DAYS Elani Wedding (Photos): What Did You Think Of The Nuptials?
This week on Days of our Lives saw the first African-American couple to be married on-screen in the 54-year history of Days of our Lives. Now while Lani (Sal Stowers) and Eli (Lamon Archey) tried before in a previous ceremony, this one did the job … they are now officially husband and wife!
The ceremony was attended by Lani’s dad, Abe Reynolds (James Reynolds), her mother Tamara Price (Marily McCoo), Billy Davis Jr. as a former FBI mentor to Eli, Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) – it was her restaurant after all and she is Eli’s grandmother. Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) presided over the ceremony.
There were some unwelcome guests at the ceremony as well; leading the bride to question, are we doomed? Why does this keep happening to us everytime we tried to get hitch!
However, fate was on Lani and Eli’s side this day, as even Gabi (Camila Banus) with her antics, and a shocking arrival from Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel), couldn’t rain on this day. Vivian even tried to shoot the bride, but thanks to Rafe (Galen Gering) saving the day and armed with news that her son Stefan (Brandon Barash) could be alive; he informs Viv firmly that she would be killing someone for the wrong reason, even though Vivian is in disbelief that her son is alive. Next, she is whisked out of the ceremony.
Lani still feeling rattled by all the wedding interruptus gets a sign she should marry the man she loves; when her mother, who needed to go lie down earlier, as she was feeling faint, was able to show back up just in time to restart the wedding.
During the ceremony, Eli mentions the loss of little David Abraham and the struggles they went through, but how in the end it brought then closer together. After the rings are exchanged and they are pronounced man and wife, the newlyweds “jump the broom” a wonderful tradition and a symbol of African-American heritage, where the sweeping of the broom signifies sweeping away all the bad energy. After they sweep the broom, Elani jumps over it.
In a behind-the-scenes of the wedding segment released this week on the DOOL app, Sal Stowers and Lamon Archey talk about the inclusion of the ‘jump the broom’ moment in the episode, and how they suggested the idea to DAYS Co-EP Albert Alaar, and how it was written into the episode.
So, what did you think of Lani and Eli’s wedding? Did you enjoy it? Let us know via the comment section below, but first check out this wedding photo gallery of the big day!

Y&R’s Eric Braeden “40 Years As Victor Newman” Celebration (PHOTOS)
The stars came out in full for the iconic Eric Braeden’s (Victor Newman) 40th anniversary with The Young and the Restless at a very special on set celebration at CBS Television City in Los Angeles this past Friday (Braeden premiered as Victor back on February 8, 1980).
Attendees ranged from: a “Who’s Who” of Y&R through the years, important friends, colleagues, former co-stars, family, and executives from CBS and the series.
Y&R’s Doug Davidson (Paul) presided over the introduction of various speakers throughout the presentation to Eric. If anyone could have such a wealth of friends from different walks of life, it’s Eric Braeden. Even, sports journalist and broadcaster Stephen A. Smith (who is a GH fan and has appeared on that soap) gave a moving speech about how knowing Eric for the last 7 years has meant so much to him.
Former Y&R star and now one of the main men from the hit NBC drama series, This Is Us, Justin Hartley, returned to his old stomping grounds to deliver his thoughts on working with Eric, when he, indeed, played Adam Newman for four years. In another tender moment, Justin’s successor, Mark Grossman (Adam) took to the podium as the newest member of the grown-up Newman children to honor Eric.
Peter Bergman (Jack) shared a hilarious story from the Daytime Emmys years ago; when he met his favorite singer of all-time, Aretha Franklin, but who he remembers really wanted to know more about Victor Newman, than he, as Jack! Joshua Morrow (Nick) shared some very funny stories about working with his on-screen dad over the years, while Braeden’s longtime on-screen wife, Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) shared some very sweet sentiments about her enduring co-star.
The place was abuzz with some very stellar guests from the world of daytime when General Hospital’s Maurice Benard (Sonny), Steve Burton (Jason) and James Patrick Stuart (Valentin) showed up to celebrate Eric’s big day.
CBS President, Kelly Kahl, Y&R executive producer, Tony Morina, Y&R head writer and co-EP, Josh Griffith and B&B’s EP and head writer, Brad Bell, and Producer, Ed Scott also saluted Eric from the podium with various speeches, and recollections over Braeden’s 40 years on the top-rated soap and throughout his illustrious film and TV career. Tom LaBonge, a councilman from the city of Los Angeles, made a very special presentation to Eric, as well.
Check out some of photos from Eric’s spectacular 40th anniversary celebration below.
Then, let us know which was your favorite image from the festivities via the comment section, and share your congrats for Eric for a job well-done and reaching this wonderful milestone.

