Christie Clark is not a surprise… I heard she was coming back months before the changes started at Days and after Sami called Carrie on the phone not too long after that & they actually shot the less than @min scene I knew it wouldn’t be long till she returned to Salem. my only question is why Patrick Muldoon, not that I particularly dislike him but the Austin that was popular opposite of Christie Clark’s Carrie and spent the most time as the character was Austin Preck. I know he’s at OLTL right now but even with the internet pick-up… Read more »

I thought I was the only one disappointed to see that Patrick Muldoon is coming back as Austin instead of Austin Peck

So excited that Christie, Patrick, Deidre, Drake and Bryan are coming back. Now we’ll finally have OUR Days of Our Lives show back as long as Bo and Hope are front and center. Thank you Ken Corday for finally getting the message.

I agree 100%. I love Christie Clarke and Patrick Muldoon. This is the best news I have heard. I am so happy the vets are coming back. Ken Corday wasnt joking when he said that there are major changes coming. I cant wait to see Sami’s face when Carrie and Austin come back LOL. I cant wait for September 🙂 🙂

I am thrilled that my favourite couple from the 90s is heading back to Salem, and I am over the moon that it is Patrick Muldoon this time. I grew to enjoy Austin Peck as Austin but Patrick was always my favourite Austin, and his chemistry with Christie was fantastic. I can’t wait to see them back together all these years later!!

Guest

Sara

Christie Clark is my favorite! Seeing her on the phone call with Sami was such a tease. So glad she’ll be back full time. Loving the changes so far at Days!

Guest

Wow DOOL gets rid of Crystal Chappell for these two? Not worth it.
Roman and Marlena are not worth it! DOOL will never be the same! We are loosing amazing talent to be subjected to this?

Guest

Patrick

I agree… granted they are part of days history…. none of the returning “favs” have the emotional range and intelligence, and or versatile acting abilities of crystal chappell and louise sorrell….. these two ladies provided comedic and dramatic turns that always kept my interest… i’ve lost interest in days again…

Guest

Msmith

lets be honest nobody has the emotional range and intelligence, and or versatile acting abilities of crystal chappell !!

Patrick Muldoon has said on his twitter page nope! To days of our lives. And his flying overseas to a wedding . Soap opera digest confimed Next Week as A C start taping day . So why would Muldoon be flying over seas if his going to be knee high in days scripts? Next week. The weekend is almost over
He also Tweeted lisa rinna “nope to days?”

Trust me Austin is a wonderful actor. There are so many carrie and austin fans. Patrick was great on days. But so was Austin. when the writers did invest in Carrie and Austin’s storyline. Austin acting improved. But how is it the actor’s fault if all the writers ever did was write Austin as shirtless, and have Sami run interference. When carrie and austin were on the ratings were good. As well as Austin and Nicole had great chemistry. bring austin peck back. I think given all that he as been thru. I think his acting will be A class.… Read more »

Austin peck. Was ok as austin, he let his stripping and being shirtless do the acting, unlike muldoon. Patrick muldoon was the best austin and he had chemistry with carrie and sami, he is decent actor, and he is not goofy.

Guest

lumi

the ratings were good when Sami and Lucas was up to there games,love sami and lucas’s attitude,they were good together and fun to watch,and hope they will get back to being a Horton Family with there 4 kids.

Guest

AGREEEEEEED 🙂

I love Austin + Carrie TOGETHER as a couple. Please no more love triangles or quadrilateral situations. Let them be happy TOGETHER & focused on their family(kids). As far as I am concerned:
Austin + Carrie = PERFECT
Austin + Sami = Pathetic
Austin + Nicole/Greta = Shocking
Carrie + Mike = Horrendous
Carrie + Lucas = Disgusting

Guest

Patrick muldoon was and is still the best austin reed and he chemistry with both sami and carrie. Sami and austin pairing was not pathetic with muldoon, but peck it was force and werid.

Guest

Austin peck needs to return. Patrick, in my opinion- is to old to play Austin Reed. Patrick has no chemistry w// cc or any one. And he looks older then his T.v mom Kate. His voice driving me nuts plus his line delivery is to slow. Also to think that Abby would find this version of Austin Reed “hot” is ricdiclous. Austin was wonderful on As the World Turns, and One life to Live. I hope that tptb bring Peck back. I was so looking foward to C/a. Patrick hasn’t played Austin Reed for 16 years. And if they were… Read more »

Pat muldoon was born 1968 and Austin peck in 1971, now both men have aged and the only reason come on the show was that pat chose to leave.

I havent watched many soaps since probably when “Another World” was cancelled. But watched many growing up in high school, and especially college. I agree that the interaction between Austin Peck and Carrie is the one most would want to see. I remember Muldoon in the begginng as well,..but Peck is much better when pairing up the couple.

Guest

Jake

I don’t care about their real ages. Pat Muldoon looks sooo much older and he sounds very …fruity. Austin Peck was much better.

Guest

Whatever dude, austin peck was ok as austin, but pm was the kick ass austin.

DAYS Alison Sweeney Previews the New EJami

June 6, 2021

Coming up on Days of our Lives, Dan Feurerriegel take over the role of EJ DiMera on-screen, and the character is making quite the timely, or untimely return to Salem now that Sami (Alison Sweeney) has been hitting the sheets with her ex-husband, Lucas (Bryan Dattilo).

Feurerriegel is stepping into the coveted role of EJ made soap-famous by James Scott, who left the series back in 2014 and never returned.

Now the question is can Sweeney and Feurerriegel strike soap gold with their re-imagined duo known as “EJami”?

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Alison Sweeney opened up about the casting, working with Dan, and the future of EJami sharing: “To be honest, I was nervous when I heard they were recasting EJ. That’s a big role to fill, I mean, James Scott was definitely a fan favorite and EJ is such a memorable role in the story and certainly in Sami’s life.”

Sweeney said of sharing scenes with Feurerriegel, “Dan has been fantastic. I’ve really enjoyed working with him. He clearly understood the importance of the task ahead.”

As for what fans of EJami may be in for, Sweeney noted: ” I hope those ‘EJami’ fans see the couple they were so connected to, but of course, in a new, different way.”

So will you be giving the new EJami a chance? Looking forward to Dan’s debut, or are you Team Lumi all the way? Share your thoughts via the comment section below. But first check out this week’s promo for DAYS.

DAYS Billy Flynn Opens Up To Maurice Benard About His Battle with Addiction on All-New ‘State of Mind’

May 30, 2021

In a terrific episode of Maurice Benard’s (Sonny Corinthos, General Hospital) State of Mind You Tube series, the actor welcomes another one of the best actors on daytime, Days of our Lives star Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera, Days of our Lives).

What made this so compelling was Billy Flynn’s ability to talk openly, frankly, and with great understanding about his battles with addiction which he notes have been alcohol, drugs, and the cycles he has found himself in within his life and how he was able to break free of them, and the work he continues to do to keep him from falling back into them.

Flynn shares how much of his adult life was greatly impacted by his childhood, and explained to Benard, how he acted out when he was younger. He also shares how his addiction caused issues for awhile with his job at Days of our Lives.

This episode is a powerful one to watch for anyone struggling with issues of addiction, dependency, suicide, having problems at work, and trying to not self-destruct, which so many of us do, once we seemingly get what we what or while we are trying to obtain it.

Bravo to Billy and Maurice for bringing this forward and to the audience.

Watch Billy’a visit on State of Mind below, followed by a bonus segment where Flynn asks Benard some ‘hard-hitting’ questions.
