‘Days of our Lives’ Kyle Pryor Debuts as Dominic Marino and Says of Alleged TV Mom, “Deidre Hall is the Absolute OG, Amazing” (Exclusive)
Earlier this week on the November 2 episode of Days of our Lives, Kyle Pryor made his Salem debut when a key scene at the end of the episode, with Rita sitting in a chair, the long-talked about character of Dominic Marino unmasks himself!
This sets the stage for the new umbrella storyline that long-running soap opera set to turn 61 on November 8 is launching into. What we know thus far is the viewers are led to believe from a birth certificate discovered that the late Stefano DiMera and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) are the billionaire’s biological parents, but is he? Does Marlena have another son she will come to love?
Ahead of his debut, Michael Fairman TV caught up with Kyle Pryor on the red carpet at the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards where he teased to us, whether Dominik will be all bad or just misunderstood?

Pryor revealed, “I feel like having a bit of a good side makes it a bit more nuanced, but, we always want to see that sort of character development and not be too predictable. Just keep it a bit of a mystery and sort of surprising.”
Speaking about working with Days of our Lives icon Deidre Hall as his alleged mother on the show, Pryor had nothing but winning things to say about the legend. “Deidre is the absolute OG, amazing,” shared Kyle.”She’s so experienced on the show and her character has been through so many sort of trials and tribulations.”
As to his Days of our Lives father, Stefano DiMera, played by the late Joseph Mascolo, Nick shared he heard plenty of stories from the cast about Joe. “I heard that he was quite sort of method in his approach. as well. That behind the scenes, he would be his sort of usual casual self by the sounds of it. And then as soon as he gets on set, he’s in ii! An absolute sort of legacy … amazing character.”

In addition, TV Insider spoke to the former Home and Away (ex-Nate Cooper) and Hollyoaks (ex-Laurence “Laurie” Shelby) soap star, where he was in for quite the shock at how far ahead Days of our Lives was taping in advance of streaming new episodes on Peacock.
Kyle expressed, “Every other show that I’ve worked on in the past, it’s been a much faster turnaround, Usually somewhere around five, six weeks, so it’s been really interesting keeping a secret for 10 months. Also, this is the fastest soap that I’ve ever worked on, so you have to become very good at being instinctual, which in a weird way works for me. I’m a bit of an over-thinker, so it’s nice to be just very reactive and in the moment. It’s a lot of dialogue to get across, and Dominic loves a chat, so there’s always a lot to deal with.”
You can check out our quick chat with Kyle Pryor on the red carpet at the 2026 Daytime Emmy Awards below and make sure to check out more video coverage of Emmy night via the Michael Fairman Channel here.
So place your bets! When all is said and done will Dominic Marino be the true biological son of Marlena Evans she never knew she had? Or is someone else his mother? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

Raven Bowens Breaks Silence About Being Fired From ‘Days of our Lives’ and Her Future Plans
Days of our Lives actress Raven Bowens has opened about publicly about what happened when she learned back at the very beginning of 2026 that she was being let-go by the soap opera after playing Chanel Dupree for five years.
Bowens took to her TikTok and explained in a video what went down and how that helped inspire her next move in life. “On January 2nd, before I could even start on any of my New Year’s resolutions, I got fired,” shared Bowens after receiving a call from DAYS early that morning.
“For the backstory, I spent five years working on Days of Our Lives. I played Chanel Dupree. I love my character. I love the show. I love everyone that I worked with. I had just signed a new contract that was for nine months, but every three months, your contract can not be renewed or picked up.”

THE DREADED CALL
Chanel recalled the moment she found out. “It’s like, eight o’clock in the morning, and I am completely blindsided” Next, Bowens recalled saying to her sister in that moment, “‘Why would my producer be calling me on January 2nd? We don’t go back to work for a week. Something is going on. I think I’m getting fired.” Then, Chanel revealed, “I answered that call, and that is what that call was.”
As to the reason for her pink-slip, Raven shared, “I was told that they didn’t have a storyline for me at the moment and so they will be writing my character off at the end of my current storyline.”
Trying to buckle up after hearing she was being fired, Raven recalled, “While that isn’t fun, that is the business of show business, especially on soap operas. So it is what it is. That’s the contract I signed. I had to accept it. But it was a really hard reality.” She realized, “Having spent five years in Salem, I got comfortable. That was like my second home.”
RAVEN BOWENS EXITS DAYS ALONG WITH THREE OTHER ACTORS
As Days of our Lives fans know, Bowens along with her on-screen love Carson Boatman (Johnny), Leo Howard (Tate) and Ashley Puzemis (Holly) were also let go at the same time. Since DAYS tapes nearly 10-11 months in advance, Raven and Carson’s final airdates should be right around the corner, although nothing has been released.
After explaining the life-changing job news, Raven explained what she is up to next: “My next chapter is not my acting career ending because I’m an actress. I will always be an actress. I have sacrificed so much for this life and for this career and I love it. I will never give it up and I will never quit. However, losing the job made me realize the importance other streams of income.”
THE NEXT CHAPTER POST-DAYS
From there, Bowens encouraged fans to follow her journey on TikTok to become a millionaire by the end of 2027 with money and wealth management. In fact, she launched a new TikTok series, Millionaire Pending where she plans to document the financial journey she is with advice from a financial adviser, wealth coach and her father.
Bowens explained, “When that job ended, I was kind of shocked. I had felt a certain sense of security, even working in a non-secure profession, and I didn’t really prepare. This series is me trying to put myself in a position so that nothing like this ever happens again.”
So what do you think about Raven coming forward with how her dismissal from Days of our Lives went down? Will you miss Chanel and Johnny when they eventually exit Salem? Will you be interested to check out Raven’s wealth management series on TikTok to see if you can pick up any pointers for financial security and success? Let us know via the comment section.
Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady, Days of our Lives) is jumping head first into the celebrity podcast rage with the launch of hers entitled, Between Takes with Alison Sweeney.
In between her busy schedule of Hallmark Channel movies, features, TV appearances and returns to Days of our Lives, Sweeney will now feature special guests each episode as previewed in her Instagram video clip announcing the new podcast series.
Accompanying her video, Sweeney expressed, “Trying something new! Check out my new podcast. Just fun casual chats with my friends. Links are in my bio.”
Photo: Hallmark
The first episode features former DAYS star and Hallmark Channel mainstay, Victor Webster (ex-Nicholas Alamain). It was back from 1999-2000 that Victor first appeared on the then NBC soap opera.
As previously reported, Sweeney will be reprising her role of Sami on Days of our Lives, next summer in June when she returns along with several fan favorites for a story arc.
During Alison’s premiere of “Between Takes,” Webster shares stories of his time on DAYS, being a proud dog dad, and globetrotter, plus working on action scenes and for Victor, taking over from The Rock in the the Scorpion King franchise appearing in Scorpion King 3: Battle For Redemption. Alison and Victor also chat about their time on sets.
You can listen to Between Takes with Alison Sweeney on all major podcast streaming platforms; including Apple Podcasts here.
So, will you be checking out Alison’s podcast as it continues to grow? Intrigued who from Days of our Lives and the soaps might chat it up with her in future episodes? Let us know in the comment section.

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!
