‘Days of Our Lives’ Officially Confirms Ryan Quan Returning as Co-Head Writer Beginning in July
There is definitely a shake-up going down at the writing team at Peacock’s Days of Our Lives. Now, the long-running soap opera has confirmed, what has been previously reported, that current General Hospital breakdown writer, Ryan Quan is heading back to his old stomping grounds in Salem. This time as the series co-head writer.
The appointment of Quan comes with the official news that current co-head writer, Paula Cwikly, who was previously rumored to be departing the series, is not. She is staying with the soap opera and transitioning to a consultant role with the show. Now, Quan will join current co-head writer, Jeanne Marie Ford to steer the ship for the characters on the canvas.
On Wednesday, TV Insider, reported the official confirmation and that Quan will return to DAYS next month in July. In a statement to the outlet, executive producer, Ken Corday expressed, ‘We are lucky to have Ryan back in the fold. There are very few people who have such a deep knowledge and understanding of our show’s history. Stay tuned!”

THE FUTURE OF DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Since Days of our Lives unusual production schedule tapes ten-months ahead of air, the new creative team’s vision led by Quan and Jeanne Marie Ford are not expected to stream on Peacock until mid-2027.
Days of Our Lives is currently renewed through its 63rd season. The former NBC soap opera which transitioned to Peacock in September of 2022, celebrate its 60th anniversary in November of 2025.
The writing regime change comes after NBCUniversal Media Chairman Matt Strauss revealed that Peacock is expected to turn a profit for the first time in the current quarter, punctuating their investment with the enduring soap opera on its platform.
As for Quan, his knowledge of Salem is tremendous. Ryan joined Days of Our Lives as a writer’s assistant in 2007 after some time over at Passions. He then spent two decades and held every position on the writing team where he previously served as co-head writer from 2016-17 alongside Dena Higley.
Later, when Ron Carlivati took over as head writer for 7 years in 2017, Quan became his right-hand man and main story consultant for his deep knowledge of the history and the legacy of the show. After Carlivati exited the show in 2024, General Hospital hired Quan in 2025.
So, what do you think about DAYS making it official with Ryan Quan as the new co-head writer of the series alongside Jeanne Marie Ford. What do you think about the fact we won’t see the changes on-screen till 2027? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

Daytime Drama Casting Directors Talk Four of the Most Challenging and Important Recasts of Their Careers
Daytime soap opera casting directors: Greg Salmon (The Young and the Restless) Marnie Saitta (Days of Our Lives), Christy Dooley (The Bold and the Beautiful) and Kim Coleman (Beyond the Gates) discussed the process of casting for a daytime drama series from contract players to under-fives along and their expectations for auditioning, plus behind the scenes casting tales at their recent panel from the SAG-AFTRA Foundation.
The entertainment industry event helps actors receive inside intel from leading casting professionals and took place just over a week ago at the Meryl Streep Center for the Performing Arts in Los Angeles.
Moderated by noted journalist Jim Halterman, one of the more intriguing moments of the panel discussion occurred when the subject turned to the challenges of a recast on a soap opera and replacing a popular actor with another in a very key role. Each of the four casting directors were able to put a spotlight on such an occurrence and all were leading men on their respective soaps.

For Marnie Saitta at Days of Our Lives, she was tasked with finding the new EJ DiMera. James Scott had become amazingly popular in the role from 2006-2014. Then, enter Dan Feuerriegel, who had the right stuff for DAYS to finally pull the trigger and cast the new EJ. The character returned on-screen in 2021 after 7 years.
RECASTING EJ DIMERA
“I do know now how to best approach a recast, like I’m casting a new character,” explains Marnie. “I feel like the actor just has to come in and make it their own. You can’t even try, looks-wise, to be quite honest. Obviously, EJ DiMera is kind of a focal point (of DAYS) and Dan was such a champ. I swear to God, I think I brought him in maybe six times. I would bring him in for other characters, but I kept thinking he’s really good for EJ and it didn’t go. Then, I brought him for something else, same thing. I knew that the role of EJ was going to be really difficult to find, and it finally clicked. He took EJ in a different direction. He has a totally different vibe, but equally as effective.”
RECASTING ADAM NEWMAN
For Greg Salmon, he discussed the pivotal role of Y&R’s Adam Newman, who was previously by Tracker star, Justin Hartley and what he looked for to be able to find the right actor to be the next black sheep of the Newman clan.
