NBC Unveils Days of our Lives Fall Season Promo Featuring Surprise Returns!
Salem is the place to be these days, and if you want more proof, look no further than this can’t-miss extended fall promo released on Friday by NBC.
In the promo it says, “This fall only one show gives you romance” and we go to a hot potentially steamy moment from CIN! (Ciara and Ben). Then, an emotional Eric confronts Brady!
Next, the promo says the show is about to explode with surprise returns! In it we see: Dr. Rolf, Ted, Sheila, Nicole, Mimi, Rex, Xander, Sarah, and more.
Check out the moment between Eric Martsolf and Kyle Lowder; which has the perfect “wink wink” nod to longtime fans of the NBC series about to celebrate its 53rd anniversary in November.
And, Sami is seen watching over who she hopes to be EJ, and it all comes to a conclusion with Abigail going into labor as Chad helps deliver the baby. Big DAYS are ahead!
Watch the promo below, and then let us know who you are looking forward to seeing the most this fall on DAYS via the comment section below.

Days continues to deliver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!how great are the 2 brady;s
“absolutely, I’m so looking forward to this much meet. twice the dice play as it were meet in
it’s a testosterone meets testosterone… seriously MAGIC it happens
these are a “…HOT tWO ”
catch it
Ok…looks interesting enough but is Vivian ever coming back???
She’ll have to gone for at least a year. Remember? This is DOOL and they know how to drag out a story that takes forever to get any resolution. At least they didn’t go the way of the other shows that now give the payoff quickly. DOOL makes us wait which is the way soaps were always done back in the day.
Didn’t she say in an exit interview that she has no interest in going back that the show is too fast paced or something ?
I’m excited for Ben and Ciara! Can’t wait to see their story really take off.
A cold-blooded murderer? No way! That one of the single big mistakes that ALL soaps have made–falling in love with murderers and bringing them back. NO WAY!
A huge mistake, which Days are already paying for! Days’ hard-gained ratings recovery COLLAPSED when they forced Ciara together with Ben!
It’s crazy. It’s *obviously* crazy. It shatters the make-believe of the show! How can one watch the young female protagonist WANT TO BE WITH the murderer of three women, and Will? The first two killings were premeditated brutal murders, to frame an innocent guy that he was jealous of! Next he murdered his friend and fiancée’s cousin to cover it up, and then chained up his fiancée whilst she gave birth, and murdered the midwife! And then tried to burn his fiancée alive! And Ciara is a relative of three of the victims to boot!
Ciara having any interest in him at all shatters the make-believe of the show, and, despite folks liking RSW and VK’s chemistry on social media (and clearly they are good and likeable actors) it is clear from the ratings collapse that Days is not getting away with this outrageously braindead and inauthentic plotting. Fans want to see intelligent young women, acting intelligently! Days is so reckless! They don’t have any viewers they can afford to throw away! I feel they are playing with their fate with this one!
Well said!
Well now it looks more and more like Tripp is the one that planted the evidence against Ben which in turn will make Ciara resent him and fall back into Ben’s arms. She’ll be doubly pissed because she just slept with Tripp and will accuse him of framing Ben so she would be with him.
Tripp’s about to be tripped up!
And Ben planted evidence and framed Chad for MURDER!
So how will Days handle it when Ciarra finds out about Tripp planting evidence? Will they bring up the fact that Ben did that, and in a far more serious way? Will they confront Ciarra with those facts? I doubt it very much, because the whole Ciarra-Ben story depends upon nobody properly confronting her with the hard truths about Ben!
Days only seem to care about pushing Ben and the Ciara-Ben relationship. They even had Commissioner Hope NOT THINKING TO CHECK Ben’s previous crime scenes when she had reason to believe Ben had taken her daughter, despite the fact the place where Ben held Abigail was WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE of where Ciarra crashed her bike!!! This is the level of not-giving-a-damn about rationality the show is at!
And in all this, the scripts are playing for sympathy for the murderer, whilst the reasonable people are put in the roles of the villains. No thanks Days! No, just NO.
No thank you Days, I’m not buying!
This is formula that soaps have been writing for years. Bad boy (or girl) turns good and a main character falls for him or her. The fan base for Sonny on GH, a murderer who killed AJ, who just admitted he killed another man 30 years ago who he never knew but was ordered to do so and boasts that he “has no regrets” is put up as the center of the show. Every crime he commits or has committed is justified by his fans. He’s a “good guy” with a “heart of gold” who “only” kills when he has to. “Has to” includes when the guy steals his territory, knows too much or wants his own biological son back. Luke was made into a hero after the “rape” which isn’t a rape anymore. Franco was a serial killer on GH but had a tumor. (I’m buying that one; that he was ill and wasn’t in control of his abberrant behavior. It’s the only way to accept Roger as Franco and keep him on the show so I went with it and I’ve been able to put his “alter” past in the past.
Ben is gorgeous and that’s a great recipe for these “passionate” love stories. (In no way justifying it; just citing the history of it.) If his murderous spree is explained away due to a medical condition and not from diabolical evil, then one can see how Ciara sees him; as the sexy, misunderstood, wrongly accused hot guy who saved her life and needs her. Again, not defending it but these stories had a place on soaps. Not sure if it’ll fly in today’s world.
Then again, people voted for and still support a man who was accused of sexual misconduct, who defended a pedophile and is currently disparaging/mocking/humiliating the woman who accused him. And his crowd roars approval.
Soaps aren’t half as sad as parts of reality.
Ciara will probably get pregnant…Trip’s or Ben’s!!!!
This is what ReRon Carlivati does. Turns a serial killer into his own personal pet and then demands that everybody love the serial killer and accept him as “666% totally redeemed”. You can bet your soul that Ben’s crimes will be explained away by a mysterious brain tumor within the next few months.
Thank god for days! Cant wait for a Ericole reunion!
DAYS has so much to gush about
can’t wait
it’s stirring
It looks like all these problems with Ben turn Hope into Princess Gina??????
One version of Princess Gina was a doppleganger and the other version was an alternate personality induced by a brain chip.
Either way, it’s the type of story that ReRon likes to beat to death. Enough already with the damn doubles.
Can’t wait!
Hooray, Xander! Always more Xander!
Love this! Days is so great and this promo has me pumped for this fall in Salem.
Hummm, just wonder if their will be any awkwardness with Arianne/Nicole and her ex-husband Kyle Lowder both coming back at the same time.I used to wonder that about others having to separate real and reel, such as Sean and Chloe who were together for years and Vickie and J.t, ( Y&R) married and divorced, then being on the same show together.

