My man got the endcap, what an honor! Awesome pic! Wishing them another 50 yrs, at least!
And who, exactly, is “your man?” There’s one on each end.
Great catch! I have tunnel vision when it comes to Eric Martsolf since the first time we actually met. I couldn’t even talk right, I said, “Nice to eat you!” Lmao
days is so classy! i just love days!
Great photo. Wish Kassie DePaiva had been included, as well as a few others, but stylistically, it is a nice photo.
Yes.I too wish Kassie DePaiva had been in the picture and,more importantly,still the valuable member of the cast that she was and should have remained.
yes, Kassie DePaiva, True O’Brian, and James Reed deserved to be included, too. And, what about Wally Kurth, and the actress who plays Maxine, where is she? If Anne can be in it, what about Maxine? And, what about Nicole and yes, Dr. Dan?
Yeah I thought it was messed up that Maxine wasn’t on there. I like her also.
I think Ann is there next to Theresa but her name is not included. Where is Dr. Dan, Nicole, Justin, Bo, and any of the now grown children?
There are quite a few not included for one reason or another…like vacations or whatever. It’s a shame that they didn’t make this photo shoot mandatory and made sure every cast member was included.
Zander is missing! Paul Telfer!!! Hoping he returns soon.
Zander is gone and has been for a while. He was always just a means to an end and not a permanent cast member.
I know he’s gone, shit stirrer. Thus, the “hope he returns” comment.
It is a FANTASTIC photo of a FANTASTIC group!
FANTASTIC times
FANTASTIC production
Was Christopher Sean photo shopped in? Where’s Wally Kurth? Maybe Justin is another victim of the necktie killer! The empty space on the bench gives me chills!!!!!
Maybe he was playing in GH at the time
Yeah isn’t that strange to see? I hope that doesn’t mean Justin is going anywhere. He could have been photoshopped in lol.
Where is Rafe? Where are shawn christian and Adrienne z? Major omissions. Sad that Clyde and kassie de paiva are gone, but that’s logical. A glaring omission are sonny and will. Patch
without the patch? nice. Oh just noticed hopes soon to be assailant is not here as well.
SC and AZ couldn’t attend because they were at a charity event in the upper Midwest.
Who’s the woman between Jen Lilley and Josh Taylor? I agree with Taylor. Stylistically, it’s wonderful, but I’m upset by those that are missing, especially Kassie, Freddie and Guy.
The lady who plays Anne that works at the hospital. She’s also Teresa’s friend.
Peter Reckell (“Bo Brady”) is missing in this photo and he should not be. So is the doctor, “Daniel” , Maggie’s donor son, who is leaving the show. “Justin” is not in this photo and that’s fine with me.
It doesn’t say when the photo was taken. There is a prevailing rumour that Peter only returned to Days for a short time in order to give permanent closure to Bo and Hope. He never liked the way Bo was written off last time. Both Peter and Daniel could have left Days before the photo was taken.
where is justin and niclole and daniel adn aidan and how come none of the teennagers are in it or shawn d
Great picture! Suzanne Rogers name was left off the list even though she is in the picture. Can’t forget Maggie!
You forgot to ID two of the ladies, Meredith Scott Lynn (third from left in back row) and Suzanne Rogers (sitting in the front row)!
Nice! I LOVE that NBC still forks over the money to do these big shoots.
BUT….
Where’s Galen Gering?
Ari Zucker?
Wally Kurth?
Peter Reckell? (….as far as I’ve heard, Stephen Nichols isn’t on contract even though he’s still currently filming. Peter may have only made a short stay, but he’ll be there for the 50th)
Any of the new SORASed kids?
Meredith Scott Lynn (Ann) is there, but not the actress who plays Maxine?
I guess Shawn Christen is off for sure.
I wish that Ariana Zucker n Kassie DePaiva n Wally Kurth were in it. Shawn Christian too. I know a couple of them are leaving but if they’re on air for the 50th they should’ve been a part of it. But it is a beautiful picture otherwise
Gorgeous photo! So glad I have come back to Days of our Lives.
