It’s a terrific role, not sure if I can say what it is yet , but I’ll keep you posted. And when the episodes start airing. 👌”

Just who Richard will be playing is under wraps, but lets’ remember he has a penchant for playing bad guys! Joe Scully Jr. on GH, not so nice! He also played Martin Fitzgerald on Passions and Jeff Hartman on Loving.

Days continues to keep things fresh! I hope he comes on as a mobster from Avas past and that causes trouble for her and Rafe. Dont like that the writers are favoring Rafe/ Nicole over Ava and Rafe! Rafe needs a soulmate and not to be a filler/ rebound from another popular couple. Everyone knows Nicole and Eric are endgame! I wish Y n r would take note, Days takes risks and fires on all cylinders while ‘ young and restless’ is really the ‘ old and tired’ . Gimme a break.

Sony doesn’t own DAYS, Ken Corday does. Sony is the distributor who does a piss poor job distributing DAYS so as not to compete against Y&R in foreign markets. Sony owns Y&R and and the profits aren’t shared, whereas Sony only gets a share of profits for DAYS distribution.

I really am loving the Ava and Rafe pairing! Very sexy couple… finally someone who peaks Rafe’s interest. He’s very much into Ava… I saw the sparks when she first having scenes with Rafe. I am not in favour of Nicole and Rafe being together. She is still married even though she cheated and slept with Zander. It’s time to bring a new Eric home or dissolve the marriage?

There isn’t anyone she hasn’t cheated and slept with. I hope whether Eric is Greg Vaughn or a new one, he dumps her ass. Poor Allie, with Nicolle and Sammy as her role models, the girl can’t win.

Charlie’s father?

Good idea. Hmm….

He certainly looks like Charlie. Baby grandfather, Philly friend of Jake and possible mob rival to EJ.

Joe Scully Jr. was a complete waste of time character created by Ron Carlivati at GH. Since we all know how ReRon likes to repeat himself (hence the name ReRon) I’m predicting Steinmetz will be a complete waste of time member of the Vitali crime family when he comes to Salem. Which means he’s probably the father of the dead rapist, Charlie. Who will want revenge on Ava, probably Allie and Tripp… and pretty much anybody in town who his piece of dragonshit son interacted with, as he will blame them all for Charlie being dead. Absent from his revenge… Read more »

He looks like he could have the face of a DiMera…and we all know what that means. He could very easily be one of the bad guys that family has a penchant for spawning.

Tracy Quartermaine was getting IT. she swooned, all her senses alive … this is how good @GH had it with Joe Scully, Jr. could this be Kate dance card ? I still love him

here’s hoping @Ron and @Ryan… give him some meat… he’s 110% MAN. WOW tracy did it

i’m in line for this studmuffin

I’m sticking with my original prediction that he’s Charlie’s dad, but I’ll throw an alternate possibility in, just for the HELL of it: What if he’s a recast of the long lost Peter Blake? Adopted son of Stefano DiMera and biological brother of the soon to be again-departed Kristen Blake DiMera. Given the total failure of most recasts during the ReRon era, I sincerely hope this is NOT the case. Especially with recast EJ already showing up in a couple weeks. Last thing I want to watch is a “battle for control of DiMera industries” made up of a bunch… Read more »

OOOH yes, I agree, it’s Charlie’s father!

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.
