It was a sorrowful week on Days of our Lives, but a big week for the NBC daytime drama series about to celebrate its 50th anniversary in just a few weeks time!

The long-running series garnered its most watch week in 19 months for the ratings week of October 12-16th.  The episodes surrounded the murder of Will Horton (Guy Wilson), and his loved ones dealing with the fallout including: return appearances by fan favorites, Alison Sweeney (Sami) and Freddie Smith (Sonny).  The week featured dramatic and emotional performances from the DAYS cast in a storyline move that has been met with an onslaught of social media reactions on the decision to kill the legacy and LGBT character of Will.

According to NBC press release, DAYS scored very strong with a major increase of  2,647 million total viewers for the ratings period.  Additionally, the daytime drama matched its top-rated week among women 18-49 in nine months, and hit a 19-month high in total viewers.

For the week of Oct. 12-16, Days of our Lives (0.80 rating, 6 share among women 18-49, 0.46 rating among women 18-34) ranked #5 among network daytime series in the women 18-49 demographic and #6 in the women 18-34 race, according to “live plus same day” viewing figures from Nielsen Media Research.

Scoring  2,647 million total viewers makes the episodes the most-watched week for Days of our Lives since the week of March 3-7, 2014 (2,717 million viewers). Among women 18-49, DAYS earned its highest rating in five weeks (since the week of Sept. 7-11, 0.80) and equaled its high in nine months (since Jan. 12-16, 0.86).

So, what do you think of DAYS ratings performance? Will it be all uphill and continue to increase as we head into the major story for the 50th anniversary celebration?  Share your thoughts and reactions to the numbers in the comment section below!

It has been a very sad week on the show but I am waiting to see what happens. I can’t wait to see what happens when Bo gets back. I have watched the show since it first started and I love it.

I can’t wait for Bo to get back either. Sadly, Peter Reckell is back for only 13 weeks which means that Bo will be leaving Salem again sometime in December. Peter Reckell, after 17 year as Bo, wants to move on.

Oh, Bo will be back just in the nick of time. He will save Hope from Aiden’s necktie.

Ready for some more killings..

Definitely will happen.

lol Tin S..
soaps are really really really boring with couples and love gone wrong junk..
Give a soap some darn good murders, shooting, stranglings and WALLA up goes the numbers! lol
younger people of the 21st century era of media just do not like loooooooooong love conversations and couples problems, they like action, intrigue, gripping stories.

tv and movies no longer have much involved love stories because it just not wanted.
soaps need to get out of the 80’s and into the 21st century if they are to get new viewers,

And, Su. That’s exactly what’s wrong with Daytime programming. You do have a Lust/penchant for the macabre. What younger people are you talking about…of the 21st Century, you say? Well, isn’t that rich? No, Su, normal teens are not interested in crime stories, unless they are mentally unstable. You said once that your parents were both psychiatrists. I am more than certain, that is not what they advocate. C’mon, susu….really? I am a ‘younger’ person…I like action/adventure/fantasy, but I dislike crime/gore. When I watch a show that intrigues me, I cover my eyes during the ‘bad’ stuff.

This sounds great until you read the actual numbers in the article. Sounds like Days is still last place among the remaining 4 daytime soaps, so killing off Will Horton didn’t elevate the show in that regard — but it did create a firestorm of bad press on social media. Highest rated episode in 19 months, really sad considering it wasn’t highly rated then either. I hope it was worth killing off a legacy character, doesn’t sound like it, though.

DAYS has been in last place for years! Nothing new there. I would like to see them overtake GH because GH has been SO bad lately and DAYS has been SO good, but maybe the word just isn’t getting out fast enough. DAYS’ ratings do seem to be improving week-to-week.

Days has not been last for years. You go 2009 or 2010 and they were not in last place. They were not last place in the 90s

DAYS is spectacular!!!!!

YesterDAYS (10-21-15) episode involving Aiden’s murderous visualization was absolutely spellbinding!!!!!

I “Hope” everything turns out alright!!!!!

I wholehearted agree that Aiden’s visualization of his killing of hope was spellbounding–marvelously done, giving shading to the character and allowing the viewer to connect emotionally to the scene.