No Freddie-Sonny…i see Suzanne Rogers-Maggie but her name isnt there!…nice photo…weird seeing an aged Chase on todays episode after seeing little Chase just a week ago…lol
Where is Nicole and Justin? I know they are both on contract. I have a feeling Nicole has left the show which is sad.
Love the picture but where was peter reckell why was he left out of the picture.he should’ve been in the picture.he is a very big part of days
It’s a lovely photo but why is Christopher Sean the only one not wearing a suit? Was he photo shopped in?
where is Justin, Aiden, Bo and the new/old characters they were bringing back?
There are several new cast members in the photo, but where are Rafe, Bo, Nicole, Daniel, Justin, Adrienne, Eve?
A beautiful picture. I am curious that “Ben” is still in the picture. I haven’t read that he is leaving the show. I know some fans want him gone, I think Robert’s acting has been incredible.
Same here. I would like him to stay on though it would be hard to redeem him after he’s killed three people.
Hell, Guiding Light offered Frank Beaty (sp?) a contract after his character Brent had killed several people but he declined. Guess getting the character psychiatric help fixes everything lol.
You forgot about Suzanne Rogers.
There are a lot people missing notably, the actress who plays Maggie Horton, isn’t she one the longest running cast members? Hope her absence just means she wasn’t available for the shoot and not foreshadowing her being killed off too.
she is in the photo…her name was missing but now corrected
Suzanne Rogers (Maggie) is in the picture…in the front next to Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie).
Okay my eyesight isn’t what it was, SR is there apparently, I was going by the list of names– glad she is there.
Maggie is there, she’s on the front row.
Who is MIA? Asians, other actors of color besides lonely James Reynolds, gay people. At least there are, what, 2 Hispanics? On the whole, soaps don’t seem to understand that there is value and strength in representing the diversity that is America. This photo, though lovely, shows that.
Oops, I now see Christopher Sean is pictured. So there is a part-Asian and gay character represented. Still, the show looks overwhelmingly middle-class white. In my defense, the faces are tiny! Even Michael Fairman forgot to list an actress in the back row and Suzanne Rogers!
im upset that Wilson wasn’t in it with him!! i don’t think he’s going to stay.
Suzanne Rogers (Maggie) is seated in the front row between Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie) and Sal Stowers (Lani). Sal is African American. She was also a winner of America’s Next Top Model. She previously starred in All My Children.
They seem to be trying some. The new cop is a black female and Theo is coming on soon. And they have hispanics with Camila, Galen and A. Martinez.
I was SO impressed with the DAYS episode I watched yesterday! It had a dream like quality. It was where Aiden was planning to pull a copy cat murder and kill Hope because he “had no choice”. It was very Dexter-ish, if anyone knows what I mean from the t.v. show Dexter. The subject matter was dark, but the writing and production were SO sophisticated, as are most things about DAYS right now. And then when Nicole and Daniel were dancing, that had an old school vintage Hollywood vibe to it. And better yet…they paid actual money to use a… Read more »
There’s been a lot of talk concerning Daniel’s upcoming death, DYLAN. Some viewers have speculated Eric could be the person who kills Daniel. Eric has become a boozer since Serena’s murder. Maybe he’ll kill Daniel in a drunk driving accident.
I think good old Daniel hops in the car with him to stop him from driving but didn’t succeed, they both go off of a cliff but Eric lives but in bad shape. Just speculating not a spoiler.
It’s like the Muppets are having their fiftieth anniversary, and three weeks before it they Kill Kermit, after having him vivisected in a school biology class live on air, and then burning his puppet in a brazier with the rest of the Muppets gethered around warming their hands and chuckling, and announce to the world that’s it, the character is OVER!! P-E-R-M-A-N-E-N-T-L-Y! Next they have a piss-take of a memorial service, to which Miss Piggy is too busy to attend because she is having her hoofs done. A lollipop stick is used for a memorial plaque, with the name “Froggy”… Read more »
I salute you, sir.
I will also point out in my viewing area the official NBCDays site was posting smiling pictures of heterosexual characters as the life was being strangled from Will. This was the anniversary of Matthew Shepherd’s death – and a day many campus GLBTQ organizations use to speak out against violence and Will and Sonny and Paul were extremely popular on college campuses among the GLBTQ set.
