Oh, this is looking to be good! I didn’t see this happening. And, I’m intrigued. I guess, this event will help or hurt Will’s secret affair with Paul. It’s anyone’s guess. Paul will want to see Sonny, for sure. I think Paul and Will will fit the pieces of the puzzle together, while Sonny is in hospital, in a coma? Then, Sonny will get better, released…but the two men will keep the secret to themselves for the sake of Sonny’s recovery.

and, …I guess Clyde will be found dead? Bummer. I really think James Read is a fine actor.

I don’t think Clyde is dead. I hope James Read is here for a long time, he’s fantastic.

I don’t know that Clyde is really dead. If the police don’t find the body and declare you dead, it’s pretty iffy on these soaps. Sometimes even when they police are involved, death doesn’t always take. OLTL fans will remember Mitch Laurence. I agree with others here. James Read is a terrific actor.

yeah, Clyde is good at playing games. I did have a feeling that he might have wore a bullet proof vest.

and,…what about Paul’s big secret? Will Will’s article be pointless and put on-hold? Will Theresa see Paul confessing his love to Sonny, at the hospital, and then Paul is outed by Theresa? So many possibilities here. Days is getting good!!!

Days is so fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I would love to see more of “T”, (he works at Club TBD), he’s longing for some loving. Who is the actor who plays “T”? He’s cute.

Maybe, he can turn bi? That would be wild! and ironic.

Brendan Coughlin : T as in Tad Stevens

I love how his eyes sparkle… with that smile…. temptations

@ Patrick, yes, his sparkly BLUE eyes. He’s got a great smile, he’s just fun and radiant, and I wish DAYS would utilize him more. I would be interested to see him try to purse Abby, or for fun… get tempted by Paul!!! Tad or T, I believe was not cool, at first with Will being gay. I think it would be hot if Tad got tempted by Paul, and became bi. Why not?

I think all will come to a head. Paul and Will will see each other at the hospital and wonder why the other is there. It will come out how they are connected to Sonny, then all H*ll will break loose! It is going to be so good! I hope this does make Will take his head out of his…umm backside?..lol I am not opposed to Adrienne and Lucas. It will be odd for the boys but Justin has been gone too long without coming to see his wife and from what is indicated he has a secret as well. Lucas is there for her in her time of need and this IS a soap so we all know what is probably going to happen 😉 I want Will to have to fight for Sonny, for his forgiveness. A lot of groveling and begging needs to be done. Sonny didn’t deserve this from Will. Also I think once Adrienne and Justin hear just why this happened to Sonny, Victor will get an earful for putting Sonny in danger even though, he should have known better, he didn’t see this coming.

I would like to see this version play out on screen. It would be good to see Will’s remorse drive him to become “husband of the year” and then have Sonny find out what happened between Will and Paul when he and Will are in a good place in their marriage — making it all the more dramatic. Not sure we’ll get this much build up, but I can hope.

I would like to see Lucas with someone, and while I don’t know if he and Adrienne are a good match, it would certainly add to the drama in Will and Sonny’s life.

I like Paul and would like to see his paternity revealed. As with many others, I think he’s John’s son. Another interesting twist that will add Marlena to the mix.

@ Carolyn, yeah Paul’s paternity would be interesting to learn. Paul has only mentioned his mother and grandfather. And, they don’t want to visit Salem either, why does Paul’s mother, especially… not want to visit her son in to Salem? hmm. And, let’s not forgot those two encounters between John and Paul.

As far as Lucas and Adrienne go– I wouldn’t have put them together but there really isn’t anyone else on canvas for either. I’m ready for Lucas to have a love story of significance, so I’ll give it a chance. I think I could see Lucas getting paired with Melissa Archer.

As far as the guys go- we already know Paul is leaving and the truth about the triangle has to come out at some point. I do like Victor & the Kiriakis family getting a story– seems like a great time to me to bring back Phillip or intro 1 of Sonny’s brothers.

Paul isn’t going anywhere. The actor is on contract til 2016 I believe. Two year contract.

thank the soap gods…. Reagan… you gave me a start

whew!