Days is succeeding for one simple reason–it is continuing to give the viewers what they have always wanted–great stories, great acting, great writing, get scene setups, and the characters they want to see–and–no small thing–giving legacy characters their dues. Patch kissed Kayla! We viewers believe now that there will be a happy ending for them. Patch is going to bring Bo home. Evil will be punished; Ben will be caught, and Abby and Chad will also reconcile. We want to see these great, emotional, well-planned characterizations and plot lines. Most importantly, we want the show to have a moral center where evil is punished and good rewarded. Cheers to Days for treating the viewer with respect and for honoring and appreciating the longtime viewers who has stuck with the show and are coming back to it in droves. Go, Days! I’m watching and savoring your well done shows and can’t wait to see each day–it’s “like old times”!

I know, maddiehayes. At first, I was taken aback…confused. I had the TV on, but I wasn’t paying much attention as I was doing other stuff….then, when my brain settled on the show? spellbinding, indeed….riveting. It was soooo very clever what ‘they’ did. I was floored by the sheer outstanding staging of that scene. For Aiden to go over his sequence of action/activity was a stroke of ingenious madness.

Well all of this controversy over Will definitely worked out, 19 months ago was when Kristen, EJ and Sami were still on. Since this is about last week’s ratings we can’t count Sami as part of the spike cause correct me if I’m wrong but she was on this week.

Why weren’t ratings released for last week though? It wasn’t even on soapoperanetwork website like it usually is.

Great news!

Sounds like they are starting to make a “killing” in the ratings…but will it all “die” down after the 50th and be a “slow death” as once again Days will get “strangled” by the competition and remain “buried” in 4th place?… maybe Days and GH could end in a “tie” for third?…lol

Wow! Enjoy that war of words–you “slay” me–clever. Are those shows calling you yet for your writing expertise? LOL

Clever.

Very good, “Jimmy!”

you really treat us to humor….

with all our inner mindset carrying drama ; at the forefront

you frontburner us with laughter

Well, now. Here goes the jimh we all know and love. Your play-on-words (puns) surely made a “killing”. LOL. luv-ya, Jimmy.

Glad to see people are tuning in. The performers deserve it. The cast are giving it their all IMO.

gosh, aren’t they tho

leaves me … awestruck and wanting the best for my show of shows

“every” actor who has shared on this blog… plus tweets

on just how excited they are with the scripts and the energy at the studio…

dang it tho… DAYS is headlining … so it is!

my favorite pastime… is Happy

Patrick, I’m so happy that your show is bringing you joy. It’s a pleasure to read your posts. I’m loving Days too. Soapy goodness. 🙂

Days faces ratings challenges that the other soaps don’t, due to the affiliates scheduling and it not airing at all in some major markets. I would love to see it overtake GH because it is the superior show IMO.

Very good week. But days must follow through on the EJ is alive story

I recently started watching Days again when I
Heard Steve and Bo were coming back.
I was shocked Will was murdered, I know many
Didn’t like the actor, I feel the character had been
Written horribly and ruined with his affairs, but
Killing him? I just hope Lucas gets a much needed
Story out of this.

My prediction: By December, the ratings will have tanked and in January the show will announce they are canceled with a final air date in September.

Really?

Honestly, these numbers seem like heavy spin by NBC, but it’s nice that Days is on an upswing. It sure beats the alternative. Fingers crossed that this eventually leads to some kind of renewal for the show.

“fingers crossed…”

bar none

this simply has to be it

renewed energy vim and vigor and leading daytime

NBC / Sony / Days of OUR Lives

hey! if NBC is lauding their achievement… let it be

It should be obvious by now that beloved vets, romance and good writing is what brings in the viewers. March 3-7, 2014, saw the return of Drake Hogestyn as John Black. Nicole & Eric had some romantic moments. That alone would have been enough for me to tune in. As someone else noted, EJ and Sami were still on in those days. They were a very popular pair, and DAYS burned a lot of bridges with their fans in the way their exit was handled. Even though I’m a Lumi fan forever, I am glad to see DAYS has taken small steps towards correcting the Ejami fiasco. Last week’s episodes were all about the murder of Will, which was heartbreaking, but the performances, especially from Bryan Dattilo, were wonderful. I’m glad to see the ratings up, because DAYS is definitely “must-see TV” again.