The big, giant gay cleanse of Days was completed today as Sonny abandons his daughter to the hands of a single mother with no income and a prison record.
You neglect to say why Gabi went to prison. She went to prison for murdering Nick Fallon…the legacy character whom many lgbt viewers begged to kill off.
Wow! That is brilliant. I couldn’t have said it better. The whole mess kinda leaves a weird “green” taste in your mouth like bile. But great post, and I cannot agree more.
Thank you for brightening my last day as a DOOL fan. I couldn’t believe the insensitivity with which Will’s death was handled and the obvious hatred the writers had toward the character. You can kill off a main character if you write a good, tragic story. They didn’t. They rushed through a gay cleanse.
If that wasn’t enough, we’re got more Deaths of Our Lives ahead. Is that what fans really want to see, death, death and more death? I’m so glad to have taken it off my DVR today.
Thank you for thanking me! It has brightened *my* day knowing that I have brightened your day. Thank you all who have shown appreciation. 🙂
Stephen. take a few breaths. do it again.
Forgot to add that leader of Muppet HQ, has been releasing “Celebrate Good Times” tweets over the Kill Kermit period, with a “Happy 12,000th episode” tweet on Murder Day itself. How tactless can you get?
Is all this angst over Will?
Who’s Will?
It sure ain’t easy being green. In Salem these Days anyway.
Thank you for this
Without Will Horton, there is no celebration for me. I’ve quit watching and I feel so bad that Will and fans of the Wilson love story have been excluded from the 50th Celebration.
Also, it looks like they photoshopped Christopher Sean, the backburned token gay, into this picture. Maybe, maybe not, but it doesn’t matter.
I stopped watching 2 weeks ago. The 50th Celebration is over for me, too.
Same here. Not knowing what was coming I was actually looking forward to the 50th, expecting both Guy and Freddie to be there, and expecting some happy ending! Little did I know! Will was what got be watching the show in the first place. I’ve always looked forward to scenes with him, and had been really enjoying the few scenes that we had been getting with Will, and getting excited about his character being restored. And now everything has changed. Everything has turned to dust. What Days has done is gob-smackingly crass: killing a fan favourite for their 50th celebration,… Read more »
The ratings are up as the last weeks of Guy & Freddie and Alison makes her reappearance. However, I doubt they can sustain this after Sami is gone. The ratings were terrible for the first weeks the new writers arrive.
Sami always boosts ratings, no matter how much she seems to evoke hate online. She’s very popular. Why they didn’t wait until November to bring her back, I’ll never know.
The highest ratings of the new writing regime have been for a Will, Sonny & Sami story and all those characters are gone now. Will & Sonny’s romance was burned to the ground by writers who held Will and his fans in contempt.
I don’t see how all the new faces they are bringing in can save the show.
Frankly, I’ve had a hard time seeing anything going on since the new writers took over. It’s not just dark in tone, it’s dark so I can’t see anything. I loved Will for all his faults and flaws, and I really hated to see so many fans turn on him for minor-for-a-soap transgressions. Guy, Freddie & Christopher carried the damn show for months with their maddening, messy and soapy triangle. I didn’t care for all Will’s actions, but Guy played the self-destructive, insecure Will to the hilt, and I think that’s why so many people had such a negative reaction… Read more »
I agree. They destroyed my confidence in this show. It is dark and depressing and full of death. Killing Will was the last straw for me, and now they have Sonny leaving Salem one day after burying Will, abandoning Arianna, and clearly setting it up for him to move on to Paul “when” he comes back. Leaving that picture on the grave was like Sonny no longer wanting to remember his “family. So sad.
My days fandom began with Will’s coming out and ends today when Sonny abandons his daughter. I had been so looking forward to the 50th Celebration, until the show sent me a clear message me and my kind weren’t welcome for the 50th.
Paul hardly counts.
I wish the best for Chandler Massey & Guy Wilson, both fine actors, as well as Freddie Smith and Christopher Sean. It sucks to be un-invited to a party.
