As previewed in this week’s Soap Opera Digest, Sweeney related on coming back for this special moment in DAYS history to honor McCay:Â “I think the script was written so beautifully with everyone having a chance to honor her and say nice things about Caroline that reminded us all of the things about Peggy, things we had done with her, or moments we had with her.”

Sometimes it is confusing why some characters are at a funeral, while other aren’t. With Caroline’s funeral, I hope Hope is there. She was her mother-in-law for years. It seemed she had a great connection to Julie and Maggie too. I wish Theresa and Kimberly could have come back too.
Patsy Pease had surgery and was unavailable. Yes, it’s a shame she can’t be there.
I hope Patsy is feeling better
Also her adopted son Max, played by B&Bs Darin Brooks. they were very close during his time on the show. He should have been allowed to come back for the memorial. I do hope Hope, Maggie and Victor are there even though they aren’t in the photo above.
I am sure this show will be very poignant and sad. I loved Caroline and the way she interacted with the other characters. I also loved Peggy McCay, the great actress that made Caroline come to life. I remember her movies from way back, she was so beautiful, and it was certainly to our advantage to have this bright star on Days. Her hair and the way she was so beautifully made up and dressed put a lot of the other women to shame, with their crazy clothes, blue hair, etc. R.I.P Ms.McCay, you will never be forgotten.
c
This is a nice thing that Days is doing.She is missed.God bless Peggy and her family,Days as well.
Soaps lack a good patriarch and matriarch with a moral compass…actually all of tv lacks a moral compass with so much gloom and doom,,,bathroom humor and lame sex jokes being the norm…tv has gone down the toilet-i keep flushing but all that crap comes back up!!!…i rarely watch anymore!!!
I agree with you 100% Jimh…people might laugh but I miss the days of The Walton’s and Little House on the Prairie.
I still watch those…
I’m glad Sami and Carrie could come back. It will be sad. Hopefully lots of memories and flashbacks.
This is why I continue to watch, respect, revere, this art form we know a soap opera. Like life, sometimes you can’t be there to pay respects – due to surgery, logistics, work, or because you already said your goodbyes. These shows when done property, honestly and with heart & love…bring us together. Like a comfortable hug makes me forget for o moment & feel and remember when…reflect on growing up & takes me back instantly. Not a daily viewer of the 4 currently shows, happen to be on sabbatical & will tune in absolutely. Arcs like this are the best, especially when actors come back, like family, and cross our paths in life again. Days…make us laugh, make us cry, make us care! No fan like a soap fan. Smiles.
^^^^ GOD
Christie Clark is not only beautiful, but a STANDOUT … whose grown up adult maturity would be so refreshing… that Horton/Brady beacon of having that one – heroine – to carry the torch.
can you imagine Carrie running in to Rafe with Danny !!!!! ????? how the love at first sight LIGHTS UP ALL OUR WORLD?
I have been agonizing for Lani… just LOVING < this story. Galen Gerring gets to act on his OWN. he is not being propped or needs to prop. this is HIS OWN STUFF. and he's magnet
this is savor
whet ALL our engine
OH GOD the material potential is all lying in wait. @Ron Carlivati get it NOW. HUGE windfall; payout; DREAM comes ALIVE
Christie Clark NEEDS TO BE
I got to watch about a half hour of the show ,as usual NBC had to interrupt my show.I cried when I saw this.I lost my mom last June she was 91 but I know the feeling of losing someone you really love.Peggy was class act.Nice job by Days.
an outstanding episode with the highlight being victor and hope allison sweeney rules and can visit anytime for a long time viewer the episode was gold
More casting news from Days of Our Lives, and for now, the soap opera seems to be breaking their new additions to Salem via their Instagram account. Now comes word and picture on August 24, that General Hospital and The Young and the Restless alum Brytni Sarpy has joined DAYS!
The Peacock soap opera’s Instagram account, showed a photo of Sarpy standing in front of her dressing room in the hallways of Days of Our Lives’ studios. The caption read, “Someone new is checking into Salem… Welcome Brytni Sarpy to the Days of our Lives family! Stay tuned.”
The casting of Sarpy comes on the heels of the announcement of Sydney Malakeh coming to the show in September, and earlier this year General Hospital favorite, Sofia Mattsson (ex-Sasha Gilmore, GH) joining the show in a mystery role when she began taping back around the end of March of this year. Now Sarpy is the “mystery role” category too!

