Nadia Bjorlin named 2011’s Sexiest Woman Alive by TV Guide Canada? Well duh, as if there is any other choice. The Days of our Lives, and Venice star, is drop dead gorgeous, and truly a stunner. In a brand new interview with the woman who embodies the flawed characters of Lara in Venice and Chloe on DAYS, discussed her recent acting successes in both series, plus her man, B&B’s Brandon Beemer (Owen) who formerly was Shawn in Salem, and gives some insight if there is a Broe reunion in the works. Here are a few excerpts!
Bjorlin on how finding out she was playing Lara in a millisecond on Venice adapted and made scenes sizzle with co-star Jessica Leccia (Ani): ” I discovered Lara while I was acting as the week was unfolding. [Luckily, I gelled with the cast easily]; I felt the chemistry was effortless, at least on my part. I also felt like I instantly connected with Jessica [Leccia]. After two days, I really did feel like I was dating her [laughs]! It was really exciting because I really wanted to challenge myself [as an actress] and really prove that I could do something so different from Chloe. And Chloe’s great; she’s always changing. But Chloe is always going to be Chloe, and I really wanted to prove that I could do something different. It was Crystal’s idea to take Lara to this dark place because she really wanted to push and challenge me and I’m so grateful for that. It was thrilling to have that opportunity. The whole crew and cast … Venice turned into this great love fest. Our camaraderie off-set, I think, really helped create these characters and [kick off the] relationships right off the bat. For example, Crystal and Galen [Gering] really made believable brother and sister thanks to their off-set relationship.”
Bjorlin on the infamous DAYS half-naked between the sheets photo shoot with her, Beemer, Jay Johnson and Martha Madison which soon after saw Beemer and Madison let-go by the series: “I was completely shocked! At that point, I felt like a pseudo-veteran of the show, like I knew what could happen around there, but I was wrong! People were nervous because Julie Pinson and Judi Evans had just been let go, but I remember saying to Brandon at the time, “Honey, you have nothing to worry about — you’re the son of Bo and Hope; you’re the last person to be fired.” And, as if on cue, like a week later, he came to me and told me he had been fired. I totally thought he was kidding! On some level, I felt like I was an island floating around, so I figured I was more expendable than Martha and Brandon, especially since they had been such front-burner characters for so long. I couldn’t imagine it, but change needs to happen.
Bjorlin on if there is hope for a re-teaming of Chloe and Brady on DAYS, since the Broe fan base have been vocal: “The Broe fans are amazing. They’re so sweet. Their passion is undying. Personally, I feel terrible because at this point, I can’t offer them anything [story-wise]. Persistence is definitely the key to getting anything you want in life so perhaps they have it figured out. Damn it, maybe it will happen thanks to the laws of attraction. Broe is so special to me personally, and to Chloe … and yeah, I definitely think … there was never any closure and there were so many gaps in the story, which is why the fans — and us actors — never got any closure because it didn’t end properly. I think the possibility is definitely there. You never know what’s going to happen on a soap. Eric (Martsolf) and I always joke when we have a scene together, “Well, that was fun — I’ll see you in four months,” because we have these beautiful little moments together, which are very random most of the time, but they’re really small and subtle. You do wonder if there is something behind those brief scenes — or are we just creating it all in our minds?
The June 22 episode of Days of Our Lives reminded us all of why Deidre Hall is iconic in the role of Dr. Marlena Evans. Here we are 50 years later, and Marlena is still the heroine of the long-running soap opera, and Deidre remains one of the most most recognizable names in the history of soaps.
To pay tribute, and to look back at the life and times of Marlena, the story starts with Marlena flipping through a photo album of her with John (the late Drake Hogestyn) over the years. As she misses him dearly, she gets a knock on the door and its none other than John’s son, Paul Narita (Christopher Sean).
With Andrew (Colton Little) in Salem working on a case, he sits down with Marlena, who says she can’t believe its been fifty years since she first arrived in Salem! Cue: Deidre’s first scenes on DAYS when she finds Mickey Horton (the late John Clarke) playing chess against himself inside the mental institution she worked.

