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!

47th Annual Daytime Emmys Draws Over 3 Million Viewers For CBS Telecast with Return to Network TV
Friday night was a good night for daytime! With its first foray back on to network television since 2011, the Daytime Emmy kudofest, while for the first time held this year virtually, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, scored very well in its timeslot.
The CBS broadcast averaged 3.1 million total viewers and a 0.3 demo rating. That is way up from the last time viewers saw the award show on TV when it was on cable network POP TV back in 2015 with just over 900,000 viewers for its initial broadcast.
According to TV Insider report: The first hour of the Emmys garnered 3.3 million viewers to top the hour by edging out a rerun on ABC”s Shark Tank, and then slipped to second place for the second hour with 2.8 million viewers.
These were strong numbers for Friday night, and hopefully CBS and the other major networks will now continue this, and serve up the Daytime Emmy Awards moving forward.

The ladies of CBS’s The Talk hosted the event; each virtually from their homes, in an event filled with at-home acceptance speeches and presenters, and clip packages. The show was produced by NATAS and Associated Television International

“…Scott stars as the seemingly most handsome man in the world ”
not far from the truth…. disarmingly so
add in his talent
he was near perfect as a DiMera… even if… at the end… his love for Sami… won out
oy! SALUTE to Joseph Mascolo !
Stefano is truly, the heartbeat, of Days ( right alongside with Victor )
bar none… with all the respect, given, from his peers…. in a class all to himself

I know for a fact, we will be having a “Friend’s Gathered at Sherri’s House Night” every night for as long as this series lasts!!!! James has a huge following, we HATED when he left “DOOL” ! We wished him well but we were not happy about it, lol!!! This series is a great idea! The Waynans Brother’s do this to original movies & series all the time, but “Lost!…. Whoever thought this one up is a mastermind! We can not wait! Kudos to TBS for coming up with this!ll Tell “BEG” James (he is the most beautiful man ever) Scott to sign a “FOREVER” contact, he is by far above of Soap Operas but we will take him however we can get him…! He’s so yummy…! And please don’t kill him off!!!!!!!

I am watching this show because of James Scott. I look forward to seeing him in a comedic roll. If they kill him off…they will have “wrecked” the show.

Just watched a 20 min showing of Wrecked first show and the character James Scott plays was killed — sure hope they’re going to use a Soap trick and bring him back from the dead!!!!!!

If James Scott’s character is killed off in the first episode, that will be the last episode I watch. Producers – listen up.

If you really killed off James Scott, big, big, huge mistake…..All DOOL fans have been waiting for his return on any TV show

Language is not family friendly and killing off James Scott means I won’t watch again. I had been looking forward to this for so long. So disappointed.

Just watched the premier episodes of Wrecked for the sole purpose of seeing James Scott. I was totally shocked when they killed him off in the very first episode! I kept expecting them to find him still alive somehow. This is B/S….if he’s really off the show then I will NOT be watching in the future! Good Luck with your “Wrecked” show!