Paul has brought SO much… to the canvas…. it’s rocking

go Victor
c’mon Adrienne
at last more Lucas

don’t you just love Freddie Smith…. and yeah… as shared, w/MF… Sonny IS the last of the good guys…. just LOVE him to bits

Pauls past catches up to him… “he did ask Sonny to marry him”

what’s not to love

I’m ecstatic !

hey Alex, that’s good news. Where did you get/read the info on the actors contract?

I hate to see Sonny get hurt but this will be some really great emotional scenes for Freddie Smith to play and I am excited for this opportunity for him to show us how talented he is in this role. Guy Wilson has the same opportunity to reveal his emotional side as Will deals with the gravity of the situation with his husband being severely injured. Also we will see how Paul deals with the situation as portrayed by Christopher Sean. Judi Evans and Bryan Datillo are going be great as they deal with the situation as Adrienne and Lucas. I am not sure how I feel about a possible affair between those two characters but I am looking forward to seeing this whole story play out. The WilSon storyline is the best one on Days as far as I am concerned.

What I hope for this story is that Sonny recovers fully first. Please god, no paralysis story.
Second, I want Sonny to find the truth about his husband’s betrayal and the tptb to allow the character to get a divorce. Will and Sonny need a MAJOR LONG BREAK away from each other. I prefer eternal break. Some people aren’t meant to be and I never felt their love. They were the two gay guys on the show and of course they got together.

I would like to see Sonny and Paul get a second chance. That would be hard of course since Paul is now the man Will cheated on with but PaulSon loved each other very much in the past and Paul still does and I think Sonny is does too. Is just buried. PaulSon have a lot of road blocks to over come. I want to see that story unfold this year. Since they are trying to turn Will into Sami 2.0, he probably won’t let Sonny go easily.

Will has to lose Sonny as punishment. I think Will needs to lose everything (except his child) over this. He neglected Sonny first and cheated on him without hesitation. Sonny has been there for him and stuck by him with everything. Will needs to grow up. He is not ready for mature relationship. He is emotionally unstable. He needs to be single father and actually take care of his daughter. We see Sonny, Lucas, Adrienne and heck even John and Marlena take care of her these days then him. All Will seems to care about is his article and making name for himself. He is very self involved and selfish.

I also would like to see Sonny become more of a Kiriakis after everything they are making him go through. All the emotional and physical trauma he is going to experience has to change him somehow. I would like to see Victor mentor him. I want to see him deal with Chad once/if Chad’s duplicity comes out about the club.

I don’t think I’m going to get any of this. This show loves to make everything about Will. I don’t find Will interesting and he is now even played by not so great actor. We spend the last 4 years focused on Will. I don’t expect the show to change their tune on this. So I expected to constantly SMH at this story or even end up stop watching it down the line. I have no interest in seeing Sonny make a fool of himself and take his cheating lying coward of a husband back. I have no interest in seeing Sonny playing house while Will is off driving the story and sleeping around with other men specially men that happen to be Sonny’s ex loves.

As for Justin/Adrienne/Lucas stuff. I’m just glad these great actors and characters are getting some type of story and screen time. I hope that in the end, Justin and Adrienne work out their issues. Lets not destroy all super couples show. Unlike Will and Sonny, Justin and Adrienne are actual supercouple.

Sorry for the essay.
Love, Lex

I really like the context… that … without doubt : Paul and Sonny truly loved each other…

every person has their OWN coming out experience… and to share it… in whatever capacity… is instrumental

I honestly think i’d have moved on as well.. even though love never left either of them

Sonny deserved to have that open relationship… so he moved on with his heart for Paul

lets look at this as Sonny first love

this is what it is… sharing Sonny backstory… doesn’t lessen Sonny and Will… I totally agree with LeeAnn… this forward march of coop de ta … gives Freddy Smith and Guy Wilson inroads and drive to acting chop for the audience

doesn’t Christopher Sean effortlessly appeal all his presence.. dag!

ummhhh : Lucas and Adrienne

couldn’t agree more… if this gives us more of two of the finest actors screen time… I don’t see this palatable… but… it’s time for Judy Evans to forefront.. and she nails her time

Judy Evans and Mary Beth Evans… TWO of the FINEST Loveliest… warmest… HOTTEST… god… they are thee best!