Well they would be in big trouble if that story and fall out didn’t bump up the numbers– but whether those numbers hold in the weeks to come will be the real issue.

I am finding the story telling to be a bit uneven. Some episodes are so compelling that sometimes I watch them again later in the afternoon via time shifting on my satellite, then the next day I am falling asleep in the middle of it— I like to see the pacing improve–right now they are way too much time of somethings (like Daniel and Nicole doing a dance routine that reminded me of a bad episode of Dancing with the Stars– I mean Nicole isn’t a young heroine discovering love for the first time, so for me the number just didn’t fit her character or Daniel’s. It wasn’t romantic it was boring)—and not enough time on the scenes I did hope to have more meat to them, (like Caroline finding out her great grandson was dead.)

But still looking forward to the 50th

“…I am finding the story telling to be a bit uneven ”

I feel like i’m watching two shows

the days of ole and the new DAYS , ie: August 17, 2015

full steam ahead….

ie: DAYS of ole

??? huh? whenever they show… (what carried? DAYS… and I can no longer stand… and no longer, find interesting… ) because their was so much of them…

Daniel, Eric, Brady, Nicole, and Jennifer

to watch them now… they haven’t even integrated them at all with the new storylines and new actors… is that telling?

I was embarassed watching Daniel and Nicole (dancing with the stars) number… seriously… this is how they star?

all these two have done… is … goo goo eyes at each other… as they have yet to figure out a wedding date… and oomph… oh… let’s choose valentines day to make them too special

Eric and Brady…. ??? I still like them and believe they have character value… but how? will the writers delve in to and prop them… if it’s possible?

as for Jennifer Horton? I know I’m tired and over Bambi stuck in headlights… no magic to draw on… ever

I’d offer … they let these 5 actors go… and rehire… Kassie DePaiva and Daniel Cosgrove

ie: it’s been 2 months in on the new show
since August 17, 2015

i’ve read that it takes upwards of 2 to 6 months for the stronghold of new to take

i’m seeing a rebirth

“another” well done ep’…. DAYS production is treating

Daniel Cosgrove’ Aiden; is this days current new leading man…. the natural ease he shares on screen with Hope… is astronomical… look at how happy Hope is… ( do you think, she’d lend/help him out with money, if she wasn’t ? )

my first thought after that well done production that DAYS treated us to …
That Aiden realizes what the heck he’s doing !!!! stop … what ails you and live in this new life of yours… with your new lover/fiance… and his son, with Ciara

how can a person not know… what he has?

I just hope this is the catalyst that turns him around

it’s A list acting…

I know the writing is on the wall

but… it’s a huge part of the DAYS canvas that has to start all over again… Kristian Alfonso is being asked to carry a huge part of what makes up DAYS… history, veteran, character acknowledge… and a part of the generation mix in Salem…

for days to throw Aiden and Hope away… doesn’t make sense

I so wanted Bo to reunite with Lauren Boles’ Ciara Alice… Rafe certainly won’t have the same magic, with her as well

I’m critiquing my favorite pass time, too much so

it was magic all the same… to see one of my favorite couples… shine

Daniel Cosgrove is an undeniable carry of this show…

after Eve
after Clyde
with Ben still imploding

Now DC’ Aiden is stealing the show

Patrick I agree. Days is shooting its self in the foot with getting rid of D.Cosgrove. he and Hope have great on screen chemistry>Bo is not staying, so let him and Hope reunite for a while, and when its over get back with Aiden. Also shouldn’t Bo come home to a daughter he shared the screen with before.

I disagree with both of you. Daniel Cosgrove is talented, but every show he has been on is last couple of years has been canceled. Get my drift. The writers half be given some credit for his performances, they give him enough meaty story to act out.

Kudos to all the actors. They have given outstanding performances after Will’s murder. Poor Lucas is just breaking my heart. I can’t stand it. He is just devastated by the loss of his son. I hope Adrienne can help him.

