Paul Telfer Dishes Xander’s Twisted Plot With Kristen DiMera; Go Behind The Scenes With Lamon Archey & Sal Stowers On ‘Inside Salem: Days of our Lives Podcast’

As viewers of Days of our Lives have witnessed in a recent episode bombshell, Xander was revealed to be in cahoots with a very much alive Kristen DiMera, who is posing as a very much alive, Nicole Walker! It all went down when fans saw that Kristen is wearing a prosthetic Nicole mask!
On the latest Inside Salem: Days of our Lives Podcast out this week on iTunes and on NBC.com/Inside Salem, host Michael Fairman chats with Paul Telfer to get his take on the latest machinations of Xander, and working with his female co-stars: Arianne Zucker (Nicole), Stacy Haiduk (Kristen), Linsey Godfrey (Sarah), and Kassie DePaiva (Eve).
In addition to the Kristen/Nicole twist, Xander is holding the cards with Dr. Rolf’s diary that contains the formula that could cure Jack’s amnesia and potentially save Will, plus Paul weighs-in on the horrific plot twist where Kristen and Xander are making everyone believe that little Holly is dead!
Later, Sal Stowers (Lani) welcomes Lamon Archey (Eli) into her dressing room, where they discuss working together, and with the twins who play baby David. plus they share some tidbits about creating their on-screen chemistry as #Elani.
Let us know if you think Xander’s plots will all fall apart on him as it has in the past, or will he get away with some major ones know that he is working with Kristen via the comment section below.
He will tell on good old Kristen. He will turn out to be good in the end. Deep down all he wants is Family.
Paul Telfer has created a great rootable, meathead villian — his portrayal projects far beyond the script. DOOL needs to develop Xander as a lead character.
I’m so glad that people are getting in on
^^^ “… his portrayal projects far beyond the script”
THIS is his 4th or 5th time “around” he’s always counted … he’s an animal “lose” right now
oh yeah, salivate !
there’s a “magnate” BIG ON
Paul Tolfer has always held on
He’s existed for a reason !!! I like him
S E X is celebrated WITH
let loose! somenew
YOU have a FUN’ny post @denise. YET essence should play out
he projects yield to temptations naked PLUS
character anew !
Per @Emily ^^^ post
Xander was originally brought on as the “troubled” nephew of Victor brother that did not get along. Xander appeal lie in wanting to be a part of the kiriakis Empire AND ‘belonging’
scripts changed
yet his presentation never wavered AND he’s continually numbered in.
I want to see his scenes w/Maggie.. the “non-judgmental” ep
I want to see his likeness be with Kristen even tango
I am still bowled over that he’s with Sarah
I want to see his family take
there are underlying currents going on big time … you never get this @
this is so damn big enticing
fraught
catch ‘your’ own
“Go on”
Love Xander and Paul. Glad to see Kristen back.
I do not like Lani anyway. Eli could do so much better than this insipid woman. Iam surprised they haven’t had her kidnap a newborn by now. I hope Rafe tells her what to do, when she jumps his bones. How pathetic they have made this character.
I saw something surprising on today’s show with Zander. I always hated him, but Paul Telfer showed us a different side of this man. Someone that has real feelings, and with some love and understanding, he could become a good man. I wish TPTB would consider this possibility, but every show needs a villain, and I guess Paul is it.

Jen Lilley Signs Off at Days of our Lives: “Playing Jeanne Theresa Donovan Off and On for the last 10 Years Has Taught Me So Much About Empathy and Grace”

This week on Days of our Lives, Jen Lilley will wrap her short-term run as Theresa Donovan. Lilley came back to reprise her role to a be a part of the on-screen memorial for Victor Kiriakis, and to honor one of her her all-time favorite scene partners, the late John Aniston.
While Lilley explained in interviews with the press, that she gave the series a 3 to 4 week window of time she would be available to reprise the role, she noted the long-running soap opera wrote more episodes and story for the character; thus the part will be turned over to another actress for the next leg of Theresa’s return story.
Meanwhile, through the years, Lilley came under fire over her run on DAYS being a devout Christian, and taking on the role of the troublemaking Theresa. She fired back in one interview, “Why should I play a role like this,’ you know? That’s been something I’ve been asked over and over again, by Christians, like,‘How can you be a Christian and play this role?’ And the truth of the matter is that from a human perspective, Theresa’s kind of a horrible person, but from a God perspective, she’s exactly who Christ came and died for.”

With her final episode streaming on Peacock on Friday, September 22nd, Lilley took to her Instagram to share her sentiments on her Salem journey over the years.
Jen shared: “Last week of me exploring this girl’s shenanigans on screen. Playing Jeanne Theresa Donovan off and on for the last 10 years has taught me so much about empathy and grace. I have enjoyed every moment of her hilarious sass and ferocity, layered with brokenness. To the cast and crew at @dayspeacock, I love you forever. You’re my family. And to the best fans a girl could ask or hope for: remember there is no pit so deep you could ever find yourself in where God’s love cannot find you still. You are never beyond redemption. You are called by grace and marked with love. Thank you for supporting me on this decade long journey. #Days #RIPJohnAniston #ripvictorkiriakis #DOOL”
No word yet if in the future, and with Lilley’s busy filming schedule (once the SAG-AFTRA and writers strikes are resolved) for Great American Family movies and other projects, if she would be available to return to DAYS should the show decide to write for the character.
So, are you sad to see Jen exit the canvas as Theresa? Curious just who and how will take over her role? There have been plenty of online rumors that a certain actress currently on the show is taking over the part. Comment below.

Days of our Lives Celebrates One-Year on Peacock (Photos)

When Days of our Lives moved from NBC to the streaming service Peacock after 57 years on the air, it rocked many longtime fans of the beloved soap opera. However, NBC/Universal decided to make it a high priority on its companion streamer as one of its flagship shows. This was due, in part, to its dedicated fan base and viewership.
DAYS started its run in its new home on September 12th, 2022, and now one-year later, Peacock helped the show celebrate its first anniversary in its current streaming digs with an ice cream truck outside its studios in Burbank on Monday.
Taking a break from Salem, and to partake in some ice cream were DAYS stars: Billy Flynn (Chad), Ella Cantu, (Jada) Abigail Klein (Stephanie), Bill and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Doug and Julie), Carson Boatman (Johnny), Raven Bowens (Chanel), Mary Beth Evans (Kayla), Stephen Nichols (Steve), and Greg Vaughan (Eric).
Check out some of the snaps from the ice cream truck fun below!

Mary Beth Evans, who shared on social media she used to serve up ice cream at one time in her life, took a pic inside the ice cream truck with Stephen Nichols. Seems “Stayla” likes ice cream too!

So, what do you think about Peacock sending the ice cream truck to DAYS to mark the occasion of its move to the streaming service? Are you glad DAYS is still moving forward on the streamer, even though a year later it’s not on or coming back to network TV? Comment below.