I like the idea.. that this will give Adrienne something to fester about… till Justin returns… and if it’s true, as shared… he also has his own secret… then lets have at it…
Kiriakis trump

celebration DrOOL

I’m all about Judi Evans (Adrienne) & Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) for more screen time and deeper stories. Justin will return, though I’m not keen on a romance between Lucas and Adrienne. Someone else suggested a Lucas and Serena pairing, that could be more interesting than Eric and Serena. Lucas definitely needs a solid love interest. Kayla needs a man, too. I’m hoping Days will write more for Adrienne, Kayla, and Lucas, and Abe, too! It may be useful to recast Lexi and bring her back from the dead. Or, maybe Abe and Kayla pairing? DAYS utilize Judi Evans and Mary Beth!

Well, the focus being on Will was always a pleasure as long as Chandler Massey was in the role. But now, the bad acting has reached a point where it just has to stop if they don’t lose even more viewers than they already have. Only someone who’s blind wouldn’t see that Paul and Sonny are the ones who should be front and center, together. And Spencer Neville proved within a couple of episodes that HE should be on the show instead of that new version of Will that has been shoved down our throats for over a year only because the egomaniacs running (and ruining) this show won’t admit what a huge mistake they made when they treated Chandler Massey like crap, virtually fired him and rushed to that recast.

I soooo agree with you, Brian. Ditto to your every word.
I have missed so many episodes….I haven’t even had the ‘urge’ to watch, as I normally would.
The JJ, Paige, Eve triangle should have never happened. So stupid. If it was meant to arouse interest or give the storyline a titillating twist, it failed. Seeing Eve and JJ in bed made my stomach revolt . She’s what? Thirty-five years older? TPTB should not have even gone there

I like Sonny with Paul. NuWill just does not cut it with anyone…no looks to speak of, and no talent. JMO.
Is Paul’s hotel waiter a baddie? What was that creepy look he gave Sonny’s folder as he lay it on the table? Is he spying on Paul? What is all the subterfuge about?

Then, we are faced with another don’t -waste-my-time-storyline involving Aidan. Is the shovel symbolic of his Jekyll and Hyde split personality? He’s a respected lawyer by day, and a grave-digger by night? LOL. ..oh, man…so scary! Please, where is the originality?

Of course, we cannot forget the two resident-holy -and -righteous, and so inspiring twosome who can do no wrong; Daniel and Eric. I’m ready to start pulling my hair out…ugh.

@ CeeCee – yeah. those shovels with Aidan were interesting – nice notation that it could be what you described. very good!
As for JJ and Paige, I really hope the writers make Paige more active. I think she’s a really talented actress. I hope JJ & Paige’s love will conquer the screw-up JJ made my sleeping with Eve, what twice? I too, am really growing tired of watching Daniel and Eric, and Melanie!
don’t pull your hair out, I believe Kristen Di Mera is back this month!

Sonny will become paralyzed…Paul will sneak a few visits…Will catches Paul telling an unconcious Sonny that he loves him…Will learns Paul is Sonnys ex and Paul learns Will is Sonnys husband…both decide to keep there whoopie moment a secret as well that Paul is gay…Paul agrees to stay away from Will and Sonny so they can work on their marriage but Paul is hearbroken…Sonny wakes up with amnesia and unable to walk…Will takes Sonny home but sleep in seperate rooms because Sonny doesnt remember who Will is…Will promises Sonny he will help him get his memory back and the use of his legs…Sonny is crippled but he’s only pretending to have amnesia because he overheard Will and Pauls conersation and knows they slept together…what is Sonny up to?…ok, this wont happen but i wish it would turn out this way!…i also wish Nicole would sucker punch Daniel and bitch slap Erik who are constantly knocking Nicole down and never have her back…give poor Nicole a break…please!!!

