In addition, fans will be encouraged to use the hashtag #SnoopOLTL to share their own “Snoopified” images and favorite moments from the new Snoop Lion episodes all over social media.

Arianne Zucker Reveals Her Last Days of our Lives Airdate
Arianne Zucker, who is no longer on contract with Days of our Lives, and involved in a lawsuit against the show, took to her You Tube channel and in her latest episode, and offered up what she believes is her final airdate as Nicole Walker DiMera.
The actress expressed: “I was really appreciative of the amount of support that I have had since leaving Days of our Lives.” She then added, “My last airdate, I think, it’s July 29th and we’ll see how things go after that.”
Zucker went on to say how she has continued to receive overwhelming support since suing her former employer, Corday Productions, with the allegations that former Co-EP Albert Alarr sexually harassed her and other females at the show, and that the production company entity did not respond sufficiently and adequately.

After lodging her complaints, Zucker said her agents received two notices that Corday Productions were reducing her pay before her character was ultimately written off. Zucker’s contract expired in January and since DAYS tapes over six months ahead it brings her final airdate, which as of now, to the end of July. Zucker is suing for harassment, discrimination, retaliation, negligent hiring and supervision, and wrongful termination among other claims.
Previously, Corday Productions issued this statement on Zucker’s claims: “The allegations in Ms. Zucker’s lawsuit are without merit. Corday Productions, offered to renew Ms. Zucker’s contract including offering her a pay increase. Rejecting Ms. Zucker’s counteroffer does not constitute retaliation. Complaints about Mr. Alarr’s on-set behavior were promptly investigated. Corday Productions fully cooperated with the impartial investigation and subsequently terminated Mr. Alarr.”
On her You Tube channel, Arianne went on to thank everyone who came out to the east coast fan event last weekend that featured several DAYS stars. She expressed, “My whole goal is to really help people stand up for themselves.” Arianne also shared she thinks it’s important for people who have gone through trauma to help each other through it.

On DAYS, Nicole is still in the dark that Sloan (Jessica Serfaty) is raising her child, Jude, with Eric (Greg Vaughan), and Eric also doesn’t know that he is raising his biological son. Will Eric and Nicole reunite and will Nicole find out what Sloan, Melinda and Leo (Greg Rikaart) have been hiding for months, before she exits the show? Stay tuned. There has been on official confirmation from DAYS that July 29th is Zucker’s final airdate.
You can check out Ari’s latest episode from her You Tube Channel below.
Now let us know, do you think somehow DAYS and Arianne will work these out and she will somehow be back on the show? What do you think Nicole’s exit will look like? Do you think they will recast? Let us know in the comment section below.

REPORT: Nicholas Chavez Not Returning to General Hospital
For those who were holding out hope that Daytime Emmy winner and fan favorite, Nicholas Chavez would be returning to General Hospital after filming his leading role in Ryan Murphy’s Monsters anthology, it looks like those hopes have been dashed.
According to a report from TV Line, although unconfirmed from General Hospital or a representative for Chavez, the actor will not reprise his role as Spencer Cassadine on the long-running ABC soap opera and continue the love story of Sprina opposite Tabyana Ali (Trina, GH).
Chavez was cast as Lyle Menendez over the the summer of 2023 for the second season of Murphy’s limited Monsters series on Netflix. In the upcoming season, the series will focus on the the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, the two well-to-do Beverly Hills brothers accused of murdering their parents in 1989.

After word from Chavez casting was revealed, GH fans were concerned over the fate of the Sprina story, a spokesperson for GH shared, “We support Nicholas’ endeavors and look forward to having him return to General Hospital once this project is wrapped.”
In story, the series “killed off” Spencer when he went overboard with Esme to the steely waters below after being injected with a drug, thanks to Esme and falling into the Seine River in France. However, his body was never recovered, and believed to have drowned or washed away. Thus, leaving an opening for Spencer to return in the form of Chavez or be recast down the line.

TV Line shared that ‘multiple sources’ are confirming that Chavez is not returning to the ABC soap opera, which is what many had suspected might be the case once he left for this major starring role in a Ryan Murphy project. Chavez has been relatively quiet on social media for months.

