NBC Renews Days of our Lives For 55th Season
Those sands through the hourglass are not about to run out anytime soon, with news today that NBC has renewed Days of our Lives for a record 55th season for the network. That means DAYS is picked-up through September 2020.
In a a statement, Bruce Evans, Executive Vice President, Current Programming, NBC Entertainment said: “With writing that manages to weave together Salem’s history with current realities, Ken Corday and his team have ushered the show’s legacy into a new era that resonates with both longtime and new viewers. The actors and crew have such a tremendous respect for ‘Days’ and what it means to fans. We believe that level of commitment shows through and touches our audience year after year.”
DAYS executive producer, Ken Corday expressed: “It’s a great day in Salem! The sands in the hourglass will continue to flow for yet another year. We’re grateful to NBC and Sony for their continued support of the show and, of course, to our dedicated and passionate fans, we owe it all to you. Thank you for taking us through our 55th season. We can’t wait for you to see what we have in store.”
Steve Kent, Senior Executive Vice President, Programming, Sony Pictures Television, added: “Ken Corday and his cast and crew continue to build on the strong legacy of dynamic storytelling and intriguing characters in Days of our Lives. We are proud that audiences both in the U.S. and around the world will get to enjoy this award-winning series for another year.”
Days’ 53rd season saw a 4% increase in total viewers from September 2017 to September 2018 compared to the previous twelve months. According to NBC, that is 2.55 million vs. 2.45 million in live +7 per Nielsen Media Research.
Days of our Lives is produced by Corday Productions, Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television. It is executive produced by Corday, Greg Meng and Albert Alarr, with Ron Carlivati as head writer.
The soap aired its 13,500th episode in 2018. The show first premiered as a half-hour drama in 1965 and expanded to an hour 10 years later.
So, excited to hear there is more DAYS ahead? Comment below.
Grear! Now being Bo Back!!!
Exactly!
That would be amazing. I’d also love to see a Bo/Hope/Rafe triangle.
Not even Ron Carlivati can kill this show… but not for lack of trying.
Ron saved DOOL from being cancelled, he is doing a terrific job.
Hi Helen,
RC saved GH, also
GH was a breath away from being canceled and RC brought it back, saved it.
GH still hasn’t recovered from the damage that Ron & his pal Frank inflicted on the show in February 2012. Bringing Steve Burton back was at least a step in the right direction, but as long as they keep forcing useless characters like Frodd “Baldwin” and Whiny Heiny (complete with fake ties to long time GH characters) they can’t truly recover.
It’s not Ron C’s fault GH is still bad, GH was bad before and after he left. It’s been like 5 or 6 years now.
Very true Su000
I know that Ron wrote the show so that Michael could cut his ties with Sonny after he purposely shot A.J. General Hospital probably couldn’t wait to re-unite Sonny and Michael because the relationship returned to Michael calling him dad. What person in his right mind calls a person dad who kills his real father? G.H. writes Sonny with everyone gravitating to him with love on top of love. I’m almost at the point where I’m about to quit watching again because the show presents a mobster as a paragon of virtue and makes Julian , Franco, Ava , Valentin and anyone else considered bad people unworthy of love and
friends. Plus, notice that all of Sonny’s children love him and all of Julian’s children hate him ; however, they love Sonny. Beyond unbelievable!
That’s what I said, Boop. …..Michael has had a memory lapse for a couple of years. And, Carly is completely fine with it. It is incredible how Ava, Valentin, Julian, and others are maligned ( as they should be), while Sonny’s “sins” are always forgiven …..why? …..because he genuflects with our 0h-so-sad, defrocked priest? He cries, he shows emotion, he loves his father and family!!!! What a good guy! Such a loving, noble hear! “The head never rules the heart, but just becomes its partner in crime”. (Mignon McLaughlin. That’s Sonny in a nut shell. These writers pick and choose their heroes and princes…..Sonny will forever be Gallant, Sir Galahad, the purest knight…..no matter what!! He could kill the Pope, and the Church will absolve him of all sins….as long as Griffin stands by him.
I can’t wait for Sonny and Margaux to capitulate into that bizzare attraction between them…..she’s, at least, his size. How many times will that be? I mean….Cheating, divorcing, getting back together again?
The whole thing with AJ’s (third) death was just one example of Ron’s crappy writing, and his personal vendetta against Sean Kanan, for whatever reasons.