THE FLASHBACKS OF MARLENA’S LIFE
From there, viewers definitely got the cliff notes version of the history of Marlena and entrenched within them, some of the biggest moments in Deidre’s enduring run.
Paul thinks he is looking at 70s, and early 80s Marlena while going through her scrapbook, but he is actually looking at her twin, Samantha (Andrea Hall). Cue: when Marlena confronted Samantha about impersonating her, and then later getting a call on her radio show from the Salem Strangler (Jack Coleman as Jake Kostichek) who killed Samantha thinking it was Marlena.
In the present, Belle (Martha Madison) has arrived at this time to meet up with Paul, unaware of this trip down memory lane. She wants to go over the findings in the chess board mystery Stefano willed to Marlena and John, in private with him, since Marlena previously said she wanted nothing to do with it.
Back to the history lesson, Marlena speaks highly of Don Craig and even though their marriage didn’t work out, she could find a path forward with the new love her life, Roman Brady. (Wayne Northrop however is never shown, possibly to keep the story focused on John as Roman for confusion sakes?)
Paul sees a photo of a young Carrie (Christie Clark) in the album and Marlena says she was such a godsend after losing her baby. In fact, Marlena says caring for Carrie prepared her for her having and raising her own twins, Eric and Sami. Cue: The twin visiting Marlena in the hospital.
JOHN AND MARLENA’S LOVE CONQUERED ALL
Then, in a way to get through and incorporate the wild storylines only Marlena could have been in, she tells Belle and Paul, she has been through so much in her life, how lucky she was to find John, and some of the most unbelievable experiences no one could imagine. Cue: Marlena possessed by the devil and levitating from the bed. Next, John confronting Marlena being the Salem Stalker, where she admits she killed Alice Horton, pretends she needs help, then pulls a gun on her beloved John!
The comment is made by Paul and Marlena, that she literally has been to hell and back and she could not have survived were it not for her beloved John. Cue the big emotional highpoint clips; The Pier Scene! Marlena steps out of the fog when John sees her from a distance. After believing she was dead for four years, here she was before him in one of the greatest reunions in a soap opera love story in history. What followed were other times of the life of times of Jarlena.

MARLENA’S ‘GIFT’ FROM STEFANO HAS A NEW CLUE
When Marlena makes a brief exit to the other room, Belle fills in Paul on the chess set Stefano left her mother and the photo of the Lire. Paul said he will investigate. Marlena comes back into the room and overhears, and says to promise her if things get dangerous he will back off, she does not want anyone hurt by Stefano’s games.
As the episode comes to a conclusion, it’s just Belle and Marlena going through the photo album giggling about 70s hairstyles and all the memories. Belle speaks on the impact Marlena has had in everyone’s lives, and that she is both the heart of their family and the heart of Salem.
An end card comes up acknowledging Deidre Hall’s 50th anniversary as Marlena, and we fade to black.
So, what did you think of Marlena’s walk down memory lane? Were you happy to see the flashback clips utilized throughout? Were you touched by the scenes and the performance of Deidre Hall? Let us know what you thought of Deidre’s 50th anniversary episode via the comment section below.
If you have ever tuned-in to the soap opera genre over the last 50 years, and witnessed some of the greatest romances, drama, classic and outlandish storylines of all-time, you would have seen Deidre Hall smack dab in the middle of it as longtime Salem heroine, Dr. Marlena Evans.
It was 50 years on this date, June 21, 1976 that Hall first appeared on DAYS on NBC which was its home for 57 years before it moved to its current streaming platform on Peacock in September of 2022.
In Hall’s first episode she was introduced as a psychiatrist treating Mickey Horton (John Clarke) at Bayview Sanitarium after he suffered a complete mental breakdown. Mickey learned that his brother Bill Horton (Edward Mallory) was the biological son of Mike Horton (Wesley Eure) with his wife Laura (Susan Flannery) and that he had been lied to for years and years. From that moment on, the rest is television and soap opera history. Days of Our Lives put Hall front and center.

There were so many heartbreaking and shocking story twists involving the beloved Marlena. One of the first was the historic crib death of baby DJ (Don Jr.) in 1980, Marlena’s infant son with Don Craig (Jed Allan). The story had never been told on daytime television and Hall’s performances received accolades from TV critics to fans when Deidre received thousands of letters from grieving mothers who had gone through the same thing in their own lives.
DAYS also brought Deidre’s twin sister, Andrea Hall Lovell to the show as her on-screen sister Samantha, who had a grudge and even locked Marlena up in a sanitarium and took her place! Fast-forward and in 1982, DAYS launched the Salem Strangler story where everyone believed Marlena was his next victim, only it turned out to be Samatha. Jake Kositchek (played by Jack Coleman) was revealed to be the actual serial killer.
Later, Deidre would assume the role of Marlena’s look-alike, Hattie Adams in 2004, once played by her sister, Andrea. Over the years, Hattie has come back to Salem and caused trouble giving Hall a chance to play a different type of character, then the always upstanding Marlena.

