Make sure to catch Days of our Lives on any platform you can next week! (The President Donald Trump impeachment hearings could alter the regularly scheduled daytime time slot for the series on NBC).  For, it is a pivotal one for fans that have been following along the major storylines of the innovative time jump that started to air last November.

In one emotional week, Sonny (Freddie Smith) and Justin (Wally Kurth) revisit the last day of Adrienne’s life — which happens to be last Mother’s Day.  In addition, Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) goes into labor.  While. Brady (Eric Martsolf) causes tension when he brings Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) to his parents’ townhouse for Mother’s Day.  Plus, Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) gets an upsetting visit from someone from her past.  How does this all tie-in to what went down that fateful night?

The latest NBC promo for the series promises we will learn what happened to Adrienne, especially since on Friday’s episode, Ciara (Victoria Konefal) told Will(Chandler Massey) he is not responsible for his mother-in-laws death AFTER he signed the divorce papers with Sonny.   Plus major intel on what happened to Brady and Kristen’s baby and how Haley Chen (Thia Megia) died, which had left an anguished JJ (Casey Moss) turning back to drugs.

Catch the preview below.  Then, let us know your theories on what happened last Mother’s Day in Salem via the comment section below!

Friday’s episode seemed to be putting all the pieces in place…

Ciara tells Will that he’s not the one who killed Adrienne.
Eric & Sarah get tested to be bone marrow donors for “their” baby, while Brady & Kristen are left to speculate on what might have happened had their baby not “died’

Why the air quotes?? Because anybody familiar with ReRon’s writing knows that baby switches are something he’s dragged out at least 666 times. It’s only obvious at this point.

Really don’t need to see the return of Maggie’s other ridiculous insta-kid, the surfer girl con artist whatever her name was, but hopefully it will just be a one day thing to explain the drunken state Maggie was obviously in when… well you all see this coming, right?? (At least they aren’t bringing SuperEggDaniel back again, guess that’s a good thing)

Now.. the only question a Devil really has – since the promo says ALL the time jump questions will be answered – is will we finally get clarification on who killed Psycho Jordan? (Yeah she’s in Hell, but she says she was hit from behind and didn’t see who did it).

I say it was the nanny/Sonny’s new boyfriend, whatever his name is. And rumor here in Hell is that he’s bisexual and is also baby David’s daddy. And probably as crazy as Jordan was, which is what attracted her to him in the first place.

Yes, I can also see a “switched baby” story line a mile away.

The infamous baby-switcheroo. Yup —-when you say “their” baby, are you suggesting that Mickey could be Kristin’s and Brady’s baby? If so, I like the way you think—-I, actually, considered that obvious phenomenon myself.

I “LOVE” when Maggie – bends – AND turns ‘no right here

her incredulous stupor of past has reeked some thing, no?

her drunken walk , pays

LOL… ” I LOVE this woman” always… Lindsey Godfrey with John Anniston, with Paul Telfer… has cashed

My beacon: “my” mother Horton

“…SuperEggDaniel ” Oh God… you do hear me… no more

While it’s good to get answers after seeing what happened within a year ahead; I still think it would have been smarter to have one time jump episode first and go back to the present to then see how it played out. One special episode showing Will in jail with Ben but not knowing why, Kayla and Justin loved up but how? Steve with Hope/Gina and Kate but for what reason? Victor in hospital but how? Lani and Kristen in a convent? How is that going to happen? Sorry, but, poor choice to just jump and go. Jump, go back. THAT would’ve really made me tune in and not out.

So Days IS heading to NBC’s streaming Peacocok service after all. Smart move NBC.

I hope long time viewers can get used to the idea that they will only be able to watch Days on NBC’s streaming service

Anne, there hasn’t been a statement that DAYS would only be available by streaming. That’s in addition to it’s TV airings, but of course, because of the impeachment trial, DAYS will be preempted, which means viewers will have to watch at the NBC website, NBC App or On Demand.

Peacock TV streaming begins in July.

4everDAYS,
One can also watch on Utube or Search, Google, Chrome, etc and type in Full episode, name of show and date for any show, any day. Love it, no ads.