Gosh, now they even almost kill Sonny only to continue pimping NuWill. Fans were so excited when NuWill was out of town and we thought that SONNY would finally get his own story, front and center together with PAUL!! These execs and writers sure know how to keep DAYS’ ratings in the toilet. Only totally blind people wouldn’t see that NuWill and NuWilSon just DON’T work. Zero chemistry and bad acting. The contrast to OriginalWilSon, Chandler and Freddie, couldn’t be any sharper. Will it take them another year to finally make a change??? I’m only watching for PaulSon!!

Couldn’t agree with you more. NuWill has zero chemistry with all the characters and the acting is incredibly bad. There is no way that Guy WilSon will be able to pull off any emotional feeling that he would need to in order to make this storyline believable. He has one facial expression and a year later continues to deliver lines like he is just reading them, no emotion or any clue as to what is really happening. Same expression if the character is angry, sad, in love or upset. Why has management not realized after a year that this is NOT working and make a change, ratings are lousy and continue to get worse. What does it take to make a change?

I don’t get this either…. “management”

whomever …. despite a 6 month schedule… the executive producers MUST know… Guy Wilson isn’t up to par or nowhere near relating with the cast

it’s time for him to go

that being said… at least Guy Wilson isn’t like dullard Daniel and totally ruining every thing else

this trio is palatable… dang! if I was GW and noticed the chemistry with Paul and Sonny … “i’m nowhere” whew!

I am so excited for the entire storyline! Freddie deserves to show what he’s got. He has been a steady supporting character for so long.He is a great character actor with a leading man’s face and body.I can’t wait to see my favourite actor on the show tear his scenes up! Guy is doing a wonderful job showcasing his acting ! Christoper Sean is such a fine actor that you can’t help but feel for Paul. He and Freddie have tremendous chemistry and act well together! I would like to see Will change over what he has done and realize how many times he has taken Sonny for granted.This wonderful man who mentored him supported him as a friend well desperately longing to tell him he loved him and wished he’d be his !!!

beautiful post

there you have it

the conundrum

because of falling in love originally w/Will and Sonny

and now the potent leading men in Paul and Sonny

I’m taking this for all it’s worth… “…I am so excited for the entire storyline!”

yeah Kelly, these guys are all great, Freddie, Guy and Christopher!
I’m loving this storyline, it’s getting real good! And, yes, it’s Freddie’s time to shine. He’s going to get unbelievable material to work with.

oh my you don’t mess with victor and I believe if Clyde isn’t dead he will be, You go Victor you never did let anyone mess with your family. And as for Lucus and Adrienne I never thought to much about them together but I think it’s a greatttttt match Lucus so needs to find a good woman cuz he so deserves love in his life. and come on Sonny and Will really have gone thought a lot together so let’s keep them together and let them have a great marriage and family with their little one.

LOL

“Victor Kiriakis” I love you

what a reward treat and feast to savor his character acting

Victor is one of the most consistent characters on DAYS. Love his sharp delivery. He’s a gem. Glad he’s a main player on the show.

Please don’t let nothing happen to Sonny and Will, send Paul packing and as for Adrienne and Lucas No they don’t look like a good match because she’s always putting Sami down, bring Sonnys dad back please he needs to be there for their son

The promo could be misleading:

Clyde/Clyde’s men may not be behind the attack on Sonny. Crazy Derrick , the bellboy at Salem Inn who’s got it bad for Paul, could be the knifer.

Keep your eye on Christopher Sean as Paul. He seems like he’s been acting for a thousand years…he’s a star!

As long as BD and JE get much deserved screen time, I’m all for the pairing of Lucas and Adrienne!!!

I like Sonny, but don’t care about Guy’s Will. And not interested in Paul either.

Guy Wilson is in his element, he’s a fine actor, and makes very committed acting choices. Guy Wilson, Freddie Smith and Christopher Sean are all doing a fantastic job, this is a big storyline for them, and it’s heading in a very dramatic and intriguing direction. I’m so excited. Great actors, great material.