Llanviewer717
You said it perfectly. Bravo to Bryan R Dattilo, who is my favorite actor on Days and has truly been brilliant and I hope he submits his recent material for Emmy consideration. Watching his utter devastation upon the loss of his son Will has been utterly unbearable, as you stated. It was especially cruel, coming so soon after Adrienne broke up with him. As it appears she has finally concluded that her marriage to Justin is not salvageable–and has already reached out to comfort him–I sincerely hope that they will rekindle their beautiful romance. It’s so hard to watch such a sweet guy spending most of his life alone when he obviously has a great deal of love to give.
Finally, as a longtime Lumi fan, I was looking forward to much more storyline between Lucas and Sami (with Alison Sweeney’s recent return visit) with them helping each other cope with the death of their son. Alas, it surely seemed like Sami was more profoundly interested and invested in E.J.’s letter and venturing off to Switzerland to pursue whatever leads she might find about him.
In any event, I join you in wishing Lucas a happier future with Adrienne right by his side.

The next week will be the true tell. Did they piss off enough viewers by killing Will to have a ratings drop.

It’s like a train wreck. People watch just to see what is happening. Unfortunately they will still end up losing alot of long time fans like me. I bet in 2-3 months they will have the worst ratings ever.

I have watched the show for 30 years, and I was devastated! I just keep watching for a new twist that wl make me happy.b I was really angry with so much death!!

Judi Evans STARs

LOL…. my dream lady… oh there are so many… I stand by my post… she’s 1 of 2 in Salem

yes ! alongside my Mary Beth Evans…. these gals forefront lead and pull me

they make me smile beam laugh and yearn for romance

simply radiant

Adrienne pulled out all the stops… even if… Justin and Sonny, emphatically stated she doesn’t put herself first…

oy! she wasn’t having any of it… from Justin…. “we have legal papers ” proving you are not a part of my life any more…. to that affect and it’s huge

LOL – woah – tears

I don’t know… I thought in prvious weeks.. these two decided to give their marriage another try?

that being said…. I say : ” if this is what it takes for Adrienne to resolutely stand her ground… hang tough… and poise herself an independant woman”

Yowsah! my gal reigned yesterday

that strong willfull mindset is sexy!

oh, she has her misgivings about life, even if she knows she can’t not stop loving Justin

give this woman scripts and she will command attention

I “love” her

I am not surprised. Ben was riveting…WOW!!
Plus, as maddiehayes said, bringing in the many vets, cinched it, albeit I am already tired of Bo and Steve being held captive. I hope the action will start now. I am sure both these seasoned thespians will give us what we want…..Awesome, swashbuckling entertainment.

LOVE YOU DAYS HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After not having watched Days for years. I am enjoying it now. Will I don’t care about. Sammi the brain dead idiot married to the man who raped her ?I hear she is leaving so EJammi gone I can stay..never liked her with him. I like the murder mystery and of course, the returns. If Bo isn’t staying I wish they had left Aiden alone. I like Danial Cosgrove and I do like Aiden. Nice to see Caroline and Victor, never understood why these two actors were not put together. even at their age they have great on screen chemistry. Bo ,Patch, Kayla , most of the Bradys . I am actually watching and not FF . I also like Abigail and Chad, so shoot me. I wish Andre was Tony and Anna could also return. plus jack. Guess we can’t have it all, but if they keep going maybe Days has a chance. The show is good right now, and has caught my interest .I would much rather see Hope with Aiden than Rafe. I like Rafe OK but I like DC more. JMO.

Awww, Janet. Will was part of the edifice that made Days. A fundamental brick was removed. The remaining Horton name will soon be no more. I don’t think TPTB did get their ducks in a row here…..Will’s death was a random, willy-nilly, thoughtless and senseless action.

I may be in the minority here, but I love having Gabby back on this show. I also sort of like the possible pairing of JJ and Gabby!

i am shocked that i am reading so much negativity. i think the show is great! i have only been watching about 5 years but it has really perked up and moved some stories along. i think Days needed to really shake things up and shock some viewers….the show has been on brink of cancellation since I have watched it. Let the writers/EP try something different. To be honest it seems like FINALLY the actors arent retreading half the prior days dialogue from the day before every day! THAT was horrible! my only complaint is just a personal thing….i cringe when i hear “FANCY FACE”….”Sweetness” is good though!