Having Ava (another one of his pets) shoot AJ to save her own ass from being prosecuted for killing Connie Falconeri (who stupidly wrote the initials “AJ” in her own blood, which in itself was a ripoff of the mid 70s murder of Diana Taylor, but that’s a whole other story) would have been a reasonable story. But Ava’s $1.98 WalMart special gun jammed up when she tried to kill AJ and of course AJ retaliated by trying to strangle her. Sonny then walks in, admittedly not understanding the situation, and picks up Ava’s gun, which then fires the bullet already in the chamber. I honestly doubt that Sonny even actually pulled the trigger. In either case, there was no “cold blooded murder” on Sonny’s part, regardless of the past history between Sonny & AJ.
Beyond that, AJ seemed to be recovering from his bullet wound in the hospital, and then suddenly died. More than likely somebody tampered with his IV, and that would have been Ava, not Sonny who had the motive to do that.
Sean Kanan’s version of AJ was at least somewhat redeemable, as long as he stayed away from the booze. Never cared for the Billy Warlock version at all. Don’t know why ReRon made it personal with Kanan, but that’s why AJ was killed off yet again.
Although I was partial to Sean Kanan, I grew to love Billy Warlock’s version, as well. AJ was always the underdog I rooted for and I’m still angry to this day that they took a long awaited step forward to right the wrong that the untouchable three (Carly, Sonny, Jason) did to AJ and then undid the whole thing by killing him and having Michael return to the fold as if AJ never existed.
The story goes that Sean and Ron had it out over the story they gave AJ…that they once again made him a victim, had him accused, gave him a relationship (Liz) and then took it away, gave him the ridiculous relish story and had Tracy making fun of AJ’s weight (which, obviously, Sean being the bearer of said weight) wasn’t thrilled about. When he voiced his concerns they had it out, exchanged some public insult tweets and Sean was shown the door.
So “new” writers get to kill off a vet both in character and actor. Wonder how Frank and Ron would have felt if new writers came in and decided to kill off one of the Buchanan’s.
And of course the “ridiculous relish story” was all a vehicle for ReRon to rebrand his OLTL Manning pets as Frodd & the Twit (thanks to the Prospect Park lawsuit).
I would have rather seen a legitimate power struggle for ELQ among the legitimate Quartermaines myself. Hell, there could be another one even now since Jason’s return, along with the existence of Drew & Oscar, should call for the re-shuffling of the whole deck as far as ELQ stock goes. Michael’s kid too, for that matter, though most of the mortals up there are still in the dark about that piece of the puzzle.
They are decimating the core characters/families. I still say I like the show, but it’s just not GH. It’s another soap. I DID watch the vintage episodes this holiday season and they were such a great trip into the past. And, not that I needed a reminder, but the CAST was there; not the new characters that are part of the “new” show.
As for the Quartermaine’s, they have systematically eliminated them. The recent episode with just Monica and Ned of the original Q clan (with Michael and Olivia) was just sad. I saw the ghosts of Lila, Edward, AJ, Alice, Alan, Tracy…can’t stop people from retiring but to get rid of AJ, Alan, Dillon, Skye, …to now kill off Oscar (which they had to do once they gave him his diagnosis…that was no soapy we-can-fix-this-disease) was just another blow to the future of the Q’s. Not to mention Drew already lost the two sons he thought were his, now they take away the son that IS his.
And let’s not even get into the atrocity of Michael completely forgiving Sonny and Carly for everything AJ and taking back the Corinthos name. I can only hope that Michael stays with Monica in the Q house to raise his son, that Monica gets hit with a “what-the-F-have-I-been-smoking when I allowed Carly and Sonny to enter this house (AJ’s family house…) and that Michael’s future visits with his parents are somewhere other than the Q’s. Sonny and Carly should’t be allowed to step foot in it.
But of course ass-kisser writers who for some reason can’t deny Laura Wright and Maurice will probably have them inherit the Q mansion before too long.
Sickening.
You’re right about that, rebecca…..Michael is THE direct Q heir, if I’m not mistaken. Sarcasm aside; it’s not so far-fetched.
Monica is the resident lady of the manor; but that could change, upon the whim of the writers…..or if Leslie is “pushed” into retirement.
Michael could very well move his mother and her lackey in the Q mansion. How about Jason and Sam?
Imagine all of them living under one roof?! Entertaining!!
that AJ /whatever his mane is walked out of GH not giving enough notice to write him out in any other way (quickly) as was done..