THE LOVES OF MARLENA
Deidre Hall struck gold with all her leading men: from the late Jed Allan, to Wayne Northrop as Roman Brady, and of course, her enduring love story with the late John Black played by the iconic Drake Hogestyn. In fact, Marlena’s 1986 wedding to John (who was believed to be Roman at the time) remains a favorite of fans to this day.
TOP MARLENA STORYLINES OF ALL-TIME
While the list is long, here are several that were some of the memorable during Deidre’s five decades in Salem!
The Possession (1994- 1995)
Considered one of the most ambiguous, outlandish and unforgettable story arcs in soap opera history, then Days of Our Lives head writer, James Reilly went there! Marlena was possessed by the devil! That included; the demonic eyes, hissing at father John (Black) the priest, morphing into creatures, and the classic levitating in her bed! It became a cultural phenomenon and cemented Deidre Hall’s status as a daytime television legend. Just ask Ryan Gosling!

The Affair with John Black (1993)
John and Marlena’s forbidden love could not be denied and they had passionate affair, while she was still married to the real Roman. Problem was her daughter, Sami (Alison Sweeney) caught her mother having sex with John on a desk that changed Sami forever.
The Salem Stalker Mystery (2003-2004)
In a shocker, Marlena was revealed to be a serial killer who bumped off several Salem favorites residents who were all alive on the island of Melaswen (spelled “New Salem” backward). Turns out, she was manipulated and gaslighted by Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) to do the “killings” and had no memory of her actions.
The Pier Scene (1991)
This remains Michael Fairman TV’s all-time favorite Deidre Hall moment, which featured some of the best acting in the storied careers of both Hall and Drake Hogestyn.
In the story, a presumed-dead Marlena returns after four years. One foggy night on the pier, John is alone, and Marlena steps out of the fog to reveal herself, and is reunited with the love of her life. You can watch it any year, any decade, and in any moment, and it will have you reaching for the hankies again and again. (best music score fo a soap scene of all-time too!)

Kristen’s Secret Room Reveal (1997)
Marlena was caught in Kristen Blake’s (Eileen Davidson) elaborate web of lies, when she was held hostage in a secret wine cellar/room until John managed to track her down, leading to an iconic on-screen reunion. The classic catfight between Hall and Eileen Davidson was one for the ages.
It should be noted that Maison Blanche, Queen of the Night, Possession, Aremid and Lady in a Cage were all a part of classic DAYS storyline and all featured Hall at the epicenter of it from 1993-1996.
THE RECENT YEARS OF MARLENA
In recent years, DAYS brought back the possession 2.0 storyline under then head writer Ron Carlivati in 2021 where the devil leapt back in Marlena after taking advantage of a frail Doug Williams (the late Bill Hayes)
In 2025, viewers watched the end of the love story of John and Marlena, as John succumbed to injuries sustained in an explosion saving a vial of medication needed to bring Bo (Peter Reckell) back to life. Marlena has been a widow on-screen since June of 2025 as Hall as portrayed the good doctor struggling with her grief and to move on with her life since his death.

One story that never goes away is Stefano DiMera’s (the late Joe Mascolo) obsession with Marlena, his “Queen of the Night.” Even in death, Stefano is toying with her from the great beyond with the mysterious chess set and the missing “pawn,” that he had gifted John and Marlena in his will. The mystery is currently unfolding on all-new episodes of Days of Our Lives.
Tune-in to Days of our Lives on the Monday, June 22 episode as Marlena looks back at her 50 years in Salem.
Share your congratulations to Deidre Hall for this incredible 50-year milestone as Dr. Marlena Evans on Days of Our Lives in the comment section. Then let us know, what is your all-time favorite storyline or moment in the life of Marlena over the past 5 decades? And, just for kicks, and to celebrate this amazing milestone, here is Marlena levitating below circa Christmas Eve 1994.