The Michael Fairman Channel spoke with Nicholas Chavez for a virtual interview when he first joined the show in 2021, and spoke to him right after when he won the Daytime Emmy in 2022 – you can see those below.
No word yet on when Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story will debut on Netflix, but it is assumed later this year.

That was good..
I don’t understand why they want him on this show?!?! He can’t act and he’s not a good role model for anyone-not just kids.
Id rather see guest appearances by some of the vets like Jessica, Roxie or R.J.
“I don’t understand why they want him on this show?!?! He can’t act and he’s not a good role model for anyone-not just kids.”
Wait, so this show should only feature characters who are good role models? Um…this is a show where 2 of the main characters are not only rapists but also brothers who at different times raped the same woman. So if viewers were able to accept that without falling to pieces, I don’t think Snoop playing himself for a few episodes is going to bring about the downfall of audience morality and rise in juvenile delinquency.
It’s all fiction…people shouldn’t look to entertainment for their role models.
(BTW…”madluv4ya” doesn’t sound like the name of an appropriate role model. Land sakes…won’t someone think of the children?!)
As for his acting ability being a reason Snoop shouldn’t appear…if that’s the criteria for who gets to be on this show, Snoop should be a regular cast member and Andrew Trischitta should be working at a Foot Locker in the mall,
I’m not even a big fan of Snoop’s, but I appreciate that he’s a very vocal fan of the show. And he’s been on several times over the years, so this isn’t just another gimmicky casting choice (like Jwoww).
Totally agree with what you posted. Also soaps are not meant for children really. And it is not as if Snoop comes on the show and does nothing but swear and do immoral things!
Oh great…just what this show DOESNT need.
Snoop dogg…Snoop lion…Snooze whenever he appears!
LoL – nothing against Snoop but c’mon the show needs a helping hand in another way ~
not as bad as that other guy they had guest star earlier that was an odd, out of place character, at the Shelter club. You know who I mean? he had odd hair, manerisms, tats or piercings… think he’s a rapper?
Snoops ok. They’ve had several musical guests in the past.
I welcome Snoop Lion. He is a great actor and an avid OLTL lover os if we have a celebrity why not let it be someone who loves the show and has been on before.
People need to role model themselves and their own children, his wife isn’t complaining and I don’t hear about his kids being busted on shows like TMZ so obviously he is doing somethhing right. As for him not being an actor or being able to act, check his roster he has done several productions ond movies on the big screen, although not an emmy winner but he can act. Yall act like people gotta be award winners to appear on this show and you sound like haters.
I love One life to live new theme song and I love the full version even more. I get so frustrated when I hearba song I enjoy but its not available for purchase. It would have made sense if they had release the theme song when the first episode was made available. I can only hope they will make” Brand new start” available to the millions of fans for One Life To Live.
Having Snoop is great!
He has more fans than all of the OLTL cast put together..
I like snoop !!
Seems some people are too old and grumpy to enjoy life and changes theses days..
I had not heard the entire theme song. It is a beautiful song and the vocals are wonderful. Thank you for posting the link.
Welcome back Snoop. I’m so glad that he is a OLTL fan and not afraid to put his talent where his mouth is by writing the new theme song and by appearing. This die hard OLTL fan greatly appreciates his efforts.
I just don’t get it. People have been so upset every since these 2 shows were cancelled and now that we have been lucky enough to get them back people just can’t stop complaining about them! Good grief people they are just getting their feet wet and you are all ready to throw them an anchor. Can’t you all just be greatful that they are back and give them some time?
You don’t like the stories,the actors,the writers,the guests,how long the episodes run,how often the episodes run. Now you don’t like it because they are not good role models for kids. If you want role models for the kids then go watch Sesame Street.
I am very happy that these shows are back and if maybe something about them disappoints me I get past it. I wanted them back,got them back and I will not ever utter one complaint about them because I don’t want to lose them again.
Sorry just had to vent.
Very well said.
With OLTL airing only a total of 48 minutes a week, why the hell are they wasting my time with this drivel? These Snoop scenes will just be more to skip through. I’m already skipping at least 1/3 of the show now…if I skip anymore I might as well just stop watching.
Hey, I think I’m going to be saving myself $7.99 a month! 😉
They aren’t wasting your time…you are. If you feel that way why do you bother to tune in?
Stop wasting your time and go to the gym or something if that’s how you feel.
One word: Ugh.
