DAYS Nick Emerges After Arianna's Christening Stating: "Sorry, Am I Interrupting?"

Talk about a Friday cliffhanger!  You got to give props to Days of our Lives, they sure know how to put plenty of drama into familial events!  You see in Salem, whenever there is a big wedding, or a christening, and family and friends gather together, something is always about to explode, and boy did it ever!

For weeks, savvy DAYS fans have figured out that Arianna’s Christening would probably be the stage for the return of the “murdered” Nick  Fallon (Blake Berris)!

Well at the end of Friday’s episode, everyone who has been covering up his disappearance, and those who believed they had “murdered” him were in for the surprise of their lives when the church doors opened and in walked none other than a very much alive Nick!  When he comes in to the church post-Christening, he says, “Sorry, am Interrupting?”  Now, you know Nick is going to get payback! And the look of shock on Gabi (Camila Banus), Sami (Alison Sweeney), Kate (Lauren Koslow), Abigail (Kate Mansi), and EJ’s (James Scott) faces were priceless!

The entire episode was pretty spectacular filled with some hankie-filled speeches from Ari’s God parents, Abigail and Sonny (Freddie Smith), Gabi telling Will (Guy Wilson) how happy she is that they created Arianna, busy body Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) ready to pounce on Gabi at any second, everyone trying to keep Gabi from losing her grip, and then EJ using Abby’s sexual attraction to him as a way of keeping the gal from talking to Hope (Kristian Alfonso) about Nick!  Now all bets are off!

What did you think of the final moments of the episode when Nick emerged alive?  What did you think of the Friday telecast? Watch a promo for next week’s Days of our Lives after the jump!  Then, share your thoughts and what you think will happen next!

Back in November when you asked if Nick was really dead I replied– He’s alive and he will come back seeking revenge on Gabi, Kate and Sami– this is Days after all– or words that affect— Good to see Days stay true to form. I am glad Nick is back, if only to stop this covering up the murder story which was becoming quite silly.

They all looked like they needed a change of underwear…lol…I wonder if Nick…sly Nick…will act like nothing has happened…let the blackmail begin!!!(By the way…its winter…i doubt Nick was in the water for long…otherwise ya think he’d suffer from frostbite unless its not cold in Salem or the bird watcher guy managed to pull him out soon afterward…hopefully Nick keeps his mouth shut, Gabi has her breakdown, and Nick blackmails E.J., Sami, Kate and WilSon…maybe he’ll try to get custody of the baby from them!!! Also, i hope the bird watcher sticks around for a little fun of his own…maybe he’ll… Read more »

Also, i know i mentioned a possible Brady and Theresa pairing but a Nick and Theresa pairing would make much better drama with these two scheming and plotting…blackmailing almost everyone in Salem…if a Brady can be a villain so can a Horton(its about time)!!! Also, i like to think there is more to Theresa’s bad girl behavior than parents who werent always around…i like to think that when Theresa was much younger she was shocked and disapointed when she discovered that her own father, Shane, actually cheated on her mother Kim and had an affair with Theresa’s nanny played in… Read more »

Le sigh. It was fantastic! By 35 minutes, I almost forgot there was supposed to be a huge reveal because the episode was just so satisfying.

LOVED Blake’s delivery on the line. It had this boyish sarcasm that really rang true for the moment. It reminded me of EJ’s “Do you feel safe?” to Adrienne months ago. Not many words were necessary to drive a huge point home so the carefully chosen ones needed to pack a really good punch. And they did!

Can’t wait for tomorrow!

Abigail has very alluring lips too. Man, woman, it’s all about the lips to me. I want Abby and Nick… because I’m a lipsexual at heart.

I don’t think any true viewer was THAT surprised that he was still alive. However, I agree that the storyline was well written and well executed. DAYS OF OUR LIVES continues to thrive in a much discussed genre that people say is a product of by gone days. I think good story-telling will continue to succeed ~

I loved it. To make things better, I think Nick is the one who was standing outside the cabin when EJ and Abigail were getting cozy. It seems he will be in control for awhile.

EJ’s thinking, okay, I didn’t need to sleep with Abigail after all. Oh well. My bad, Sami.

Looking forward to what happens next. Of course, at the end of the day, it’s Nick’s word (and he is not exactly trustworthy) against Sami, Gabi, and Kate.

Im just happy Nick is back, IF he is the one with the pictures of EJ and Abby,
I want him to show Sami Lucas Abby Jenn and EJ what he has and do it ASAP

It would be so damn juicy if Nick would get custody of Ari!!! Exciting DAYS ahead!!!

I wrote that too…above, i said maybe he’ll try to get custody of the baby…what if there is another twist that helps Nick win Ari…he reveals he and Gabi were never legally divorced?

4everDAYS

4everDAYS

Yes, Maybe the divorce was not final.