“We had Justin Hartley playing the role of Adam Newman before he went to This Is Us, and now Mark Grossman has been playing him,” explained Salmon. “So that was a really tough role to recast. Before Justin, there were two other people (Chris Engen and Michael Muhney) who played the part. Adam Newman is central to the show. This is Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) son. So, it’s an incredibly important character to the show. But now, Mark Grossman’s been playing the role for several years now. He’s completely made the role his own.”

Salmon added the key attributes that Mark Grossman or someone like him brings into an audition for the role of that is being recast, “I really think it just comes down to the person’s energy and what they’re bringing to the character,” explained Greg. “You can’t think, ‘Well, I know Justin Hartley looks like this. And the guy before him looked like that,’ because then you’ll just get trapped. You’re not trying to find another Justin Harley. You’re trying to find another Adam Newman. I just remember Mark came in and I think he read with Eric Braeden, and he read with a few other people of the Newman family, and his energy was just off the charts. You know, this is how Adam should feel. Eventually, I think the audience really accepted him.”
RECASTING RIDGE FORRESTER
In a little-known casting story, The Bold and the Beautiful’s Christy Dooley shared how Mark Grossman almost became one of the Forresters! “He tested for us (at The Bold and the Beautiful). Mark came in and read for the role of Thomas Forrester and he was my choice for the role,” says Dooley. “The role wound up going to Matthew Atkinson, but then he came down to read for The Young and the Restless.”
Dooley was also tasked with one of the biggest soap recasts in history when Ronn Moss exited The Bold and the Beautiful in his signature role of Ridge Forrester which Moss played from 1987-2012. Eventually, Thorsten Kaye took over the role at the end of 2013.

“When Ronn Moss left the show, Brad Bell (executive producer and head writer, B&B) said, ‘I can’t recast him right now, he’s just too familiar.’ So he waited. The character was always talked about because he is one of the Forresters. Brad finally said, ‘We need to bring him back. We got to find somebody.’ Then to get Thorsten Kaye, who’s so different than Ronn, and he made it completely his own. He’s just amazing at it, so I think time helped (between bringing on a new Ridge.)”
RECASTING DR. TED RICHARDSON
For Beyond the Gates, Kim Coleman, she has a soap opera that is now building a new legacy only in its second season. However, in season one, Maurice Johnson became the first recast in series history when he was replaced as Dr. Ted Richardson with Keith D. Robinson and at a critical point in the storyline.
Coleman explained, “I think it was a transition and everyone was in agreement that it was the right thing to do. And then fortunately, we brought in an actor that the audience knew. They knew his face. He was great. Keith made it his own and there was not a lot of controversy and it wasn’t complicated. Keith D. Robinson is on the show now and everyone loves him. So, it was a very smooth transition.”
You can check out the full conversation with daytime casting directors, Greg Salmon, Marnie Saitta, Christy Dooley and Kim Coleman below.
Now let us know which of the four recasts noted do you think was the most successful? Were you surprised to learn Mark Grossman was a favorite of casting director Christy Dooley for Thomas Forrester before landing his role as Adan Newman? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

Days really deserves this award!
They sure do!
It could not be any show but DAYS. I thought ATWT and OLTL did an awesome job with its gay storylines but this DAYS plot has me riveted!
B&B did not do service to its lesbian aprents storyline, but at least something is there!
Make it a fourth from me! DAYS all the way. Yes this latest bit with Gabi has really soiled a lot of the great work done before it, but overall DAYS put A LOT of time, effort and good work into Will’s coming out, everyone’s acceptance and Will and Sonny’s love story. Beautifully written, gorgeously acted and executed better than nearly any other show’s (tied maybe only with ATWT).
CC on BB does not an award make. They had a 2 week story and then zilch. It doesn’t even rank.
GLAAD !!!!!!! Diversity, Equality, We ALL BELONG !!!! We Are a PART of YOU.
DAYS – Will and Sonny…. Love Them….
B&B – Danielle and Caroline…. Rock ON Crystal Chappelle. ENJOY YOUR LIFE.
You give back so much to this Genre w/your on-line Work.
GH – Felix. Bear Salute – We got you…
Y&R – ???? Get on Board.
You’ll notice that Y&R gets FAR better ratings than DAYS. Maybe Y&R likes being #1 and doesn’t want to risk losing many of their viewers.
The gay storyline is not why DAYS is losing ratings, the bad writing is. People want less Dannifer and Sami triangles and more of our vets!