SOAP HOPPING
Soap fans first met Sarpy when she played Valerie Spencer, the niece of Luke (Anthony Geary) and Bobbie Spencer (Jackie Zeman) on General Hospital back in 2015. She made her final appearance on the series back in 2019 to join the cast of The Young and the Restless in the role of Elena Dawson.
Elena was introduced as a love interest for Devon Winters (Bryton James). She later cheated on him with his cousin Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic). Elena began to be back-burned by 2023 with Sarpy’s last on-screen appearance in Genoa City in November of 2024.
Due to Days of Our Lives nearly year in advance tape schedule, viewers will have to wait till sometime in the early summer of 2027 to see Brytni’s arrival in Salem.
So, happy to see Brytni Sarpy has landed another soap role? Now that she is at DAYS, who you think she might be playing and paired with? Put on your casting director hats and let us know via the comment section.

Sydney Malakeh Joins the Cast of ‘Days of Our Lives’ in Mystery Role: Who Do You Think She’s Playing?
There’s a new gal coming to Salem, or is she new and a recast? That’s what inquiring minds from Days of Our Lives fans have been trying to figure out since the Peacock soap opera dropped an Instagram video heralding actress‘ Sydney Malakeh‘s arrival in Salem.
The soap did confirm that viewers will first see Malakeh on the September 9 episode. In the video, Malakeh is seen going set to set from her dressing room and in to the halls of Days of Our Lives studios.
What we do know id that Sydney has been acting professionally for 6 years and had appeared on Grey’s Anatomy, Apple TV’s Shrinking and the HBO Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls.
Plenty of Malakeh’s DAYS castmates jumped into the comment thread with positive emojis symbols or written excitement including: Paul Telfer (Xander), Linsey Godfrey (Sarah), Sal Stowers (Lani), Conner Floyd (Chad), Eric Martsolf (Brady) and Christie Clark (Carrie) and more now that fans will finally see her on-air. Since Days of Our Lives tapes 10-11 months in advance, Sydney would have started taping the show sometime back in 2025.
DAYS fans think perhaps because the actress’ name is Sydney that she might be playing the grown-up daughter of Sami and EJ. That character hasn’t bee on the canvas since 2021.
So, who do you think Sydney Malakeh might be playing on Days of Our Lives? Drop your casting director thoughts via the comment section below.

Peacock Hikes Subscription Rates for Fourth Time in Four Years; ‘Days of Our Lives’ Fans Sound Off
While recently the streaming service Peacock reported turning a profit for its first time since its infancy, now comes word that the company is raising their prices for all customers, and in some cases it stared today on August 18.
The news of the subscription rate increases marks the fourth time the NBCUniversal streaming platform has done so in four years. So, on August 18, Peacock is increasing the prices for new or returning subscribers and customers, while current subscribers will see the rate increase on or after September 17 depending on their billing cycle when they initially signed up.
Here is the new pricing to follow along: Peacock Premium (which includes ads) will be $12.99/month, up two dollars from $10.99; Peacock Premium Plus will be $19.99/month, up three dollars increase from $16.99; and the Peacock Select tier (which includes current and past seasons of NBC and Bravo shows but excludes movies, live sports and Peacock originals) will increase a dollar from $7.99 to $8.99/month.

SUBSCRIBERS CONTINUE TO PAY MORE ACROSS THE STREAMER LANDSCAPE
It was back in June that the streamer reported that aid subscribers were up to 48 million adding a 2 million net gain during Q2 in of 2026. The subscription price hikes are rampant now in the entertainment streaming industry where over the last two years for example, Netflix, HBO Max, Apple TV, Paramount+ have all raised their fees to consumers.
Peacock’s tier-levels feature not only Days of Our Lives, but reality hits such as The Traitors and Love Island USA, Bravo series, and a vault of Saturday Night Live, Law & Order, The Real Housewives franchise, and Below Deck episodes as well. Pecock Premium and Premium Plus subscribers have access to sports and live events, as well.
DAYS OF OUR LIVES SUBSCRIBERS HAD A FEW CHOICE WORDS FOR PEACOCK
As Days of Our Lives fans know, the soap opera moved from NBC to the streamer back in September of 2022 after 57 years on broadcast television. When the news hit X on the price increase, DAYS fans had a lot to say about it. Here are just a few of the comments below:
“I can’t believe Peacock and can’t come to a deal with Cordya to air old episodes of #Days. That alone would bring a ton of subscribers,” to If Peacock actually cared about #Days of Our Lives, gave the show the budget it needs for better sets, cameras, background actors and enough time to tell proper stories, I wouldn’t mind paying more. If the money actually showed on screen, the higher price would be worth it,” to “I will continue to pay for a Peacock subscription as long as #Days is on it, but did we know there was another price increase coming?” and more.
So, what do you think of the new price hike increase to watch Days of Our Lives and your other favorite shows and events on Peacock? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