Well said K.K! This is how I feel to0. Today (10/22/2015) is my last day watching days. I too have removed it from my pvr. I could care less what happens at the 50th celebrations because as you said, my attendance is not welcome.
Yes!!!!! That’s exactly how I feel. Un-invited. All the hype for the 50th had me excited, and then turned and said “nope, you aren’t welcome” to their glbt fans and allies. It’s very sad that in the space of a month I was hopeful of the show’s survival and now I can’t help but wish it would go away. I’m in my 40s, and I don’t think I’ve ever watched a soap or serial drama that I felt was actively telling me I was unwanted as a viewer, until now. I will say this. I find it very heartening that… Read more »
Very few of the vets are sticking around for more than a few weeks, and then a slew of brand new faces are being brought in. The killing of Will sent a pretty clear message to me that as a Will & Wilson fan I wasn’t welcome to their little party. I also think the show was idiotic not to explore the amazing chemistry between Paul and Will once Freddie/Sonny exited. But there will be no gays on Days anymore. Paul is neutered and backburned. Kassie DePavia finally really started to shine as Eve, and then they axe her. She… Read more »
So, now they’ve enraged the Wilson shippers and the Haiden shippers. I can’t wait until Bope fans react to Bo dying to service the Rope ship. That’s sure to provoke a good reaction.
I think Bo is loyal to his fans and just want closure. A lot of people complained about how he left, he came back to give us closure. I hope Bo just leave and not die.
I hope he decide to give Hope her freedom and travel the seas again.
Killing him would hurt a lot of fans. But, it’s Peter’s choice. If he decides to go, I will embrace ROPE. BUT NOT until at a least a year. LOL!
Well said kiki.The last scene today in the cemetery with Sonny showed me just what the writers/producers thought of the gay storyline. I certainly won’t be watching this show anymore.
I too am curious to see how the show will be after the anniversary because soon there will be no more Bo, Daniel and Aiden. And there might not be anymore Patch if his was short term also.
There are people missing and people who don’t belong. A Martinez and Sal Stowers don’t belong. Daniel Cosgrove, Kassie and Guy and Freddie should be there. Even Peter who I don’t care for. Shame what they did to Daniel Cosgrove. Won’t be watching the 50th. Glad Galen not in it. They are trying to make him the face of Days when he is just a Passions leftover.
I like Galen so have no problem with his character. Also he is not the “face of Days” as you call it. What the writers have done is make Galen a lead detective in the neck tie killer case. Hope can no longer be lead detective because Will was her nephew. And Rafe is the only one who does not believe Chad killed Will.
I agree Kelly, I have no problem with Rafe. He is a good cop. He seems to solve more crimes than any of them. Shane D and Rafe is number one crime solver.
A lot of people still dislikes Rafael because he married Sami Brady and had a beef with EJ. Get over it!!! EJ is DEAD I hope. They are not making him the face of anything. It’s about time he get some airtime since the Sami and EJ show hogged it all from a lot of people.
A Martinez and Sal Stowers do belong. They are part of the cast. As much as I like Freddie, I ‘d have to say unless he’s part of the cast during the week of DAYS’ 50th anniversary, there’s no need for him in the picture. Same with Guy who is definitely gone. Kassie and Daniel should be in the picture as they’ll still be featured, but their absence is not to say DAYS didn’t allow them. In fact, when the picture was taken, Kassie was far from the studio entering her son into college in the east. Daniel Cosgrove also… Read more »
I’m curious about your comment on Daniel Cosgrove. I really like him as Aiden, but I respect your knowledge of the show. Can you elaborate?
Classy, indeed! And I want to acknowledge the classy set of scenes that happened on Wed. with Hope and her fiance. As he plots to kill Hope, the fiance watches himself go through the act of killing Hope: dressing all in black with a hood and gloves, he moves through the events as he imagines how they will happen: carrying Hope (looking exquisite in a white wedding dress) over the threshold, up the stairs, onto the bed. Then he goes on the pretext of getting a bottle of champagne, “suits up,” goes upstairs and strangles Hope with a necktie. Then… Read more »
DAYS is truly thinking outside the box. They’ve been a very creative team consisting of new writers and producers!