Nick can blackmail Will into not fighting for custody.

Nick was saved by the bird watcher whom witnessed the three women throw Nick in the river.

I think that Nick has amnesia and does not remember what happened to him.

great posts! and a great way for Nick to bring it all out…. for his own personal needs and agenda

just a lot of potential for his character and to give him so many archs for “acting”

he’s just the guy to give the audience so much to marvel at

Super Fantastic cliff hanger Days is definitely still got it and always will. I hope Tony returns to Days also. Easy way to bring him back from the dead is to say It was Andrea that died.

Pride Month Celebrating LGBTQ+ Soap Supercouples: Nuke, Kish, Otalia & WilSon … Which Stands the Test of Time?

June is Pride Month, the time when across the U.S and the world there are celebrations and commemorations to recognize all who identify as LGBTQ and their allies.

Daytime soap operas have had a rocky road when it comes to the representation of same-sex couples.  The soaps have been at one time leaders in portraying key social issues of our time, as well as treading lightly on other subjects, as to its concerns to ‘turn-off’ its core audiences.

When you look back at the groundbreaking first same-sex weddings, and the first gay kiss, the soaps have come far in some ways in their representations of gay characters, but there is always work to be done to serve and to shed light on the under-represented.

As we reflect back to the then and the now, which LGBTQ soap supercouple remains your favorite and had made a lasting impact? Let’s take a look at four duos who captivated many viewers.

Nuke  – Luke Snyder and Noah Mayer – As the World Turns

Van Hansis (Luke) and Jake Silbermann (Noah) were a key part of the evolution of, and representation of LGBTQ character on the soaps.  ‘Nuke’, as they were known as, became the first gay male soap couple to share an on-screen kiss back in 2007.  ATWT also became known as the first soap to depict a fully realized romantic male couple as an integral part of the show.  There was plenty of backlash along the way for the long-awaited kiss to happen, but when it did, the show moved forward to tell their love story.

Otalia – Olivia Spencer and Natalia Rivera Aitoro – Guiding Light

When Crystal Chappell (Olivia) and Jessica Leccia (Natalia) began to play the love story of Otalia, they had to show their affection by a kiss on the head, or holding hands.  It took quite some time for GL to move forward to have two women, two moms, no less, share a lip lock. The complicated love story featured Natalia being conflicted to face her true romantic feelings for Olivia, because of her value system and religions upbringing, and that made this all the more riveting and frustrating at the same time.  In the end, the rabid fan base for this duo was so great that Chappell wound up creating her own series, Venice, to honor and serve them, remaining one of the LGBTQ communities greatest allies.

Kish – Kyle Lewis and Oliver Fish – One Life to Live

In 2009, One Life to Live’s Kyle Lewis (Brett Claywell) was an out lab tech in Llanview, who back in college had a relationship with Officer Oliver Fish (Scott Evans).  It imploded when Oliver denied he was gay.  For years, Oliver remained in the closet, before finally coming out to himself and Kyle.

Kish had been a big success with the media and One Life’s gay audience. LGBTQ-advocacy groups honored the couple and the story.  However, Kish was cut short when the network felt that the data showed that the storyline was not resonating with the show’s core audience.

WilSon – Will Horton and Sonny Kiriakis – Days of our Lives

Days of our Lives delivered daytime’s first-ever gay male wedding in 2014, between Will (then played by Guy Wilson) and Sonny (then played by Freddie Smith).

In an interview with EW, Days of our Lives executive producer, Ken Corday shared on the union, “Will and Sonny have been together for a while and it was the natural progression of their love story. We didn’t feel like there was anything we could or couldn’t do, we treated them like any other couple on the canvas and continued to grow their romance as such.”

In addition, the coming out story of Will Horton was critically praised and noteworthy for the performances of Chandler Massey, who won three Daytime Emmys for his work in the Outstanding Younger Actor category 2012, 2013 and 2014.  Freddie Smith also won in the same category in 2015.  Will has been played over the years by Chandler Massey and Guy Wilson, while Sonny has been portrayed by Freddie Smith and Zach Tinker.

There have been several other key LGBTQ couples throughout the course of daytime history including All My Children’s Bianca (Eden Riegel) and Reese (Tamara Braun). These two characters were involved in the first same-sex lesbian wedding on daytime. Problem was … Reese kissed Zach (Thorsten Kaye) before the wedding, making this infuriating for viewers at home.

Other notable LGBTQ couples through the years have included: Bianca and Maggie on All My Children, Mariah and Tessa of The Young and the Restless played bv Camryn Grimes and Cait Fairbanks, Maya and Rick on The Bold and the Beautiful, Lucas and Brad on General Hospital and others.