I liked he was killed lol
You didn’t “know” AJ, su. That’s the bottom line. You can like or not like whichever character you choose, but you’re not speaking from a place of history or character familiarity. And he didn’t “walk out.” It was “suggested” he do so. Meaning, they gave him no choice. Which was disgusting. He’s part of the history of the show; not Ron and Frank. They should have respected his character’s history, Sean Kanan’s role on the show which longtime fans remember dating back decades ago. They wouldn’t be thrilled if OLTL had survived and new writers decided to just get rid of one of the Buchanan’s out of spite.
Boop; you have literally expressed my exact sentiments. Exact!
Agree Helen, he really is. Days is on fire!
I loved One Life when Ron was writing.
The show is fine too me. You can’t make me doubt Ron, Satan!
Wonderful news. As far as I am concerned Days is number one in my book.I never miss and episode and I never will. Glad to see Eve back now bring back Vivian and that will make me happy.
Eve isn’t back. That abomination is not Eve Donovan and she never will be. As far as Vivian goes, we know she survived her alleged shooting by Kate, and was in the same warehouse where Jack & Elvis were brought back from the dead. So we can assume she will turn up eventually. As long as Louise Sorel is available…. no need for another horrible recast in that part. (ReRon would like nothing more than to give another job to one of his OLTL pets)
What ever happened to Gabby? She use to be so nice now she is well the devil herself. I hope Julie does open her mouth and says something to the police about Gabby. She has turned into a real a-hole. Sorry about that but that is the way I feel.
I feel the same way Carol, seems most people do. The actress who plays Gabi contact is up in April so she may not resign since she’s on some prime time show, here’s hoping!
I did see that she is in a Lifetime movie and believe she plays a killer unless I am wrong since they didnt actually show the complete clip of her.From what I saw she is worse then Gabby. That is where x Days stars seem to end up in a Lifetime movie. However Kate Mansi was in a couple of them and believe me she isnt a angel either. Get this the guy who plays Ben for some reason I cannot think of his name well he played a serial killer in a movie It was called stalked by a reality star very good movie. So perhaps that is where the actresss who plays Gabby is doing making movies for Lifetime.
Gabby has always been a snake.
Yup….something else I’ve always maintained. Gabi has had her eye on Chad since forever…tried her best and worst to get her hooks into him…..And, she did ; for a while, anyway….
Thank you NBC, for renewing Days. No one stays dead in Salem, please bring back Vivian and Ivan her sidekick. Also bring back Bo Brady and LeAnn Hunley as Anna Dimers
That is what I say bring back Vivian and her sidekick they made us laugh at times.
Hi, Claudio,
Happy New Year…..I was just telling Patrick that Vivian MUST be alive……that would add the cherry to the renewal.
Would Peter ( Bo) come back? Imagine THAT love triangle!! I’d love to have Anna back, as well….Roman needs a love life!!….And, Carly Manning—–adore her… There are so many to mention. Melanie is another character—-and, if Casey Deidrick would resume the role of Chad ( when Flynn departs?), then, all’s well in Salem!!
❤️
I meant Anna Dimera lol
Renewed through September 2020! That’s 20 more months of DAYS…at the very least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With this renewal, DAYS will pass ATWT’s length and will most likely reach 55!
Loving DAYS…Turn to the soap gods and away from Satan!
Away from me?? I used to be ON Days, for Hell’s sake! Remember when I possessed Marlena?
Great News! Love that Susan Seaforth Hayes is getting air time!
Yes, go, Susan!!!!
I love watching old game shows on BUZZR—-I recently watched PASSWORD with both Susan and Bill ( the 70’s, or early 80’s, I think?)….what a beautiful pair; especially Susan—-absolutely gorgeous!!
Great news for the cast, crew and fans. There are a few things I would love to see in the coming year. First of all, the return of Steve Johnson. Second, the redemption of Gabi. Third, a big love story for Kate. Fourth, the return of Stephanie and Joey. Last, a few new sets, something new other than Horton Town Square, the park, Brady Pub, the Horton living room and the Kiriakis living room. I would like to see Kayla’s house (where they lived when Ava was on the show). I love Ben and Ciara, Jennifer and Jack, and am hoping a front-burning storyline for Hope not acting crazed over Ben. Keep Victor and Maggie, Doug and Julie front and center.
Yes for sure, they really need to show some new sets
YAY!!!!!! Days is awesome!!!!
great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!never miss a day of days!