Al Calderon Reflects on ‘Major Chapters’ Coming to an End on ‘Days of Our Lives’ and ‘Brilliant Minds’
It’s been a bittersweet time for Al Calderon. The talented actor/singer/songwriter has watched from his vantage point to roles he loved so much come to their conclusion for different reasons.
In a heartfelt message posted to his Instagram story on Saturday, Calderon took a moment to share how grateful he was for the opportunity to play Javi Hernandez on Days of Our Lives, and nurse Nico Silva this year on NBC’s second season of Brilliant Minds. Currently, Brilliant Minds has two more episodes that will air on June 24 and the series finale on July 1.
Calderon expressed, “As I sit here reflecting on this lovely Saturday afternoon over the last two years of my life, I have two major chapters closing that have been part of my life every day for the last two years. We have Brilliant Minds. Our last episodes are wrapping up, and then my last scenes aired yesterday as me as Javi on Days of Our Lives.

“I’m just unbelievably grateful for the chance and the opportunity to be a part of something so much larger than me,” continued Al. “I (will) love Days of Our Lives forever, my family. Thank you for supporting me and supporting my decision to take the leap of faith and believe in myself and, and tell other stories. You know, it’s never goodbye. It’s always ‘see you later’ to me and just leaving with love and leading with love.”
Al concluded with a special mention to some very important people, the fans: “Thank you to the fans and the support from everyone, the lovely messages. So this next chapter, hopefully it’s not a dragon, hopefully it’s a gold coin.”

Calderon’s journey on-screen on Days of Our Lives began in October of 2024 and concluded this month. In one of his last appearances Javi was asking a favor from Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) before bumping into his ex, Leo (Greg Rikaart). In story, Javi has a new romance with Gus (Michael Ocampo), while fighting his feelings for Leo. The role of Javi will be played starting on June 30 by Jacob Martinez who takes over the role.
NBC decided to cancel the Brilliant Minds, after it split up the airing of its second season which began in the fall of September of 2025 and the back-half started airing after a long break this past May. Calderon joined the medical drama staring Zachary Quinto for the new season, which sadly was its last.
So, will you miss Al on Days of Our Lives and Brilliant Minds as his time on-screen has come to an end? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Thanks for the great Nadia interview, Michael. I just love her to pieces and this interview showed that she is beautiful both inside and out. I think her spirit really shines through this article. She’s a sweetheart!
Love NB.She’s o talented,smart,gorgeous,hot and a real sweetheart
I always knew Nadia Bjorlin had more in her than just her Chloe/Days alter-ego. She’s a complex and interesting woman with so much to offer her fans if she’s given a chance. I felt that the writers were making Chloe too one dimensional and forgot about Chloe’s rich past. Thank goodness Crystal Chappell saw Nadia’s potential and wrote something that would stretch and challenge Nadia’s acting muscles. I always thought Nadia was under-rated as an actress due to the poor writing at Days. I’m glad to see that other fans are finally seeing it, too, thanks to Venice and Nadia’s various prime time gigs. Let’s hope she keeps finding other projects to show us what she’s got! I also hope the new creators of the Wonder Woman reboot television serious are taking a serious look at casting her in the lead role. With the right part, Nadia could be catapulted into super stardom. I, for one, can’t wait to see that happen for her! 🙂
Sorry about the spelling errors…that’s what I get for doing this in a hurry.
Of course she’s named sexiest and her “acting” is praised, bec it’s a tvgc blog. Thanks to On air on soaps for not putting that whole article, w/c I’m guessing is something to avoid. She should not be considered for Wonder Woman at all. Bjorlin is physically wrong for that part. Wonder Woman is very light skinned and should be 6’2. Bjorlin does the fake and bake, is not tall and more importantly, is a terrible actress. Bjorlin has been horrible on Days since portraying ghoul gurl. People hate how stupid her char is bec of the bad writing and her horrendous acting. The only thing interesting abt Chloe was Patrika Darbo’s Nancy. But even she couldn’t make Bjorlin’s Chloe tolerable. Bjorlin and Darbo demonstrate that Daytime soaps are abt looks over talent. Bjorlin is so monotonous and pathetic as Chloe, while Lowder is such a hammy actor. If he rejoins Days and they’re reunited, it’ll be bad acting at its worst since he is one of Daytime’s worst actors ever and she is one of Daytime’s worst actresses ever. They really need to ask pointers from Arianne Zucker, who is fantastic as Nicole on Days.
Really?She’s 1.73 m.Yeah..that’s short for sure.And she’s skinned
Nadia has been praised for her performances on Days (leuchimia sl and the paternity reveal’s sl)and Venice,so stop making up crap.Chloe was a very loved and famous character thanks to NB’s portrayl,beauty,talent,charisma and sweetness.And Chloe has been thrown under the bus to prop Saint Daniel,saint Carly and Saint Melanie.Still NB is doing an amazing job with the crap she’s been given and she would rock wonderwoman just like she rocks Venice and is rocking Days with her latest sl.Get over it
Bjorlin’s a terrible “actress”. That’s not “making up crap” Imane. That’s called having an opinion. Many people on message boards routinely call Chloe an idiot and think Bjorlin’s acting is pathetic. The romance w/ Daniel is atrocious. Bjorlin was horrendous when she was part of Days’ younger set as ghoul gurl. Back then Days was known for some of the worst acting on Daytime so Bjorlin is the worst of the worst. Bjorlin’s line delivery is still flat whereas Arianne Zucker has improved tremendously. Nicole brings so much to Days. Arianne is fantastic, dramatic, comedic, bitchy and overshadows veteran Sweeney. The Daytime Emmys often get it wrong but they were right to nominate Zucker. Bjorlin is terrible. She should not be a candidate for Wonder Woman. That part is too iconic for Bjorlin, who does not have the acting chops. Acting is obviously ageist, especially towards women. If a Wonder Woman reboot does get made, the people running that project would want a young actress so the part has longevity. If the character and backstory of Wonder Woman is to be respected, then actresses 30s and up should not even be considered. Wonder Woman should convey strength but she must also be very young and virginal since she grows up on an island full of Amazon women only. Actresses 30s and up would not be right for that part. Age wise Bjorlin is wrong for that part. Physically Bjorlin is wrong for the part also. Wonder Woman should be white skinned, 6’1 and above. Bjorlin’s too dark and too short. Ok, not tall enough.

