Days Of Our Lives
DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Alex, Chanel and Allie Have a Three-Way
On Monday’s Days of our Lives, the long-running soap opera included in story, its first ever threesome. DAYS, which has been streaming on Peacock since the middle of September, teased the ménage à trois a bit ago when Rob Scott Wilson’s new character of Alex Kiriakis hit Salem and was a bit of a ‘player’. At one point during a conversation, Alex hit on Chanel (Raven Bowens) and Allie (Lindsay Arnold) and put into their minds the notion of having a threesome with him.
Meanwhile, Allie and Chanel have had their own past complicated relationships with men, and now with each other. Feeling that their relationship has hit a bump in the road, the young women decide a three-way might be just the spark needed to ignite their love and passion for one another.

Eventually, the two invite Alex over for a drink, making small-talk and trying to get to the reason they invited him over in the first place. After fumbling around to get to the true reason, Allie reveals they want to take him up on his offer. Alex is confused, until Chanel uses the word “threesome” to which Alex spits out his drink.
Allie then admits the three-way was her idea, and Chanel agreed to it, as it’s an adventure they could share together. They go on to say they chose Alex because they wanted someone who would have no emotional ties to them afterward. Alex, also has a bit of truth of his own to share. He says, in reality, he has only experienced a three-way, twice before.
After trying to figure out how to start the sexual encounter, Alex kisses Chanel, then Allie and the three adjourn to the bedroom, DAYS then delivers a montage of shots representing the sex between the three.
In the end, Alex is winded and dehydrated and goes to get some water, while Chanel and Allie check in with each other and say that the experience was more than alright and recommit to each other.
Fans of the series have been commenting on social media since yesterday. Also, to note, DAYS tapes month ahead, so this story point was already completed before the move to Peacock. It should also be noted that Rob Scott Wilson also appeared in another soap first, when on Prospect Park’s All My Children, his character of Pete Cortlandt (Wilson) received oral sex from Colby (Brooke Newton).
So, what did you think about how the Salem threesome between Alex, Chanel and Allie was portrayed? Comment below.
“Days” wants attention–and needs it on the new Peacock platform. But with this–are they trying to be hip? Or is it just tasteless?
Since this episode was taped 6 months ago, it really has nothing to do with Peacock. Though it might very well have something to do with ReRon promoting his latest creation, “Alex Who Is Definitely Not Ben The Necktie Killer”.
The threesome would have seemed a lot less contrived it they would have done it with Tripp Johnson, who both of the girls were “into” to one extent or another, though admittedly a lot of alcohol was involved when he almost got busy with Chanel.
Yes, Satan, it seems contrived especially since I would never share that man with anyone. It’d be all or nothing. Hopefully all.
They knew when they were filming it 6 months ago it would be on peacock when it aired. A deal like that doesn’t happen over night.
That threesome was smoking hot. Next time I want just three women involved.
I did not think Days would actually show it. I thought they could have shown us the three going into the bedroom and then them lying in bed after or in the living room. I was surprised it was shown.
I’m more than okay with this breakthrough storyline, largely because it is a part of the human experience. Threesomes may not be for everyone, but they are common enough that it is almost surprising the topic has not been featured in soaps previously. I also think that there is much drama to be mined from such encounters: whether it’s a one-time versus ongoing relationship, whether one or more members experience misgivings, whether one member feels left out, resultant pregnancies, and so on. Let the games begin…
James…as always, you are SO RIGHT ON!!! Also, I found the episode (in general) to be VERY WONDERFULLY GROUNDBREAKING!!! Most of all, the Allie/Alex/Chanel scenario held my interest because (to me) it was so comical…lol. And yep…let the games begin…PERIOD!!!!!
Catch ya’ later, Brother.
Thank you for the backup, jaybird369! As we see, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. But, as you say, it is “GROUNDBREAKING.” And you added a dimension I neglected: the humor. Humor comes in handy, doesn’t it? Take care, Friend!
Stop spreading misinformation. You have no idea how “common” it is unless you have statistics to support your claim (other than your trick knee). There’s nothing “groundbreaking” about Days being boring.
Thank you for your reply, whynot. As with other commenters here, it’s also refreshing to read a different point of view. My posts here are merely anecdotal. I am no expert on the topic. And I am certainly not “spreading misinformation” here, as some anti-vaccers do. I’m not sure of your intent with the “trick knee” comment. I will assume this is an attempt at humor and not a vicious putdown. I’m happy to have a respectful discussion with others capable of doing so.
This is just one of the reasons I have not watched DAYS since March.
If I wanted to watch p0rn I would. I’ve been watching this show for over 40 years, they have totally ruined it. Most people who watch this show are an older generation and not interested in this crap. It’s obvious they are jumping on the woke bandwagon, as is most of NBC shows. To appeases a minute part of the population DOOL just destroyed themselves.
I have no idea how a threesome would be considered “Woke.” And the whole point of stories like this is to reflect current contemporary life. It’s wonderful that there are viewers who have watched for more than 40 years. But to survive, Days needs to attract new and young viewers by offering content that appeals to them. Not sure why that would be considered a “minute part of the population.” Literally, it’s the generation of the future.
The threescore didn’t make it “woke” but there have been other things happening too that show they are moving in that direction.
I have heard the phrase “middle age white male” a few times now. To me, that is as racist as it comes. Making an assumption of a entire group of people.
Moving forward more as the world changes, sure, I appreciate that but they are crossing lines that is going to leave long time viewer’s considering to no longer watch.
The three some was a close call for me, hot, yeah sure, but it’s not what I want to see when I get home from work while making dinner. It’s daytime TV, bottom line. Move it to 8pm time slot.
Porn does not belong on public day time tv, I have watched this show for 47 years. Terribly disappointed. Will no longer watch this show.
This is:
1. Not porn (trust me that’s a lot more graphic)
2. Not on “public daytime tv” as Peacock is a subscription service not subject to network standards & practices.
3. Just an example of things that do occur in real life (not everyone’s but far from a few).
Going back to the early days, soaps have always gone where many primetime shows weren’t ready to go. Adultery and divorce in the 50s/60s, abortion and race relations in the 70s, and coming out in the 90s.
In order to grow, soaps need to continue to evolve with the times and push boundaries.

