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!

Television icon, Dick Van Dyke made his debut on Days of our Lives last week on the Friday, September 1st episode of the Peacock streaming soap opera.

Van Dyke is playing an apparent war veteran and mystery man, who has amnesia.  On Monday’s, September 4th episode, viewers learned that the mystery man ‘s name is Joseph Bell, while John (Drake Hogestyn) discovers that Bell served in the same unit in the Korean War with his biological father.  What more will be revealed?

Back in April of this year, Dick Van Dyke taped his guest appearance on the set of Days of our Lives. Dick’s casting came about due to his real-life friendship with gym buddy, Drake Hogestyn.

In-story, Dick has shared scenes with several enduring DAYS cast members including: Deidre Hall (Marlena), Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) and Bill and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Doug and Julie).

Here are some behind the scenes snaps of Van Dyke’s visit to Salem below.