Anne, so far both platforms i’m guessing, even NBC Exec Paul Teledgy wasn’t sure it would go there, but it has. No doubt Peacock streaming will be it’s final destination if NBC opens that hour to Talk or Cooking or News, they don’t exercise many options once a soap is cancelled. I’ll be signing up. I love no Ad’s option. Hopefully they’ll pile on available past episodes also, but knowing NBC, most likely not. At least it’s not officially gone even when/if it leaves the network.

Where did you hear that? The article Michael posted a couple days ago says exactly the opposite.

I hope not…. because that move is going to piss off some older mortals who have been literally watching Days from day one, and who aren’t as exactly tech savvy as their grandkids are. Some of them might not even have internet.

NBC has announced it on their official Peacock Twitter feed @peacocktv. They’re proud to announce it will be streaming. Go there to verify on Twitter.

The Devil doesn’t do Twitter, though I did sign up for “email updates” on the Peacock website. Not that they have sent any yet.

If Peacock carries these episodes the same day for free that would be a good thing. Now if only ABC would do something similar… because it’s actually a lot harder to get an episode of GH on line than it is Days. (8 days late on ABC.com is not an acceptable solution)

Satan
Please see my reply to 4everDAYS. These shows are available every day, on Utube or Search google, etc.

I like that, dev—-The only irritant, in this “turn of events”, is Gina. I have never liked Hope, and I like Gina and her weird, non-palatable accent, even less.
Oh, wait—-spoke too soon—-there are a few more ‘irritants’, albeit Hope/Gina is at the top of the list.
Eric, with his sanctimonious, oh-woe is me, martyr-like facade, gets on my nerves, too. Don’t let me get started on pitiful Sarah—
Then, there’s Steve/Stefano. Really?? Not buying it—-especially when he butchers the Italian language.
Oh, woe is me!!

Celia I’m not sure why they made Steve Stevano, or why Kristian Alfonso seems like a weak actress not being able to pull off the Gina persona. It’s never worked or been amusing. Will is Sami’s son and necktie strangler or not, he should have guilt seduced Ben into having a roll-a-bout in that tiny cell. Deal with the angst after. The two Eeyore’s (Sarah and Eric) can stay gone. Nicole should have been Sami’s boozy, champagne drinking replacement. Instead she’s just dull and house wifey. And viewers continue to tune out. Falling below 2 million in the ratings is a clear sign something has gone really wrong. Eventually this WILL be on the PPV tier of Peacock. NBC saw and remembers the uptick in Dish subscribers for Passions. Soooo….people may not like me saying it but it’s an inevitable bottom line.

Well, whether people like what you say or not, I agree with you. I had no idea the radings had sunk so derply…
Some of the charecters are not keeping en par—I suspect it’s because of the weak storylines.
Many of these characters have morphed so drastically, it’s becoming a bit tedious—-nonetheless, I was realky getting into the show until the flashbacks. I don’t blame the actors.
I have never liked looking back. I get the feeling this flashback thing was not originally on the menu—-it was a last minute do-over because so many of the integral issues in the plots yielded nothing but head-scratching.
I think the story(ies) should have continued “as is”—-now, it seems that TPTB are rushing through the year the audience has lost. Ergo, the flashbacks.

Celia, dear, I’ve recently took to watching DAYS a couple of times a week when Y&R got so BORING. Some of my favorite soap actors, like Mary Beth Evans, being on was certainly a draw. I know it’ll take a while to put all the stories together but wanted to get your opinion on two actors/characters — Xander and Evan. Boy, could GH use some charisma like that. What do you think?

Hey, Soaphound,
Y&R is MY soap—-There was not a day, during my College years, that I would’t rush to my dorm-room just to watch the recorded eps.
Thus, it is such a let-down to witness the idiocy offered these days. What a fallacy!! The characters are puppets—-Theo? Worst actor that ever was. No charisma—-and, what a brat!!! I do not believe he is who he says he is!! Staged!!
I’m glad you’re watching Days—-I may not like the back and forth struggle between “present-day” and “flashbacks”, but I do appreciate how it’s coming together—-I spoke too soon—-
I do tend to judge precipitously before giving the plots their due process.
By Evan, do you mean Mary Beth Evans and Xander? As a twosome? If so, as with Sarah ( the most boring character on TV) Kayla is very sedate for Xander. He’s HOT—-I like a bad-boy who’s not so bad, afterall !! Know what I mean? LOL…
If you mean someeone else , please enlighten me.
I will give any couple a chance—-I have to “feel” the characters as they interact.
Unlike Gabi—-with all her wishy-washy sexiness and savoir-faire in the boudoir; I have yet to regale her with any applause—her hair is gorgeous, though. LOL.