All you are saying may be true, but, have you ever seen two dogs mating? Things that happen in real life, yes but I sure as hell don’t care to see it on my daytime TV. There’s a time and place for everything.
Violet, your comment reminds me of a great line of dialogue from the 1972 movie BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE. Oscar-winner Eileen Heckart’s character responds to a wacky, avant-garde theatre director who claims that audiences are dying to see MORE nudity and degradation on stage. “It’s part of life”, he claims. Eileen’s character responds: “I realize that. So is diarrhea. But I wouldn’t classify it as entertainment.” Whatever your thoughts, it’s a classic comeback!
I’ve seen my dog Cerberus going at it with another hellhound. Since he has three heads, does that count as a “4 way”??
It was actually uneventful. I had to laugh that they were talking about how hot it was and Chanel still had her barrettes perfectly in place in the morning.
Lots of hype and very little payoff.
For years I watched Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra walk off with two women in tow and didn’t give it a second thought as to what was going on. But its two women and a male and everyone is freaking out!!! Talk about stereotypes. I think Allie’s threesome suggestion by the way is malicious and she plans to accidentally tell her brother so that it turns him off to Chanel. Other than that as I wrote before if Days succeeds on Peacock they might want to consider breaking up the show and putting the older folks in one soap and the youngsters in their own spinoff.
It was fine, but the timing was clumsy and insensitive. Allie’s two grandmothers and great aunt are at death’s door and she’s doing this?

‘Days of our Lives’ Leo Howard Joins Cast for ‘Yellowjackets’ Fourth and Final Season

Yellowjackets announced its full cast and new additions for its upcoming fourth and final season. None other than Days of our Lives favorite Leo Howard (Tate Black) will be featured in an exciting and undisclosed role on the Paramount+ streaming series.
Howard’s casting comes after he was one of four Days of our Lives cast members pink-slipped from the Peacock soap opera back in January of 2026. Due to Days of our Lives advanced tape to streaming episodes, Leo is also still appearing on the soap.
Viewers will need to tune-in to see how Tate, Holly (Ashley Puzemis), Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Chanel’s (Raven Bowens) storylines resolve before they all exit the canvas. No word on when Howard’s last DAYS episode airs as of yet.

YELLOWJACKETS CAST ADDITIONS FOR FINAL SEASON
The official Yellowjackets Instagram account welcomed a slew of new cast members for the upcoming fourth and final season which included Howard accompanying the post were, “The wilderness welcomes these new faces to the cast of #yellowjackets season 4.”
Leo joins Molly Ringwald, Eric Stoltz, June Squibb, Dulé Hill, Devon Sawa, Ken Marino, Aaron Staton, Cynthia Stevenson, Patricia De Leon, Noah Harpster, Sam Braun, and John Emmet Tracy for Yellowjackets final season which will premiere on November 22, 2026.
For those who may not be aware, Yellowjackets, was created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, and follows a high school girls soccer team after its plane crashes in the remote northern wilderness. The series moves between the teenagers’ increasingly brutal fight for survival and the lives the survivors have attempted to rebuild nearly 25 years later, proving that what happened in the past is far from buried.
Back on August 20, Paramount+ revealed that Yellowjackets will conclude with season 4 offering up a chilling teaser with former MTV VJ, Kurt Loder seen as a newscaster announcing, “We are live with breaking news: The Wiskayok Yellowjackets have been found.” From there, the season will deal with the aftermath of the soccer team’s eventual rescue.
Michael Fairman TV will keep you posted when Howard’s first episode of Yellowjackets will stream on Paramount+.
Now let us know, glad to see Leo landing a role in Yellowjackets? Will you miss him on Days of our Lives? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Federal Film and TV Tax Credit Bill Hits Congress; Daytime Dramas Not Eligible