DAYS and GH Alum Tyler Christopher Arrested for Public Intoxication

Daytime Emmy-winner, Tyler Christopher (ex-Nikolas, GH; ex-Stefan, DAYS) was arrested for public intoxication at the Burbank, California airport, this past Friday, on May 26th.

According to the Burbank PD and reports obtained by TMZ, Tyler was arrested after they found him asleep and on the ground at the American Airlines terminal.  The officers noted that Tyler displayed clear and objective signs of drinking.  They also reveal he was unable to care of himself.

Christopher, who remains a fan favorite as the former Nikolas Cassadine on GH and Stefan DiMera on DAYS has opened up and discussed his battle with alcoholism in the past.  Last year, he appeared on former GH co-star Maurice Benard’s You Tube series, State of Mind.

Tyler was released from police custody following his airport arrest, cited, and will need to appear in court at a later date.

Back in 2019, the popular actor was cited for two counts of misdemeanor public intoxication and landed in jail for two days, following an arrest in Indiana.

Peter Porte, Miranda Wilson and Colton Little Tease Dimitri’s Love Interest, Who’s the Daddy & The Future of Andrew & Paul

Following recent revelations on Days of our Lives, which include that Dimitri Von Leushner (Peter Porte) is the biological son of Megan Hathaway (Miranda Wilson), thus making him a DiMera, Megan moving back into the DiMera mansion after her prison term, and Andrew (Colton Little) being kidnapped, the performers who take on these roles chatted with Michael Fairman on Friday during a livestream conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel.

During the live chat a myriad of subjects and upcoming story teases came up including: if there might be the love interest for Dimitri. Peter Porte shared, “Yes, there certainly will be. There will be two. One, out of perhaps, we’ll say necessity, and one out of heart’s desire.”  As to if ‘said’ relationship will show Dimitri’s obsessive side, Porte expressed: “I think he goes through a full journey of emotions. I don’t think he fully reaches obsession. I would say he reaches a level of extreme devotion.”  When Porte found out who the character would be that Dimitri seemingly falls for, the actor said, “I was certainly surprised.”

When we posed the question to the DAYS fans in the live chat, as to who they think will be Dimitri’s love interest or interests, guesses ranged from Gwen (Emily O’Brien) to Sloan (Jessica Serfaty) to Leo (Greg Rikaart). Could any, or two, of those be right?

Miranda Wilson and Porte weighed-in on the mother/son bond and troublemaking duo of Megan and Dimitri.  Wilson shared: “I think it’s fair to say that Dimitri is a grown man and probably has his own mustache twisting to be doing without Megan to be involved.  I just think that what is going to be coming up now is a beautiful relationship between the two.”  Porte followed with, “At the heart of it, Dimitri would do anything for his mother, anything.”

Another mystery on DAYS fans minds is just who is the bio-dad of Dimitri? Is it someone on the canvas? Someone from the past? Porte previewed, “He certainly has a name and a title, but I don’t know if we’ve met him yet.” Wilson added, “I don’t believe he has been on the show.”

Many DAYS fans are also hoping that there be will be more to the burgeoning love story of Andrew and Paul (Christopher Sean). Colton revealed, “I have a real-life love and affinity for Christoper Sean, because he is just a ball of light and energy and a good human. I don’t think my success on the show would be anything if he hadn’t taken me under his wing and showed me the ropes. So much kudos and love to him. Getting to play opposite of someone like that as a love interest, is a treat and a joy. I think it’s really sweet, a lot of it is happening off-screen. I know the fans have expressed they want to see it on-screen.”  However, Little teased, ‘There is some good stuff coming up with Andrew and Paul. Stay tuned.”

When Miranda Wilson first appeared on Days of our Lives, it was back in 1984 as Megan was revealed to be the daughter of Stefano DiMera, played by the late, great Joseph Mascolo.  This week, Megan made her way back to the DiMera mansion and Miranda weighed-in on her relationship with her late on-screen father, and more. “Joe was a very dear friend,” she detailed. “When we worked together in the past, he was truly a father figure for me. DAYS was my first professional job in Los Angeles. The fact that Joe was there for me and we worked together so frequently, and he had a lot of time for me, meant the world to me. So, it was bittersweet being back (in the DiMera mansion), and him not being there. It still touches me, but at the same time, the character of Megan has her edge and she doesn’t let this show. As the actress, there was a lot of tenderness, that the character didn’t necessarily display. The whole ‘being back’ thing was amazing.”

You can watch the entire livestream featuring Peter, Miranda and Colton below.  The talented trio also chat on working with Steve Burton (Harris, DAYS) and Colton’s opportunity to work with the one and only Dick Van Dyke who is making a guest appearance this fall on the soap.

Now weigh-in: Who do you think will be the love interest or interests for Dimitri? Who do you think will turn out to be Dimitri’s father? Are you hoping for more Andrew and Paul? Share your thoughts and theories in the comment section.
