Days of our Lives Blockbuster Flash-Forward Promo: Where Are Your Favorites One-Year Later?
Every year at the annual NBC Day of Days event at Universal City, California’s CityWalk, fans in attendance are treated to the premiere of the extended and exciting promo of what’s to come in story in the weeks ahead.
But this year, the promo was even more exciting because it revealed pieces and teases of what’s happened in Salem and to your favorite characters within the one-year time jump that began on last Friday’s episode when Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) woke up out of her coma and learned from Jack (Matt Ashford) that she had been asleep for a year! And … thus begins a daytime first for a drama series.
In the DAYS November sweeps promo, viewers see that Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) have their baby and so does apparently, Eric (Greg Vaughan) and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). Then. Jack says to Abigail (Kate Mansi) that she is her number one reporter, while Victor (John Aniston) tells Ciara (Victoria Konefal) she is the future of the family. Elsewhere, it looks like Kate (Lauren Koslow) is waiting tables?
Meanwhile, Sonny (Freddie Smith) says “I miss him, I miss him a lot.” Who is he referring to? Clyde (James Read) is back and looks to be in an adjoining cell with his son, Ben Weston (Rob Scott Wilson)! Also in prison are the ladies, Hattie Adams (Deidre Hall) and none other than Eve (Kassie DePaiva)
Then, Gabi (Camila Banus) and Eli (Lamon Archey) are making out and apparently things have heated up between them, once again, and Princess Gina (Kristian Alfonso) is still looming. Will she come between John (Drake Hogestyn) and Marlena (Deidre Hall), and will Jennifer remember that Gina pushed her of the balcony a year ago?
Watch the promo for the time-jump below. Then, let us know what story you are looking forward to most, and finding out how it plays out via the comment section below.

Days is on fire. I haven’t been this excited to watch the show in a long time. This is now the first one I watch everyday.
Love it! DOOL is my #1 soap right now. Keep it going. Congrats to all involved on the turnaround!
Superb news!
After the big Kristen wedding reveal and her leaving, I think everyone was concerned how they would keep the momentum going. But they sure have! They have delivered in every way!
Kudos to everyone over at Sony/NBC and DAYS! Great work by everyone involved!
News of the renewal should be following soon…….
DAYS should get a 3 year renewal. Great characters in great stories that will generate exciting DAYS for many years!!! Our DAYS will turn to everlasting blissful years!!!
Days of our Lives is blowing my mind!!! I love every aspect of my DAYS!!!
These are OUR days! These are OUR lives! These are the days of OUR lives!!!
Days of our Lives is on NBC-The Hourglass Network!
YAY for Days!
My username says it all!!!
I just started watching Days again this week thanks to EJabby! They have me totally hooked on the show. Nice to see soaps doing so well again in the ratings.
I am interested again because of them too. For so long I’ve barely watched. I was losing interest. Now, I am glued to it!!! TEAM EJABBY!!!! <3
Yep, I’ve dumped Y&R and moved to DAYS. The best soap on TV is on NBC.
You got it dude!!!
yep, me too, no more Y&R and on to better (DOL) soon to be #1!!!!
Welcome!!!
After the firing of Michael Muhney, from Y&R, Jan. 30th is the last time this Y&R fan will watch. DOOL sounds like a great replacement. Will check it out on Jan. 31st. Good to know.
Thank you once again Michael Fairman for your positive spin on what is really going on. You do good work.
U need 2 check out DAYS, NOW!!!
Day after day, you are missing great DAYS! Have fun playing in the sand!
I love days so much and look forward to watching every day. The other soaps I sometimes fast forward!!
I think Days is going to stay strong with the stories they are putting forth now. The Ej and Abby affair was a shockingly fun twist that can’t help but make one want to see how it plays out. Nick is he dead or isn’t he (? ) keeps me engaged and I love the sweet romance they’ve put forth with Rafe and Jordan! I’m enjoying they’ve now included Lucas and Sheryl into Jordan’s mystery opening up the canvas to make that an intriguing tale. Great work Days!