Well, you’ve got me there! lol .. I want the same thing. I would be willing to FF through the gay story if DAYS would give me just ONE good storyline to enjoy
hollywood smugly congratulates itself for being “tolerant” w/ these glaad “awards” w/c are a joke. hollywood screams against homophobia but is openly racist to people of color and especially to Asian americans. of course it’s bec hollywood thinks the white lgbt community is a more “special” minority group compared to African americans and latinos and especially Asian americans!
glaad “nominated” smash?! is glaad seriously that delusional?! ny based smash got rid of their 1 Asian romantic leading man who was not portrayed as your stereotypical asexual Asian american char. hollywood loves to portray Asian males as asexual yet who wrote the kama sutra again? billions from the Asian population yet they’re all asexual males according to “tolerant” hollywood. Typical hollywood racism.
Asian americans are portrayed by hollywood as dorky and accented men who are often asexual. while hollywood hypersexualizes latinos and black americans w/ these high pregnancy rates. thus being white becomes the “norm” and the “ideal” w/c racist hollywood loves. it’s a form of social control to make racial minorities worship whites as the “standard”. it’s hollywood’s version of white supremacy.
smash is being whitewashed even more by getting rid of 2 racial minority male chars and creating even more white chars! pathetic for an ny based tv show! white privilege has been around for centuries. it’s manifested thru hollywood’s institutionalized racism by suppressing the presence of racial minorities and removing racial diversity from tv shows like smash thru whitewashing. typical of trashy “art” from hollywood when heck even jesus was even whitewashed on paintings!
of course smash gets rid of dev and ellis who are the 2 racial minority males who were portrayed romantically but it keeps the gay chars and puts even more white chars. typical from “tolerant” hollywood: a majority white ny based tv show. smash’s ratings are blamed on the racial minority men and its rebooted to get rid of them. Dev was paired as the bf of the lead female char “acted” by horrid katherine mcphee. but of course the smash reboot gets rid of dev and pairs her w/ new white chars and w/ “bombshell’s” white director. Disgusting!
Would glaad “nominate” an ny based tv show w/c got rid of its gay chars and replaced them w/ straight chars? of course not bec they’d scream homophobia. yet whitewashing ny based smash of its racial minority male chars is not a problem for “tolerant” glaad.
I’m glad you see the irony in all this “tolerance” .. GLAAD is a powerful lobbying group and has successfully bullied TV and movie producers into including gay characters on almost ALL shows – never mind that ALL LGBT people make up only 3% of the population. They must be represented, DAYS makes it look like 20% of their town of Salem is gay. Other minorities, that actually have far MORE members in the REAL world, are barely seen in soaps or any other form of entertainment, especially in comparison to how many gay characters we see all the time! I realize that gays are highly represented in Hollywood, but those of us in the REAL world rarely encounter gay people. We are far more likely to encounter people of diverse races, the handicapped, people with devout faith – how many of THOSE types of people do you ever see on TV ? !
that’s what bothers me abt hollywood and glaad. they act like the most “enlightened” and “tolerant” people when they can be the most backward. you can forget abt religious people being portrayed objectively. all hollywood churns are psycho bible thumpers who are not tolerant and must be “educated” bec they are stupid.
The complaints abt very little lgbt representation are hilarious! More like too much lgbt representation. And of course majority of those chars have to be white lgbt people. cnn reported that only 3% of the us population identify as lgbt and they wouldn’t get that wrong bec the face of cnn is openly gay anderson cooper. hollywood gives too much priority to lgbt chars and too much representation and yet they love to talk abt “realism” when explaining the lack of racial minority representation. how is it realistic to have little racial minorities and too many white gay chars when the lgbt population is only 3% w/c is measely? typical hollywood racism.
the following shows have lgbt representation w/ mostly white lgbt chars and personalities: ahs. the new normal. modern family. revenge. true blood. person of interest. pretty little liars. b&b. days. y&r. oltl. amc. mad men. enlightened. downton abbey. plethora of reality tv shows and entertainment news tv shows. bravo tv. ellen degeneres. axed but still floundering on tv: blanderson cooper daytime talk show and emily owens. rather recently axed tv shows w/ white lgbt representation: desperate housewives. gcb. gg. ringer. heck glee alone has had the following lgbt chars: brittaney. santana. sandy. blayne. kurt. new gay guy for kurt. unique. sebastian. karofsky. that’s 9 alone and of course majority of them are white! it’s hilarious that gay people think hollywood “lacks” lgbt representation and is “homophobic” to gays.