Oh I see your’s an AZS’s fans and you can’t tolerate the fact that NB’s acting is finaly being praised like it should have been long time ago.She’s been underrated for so long and now that finally more people are seeing how talented she is and praising her talent,it’s unbarable for you..Get a life….opinion is no fact.You may not like Chloe or NB’S’s acting but wether you like it or not it has been praised many times:With the leuchimia sl,with this sl and on Venice.You tink she’s the worst of the worst.That’s your opinion.It doesn’t make it fact.I’ll leave it at that.
I am also of the opinion that NB is a stunted, stiff, terrible actress. While after much support and cajoling, she was able to pull off a semi-decent performance on Venice,but in my opinion it was not all that. If Nelson Branco didn’t have his head up Nadia’s ass, perhaps I could respect his opinion as valid albeit different than mine. But he has no credibility left. Yes Imane, this is my opinion which I am entitled to just like you are. None of our opinions are fact. Everyone has their preferences and just because you love Nadia doesn’t mean everyone has to agree with you and see your opinions as fact.
The fact of the matter is Nadia was challenged and trusted by Emmy Award winner Crystal Chappell to take on this role of a lifetime and either make or break her career. She did very well with her Venice role and credits Chappell for her guidance in achieving such success. She is a class act and down to earth. In fact, she is very much like a young Crystal. Many similar personality traits, not to mention their beauty. Nadia has the best mentor in the biz. All the best to them ALL. Cut the negativity and childish name calling. This is a worldwide phenomenon. ENJOY IT!
Chappell on Bjorlin’s performance in episode eleven when Lara pushes Ani into the wall in a drunken stupor: “Once I saw the finished episode, I told her, “I think you’re going to be really, really happy.” I’m happy for her. I love it, I love it. You know what she told me the other day? This is kind of cool: Nadia went to an audition and the director was saying nice things about Venice … and that’s how Nadia got the film audition and how they knew her — based on her performance on Venice.”
Interesting how “Saint Chappell” is actually loving Nadia’s success? She was proven right about Nadia being able to handle this role. She said she only writes for the people she loves. How lucky is Ms. Bjorlin? And obviously the feeling is mutual.
I have no rpoblem with CC My problem is with Carly,Daniel and Melanie.But since you can’t make the difference between a character and it’s portrayer I’l leave it at that.
After seeing so many wild lurid pink and tie-dyed bags from Mulberry, I’m thrilled to see the British label return to its roots with this Somerset satchel.
