why should I play a role like this,’ you know? That’s been something I’ve been asked over and over again, by Christians, like,‘How can you be a Christian and play this role?’ And the truth of the matter is that from a human perspective, Theresa’s kind of a horrible person, but from a God perspective, she’s exactly who Christ came and died for.”

With her final episode streaming on Peacock on Friday, September 22nd, Lilley took to her Instagram to share her sentiments on her Salem journey over the years.

Jen shared: “Last week of me exploring this girl’s shenanigans on screen. Playing Jeanne Theresa Donovan off and on for the last 10 years has taught me so much about empathy and grace. I have enjoyed every moment of her hilarious sass and ferocity, layered with brokenness. To the cast and crew at @dayspeacock, I love you forever. You’re my family. And to the best fans a girl could ask or hope for: remember there is no pit so deep you could ever find yourself in where God’s love cannot find you still. You are never beyond redemption. You are called by grace and marked with love. Thank you for supporting me on this decade long journey. #Days #RIPJohnAniston #ripvictorkiriakis #DOOL”

No word yet if in the future, and with Lilley’s busy filming schedule (once the SAG-AFTRA and writers strikes are resolved) for Great American Family movies and other projects, if she would be available to return to DAYS should the show decide to write for the character.

So, are you sad to see Jen exit the canvas as Theresa? Curious just who and how will take over her role? There have been plenty of online rumors that a certain actress currently on the show is taking over the part. Comment below.

Days of our Lives Celebrates One-Year on Peacock (Photos)

When Days of our Lives moved from NBC to the streaming service Peacock after 57 years on the air, it rocked many longtime fans of the beloved soap opera. However, NBC/Universal decided to make it a high priority on its companion streamer as one of its flagship shows. This was due, in part, to its dedicated fan base and viewership.

DAYS started its run in its new home on September 12th, 2022, and now one-year later, Peacock helped the show celebrate its first anniversary in its current streaming digs with an ice cream truck outside its studios in Burbank on Monday.

Taking a break from Salem, and to partake in some ice cream were DAYS stars: Billy Flynn (Chad), Ella Cantu, (Jada) Abigail Klein (Stephanie), Bill and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Doug and Julie), Carson Boatman (Johnny), Raven Bowens (Chanel), Mary Beth Evans (Kayla), Stephen Nichols (Steve), and Greg Vaughan (Eric).

Check out some of the snaps from the ice cream truck fun below!