It’s amazing news. I also feel we got the renewal even earlier this year, so that is a relief. But now the priority should be to re-sign Stephen Nichols and ask him to come back to Days.
And bring back Stephen Nichols; he needs to see his brother!
Indeed! It was Jack who found Steve when he turned up after being dead for 17 years, and helped him regain his memory. Time for big brother to return the favor.
Excellent DAYS!!
This is fabulous news. Days keeps getting more & more intriguing along with heartfelt characters and stories. Keep up the wonderful work ! Congrats to all involved. Lisa Fath
Good job, NBC! Was just bantering about the soap genre with a friend from high school online! Cough. Cough.
30 year reunion coming up. Days still connects us from long ago.
Never change your classic opening or classic closing credits.
Jack and Eve were the topics of conversation.
While I am a GH viewer, I am thrilled that DAYS viewers will continue to see their show for at least one more season. My 99 year old grandma still watches daily despite being nearly blind. I believe her “stories” are a big part of her staying sharp and engaged daily, so God bless everyone involved in DAYS production.
I wonder if Frank Valentini @General Hospital NOTES the impressive gains of his fellow colleague. Do Shelly and Chris know or aspire to try … WHAT the eff is going on with him.
it’s staggering to know the catapult the accolade the fan rejoice @DAYS is celebrating
Ron CArlivati : “Thank You” @Ken Corday production… light that candle in honor of your parents Ted and Betty Corday, who have given you every thing you “are”. MIND THE STORE KEN. this has rocketed back. the love and respect the camaraderie the order of things the Passion is all their. LOVE THIS SHOW TO BITS
LOVE THIS SHOW FOREVER
Salemite’ persevere
Salute
PS: @Ken – “minding the store” GIVE FANS some sign . CHANGE A FEW of the sets… give them a face lift… LIFT LIFT LIFT… those park scenes… ???? I never minded because it was all in the writing… take down that large green wall, ie: the crawling ivy… open them up … lively open just love that cast
hi Patrick..
Now, the question is-
will GH get its renewal?
Once again it is circling the drain and it needs to clean house!
GH needs; out with the old in with the new, desperately.
So glad its my favorite soap worldwide, (i watch one Aussie, one UK and one US soap)and at the moment my favorite show period.
Congratulations to everyone involved with DOOL! It’s really firing on all cylinders.
Be still mine heart!! Best news…..
Looking forward to another year of excellent producing, storytelling and acting!!
I just wish TPTB would wave their magic wand and turn Xander into an Ok guy; if not a good one.
Xander could be the hero in demolishing Leo’s devilish plans. He could pretend to be his partner-in-crime and expose him for whom he is. Imagine the rewards from ‘unkie’ Vic!!
Xander is “wickedly” a good actor, as well, no? he’s a stand up guy.. who know’s he carries the show with…. so he takes it in stride that he’s asked to “disrobe” his shirt.. lately, plus… he was in a speedo today…
I was laughing so .. at Greg Rikhaart’ Leo antics and schlepping drool over Xander. it was FUN’ny. so yeah, your idea that if Xander could right the Kirakis family with the unfortunate downfall of Leo… would be choice… altho, i’m so looking forward to OUR “Gloria” dancing in Salem. another Y&R mishap lands @DAYS !!! hoorah perhaps she will ignite and fire the denizen of Salem. Leo has really taken off on the show… perhaps “mother” will take the fall for his character redeem? maybe she knows Vivian ?????? it’s just going to be a heart tug to see her , reunite with (Kevin) Leo… one of the wickedest and most loving mother/son relationship. @DAYS WELCOMES Judith Chapman
I’ve wanted Paul Tolfer to be reinvented because he has all the requisite fire for corporate business man about town… and to see if he can truly dance with the ladies… he’s an intrigue…because he keeps coming back… so that in itself is keeper
I love everything you wrote, Patrick…..every idea is en pointe.
I love Xander—what a sight!! HOT!!
Agreed—the fact that Tolfer keeps making an appearance is very telling. He’s not just gorgeous; he’s one amazing actor to boot. I can watch him all day long!! And, the interaction between Xander and Leo was priceless—there’s a definite connection; not sexually—but something!! Brothers?? Hmmmm…. Vivian is his mother? LOL….too much sisterly/brotherly love??
Greg is amazing!! He could very well be “sanctified” along with Xander. ….I had no idea Greg had that comedic gene in him, LOL…..I’m loving it all—Days is on fiya!!