I think the new writers need much help…they go into too many directions & calculate story line miserably…they are rather lazy and unimaginative in their efforts and need a substantial boost …hire someone who knows how to write for goodness sake !

Not everything in life is a bed of roses.

I, too, am sorta surprised at all the negativity about the changes at Days. The very day the new writers took over was the day the show became exciting again. The Days preview that is up on YouTube is more like a movie preview – there is excitement and drama coming up! Days has become Must See TV again. I will miss some people however, like Paige, Will, and Aiden. But since this is now a show I look so forward to, the changes are worth it. I am sad Bo will only be back for a short time, tho. They invested so much time in establishing Aiden’s character, it’s too bad he’s become so greasy. yuck. November sweeps are about to begin and the best Days are about to come!

Great post, Katzie!

DAYS has gone from good to ON FIRE!!!!!

Days is number 3 in viewers out doing GH by 1,000 viewers.

Woohoo! Congrats Days. You deserve it.

‘Days of Our Lives’ Favorites Making Returns: Alison Sweeney, Christie Clark, Chandler Massey and Bryan Dattilo

Published

Great news for Days of Our Lives fans, now that Ryan Quan is co-head writer of the long-running soap opera. Coming in June of 2027 (since DAYS tapes ten or so months ahead), you can look forward to the returns of Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady), Christie Clark (Carrie Brady), Chandler Massey (Will Horton) and Bryan Dattilo (Lucas Horton).

The foursome is back on set and began last week to tape their upcoming story arc, according to TV Insider. As to what exactly is going on that brings sister Sami and Carrie’s history back up, as well as Will and Lucas’ is only being teased at this time, but suffice to say, it should be intriguing.

Alison Sweeney explained on being back on set, “It was a lot of dialogue and emotion, but with all the best actors to work opposite, we fell into it as if no time had passed. It was really wonderful.”

As to working with the longstanding rivalry of Sami and Carrie, Alison added on working with Clark, “So, it really does feel like we’re sisters. It’s so fun, and she’s such a good actor that she makes everything so natural that you can really disappear into those stories.”

JUST LIKE OLD TIMES

It also seems like the deep-history, which often had the sister fighting for the love of Austin Reed, but that might not figure into the equation this time, or will it?

Alison indicated what she thought of the scripts she was given. “I felt like when I read it, it was a page-turner. I was very excited. There’s a lot of history here, and a lot of things that haven’t been said. So, it’s really not like, ‘Oh, rehashing stuff.’ And now having played some of the scenes, I’m psyched.” Sweeney added, as for the men, working again with her on-screen son, Chandler Massey and Will’s on-screen father Bryan Dattilo, was also extra special.

The last time DAYS viewers saw Sami on the canvas was back in November of 2025, when she revealed she has gotten engaged to never-before-seen Dante Vitali. As for Clark, she last visited Salem for the episodes surrounding John Black’s memorial in June of 2025.

Chandler Massey’s Will Horton last made a visit to Salem in November of 2025 when he attended the gala for the Tom Horton Free Clinic as part of the soap opera’s 60th anniversary celebration. Bryan Dattilo was last seen in December of 2025. So, by the time we see all four again it will be close to two years since they were on new episodes of the series. Time to look forward to June of 2027.

So, excited by the news of Alison, Christie, Chandler and Lucas making a return to Days of Our Lives? What do you think the story will be involving, Sami, Carrie, Lucas and Will? Let us know via the comment section.

Last Tuesday, Al Calderon scored the first Emmy nomination of his career for his role as Javi Hernandez on Days of Our Lives.

Calderon name was announced as one of the performers competing for gold in the Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series category at the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards on October 30.