So happy to see Meredith Scott Lynn in the cast photo! Just love her as Anne. Why is Victor posed so far from Maggie?
I love Meredith Scott Lynn as Anne. I also like Rory and T and wish they were on more often. These characters really add layers to the canvas.
In reply to your question of my comment regarding Daniel Cosgrove, MBmomof3: I liked Daniel Cosgrove, but knew DAYS always had the option of turning Aiden bad. I thought it was selfish of the actor to devulge so much story so far ahead of viewers seeing it. Viewers that follow several different soap sites have known what was going to happen several months before it happens because DC ran his mouth at a celebrity meet & greet to rile fans up. DAYS tapes 5-6 months ahead of airing and the other soaps will eventually use DAYS taping schedule as their… Read more »
4ever DAYS, Thanks for your reply. I don’t follow a lot of the soap sites or boards so I really wasn’t sure what went down at the fan event. I agree with you. I find it unprofessional and it does impact viewer response as things unfold. I admit I like a few spoilers here and there but really appreciate it when a show keeps things under wraps and it is a total surprise. That’s hard to do in this day and age of social media. I did like DC on Days, his storylines have been good, acting enjoyable and pairing… Read more »
I really hope that Anne is killed off soon. I have never liked her. She is selfish and self-centred. Everything has to revolve around her or not at all. I wonder if the reason Maggie and Victor are so far apart is because the two actors don’t get along off set at all. I’ve noticed that Suzanne Rogers and John Aniston are rarely in scenes alone together. There is always someone else in the room; Brady, Theresa etc.
I always thought Suzanne Rogers and John Aniston got along!? I read somewhere that DOOL was like a big family! Did I read and/or hear wrong?
I like Anne also. I want to see more of her and Teresa together.
Nice.
Why isn’t Suzanne sitting next to John Aniston?
Where’s Wally?
Waldo was on vacation, Mo. lol
Glaring Omissions: Peter Reckell (Bo), Wally Kurth (Justin), James Lastovic (Joey), Galen Gering (Rafe), and Arianne Zuker (Nicole)
Pictured, but not captioned: Meredith Scott Lynn (Anne)
And where’s Rafe? Not available on photo day?
Galen was also on vacation, Mo.
While this is a very great and classy photo there are a lot of actors missing. Where are Nicole, Justin, Abby, JJ? None of the new teens besides Ciara are there. Plus the picture is so small that it’s hard to make out who is who.
I am glad that Anne is there, I like her and Teresa and I hope they show more of them.
Well on People I was able to see the picture better so I see that JJ and Abby are there but not Ciara.
But Nicole, Justin and Rafe aren’t there. What is that about?
I know Daniel, Aiden and Bo aren’t there because they won’t be on the show much longer. I am surprised that Ben is still on the show though. He does play the evil serial killer VERY well though!
I have hated, hated, hated, hated every moment of the show since the new writers came aboard with the exception of good performances by Guy Wilson, Freddie Smith, Kassie DePavia, Bryan Datillo & Robert Scott Wilson. I found the stuff around Paige’s death sad enough and Will’s death felt aggressively sadistic toward Will and Wilson fans. Yes, it was homophobic and shoddy. It is also depressing and dark all around.
Now they want me to celebrate? No thank you.
DOOL is homophobia and I won’t be watching I’ve already quick they killed off Will/Guy and want fans to be happy for a show that’s homophobia not me. I don’t watch NBC at all they really don’t have any shows that I like. DOOL was the only reason I watched was because of the gay storyline and they killed that
Is Day really homophobic or is it that the writers just didn’t know how to handle a gay couple. Don’t forget, it was Ken Corday who allowed Will to come out of the closet. And it was Ken Corday who allowed Sonny and Will to get married with loved ones present.
By accident or by design, Will’s death was harsher and missing some of the key story beats that legacy characters get when they die. He died alone, terrified. No flashbacks. No goodbye with his daughter. No reunion with Sonny. People familiar with gay images in the media noticed that it hit some of the classic “punish the gay” beats that have been around forever. These tropes weren’t designed, they just developed as filmmakers learned that audiences enjoyed seeing sexually ambiguous and gay characters suffer and die. I don’t think Corday is homophobic, but I think the new writers are, and… Read more »
Gorgeous group. Just lovely.
