Days of our Lives Heartbreaking Promo: Victor Kiriakis Has Perished
On Friday’s cliffhanger of Days of our Lives, while at the Kiriakis mansion with the family, Justin (Wally Kurth) receives a phone call and returns to to tell the others that Victor’s plane has gone missing.
This sets the stage for how the long-running soap opera kills-off the iconic character of Victor Kiriakis, played for 37 years by the late John Aniston, who passed away on November 11th, 2022.
As previously reported, Victor perishes in a plane crash and next week his family and loved ones are grief-stricken including his wife, Maggie (Suzanne Rogers), along with Alex (Rob Scott Wilson), Justin (Wally Kurth) and Xander (Paul Telfer) among others.

Take a look at the just released Days of our Lives promo for the week of August 14th below.
Then let us know, will you be reaching for the hankies as Maggie and the Kiriakis clan learn about their beloved Victor? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Hoping Freddie Prince comes back short term for the memorial as he had several years of scenes with John Aniston. Gosh, Days is not the same without Victor. Looking forward to the sad upcoming episodes. It will give us the audience to grieve Victor and John.
Freddie Smith is a realtor in Orlando, FL now. He did not come back for any scenes on the show, but he posted (on social media) a nice tribute to John Aniston back when he died last year.
A realtor in Florida??
Between climate change & the insurance industry bailing on the entire state, and the lunatic fascist that has taken over the government, I wonder if Freddie regrets that career choice?
Even with all the strikes going on, acting looks like a stable career compared to that!
And even with all that, real estate here in FL has continued to increase in value (go figure)–so for the moment, at least, he’s probably doing fine. It can’t last forever, however. I’m getting out of here as soon as I can. The lunatic fascist is bad enough, but property insurance that goes up $2,000 in one year (and I’m not anywhere close to water or anything), and no plan that I can see to fix the insurance problems, is quickly gonna get too rich for my blood.

I haven’t watched since the show was taken from my channel, but read the news from time to time. I just want to leave my thoughts on Victor’s death. I was wondering how they would do it. I was appaled at this plane crash crap. Why couldn’t he have been found by a family member ” sound asleep” in his chair? Guess it wouldn’t have hurt his family enough, huh?
The fact that Victor’s body wasn’t found means that DOOL may be considering a recast.
I don’t see that happening at all.
They found his body today.
There could never be another Victor on this show or Y&R.

Writers Strike Comes to an End; Leadership Votes To Conclude Work Stoppage
It’s over! After 148 days, the 2023 Writers strike will go down as the second longest in WGA union history, only a labor stoppage in 1988 was longer.
The strike will officially come to end on Wednesday at 12:01am PT. This was due to a vote from the guild’s leadership that now has authorized its over 11,500 members to return to work.
That means: pitching and selling scripts, taking meetings, responding to notes, writers’ rooms opening up again, and more, can now restart.

The WGA committee shared that the vote, “Allows writers to return to work during the ratification process, but does not affect the membership’s right to make a final determination on contract approval.” However, WGA East and West voted unanimously to lift the “restraining order” on Tuesday.
As the negotiators shared, the end of the strike doesn’t mean that the tentative agreement that the union reached with producers on Sunday night is a surefire thing: Union members still need to vote to ratify the contract. Union leadership announced on Tuesday that will take place between October 2nd and October 9th.

However, SAG-AFTRA still remains on strike. So, even with the writers returning to work, many productions can’t move forward without their principal actors and performers.
So soap fans, how do you feel about this news for your favorite shows? Glad that the head writers and their writing teams will be back at work as soon as this week from Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and The Bold and the Beautiful? Y&R’s Josh Griffith, who previously had gone Fi-Core during the 2008 strike, remained at the top rated show during the last several months.
