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.
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.