WHOA!
the pic of Sharon and the new Adam/Mark Grossman —
Sharon is what, near 50 yr old and the new Adam looks 30ish.. that is weired..
And, now that Adam is back Rey will soon be let go he has no purpose to stay on..

Su!!!!! Buddy!!! For the first time ever in history…I agree with your entire post!!! Both Sharon’s look Awesome for their age…but New Adam looks like a recast Noah!! Lol. Oh well…soap ages are subjective at best. I hope the storyline is good as I was never an Adam fan until Justin Hartley.
And…you did NOT make one deragoratory comment about the GH writing!! Thank you! You really need to get over that!! Lol.
And…you implied that Rey should leave as he is expendable. Yes and yes!!
Thank you for the kindler and gentler Su! I knew you had it in you bro!!!!

hi Colin !
I am beside myself with glee that you agreed with me with happeness!
Without a doubt, I’m putting you on my Chrismas gift list..
I’m out of Radio Shack gift cards but- I will search for something special 🙂
And- not to shock you I’m not a Bro I’m a Ms.
so- you might get Christmas cookies!
And- Rey has out-lived his purpose and soon he will be gone; he just doesn’t fit in.
Waiting for Adam- so far Sharon just doesn’t seem right with his youngness..
((I still want Pratt back 🙂

su000, you’re knocking it out of the park today! Despite all that went down (or was alleged to have gone down), I will always miss Michael Muhney as Adam — whatever he did (or didn’t do), he was spectacular and made everyone else look good! As Kay points out here, Sharon Case has “chemistry with the phone book.” But so did Muhney!
Nothing against the new actor playing Adam, but the age difference is, as you imply, striking! Case is stunningly beautiful, so I imagine even young pups would find her appealing. But this has “cougar” written all over it.
PS: Oh, and for the record, you’re always a woman to me!

This Adam is just too young! Bring back Michael Muhney

I feel like i’m looking at Cain #2. TWIN any one ? this does not reap any thing MORE or exciting… as he doesn’t have his own unique look.

Sharon Case & Mark Grossman look ridiculous together! And they were married!?!?!
He is WAAAAY to young to play Adam!
Sharon looks like his MOMMY!.
I know Adam is younger than Victoria & Nicolas, but not THAT much younger.
Kay
May 10, 2019 at 5:00 pm
Nick was 16 when Adam was born I am not sure why JG went this route but he did but they needed to acknowledge the past when JH was playing Adam he and Case maybe shared two scenes together. I do not think he will end up with Sharon this is just to tell the history he was involved with Sharon married to her long before the con artist/rapist Chelsea. Oh I forget her past is never brought up only Sharon’s! MCE is closer only five years older so everybody can relax and if you can’t I did not hear anybody complaining about PB 65 having a romance with a 29 year old !!!
Kay
May 10, 2019 at 5:02 pm
Sharon Case is a knock out and has chemistry with the phone book!!!
Harry
May 11, 2019 at 1:24 pm
Kay, agree with you about Sharon Case. However, I find her dull with Rey. He might afford viewers with nice eye candy, but this actor is wooden and lifeless. I much preferred his brother Arturo.
SZima
May 10, 2019 at 6:03 pm
I bitched about Peter Bergen and that 29 year old all the time. They were ridiculous together too!

May 11, 2019 at 2:05 pm
Hello Kay! I just want to say you’re also knocking it out of the park today! I definitely agree with you regarding the kind words for Sharon Case as well as absurdities pertaining to age differences of romantic pairs. I fondly remember OLTL, but it seemed that as Robert S. Woods (Beau Buchanan) got older and older, his love interests got younger and younger. Perhaps Y&R was/is following suit…
Kay
May 8, 2019 at 9:45 am
Well just call the nu/Adam / Benjamin Button and everybody will be able to deal with it. The problem with him being cast with a younger actor is all the past history etc. in truth however Nick and Sharon use to change his diapers. Only a soap opera . Good looking devil !
Kay
May 10, 2019 at 6:37 pm
He did research the character and watched all three actors portrayals I am willing to give it a chance I am sure he and Sharon are not in for the long haul but I do not want her ever in Nicks presence again he can have Phyllis

Sorry Kay,
As I am very partial to Nick, despite his hound dog actions lately, I can’t stand him with either Phyllis, they bring out his worst qualities.

Just read something a little crazy on another site. An idea that the shooting was planned and set up by Adam and an accomplice. Very interesting if true. Money was not taken, no vital organs injured, he’s making a quick recovery, but mostly scaring the hell out of daddy so as to grant his every wish. Sounds like something Adam would do. Oh, and the best part is the convenient return of his memory.