hollywood isn’t “homophobic” to white lgbt actors. it rallied around the gay guy from grey’s anatomy when washington uttered that slur. washington was fired from grey’s bec of that and his career hasn’t recovered. yet hollywood did nothing for Asian american actor rex who is openly gay from entourage. he publicly complained abt the discrimination he experienced from entourage w/c was worse bec it was homophobic and racist. yet hollywood did nothing bec being racist towards Asian americans is acceptable for hollywood. those “enlightened” hollywood people love to talk abt diversity yet they bash Asian americnas w/ their lack of representation and racist representation and whitewashing.
there are very few Asian american chars on tv and yet according to pew research Asian americans are the most educated and have the highest median income and spend the most and are the fastest growing group making up 6% of the us population. that’s a lot more than those that identify as lgbt and yet there are far more white lgbt chars than there are Asian american chars.
where are all the “it gets better” videos from hollywood for Asian american students? Asian american students are the most bullied grp according to huffington post but hollywood only cares abt gay bullying. Typical racism from the “tolerant” crowd.
To maddiehayes: It’s great that you understand the larger issue of racial discrimination from hollywood and glaad. You’re the only person on here that contributes to the discussion on discrimination. it’s hilarious for people to say gays are being bashed by hollywood and the mainstream manhattan media.
And people who say that hollywood is all abt money are delusional. the best example to refute that would be the global phenomenon jeremy lin. hollywood refuses to give funding to the documentary on jeremy lin bec hollywood’s racist and they don’t want Asian americans to succeed at fields like entertainment and sports bec that would make them part of the popular culture and its discussion.

there’s clearly a demand for Jeremy Lin not only from Asian countries but from other countries and from america as well. obviously a Jeremy Lin documentary would make money but hollywood hates Jeremy Lin and Asian americans. hollywood is abt the suppression of the presence of racial minorities as shown by how horrid they are when it comes to racial diversity on tv shows. hollywood loves to whitewash minorities from the narrative to dilute the significance of authentic racial representation.
hollywood has often claimed that its the “audience” that’s racist and that the audience won’t accept an Asian american as a leading man. Jeremy Lin completely refutes that racist hollywood notion. Racist hollywood hates that bec he has shattered their narrative on how Asian americans must be portrayed. hollywood’s not abt money per se. That’s secondary compared to shaping the culture.
Look at how hollywood and the manhattan mainstream media were furious w/ gallup poll’s report on the low economic status of the lgbt community. It’s bec gallup’s research goes against what hollywood and the mainstream manhattan media has portrayed lgbt community. They’re portrayed on film and tv shows as rich and fashionable and trendy and often white. It’s bec hollywood and the manhattan media want advertisers to think they’re profitable and desirous to advertisers for their glaad galas and whatever blah.
hollywood and the manhattan media are abt social control. those are their goals. glaad has to praise these tv shows bec glaad and hollywood and the media want society to think that lgbt representation from tv shows is something admirable. Yet hollywood and the manhattan media openly discriminate against racial minorities bec they don’t want racial minorities to be more successful than the lgbt community.
Hi BC, oh yeah, I am fully aware of how Hollywood brainwashes people into thinking their way – don’t forget, half the population has below average intelligence! LOL .. a recent Gallup poll shows that more than half of the populace think that 25% of the population is gay! (from overexposure in the media, no doubt). Another Gallup poll shows that white/caucasian is the LEAST likely race to be gay. African American being FIRST, Asian second. And the only gay people I know personally are not white, one is Asian, the other Hispanic. The Asian Americans I know (I also have Asian in-laws and nephews) are successful and smart. Yep, the media controls the national dialogue, we should start a grass-roots effort to set the record straight! 😉
To maddiehayes: great contributions from you on this topic. of course majority of hollywood’s lgbt chars are w/ white actors despite gallup refuting that. Typical “diversity” from stupid hollywood. hollywood’s hatred for Asian americans is typified by the jeremy lin phenomenon. hollywood’s abt social brainwashing and jeremy lin’s success refutes the narrative that hollywood has crafted to bash Asian americans. CAA manages not only “actors” but NBA athletes. It’s bec hollywood has realized there’s a limit to hollywood’s profitability w/c doesn’t apply to sports. nba is not affected by dvr. hollywood is. there’s no pressing concern to watch a dumb hollywood tv show and movie anymore. Look at how low the ratings of tv shows have become. there’s an immediacy to sports and hollywood can’t compete w/ that.
