DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Whitley to Marlena, “How Can I Not Know Who You Are! You’re Just The Queen Diva of My Favorite Soap Opera”
On Thursday’s July 27th recap of Days of our Lives, Marlena (Deidre Hall) comes to visit Whitley (Kim Coles) who is in the interrogation room at the Salem PD. Whitley, who has had a psychotic break, sees the good doc walk in and exclaims, “Oh, my heavens. What are you doing here?”
Whitley is beyond thrilled to see her. Marlena asks if she knows who she is, and Whitley says, “How can I not know who you are? You’re just the queen diva of my favorite soap!” In the twist, Whitley believes Marlena is Charlemagne Delacroix from Body & Soul. And of course, in actuality, Whitley is correct. For it was Deidre Hall as Charlemagne in the fictitious soapy send up that Abe (James Reynolds) was watching while in captivity at Whitley’s apartment.
In the present, Marlena tells Whitley she is a psychiatrist who is here to help her. She explains that she knows that Whitley blames herself for her husband’s death, which is why she tried to replace him with Abe. Marlena also tells Whitley, she’s not Paulina Price. That in fact, she is Whitley King.

It’s at that moment that Whitley voices: “But I don’t want to be Whitley King.” She knows that if she is Whitley that means she killed her husband and has nothing to live for. A guilt-ridden Whitley doesn’t feel she deserves help, but Marlena says otherwise.
Suddenly, the door flings open and the real Paulina (Jackée Harry) enters the interrogation room. Paulina intensely informs Whitley that Abe doesn’t even recognize her, as he still has amnesia even after being rescued. Whitley states, “If there’s anything I can do to help.” At the moment, Paulina bitch-slaps her, adding, “You can shut your damn mouth!” Marlena tells Paulina to leave, but before she does she rants at Whitley for the hurt she has caused her family and specifically, Abe.

So, what did you think of the Whitley’s line to Marlena being the ‘queen diva’ of her favorite soap, which is also referring to Deidre Hall’s reign as the longtime favorite on Days of our Lives? Comment below.
I loved the episodes of Body & Soul. So much fun!
I don’t think they portray real life situations for example when loni as saying good bye to her father & Paulina b 4 going back to prison. She didn’t give her brother Theo hug,which in real ife she would have. I am also tired of having to wait a week or more to learn what happened in a Friday cliff hanger. i.e., when Loni found Abe, we had to wait more than a week to find out what happened. They drag things out for too long….I know it is for ratings & to build suspense, but sometimes it is carried to far. Also when Loni was missing, the first thing they would have done was check location of ankle monitor.
DAYS really feels like a parody of itself. It has for a long time. Nothing can be taken seriously anymore, everything is pure camp and played for unintentional laughs. This story was ridiculous from the get-go, and the callback to Marlena being possessed REALLY didn’t help.
Things have gotten beyond ridiculous. I should have stopped watching when they did that absurd devil story. I don’t know how the writers weren’t fired. Now they expect us to believe that Kristen’s litany of crimes from drugging Sarah to kidnapping and multiple jailbreaks are ignored because some fancy footwork got her pardoned, but she gets full custody when it was never requested. Charges were never brought against Brady for the gun, so legally, he also has a clean slate, and anyway, threats don’t compare to what Kristen did. No judge would ever bring Phillip into it because the situation was not related to Rachel and again, not guilty. If anything, she should have declared both of them unsafe and put the kid in a foster home, which would have created more compelling drama. Realistically, Rachel has hardly spent any time with Kristen, who has been too busy evading the law and spending time in prison to bond with her daughter, so there is no reason for Rachel to be so adamant about wanting to be with her mother. Also, she wanted her parents to be together so it doesn’t make sense for her to suddenly go against Brady. All in all, poor writing.
I think Whitley really is a sick woman. Once she gets the proper help, she could be arecurring character we see from time to time.