Gloria—yeah—miss her as much as I do Paul (Doug Davidson)….
You know, Patrick, I think Vivian has risen—-I hope so, anyway. It would be fantabulous if “Gloria” and Vivian were sisters?? Imagine that—-add Kate to that scene and we have a Coven!!
Xander off camera was probably told by uncle Vic to help him do exactly that
Wish they hire Doug Davidson as David Banning-who did not die-and could be a new love interest for Kate!!!
Hmmmmm- I like that, Jimmy. Do you think Kate will be ‘good’, again? LOL……this charecter has had continuous ebbs and flows—-back and forth; like a pendulum between good and evil. Which way will she swing next?
Doug does deserve to be on our screen…..I blinked and he was gone…..
❤️
Yes…Kate will be good again-good at being evil-lol
Another renewal…no mystery there…lol.
I’m happy that Days Of Our Lives has been renewed for another year at least but not surprised either because i’m sure we have heard rumors or something if NBC was even cancelling the show.
Awesome
Great and well deserved news! Let’s all do the Hattie dance and drink champagne out of the bottle like Vivian, Marlena and Kate to celebrate!
And now DAYS is ahead of GH in total viewers and all the demos! DAYS is also ahead of B&B in two demos!!
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.

In what could prove to be a massive shake-up ahead, both the TV Academy (ATAS), who presides over the Primetime Emmys, and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), who preside over the Daytime Emmys, are in exploratory reunification discussions to merge the two organizations into one.
Both sides received an overwhelming vote and support from their boards to evaluate what a unified Academy could look like. However there is no formal calendar at this juncture for the discussions. In addition, because of the ongoing unification talks that should occur, the TV Academy board has voted to extend all current sitting Governors’ terms by one year so they can see the process through.
Boards at both organizations voted overwhelmingly to evaluate what a unified Academy could make possible: a strong vision for the Academy’s future, more effective thought leadership for the industry, broader service and support for members coast-to-coast, and new momentum and opportunities across the full complement of national Emmy competitions.

AFTER NEARLY 50 YEARS, CAN THE EMMYS BE UNDER ONE BANNER?
In a joint statement, ATAS and NATAS shared, “Television remains the most powerful medium we have to shape culture and prompt conversations that define us—no matter the size of the screen, With the business of television undergoing such a monumental transformation, this is the right moment to explore a reunification of our Academies, providing our members and our industry with a bolder voice advocating for them and a stronger partner to navigate the future with them.”
If the reunification talks continue, this would be the first time since the two Emmy organizations split back on June 30, 1977 that they have tried to come together, all of this after almost three decades of often uneasy and strained tension between the two.
The most recent joint change came in 2022 when a move of the game show categories went from NATAS to ATAS’ and now are in the Primetime Emmys.
Deadline notes that a unification of the two television academies who overall preside over nighttime and daytime programming would be similar how SAG and AFTRA used to represent performers from completely different dayparts of work.
Could the Daytime Emmys finally see some love in primetime and have their major categories televised as part of the annual kudofest every September? Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony will take place live on Monday, September 14th starting at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT and air on NBC and stream on Peacock emanating from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. While, the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards will take place on Friday, October 30, time to be announced, live from the Hollywood Palladium and will be streamed on watchtheemmys.tv
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) is a service organization dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of television and the promotion of creative leadership for artistic, educational and technical achievements within the television industry. It recognizes excellence in television with the coveted Emmy Awards for News & Documentary, Sports, Daytime and Children’s & Family programming, as well as achievements in television Technology & Engineering.
The Television Academy (ATAS) strives to shape and advance the dynamic television landscape; cultivate a diverse, inclusive and accessible professional community; and advocate for the television industry while capturing the spirit of a new generation of content creators and industry professionals. Through innovative programs, publications and events, the Academy and its Foundation foster and empower storytellers. The Academy also celebrates those who excel in the industry recognizing their achievements through awards and accolades, including the renowned Emmy Award. Membership in the Academy is open to working professionals in the television industry.
So, would you like to see the Primetime Emmy and the Daytime Emmys fold into one show if the two unions reached a unification arrangement? Do you hope that after almost 50 years, the two organizations can finally make some serious headway? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS expressed, “We’re proud to honor the extraordinary talent and creative teams whose work continues to define and elevate daytime television, As the Daytime landscape evolves and new forms of storytelling emerge, we remain committed to recognizing the innovation happening across the industry.”