How about Sonny wakes up and doesn’t remember Will at all. He’s still in love with Paul. Melanie needs to grow up. Eve needs to be outed. Serena is just a disappointment…so much for a good love story with Aiden and Hope

Will and sonny need eachother Paul needs to stay out of the picture and no Lucas and Adrienne don’t need to b together Lucas is too good he does need a romantic woman in his life a good one

@Jeremy…why, thank you, kind sir…LOL.
Seriously, where is this going? Please, writers, spare us from another zombie/wife killer and no body found/”Criminal Minds” storyline. Later.

Ps…HaHa. ,Jeremy. I think I’ll keep my hair. I like my blond locks, LOL.
I am so excited about Kristen’s return. Let’s light some fire under some of these boring storylines; well, except for the Sonny/Paul/Will storyline. I really love, love the idea of Sonny and Paul as a couple. Now, wIth the hotel waiter (what is his name? He is so beautiful), playing some part (good or bad is yet to be seen)…..the storyline could get very interesting.

Hey CeeCee… one of the great things about Eileen Davidson is that no matter what material she is handed at DAYS, she sells it, she is just THAT good. She’s always been so interesting to watch. Eileen is such a great soap opera talent. Long live Kristen DiMera!

What day is this episode coming on? Please reply

The stabbing is on Wed Feb 4 episode.

Today!

Thank you so much.

Poor Sonny, he’s really been having a rough time of it lately and now this….I wonder if he shall recall that he was on his way to confront Will (wasn’t he?) when he was
attacked.
It’s a good thing February for DAYS OF OUR LIVES is a little interesting because to be honest December and January were a bit of a snooze.

DAYS is spectacular!

Let Adrienne and Lucas get a little close to bring Adrienne and Justin back together!! They belong together so I hope this is leading up to an amazing reunion!!!

DAYS OF OUR LIVES Preview: Lexie Emerges and Shocks Abe as the DiMera Family Gathers for The Reading of Stefano’s Will

Published

By

Next week on all-new episodes of Days of Our Lives, finally it looks like Lexie Carver is fully resurrected when the character now played by Nikki Crawford stumbles into a DiMera family gathering, which is supposed to be for the reading of Stefano DiMera’s will.

In the Peacock video teaser, as EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) and company toast the Phoenix, the secret tunnel door swings open, and out stumbles out Lexie! Meanwhile, Dr, Rolf (Richard Wharton) realizes Lexie is gone and no longer in her bed. When Abe (James Reynolds) sees his beloved Lexie, he is absolutely stunned. But the question is, when Lexie speaks, is she the Lexie of old, or will her memory and brain be all scrambled eggs?

As longtime DAYS viewers know, the part of Lexie was portrayed for years by Renee Jones, who retired from acting after her run which lasted from 1993-2012. At the time of her departure, Lexie was killed-off with an inoperable brain tumor.

Elsewhere, Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) is up to no good and now makes a play for Xander (Paul Telfer). but then tells him, “What I want now, is for you to kill him!” Who does she want killed? EJ? Johnny (Carson Boatman)? Or someone else?

DAYS Lauren Koslow Temporarily Fills-In for Jess Walton as ‘The Young and the Restless’ Jill Abbott

Published

on

By

In a ironic twist, Lauren Koslow, who currently plays Kate Roberts on Days of Our Lives is returning to The Young and the Restless to play Jill Abbott while temporarily filling in for Jess Walton. Koslow will appear for five episodes beginning on Thursday, June 25.

Koslow first appeared on The Young and the Restless back in 1984 in what was her first soap opera role when she was cast as Lindsey Wells. Now, she returns decades later subbing for Walton, who due to a scheduling conflict, was was unable to travel to Los Angeles when the storyline called for Jill. The Emmy-winning Walton has played the Jill since 1987 and went on recurring status with the show in 2012. Jess also left Los Angeles to reside in Oregon in 2011.