George Cheeks, CBS President & CEO, on Timeline to Launch New Daytime Drama, ‘The Gates’: “We’re So Focused on Getting it Right”
March 2024 will be remembered in the TV and soap world when the news broke that CBS is prepping a brand new daytime drama. Many had thought a major network would never bring a new daytime soap into the world, given that the last time it was attempted was 25 years ago when the now defunct Passions bowed on NBC.
However, The Gates is definitely in development and moving forward with some major players associated with it including: Michele Val Jean as The Gates writer, showrunner and one of its executive producers, and Sheila Ducksworth from NAACP Venture
Now, for the first time since its announcement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer for news and sports at Paramount+, spoke on the project that will feature a Black family as its central focus who live in a wealthy gated community.
Speaking with Vulture, and when asked if The Gates is really something that truly has a chance of getting on the air, Cheeks clarified, “It’s super real. And just to give you a little bit of the backstory, when we hired Sheila Ducksworth to run the NAACP Venture, she and I had multiple meetings talking about what different genres she was going to lean into, and we talked a lot about daytime.”
Cheeks added, “One of the things that the data made very clear to both of us is that daytime soap operas over index with Black women, and yet when you look at soap operas, it’s usually sort of a white-led family with supporting characters that reflect more of our society. So we just thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to flip that and make the core anchor family a Black family, and then make the other characters reflect more the broader scope of society?”
The CEO gave props to Michele Val Jean, and how Ducksworth came to the table with the former B&B and GH writer. “She found this great writer, Michele Val Jean, who’s been in the soap opera space for 30 years. She came up with a pitch, and we loved it,” shares Cheeks. “We brought Procter & Gamble into it as well, because if there were going to be (product) integrations, we could do it more holistically and organically. All of that is to say, we did a lot of work on the front end to put this together. So while yes, it’s development, it’s accelerated development.”
When prodded on the timeline of when The Gates could come to full fruition, Gates related, “The actual timeline and when we’re going to do it is still uncertain, because we want to get this right. I mean, there hasn’t been a new soap opera launch since I can’t even begin to tell you when. But we have great success with Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless, and so we think we’re the right folks to be launching a new soap. I wish I could tell you more about exact timing, but we’re so focused on getting it right, and that will dictate when we’re ready to launch it.”
The CBS exec also shared that whether The Gates will wind up an hour soap or half-hour is not yet determined, but that it is being developed as an hour show.
So, after reading what George Cheeks, the CBS President & CEO had to say about ‘The Gates’, are you even more excited for what looks to the first new network soap in 25 years? Comment below.

51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Announce Broadcast Date on CBS
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) revealed on Tuesday, that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Friday night, June 7th (8 – 10 PM, ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+*.
This year will mark the 18th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmy Awards, which is more than any other network.
The 2024 Daytime Emmys will take place at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles. Back in December of 2023, the delayed 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were also held at that venue. The June 7th date for the upcoming ceremony will be the first time in several years that the event is scheduled a few weeks earlier than normal; excluding last year’s revised date to the actors and writers strikes.
Lifetime Achievement honoree, nominations, host, and additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.
In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS noted, “We eagerly anticipate our return in June as we once again partner with CBS to recognize the exceptional and talented individuals who make daytime television great. We’re thrilled to kick off our second half-century of the Daytime Emmys.”
The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will once again be produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI), which produced Daytime Emmy Award ceremonies on The CW in 2009 and on CBS in 2010, 2011, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer from ATI.
So, glad to know that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards honoring performance and shows in the 2023 calendar year, will be held in early June this year, and once again broadcast on CBS? Comment below.