This week, Calderon chatted live on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel for a one-on-one conversation where he discussed: his nominated scenes and time on the Peacock streaming soap opera, his decision to leave DAYS, his role of Nico Silva on Brilliant Minds and its sad cancellation, plus his passing the torch of Javi to Jacob Martinez, who took over the role on-screen on the June 30, 2026 episode of Days of Our Lives.

JAVI REVEALS TO LEO THAT HE HAD A DAUGHTER WHO DIED

Al revealed the scenes that comprise his now Emmy-nominated reel have at its epicenter the heartbreaking moments from the September 12, 2025 episode. In it, Javi shares for the first time to Leo (Greg Rikaart) that he had a daughter named Solana, with a woman he was seeing named Sylvia. One fateful day, Sylvia left their child in a car when she went to work and the little girl died. Javi had blamed himself for not being the parent to take his daughter to school that day since he was hungover the night before, therefore it opened up the opportunity for something to happen to the his child, and it did.

The multi-talented actor/singer explained his reel: “It was the scene where he is talking about his daughter to Leo. I also included the scene where Javi goes to talk to Melinda (Tina Huang) and to see if it would be a viable option to adopt, because I wanted to introduce the subtlety and nuance of why Javi kind of has this whole connection to Tesoro, in a way.”

It is true that Al can bring the tears and make us cry right along with him during his run as Javi.  To that, Calderon added, “I’ve read the comments that I’m a little bit of a crybaby, so I didn’t want the entire reel to be of me crying, but I wanted it to show a little bit of an emotional range of the restraint that Javi was feeling so I included that scene

In addition Calderon shared, “I also included a really beautiful scene with Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez, DAYS) where I’m looking at photos of Tesoro, and of course, Javi is crying. I just wanted to show the relationship between Javi and his family as well, and as I mentioned the reveal of the child that he lost.”

ALUMS AL CALDERON AND ALICE HALSEY REPRESENT DAYS OF OUR LIVES IN EMERGING TALENT CATEGORY

In a twist of fate, Calderon is also nominated in the Emerging Talent category with Alice Halsey who played Rachel Black. Halsey is currently starring in the reboot of Little House on the Prairie in the lead role of Laura Ingalls on Netflix.

As to his hope on Emmy night, Al expressed, “Of course, I want to win, but Alice Halsey is going to give me a run for the money. And if’s not me (who wins the award), it better be her!”

You can check out the full interview with Al below.

Now let us know, do you remember Al’s emotional scenes when he explained to Leo he had a daughter who died, which made it all the more heartbreaking to not end up with permanent custody of Tesoro? What do you think of Al’s chances to win the gold based on his Emmy scene selection? Do you miss him as Javi? Weigh-in via the comment section.

Emily O'Brien

BEING CAST ON THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS

“The role was just a few days and she wasn’t even supposed to be English,” Emily recalled. “The role was originally called Jade. Karen Rae, the casting director of The Young and the Restless at the time said to me “Oh, you’re from England. Try it with the dialect.” I put it on and she said, ‘I’m going to bring you back at like 3 for s callback.’ So then they changed the role to Jana and they said she’s going to be a Brit. I was only supposed to be on for like five episodes and it turned into 5 years.”

In explaining why she loved crazy Jana, Emily shared, “Jana was sort of like the misanthrope. She was just was the odd one out and I loved it. I felt so comfortable playing that because she was just eclectic and weird and she loved playing with Ouija boards and she rode a motorbike. There was just so much color to bring to her. It was just such a great match to play with Greg (Kevin), and Christian LeBlanc (Michael) and Tracey Bregman (Lauren).

On Days of Our Lives, the Leo, Gwen, Dimitri dynamic is quite unique and been through many schemes and entanglements. Often Emily finds herself in repartee with her ex-lover, Dimitri, who turned out to be gay and then had a thing for her bestie, Leo (Greg Rikaart)!

During the conversation, Greg and Emily sang, Peter Porte’s praised with O’Brien expressing, “Peter is just ready to play. He comes on set prepared. I’ve never seen him with his script. From blocking and rehearsals, he doesn’t have it. He’s prepared. He’s a physical actor and he always trying to come up with something. I think he let me slap him. He let me kiss him. He let me throw a cheeseburger in his lap. He’s ready for anything for anything.”