Making this all the richer was the original Jill played by Brenda Dickson, often shared scenes with Koslow’s Y&R character. Lauren played Lindsey Wells until 1986, before moving over to The Bold and the Beautiful as Margo Lynley. Koslow was B&B’s Margo from 1987–1992, and again in 2002. Then, in 1996, she was cast on Days of Our Lives as Kate Roberts, replacing Deborah Adair, and she has been in Salem ever since. But there’s still another another twist to this casting history. Y&R viewers recall Deborah Adair also played Jill, after Brenda Dickson left in 1980, and following a brief stint by Bond Gideon, before heading to DAYS to originate the role of Kate.

THE DAYS AND Y&R CONNECTION

As soap fans know, Days of Our Lives and The Young and the Restless are both part of Sony. Y&R is produced by Bell Dramatic Serial Company in association with Sony Pictures Television, while DAYS is owned by Corday Productions and distributed by Sony.

So, having Koslow visit The Young and the Restless to fill in for Jess Walton has nothing to do with her continued role of Kate on DAYS. In fact, a rep for the show shared that her upcoming appearance on Y&R, “does not affect her status with the show in any way.” Recently, Stacy Haiduk reprised her role of Patty Williams on Y&R, even though she is still being seen as Kristen DiMera on DAYS.

In a joint statement offered up to TV Insider, executive producer, Sally McDonald and head writer, Josh Griffith expressed, “We’re extremely grateful to Lauren Koslow for returning to her Y&R roots and temporarily stepping into the role of Jill. We want to extend our sincere thanks to Ken Corday (executive producer) and Noel Maxam (co-executive producer) at Days of Our Lives and Peacock. Their support embodies the collaborative spirit of the daytime television community.”

McDonald and Griffith clarified that Jess Walton is forever their Jill and shared, “Jess Walton is an enduring cornerstone of Y&R. We look forward to welcoming her back to Genoa City as her schedule permits and celebrating her extraordinary 40th anniversary as the iconic Jill Abbott.”

So, what do you think of Days of Our Lives Lauren Koslow stepping in for Jess Walton as Jill Abbott? Excited to see what she does in the role while filling in for the Jess? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

‘Days of Our Lives’ Alum Al Calderon Shares Parting Thoughts on ‘Brilliant Minds’ Following its Cancellation

Published

on

By

Last week, NBC pulled the plug on the medical drama, Brilliant Minds, as the last 6 episodes of its second and final season will begin to air later this month. The series which saw its ratings plummet was taken off the schedule in February, with reports of it being on the bubble until finally the decision was handed down.

Al Calderon, who departed Days of our Lives in the role of Javi Hernandez in 2025 to join the primetime series as Nurse Nico Silva, was a part of the stellar cast that also featured One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) and series star, Zachary Quinto.

On Brilliant Minds, Quinto plays neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.

In a real-life twist, Days of our Lives announced Calderon’s successor, Jacob Martinez as the new Javi debuting this June on April 30. Come May 1, NBC canceled Brilliant Minds. Now, on Wednesday, May 6, Al Calderon took a moment to reflect on his experience at Bronx General Hospital, the backdrop of Brilliant Minds, via a post on his Instagram.

“Thank you Brilliant Minds” Calderon began. “What a life changing experience. Met forever friends. Learned from the absolute best. Was reminded that my voice mattered. Learned that it’s okay to believe in yourself. Felt like I was part of something. While our beautiful show has gone onto glory we’ve got 6 more incredible episodes to share with you starting May 27th.”

Al also added, “NBC and Warner Brothers TV, thank you for allowing me to be silly and quippy, Demane Davis, Michael Grassi, David Rapaport, Zachary Quinto, thank you for all of your encouragement and support.”

As his heartfelt post came to a close, Calderon explained why the experience on Brilliant Minds was life-changing: “I’ve been at this a long time and this show gave me hope for the future of my career. I owe it to these incredible individuals. Our crew. Our writers. Our editors. The whole shebang. I love you all endlessly.”

Taking to the comment threads were several of Al’s Brilliant Minds and DAYS former co-stars, and even his successor, Jacob Martinez jumped in and shared, “YOU are brilliant 💕”

What did you think of Al’s heartfelt message about his time on Brilliant Minds? Will you miss seeing him on DAYS and on the primetime series? Looking forward to seeing what he will do next? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