In an effort to bring back productions to the United States and offering incentives to keep them from going abroad, a bipartisan group of lawmakers in Congress has introduced proposed legislation to establish a federal film and television tax credit. It is being touted as a landmark moment for Hollywood Workers and small businesses.
The Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act, led by Rep. Laura Friedman (D-Calif.), Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-Texas), Rep. Sanchez (D-Calif.) and Rep. Brian Jack (R-Ga.) in the House of Representatives, would establish a 20 percent base tax credit on labor expenses and a potential rebate of 30% if signed into law. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) are spearheading an identical bill in the Senate.
To be eligible, productions must have a minimum spend of $1 million (per film or per TV season), and at least 75% of production days must be in the U.S. For animation, 75% of the production cost must be in the U.S.

SOAP OPERAS AND OTHER FORMS OF PROGRAMMING WILL NOT BE PART OF THE BILL
The federal incentive would be eligible to be stacked on top of individual state tax incentives, much like the current system in Canada and Australia. In the new bill, postproduction and special visual effects labor costs can be counted as eligible expenses.
However, the lawmakers proposed bill does not include the following type of shows: Daytime dramas, porn, commercials, talk shows, interview shows, game shows, award shows, news programming, live sports, corporate/industrial videos, and social media videos,
TV AND FILM PROJECTS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE HOPE TO BRING BUSINESS AND JOBS BACK TO THE U.S.
The federal film and television tax credit will be available for: films, TV shows – scripted and unscripted (4-episode minimum), TV pilots, animation, above-the-line wages (producers, writers, directors, actors, etc.) and below-the-line wages (crew), and standalone post-production and visual effects.
If passed, the legislation could offer much needed help for workers who have been rocked by recent unsteady times in show business. In all, runaway productions, strikes and a contraction in the business have dashed many job opportunities in recent years, with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics finding that jobs in the motion picture and video industries have declined by more than 100,000 since 2022.

So, what do you think of the new bill on the table in the U.S. congress? Glad to know that it could, if passed, help some types of projects? What do you think about how the soaps are excluded and deemed not eligible? Does it continue to seem to you, that no matter what, those that work within the continuous tightened budget of daytime dramas can never catch a break? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

‘Days of our Lives’ Preview: Will Dominic Marino Turn Out to Be Marlena’s Son With Stefano DiMera?

All signs point to that Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) at some juncture had Stefano DiMera’s (the late Joseph Mascolo) baby, but will it ultimately prove to be true, especially when the man in question is Dominic Marino? The last name Marino could also be the clue which its first half contains Marlena, the last half Stefano!
For several weeks, Marlena has been grappling with some vague memories and things she doesn’t seem to want to remember or can’t. We know that when Belle (Martha Madison) and Chad (Conner Floyd) made it to Italy, they found hidden in the replica chess set, just like the one Stefano “gifted” Marlena and John, that a secret compartment revealed a photo of Stefano holding a young boy with the picture dated on the back “1992.”
Now, in all-new episodes of Days of our Lives streaming next week on Peacock, the official promo ends with quite the shock for Marlena. First, Steve (Stephen Nichols) pays her a visit with an update that they were able to track down the birth certificate of Dominic Marino. As she reads the certificate, Marlena says out loud that Stefano is listed as the father, but stops dead in her tracks when she reads the mother’s name, and the promo goes to black!

Will Marlena learn she has another child out there, who seemingly was in cahoots with Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti) in Monte Carlo? Or, is this all one last evil plan from the dead from Stefano to make Marlena believe she is the biological mother of his child? Stay tuned.
Elsewhere in Salem, Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) races home to the Kiriakis mansion ready to save it, and the family business. after gambling it all in Monte Carlo. Sadly, when he walks in to the family home, it’s completely empty!
In addition, the machinations of Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) continue as she concocts another scheme when she researches, “nerve conduction studies.” Could it be she is going to fake her paralysis? Then, Mason (Brandon Butler) and Holly (Ashley Puzemis) finally have s showdown, where she asks, “Do you think I’m to blame for Sophia’s death?” It appears Mason believes she had a lot to do with it.
Now below, check out additional Days of our Lives spoilers for the week of September 21-15.
