So many fans have been posting comments to us, and all over social media, about what Days of our Lives’ move to Peacock in the U.S. on September 12th, means for longtime Canadian viewers.

Now, it appears that DAYS will be seen beginning September 12th as well, on the W Network in Canada.

Check out details on the W Network website here.

The long-running NBC soap can also be streamed on STACKTV and the Global app.

Additionally, a tweet from TV Watercooler’s entertainment writer, Jeevan Brar confirmed the news when he noted: “#DAYS moves to @w_network beginning September 12 in Canada. Will also stream on STACKTV and the Global app.”

So, glad to know where to catch DAYS in Canada? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Good Lord someone please tell the people on Facebook. I can’t even read the comments anymore. Now they’re complaining that they already have Peacock and won’t get the 1.99 price. They are never ever happy about anything.

I wish people would stop saying this is doomed comparing it to AMC and OLTL. This is entirely different. If we play our cards right perhaps we could get more soaps in this new format. I truly believe Network Television will come to an end in the not so distant future and everything will be streamed.

I think Peacock Days has more and better support than the online reboots of AMC and OLTL did (with ABC fighting Prospect Park over who owned the OLTL characters, what chance did the Prospect Park version of either show have, really?); whether that will be enough to ensure Peacock Days’ success remains to be seen, but I do think NBC wants it to succeed, and that’s something.

Whether I’d actually want more soaps in this new format is hard to say. I don’t mind too much about the paying-for-it part or the streaming part; I pay now to stream reruns of The Doctors (and would gladly pay to stream reruns of other old soaps if they were made available). What’s not clear to me is whether “new soaps” will feel enough like the “old soaps” (and I’m not talking about the sad network versions of the last few decades; I’m talking about soaps when they were GOOD; think mid-70s to maybe mid-90s), and have enough of the elements of the old soaps that made them worth watching, to make me want to pay and tune in. I haven’t seen a whole lot about Peacock Days anywhere but here, but what I have seen on here seems to be suggesting that TPTB are going to lean heavily on the titillation factor (“We can do things we couldn’t do on network television!”) to get viewers, rather than solid storytelling about relatable characters (played by excellent actors) in believable situations. If that proves true, (1) I’m back to thinking soaps are doomed and (2) I certainly wouldn’t pay for it, as it won’t be any more compelling that what I’m seeing now. So basically, we’ll see. If your prediction proves to be right, and this is how soaps essentially get saved after all (after years and years of nothing but cancellations, budget cuts, and other bad news), that’d be great, because I maintain that the audience for soaps is still out there, largely untapped. I’m just not sure TPTB will know how to attract that audience any more on a streaming platform than they do on the networks.

Which does raise, incidentally, a very interesting question whose answer I’ll be interested to see: will my (62-year-old) viewership mean more on a streaming platform than it has in a good long while on network TV? I got used a long time ago (though I’ve always resented it) to the idea that the day I turned 31, my eyeballs meant a lot less to the network execs, who only cared about eyeballs attached to bodies 30 years old and younger. But $1.99 (or $4.99 or $7.99 or whatever it turns out to be) is $1.99 no matter the age of the person who is shelling it out; does that mean I’ll now be part of an audience they’ll care about attracting, or will TPTB keep pursuing the young folks and be unable to adapt to a different way of looking at things? My bet is on the latter, but I’d be delighted to be proven wrong about that.

I am very happy, I live in Vancouver BC, Canada. Still can watch Days on Global TV and I also watch Y&R same format.I hope we get Days for more years to come.

It’s good to know that if I decide that I want to watch the show again that it will be available to me in Saskatchewan

Why can’t Days of our lives simply stay with Global TV?

I’ve been watching Days on the W channel thru stack tv for a month and now since last week there hasn’t been any new episodes available to watch???? Anyone know why?

I would like to know also. because I will cancel Stack TV next week if no new DOOL

I’d also like to know and have been searching online for the answer. I’ll cancel it next month if I can’t stream it on Stack anymore. Residents in the US are complaining that it will cost them an extra $4 (or$1.99?) and I’m paying an extra $15 for Stack TV just so that I can watch DOOL. Now this past week there have been no episodes at all? I wish I could just pay for and get Peacock instead! I feel like I’ve been ripped off!

Same here. I only have Stack so I can watch DOOL and it is showing any episodes from last week.

Days of our Lives Star, Greg Vaughan, Gives Health Update and Thanks Everyone for Their Support

Greg Vaughan (Eric, Days of our Lives, ex-Lucky, GH, and ex-Diego, Y&R) provided an update on his health on Sunday, March 17th. Vaughan had previously shared that he had become ill during a trip with his sons to Colorado, and had developed altitude sickness when he was having trouble breathing accompanied by terrible headaches and landed in the urgent care.

Now on St. Patrick’s Day, Greg took to his Instagram and shared how he is feeling now, and to thank everyone for their love and support.  As it turned out, Vaughan was diagnosed with high altitude pulmonary edema, commonly known as HAPE. However, he is on the mend slowly and surely.