Serena Scott Thomas to Days of our Lives, But What Role Will She Play?
Look who’s coming to Salem next? In a tease on their official Instagram account, Days of our Lives has revealed that Serena Scott Thomas has been on set and will debut in an upcoming role, leaving many fans guessing just who might she play.
The English actress and documentary producer has previously starred in Diana, Her Story as Diane Prince of Wales, Dr. Molly Warmflash in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, and played the villainess ‘Watcher” in Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, and Bruce Willis’ wife in the film, Hostages among others.
Serena is the younger sister of Kristen Scott Thomas, best known for her Oscar-nominated role in The English Patient. Several DAYS fans are already weighing in that Serena will play Konstantine’s (John Kaeplos) wife.

However, NannyKat 63 may have it all figured out the best, when she posted, that not only will “Serena play Kostantine’s wife,” but the character “had an affair with Victor Kiriakis and got pregnant.” Thus, making Xander (Paul Telfer) her son. She went on to theorize, “Perhaps, And John and Steve will find her in the nick of time… and she’ll enter in time to stop the wedding of Maggie to him. Xander will find out his true identity then. The baby was given to Victor’s brother to be raised in Scotland.”

Sounds plausible to us! Another guess came from donnamoore_23 who said, “Ya’ll think he could be Bobberette ‘s mom or sister or .. SOMETHING to do with his story .. someone who can back up what trauma he went through to be so sick? 🤷🏼♀️ but I think y’all are right could be Katerina.”

Two DAYS stars, Tamara Braun (Ava) and Linsey Godfrey (Sarah) also shared comments on Serena Scott Thomas’ upcoming appearance on DAYS. Godfrey simply said, “YES!!!! while Braun add her guess, expressing, “Ava’s mum. Oh wait, her mom was killed by her dad. Or was she? 🤔”
So, what do you think? What role will Serena Scott Thomas play on Days of our Lives? Share your theories in the comment section below.

Arianne Zucker Reveals Her Last Days of our Lives Airdate
Arianne Zucker, who is no longer on contract with Days of our Lives, and involved in a lawsuit against the show, took to her You Tube channel and in her latest episode, and offered up what she believes is her final airdate as Nicole Walker DiMera.
The actress expressed: “I was really appreciative of the amount of support that I have had since leaving Days of our Lives.” She then added, “My last airdate, I think, it’s July 29th and we’ll see how things go after that.”
Zucker went on to say how she has continued to receive overwhelming support since suing her former employer, Corday Productions, with the allegations that former Co-EP Albert Alarr sexually harassed her and other females at the show, and that the production company entity did not respond sufficiently and adequately.

After lodging her complaints, Zucker said her agents received two notices that Corday Productions were reducing her pay before her character was ultimately written off. Zucker’s contract expired in January and since DAYS tapes over six months ahead it brings her final airdate, which as of now, to the end of July. Zucker is suing for harassment, discrimination, retaliation, negligent hiring and supervision, and wrongful termination among other claims.
Previously, Corday Productions issued this statement on Zucker’s claims: “The allegations in Ms. Zucker’s lawsuit are without merit. Corday Productions, offered to renew Ms. Zucker’s contract including offering her a pay increase. Rejecting Ms. Zucker’s counteroffer does not constitute retaliation. Complaints about Mr. Alarr’s on-set behavior were promptly investigated. Corday Productions fully cooperated with the impartial investigation and subsequently terminated Mr. Alarr.”
On her You Tube channel, Arianne went on to thank everyone who came out to the east coast fan event last weekend that featured several DAYS stars. She expressed, “My whole goal is to really help people stand up for themselves.” Arianne also shared she thinks it’s important for people who have gone through trauma to help each other through it.

On DAYS, Nicole is still in the dark that Sloan (Jessica Serfaty) is raising her child, Jude, with Eric (Greg Vaughan), and Eric also doesn’t know that he is raising his biological son. Will Eric and Nicole reunite and will Nicole find out what Sloan, Melinda and Leo (Greg Rikaart) have been hiding for months, before she exits the show? Stay tuned. There has been on official confirmation from DAYS that July 29th is Zucker’s final airdate.
You can check out Ari’s latest episode from her You Tube Channel below.
Now let us know, do you think somehow DAYS and Arianne will work these out and she will somehow be back on the show? What do you think Nicole’s exit will look like? Do you think they will recast? Let us know in the comment section below.