DOOL is the best of the four network daytime serials thanks to he focus the lead characters — EJ, Daniel, Jennifer, and Abby. Should the writing team create a compelling story to lure Peter Reckells back to daytime and cast a new dashing young actor as Shawn-Douglas, the audience will continue to grow significantly.
Since when did Abby become a lead character?
Or Jennifer? To me the main characters are EJ, Sami, Nicole, Daniel, Brady and Eric! Who else agrees?
Wow, from the comments I’ve been reading Days sounds like the place to go after 1/30 if Michael Muhney has not returned to Y&R. For me, after being a Y&R viewer from day 1 there will be no more Y&R/CBS/Sony. Counting the days….
Come on over 2 DAYS!!! It’s the hottest ticket in town!!
I don’t want to spoil this and say you’ll be free from 2/3 when you come to DAYS, but DAYS IS a WAAAAY better show than YR! You should start watching now because the major stories are just starting up again. It’s the soap to watch for sure!
It pays to watch DAYS!!!
I love this show watch it 5days a week. Love the man who plays E.J.
I wish it was on 7 DAYS a week!
When I’m not watching current episodes I’m watching old ones (particularly ones with EJ – Ejami, Ejaylor but especially Ejole) love Ejole!
Days are great. I have been watching for a very long time. But I’m very upset about Soapnet Channel. Please put this channel back on…
I will not miss one show. I got hooked on it by accident I hated soaps all my life and I’m 71 now catch myself about to pray for Daniel and Eric occasionally Now I can’t catch it on sop net if I can’t watch it at 1 don’t know how to catch it on internet ??
It’s on Hulu also. Check it out there.
I watch it though facebook – “Days of Our Lives Videos”
I’m hooked !! Catch myself wanting to pray for Daniel and Eric
I have been watching days since I was 12 years old I am 59 now. My grandmother got me hooked on this show and I have always loved watching it!!
Leaving Y&R now that Michael Muhney fired and this sounds like a nice replacement…see you on the 31st.
The Ej and Abby rendezvous has kept me watching and wanting to see more of what happens between them. Good soapy stuff. Keep up the momentum Days, and we will keep watching!
Good for Days!!:) I’m hooked and enjoying it. Have been watching since circa ’83. I like the storylines, how the characters interact/changed up, it flows. For me the rgt amt of drama, soapiness and the shenanigans (brings a little bit of the funny:)
The Abigail and EJ love scene was smoking. I’m not looking at them as a couple per say, but enjoying that twist in the story line. Yowza, when Sami finds out….
Keep it up!!
Always has been and always will be my favorite soap!!!
Sooo happy that the world is starting to see that daytime tv is still alive!! I have always watched DAYS but the s/l’s are sooo intriguing, it’s better than most shows at night! I love the Eric and Nicole love story..who doesn’t want to see a priest–who was drugged and raped by his future sister in law and accused his first true love of raping him–end up falling in love once again!???!! This is pure soapiness at its best!!! Keep it up DAYS:)
Woot woot! Days has been doing so well! Between the Daniel-Eric-Nicole love triangle-ish stuff to the shocking but very hot love scenes between EJ and Abigail. Now, with Rafe and Jordan getting together and Lucas getting more scenes with Sheryl, things are only going to get better.
“…The folks in Salem have received a wonderful New Year’s present with their latest ratings! ”
Isn’t this a further testament… to how good it is to be : in Salem!
yes it is!
Ta-Da!
there is no cast shock… no bait and switch… no waiting for story advancement, comparable to the other 3 shows… the whole cast expertly weave themselves throughout the canvas… and I’m giddy and can watch the whole hour… and still dream… along
Days of OUR Lives… for Year 2014… will reign us all in… for intrigue… awe… and fascinate us with the actors skills… and comparable on par writing… to maintain… best show… and must repeat… as best show… at this years Emmys!
In my personal opinion “Days” always was the number one show! Got hooked with Ejaylor and now just can’t wait for each episode – and OMG isn’t it exciting now!!! Love Nicole, Daniel, Eric triangle but can’t WAIT to see what happens with EJabbie!!
PS – have never like EJami (although I do like Alison Sweeney, just not her character)!
DOOL, my favorite soap. So, so happy.