In his new video post, the DAYS favorite started by expressing, “I just felt such an appreciation and gratitude for everything. . reaching out. Your prayers have been felt. It’s been a struggle, but I’m over the top. And, taking this moment just to say I didn’t realize the things that I was going through. My (original) post was simply just to educate, put some information out there and some things that I was feeling, just share that information and the struggle that I was going through, which I didn’t quite understand. And it wasn’t because I’m stubborn or just because I’m a father, a man, and didn’t want to go to a doctor. It is just something I thought was so minor that I could overcome it, just by taking care of myself.”

The Daytime Emmy winner then revealed his actual diagnosis, “So, basically my situation was high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). With some good friends, doctors that had reached out to me, it kind of gave me some understanding on the aftermath, which was very, very beneficial.”

“But I’ve been resting, taking care of myself even though I live in a hamster wheel,” said the dad of three teenaged boys. “I gotta get up and, you know, do my normal domesticated stuff, eventually. I’m tired of laying down in this bed, but, I am feeling much better.”

Talking on his confusion of trying to understand what could have been ailing him, Vaughan expressed, “I couldn’t quite figure it out, even though I was emphasizing and professing to my children going on our spring break getaway about hydration. I professed it. But, even though I was acting on it, it had a greater effect on me, and for which I did not even think, because my head was such in pain, and I was in a very bad state of mind – not being able to be out there with my kids on the mountain, enjoying their time, as well. I thought I was doing the right thing. Unfortunately, my lungs were full of fluids and my head was in severe pain and even migraine pills didn’t even help. So, I just want anybody that goes into the Colorado Mountains to know, it is no joke. It is this very serious thing which I guess is why they call it the Mile High City.”

Greg had a mountain of ‘thank you’s’ to give for the outreach he received from his original post, “For everybody internationally, wherever you are, I love you and I appreciate you and just the time and the thoughts that you’ve shared with me,” said Vaughan. “I didn’t realize that it would make such an impression on so many people around the world. I feel tremendously loved and I can’t say it enough. I’m good. And I appreciate you.”

The actor concluded his video with, “To all the family and friends that have reached out to me, man, it means the world. So take care of yourself, enjoy your spring break with your families. It’s Saint Patty’s Day, obviously. I wish I could be out there.” Vaughan added, “I feel loved and touched and I can’t emphasize that enough. I’ll take better care of myself, promise you will do the same.” Before he signed off, Greg shared, “Just know, that I’m alive and well and breathing, and I’m sore. So, be well, take care. I mean it. Thank you, tremendously.”

Glad to know that Greg has been on the mend, and shared his appreciation for everyone that reached out to him during this trying time? Comment below.

Scott Evans, host of Access Hollywood and the Peacock reality series Couple to Throuple, will make a guest appearance this week on Days of our Lives.

Circle the Thursday, March 21st episode of DAYS for Evans’ arrival in Salem.

Teasers for the 3/21 episode of DAYS share that Leo tries to come up with his next gossip column, and Paulina and Abe return home to a mini-celebration set up by Johnny and Steve. Will Evans pop up in one of those scenarios? Stay tuned.

Days of our Lives Star Greg Vaughan Shares Sudden Health Scare: “I Truly Feel Like I Work & Live in a Soap Opera!”

What started out as an adventure with his sons, quickly turned into a nightmare for Days of our Lives Daytime Emmy winner, Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady).

In a series of Instagram posts, Vaughan shared the sudden health crisis he found himself in.  The images show Greg with an oxygen tank to help him breathe.

The actor began to fill people, sharing, “I’ve said more than a few times, I truly feel like I work & live in a Soap Opera! 🤪 this trip was nothing short of another great Vaughan adventure!”

He went on to say that on a father and son Colorado spring break trip, he began to feel shortness of breath, feeling tired and with a headache and after two days of hoping he would feel better, Vaughan finally went to an Urgent Care to get checked out.

“I finally surrendered & went to urgent care and to my shock I learned that I was experiencing severe altitude sickness.” Vaughan admitted. “My Blood Oxygen was at 54% & my lungs were full of fluids! Blood oxygen, also known as oxygen saturation, represents the percentage of hemoglobin in your red blood cells that is carrying oxygen. Most people have an oxygen level of 95-100%….”

Providing more detail to his health scare, Greg shared, “Well, 4hrs later, a couple of bags of IV & oxygen tank strapped to my face, I was told that I needed to immediately get off the mountain! However I couldn’t, we still had another day to go & wanting the boys to enjoy their last day on the hill tops! I opted to go home with an oxygen tank, a good laugh for everyone, and I know will follow, but my boys looked after their old man & fortunately they had friends on this trip!”

The experience of altitude sickness in the Colorado Rockies gave Vaughan a bit of a new perspective, “In all seriousness, no matter your age, and all the times I’ve ⛷️ & 🏂 in my lifetime, Colorado Rockies is no joke! As they say, ‘ take a breathe and smell the roses!’ That is truly something we need to remember & appreciate! #recover”

Share your well-wishes to Greg as he continues to be on the mend via the comment section below.