Majority of the most popular nba athletes are managed by CAA and it’s bec athletes are the real stars compared to manufactured “stars” of hollywood. Anyone can be an actor. saying your lines and knowing your blocking are all that’s required of these self aggrandizing actors. but not everyone can be an athlete. Discipline and talent are required of athletes and there are scientific stats to back up the skills of an athlete. While actors can buy awards and the “talent” of an actor is debatable. meryl streep is often called the “best” actress and she has mentioned that she thinks the “best” actress is katharine hepburn. and yet hepburn has called streep’s acting mechanical and robotic. acting talent is opinion based but there are stats to back up the talent of an athlete w/c makes athletes the real stars compared to “star” actors.
hollywood has even extended its racism against Asian americans thru the NBA. Even the NBA ignores discrimination against Asian americans but it prioritizes lgbt bullying bec of hollywood’s stance on lgbt bullying and bec hollywood openly bashes Asian americans. Jeremy Lin experiences a lot of racial discrimination for being an Asian american global phenomenon. there were all these racial slurs tweeted at him. yet the nba did nothing. No commercials against racism towards Asian americans. But the NBA makes commercials against gay bullying. This obvious bias is bec of hollywood’s influence on the NBA. athletes from the nba have to speak against lgbt bullying bec hollywood wants society to prioritize only gay bullying and be influenced by these star NBA athletes. And yet the huffington post has reported that Asian american students are the most bullied group. Typical hollywood bias.
franchise athletes like lebron james have been groomed from childhood to become a part of the NBA. dumb actors get discovered from the mall. some actors use nepotism to climb up the hollywood ladder. But the manufacturing of “stars” is controlled by hollywood. And the grooming of bonafide atheltic stars is controlled by NBA athletic scouts. There is a system to create hollywood’s “stars” and to develop NBA’s star athletes.
jeremy burst onto sports and challenged all of that. from harvard. not from traditional basketball school. Asian american. these are not elements for a successful athlete and yet he’s a global phenomenon unlike all the “stars” hollywood churns on its assembly line. hollywood is against creating A list actors and actresses who are Asian american. Jeremy Lin doesn’t get any help from hollywood’s “star” manufacturers and he becomes a global phenomenon! That’s why hollywood hates him.
And he’s vocal abt his Christian beliefs. any critique of jewish people and someone is called “anti semitic” but hollywood loves to bash Christianity. that makes hollywood hate lin even more. hollywood loves to say it’s the most “tolerant” crowd but they are really stupid bec they don’t know the meaning of the word tolerance. hollywood is only tolerant of lgbt people who are white while they’re very racist towards Asian americans.
A few years ago here in Canada there was a case where a gay student was being banned from his Catholic high school prom because he wanted to bring a date. The reasoning at the time was because his life style conflicted with morals and the teaching of the Catholic Church allowing him to attend would be condoning his behavior. As a Catholic, I remember thinking at the time, if morality was the issue, then why weren’t straight students who practice immoral behavior against the teaching of the Church not banned as well? Why was one particular immoral behavior the sole focus- if morality was the issue?
Likewise, I never understood soap viewers who object to gay story lines based on morality. They don’t want to watch because according to their values homosexual is wrong. But they are willing to watch other immoral behaviors such as lying, fornication, adultery, murder, and other soap standards. The Bible states tattoos are wrong, so do they avoid watching all actors who have tattoos? If their values mean that much to them then by their own reasoning they should not be watching soaps at all.
Everyone is entitled to their views, but in the Scriptures I read, God detest hypocrisy more than any other sin. So I can only hope @maddiehayes and others like her will remember that bit of truth as well.
These awards are not given out to promote homosexuality, but to acknowledge shows that portray gay people as people regardless of their sexuality. No matter what people do —they still are.
the thing I hate is the way the media is using propaganda about gays to change people’s minds, thus promoting social engineering, like gay marriage. If people knew the truth about the gay lifestyle, they would never vote in favor of “normalizing” it and making it “equal” to the relationship God ordained. As I said in another post, more than half the population believes gays make up 25%. They don’t personally know anywhere near that amount of gays, they just see them on TV. And yes, I am fully aware that we are ALL sinners, we should not judge others. But homosexuality is NOT portrayed as sinful on DAYS, far from it! The sinful ones are the ones who think it is wrong (never mind what the Bible says). You don’t see this amount of pimping for all the other immoral behaviors you listed. You don’t see anybody on the show saying “If you think Sami is bad for lying and committing adultery, well, you’re just a bigot!” Not so the gay story. Victor went so far as to say “If you think there’s anything wrong with it, well, you’re just ignorant”. Slap in the face to those who believe in the Bible. I wouldn’t be surprised if Father Eric performs Will&Sonny’s gay wedding.
Days and Degrassi, my two favorite shows on TV, really deserve the award, B&B focused too much on the love triangles and too little on the lesbian storyline. I love WilSon! Go DAYS!