I was a huge Steve/Kayla and Kim/Shane fan years ago. I came back to the show for Will and Sonny, but I was also looking forward to watching at least some of my old favorites on the 50th. After all, I thought, General Hospital did a great job with their 50th, and I was sure Days would do the same. But apparently those of us who loved WilSon, and a non-neutered Paul, are no longer welcome; Days apparently wants to throw our part of the audience away, just as Will was thrown away in a garbage bag.
as long as JJ is in the pic! hope the new team gives jj a meaty new story after the dropped his drug storyline and paige as his love intrest! jj s the best young actor on days !!!
The pic itself is fine, I guess. Missing some people and some newbies aren’t really representative of the 50th. I am disappointed with the show in general. Too much doom and gloom. Several actors are casualties of vets being brought back. Some of these vets are short term and new actors being brought in. Stories recycled. Losing Daniel Cosgrove is a big mistake just to give Peter Reckell his hero moment and save Hope yet again. Same old story. Cosgrove can act given proper material. Dena Higley making it the Rafe hour is another mistake. Look how well that worked… Read more »
I also think that Aiden was sacrificed in order to bring back Bo. But Peter Reckell only agreed to return to Days for 13 weeks. So that means Bo will be leaving Salem again sometime in December. The only question will be if Bo leaves alive. The writers will have to do something because Hope cannot live the rest of her life alone longing for the return of Bo. It’s not fair to her.
Disgusted by this pic and Griffley’s gay cleansing. The character that earned three Emmys in a row and the first gay married couple and family axed right before the big anniversary, and everyone is laughing in our faces just like they tweeted a picture of actors laughing and smirking while Griffley’s murder of Will was airing. Of course the ratings went up (a bit, still bad in women 18-49, Tomsell*s ratings were better during the summer!) because hundreds of thousands tuned in for Will, Sonny and Sami, but now it’s mass exodus and I’ll never watch this show again as… Read more »
DAYS won best show last year… because of their submission of Will and Sonny wedding… a big part of their success… had to be a big reason the show was last renewed
There is no way I will celebrate a show that just murdered my favorite character in such a horrible undignified manner. I started watching before teenage Will came back on canvas but it was Will’s coming out story and WilSon’s love story that made me fall in love with the show. I liked Chandler as Will but I loved Guy’s Will (in fact he may have played him too well the past ten months). Will and WilSon meant so much to so many in the gay community but they were torn apart by the writers. Will was an iconic character… Read more »
One of the things that saddens me the most is that Will, Sonny and Paul had a pretty normal soap love triangle thing going and Will really didn’t do anything to earn the hatred he got from fans and writers. He misbehaved a little and was hated more than the evil characters on the show. The previous writers seemed to think they could treat gay characters equally and that Will could be a love-to-hate character. I think they succeeded but that got drowned out by nasty voices from team bigot and team self-hatred. I think many in the gay community… Read more »
repeat overload
it would have warmed my heart to see Daniel Cosgrove and Kassie DePaiva
period
otherwise
I love them… the cast
the cast
the acting is superlative and near 110%
what a huge pic to showcase TALENT
It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Even if my beloved Eileen Davidson returns to show, I will not watch. The anti-gay agenda is and was pretty obvious. Kudos to A. Sweeney for speaking out against Will’s death. I will not watch this show again. Nice picture though.
I am grateful that I have been able to share my reaction to the Will’s End Daysaster here at MichaelFairmanSoaps, and I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has posted to express outrage at Day’s decision to kill Will in this crass fashion right before the 50th anniversary celebrations. I consider myself lucky to find out that there are a great many people who are also revolted by this, and see the outright crassness of it, and know in their bones that this is a HUGE mistake for Days, and I am really heartened by this discovery of… Read more »
Where is justin, adrienne and bo?
Wally Kurth (Justin) was on vacation. Judi Evans (Adrienne) is pictured. She’s the first from the left, sitting on the bench next to John Aniston (Victor). Peter Reckell (Bo) was unreachable.