Celia, what’s happening on Y&R is heartbreaking to me. I used to watch back in the beginning in 1974 when every day was something to look forward to. NOW, I just dread when I see certain characters are going to be featured that day, especially Theo, Chance (another non-actor with good hair and nothing else), Conner (he makes Patty McCormack’s BAD SEED seem like Shirley Temple), and the new and desecrated Billy Abbott. I love Mark Grossman as Adam but he and Chelsea take over the show too often, leaving no time for Kevin, Chloe, Michael, Lauren, Gloria, Christine, Paul, even Esther. So sad. On DOOL, I actually meant Evan, Sonny’s new love interest. There’s something intriguing there. I wish HE could have played Chance!

Ohhhh—his name is Evan! LOL—I’ve been so busy—I’m sort of lost—
Yeah, Soaphound—he is hunky!! Gorgeous man. I remember a time when I would ‘investigate’ every new character—-those were the carefree days!!
Did you happen to read Jimh’s posts? He thinks Evan killed Jordan—-I do agree that this guy does have a dark side—-when someone is too good-looking; too good-to-be-true, there’s the potential of a Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde persona(e) hidden somewhere.
The irony would really be “pungent” if Xander were gay. Imagine him finally coming out of the closet. I would love to see that!!
What a diabolical fable the writers are spinning. Yet, the unfolding stories are compelling—way beyond my expectations. I must apologize to the writers for not having had faith—-I just finished watching—I am impressed!!
As you say, what’s happening to Y&R is heartbreaking, albeit I am glad I don’t have to see Tessa. So many more characters who need to depart. Lance? He doesn’t do it for me. Remember the other Lance? An Adonis!! Plus, he was interesting. Ronan is another character I’d love to see—-but, it has to be Jeff Brosnan paired with Phyllis!!
The new Adam is the right age, finally. But, not with Chelsea. I never liked her and I never will.
TPTB have ruined this character. She has another son, whom she seems to have forgotten and ye-gods would like us to do the same. Johnny exists, and a mother cannot erase a child whom she has borne from her life, no matter how hard the PTB ignore that fact. She is so worried about her little Satan-child; goes on and on about a mother’s love; yet, here she is belying her words. The writers should remedy that. Chelsea should ask for visitations and Johnny should know who his bio mother is. There’s a loaded plot!!
Gotta run….my husband just walked in…later❤️.

Judi Evans has always given it her all and I would move heaven and Earth to see Adrienne’s last curtain call.

If DAYS is interrupted in your area, it’s available On Demand, on the NBC website and the NBC App!

These episodes are important. They show what happened during the time jumped. Make your views count by watching the episodes via NBC’s website, App or On Demand. Illegal uploads don’t help the show and in the end those uncounted views hurt us. You’ve had questions. Now, get the answers.

It’s a great time to start watching DAYS!

I understand, 4ever, that the jump-period left a lot of ‘splainin to do’ .What I don’t understand is the ‘jump’ in the first place. I must admit that I have missed a few eps—-did I miss the explanation?
I don’t pay attention to the ratings, nor do I ‘chase’ after them, but I trust @davlestev to know what’s up with the ratings.
I love Days—-been watching since 1990 ( I was four, LOL). Believe it or not, I remember ‘stuff’—–so, I accepted the ‘jump’ and eagerly anticipated what was to follow.
But, the flashbacks do not my interest arouse. At the same time, I will agree that they are needed to fill the gaps.
I will definitely watch —whatever venue.

3 things that gnaw @ 1 year :

1. the “demise” of Judi Evans: ” I Love HEr” to bits and piece
2. the death of Kristen AND Brady – child –
3. the do out ; Xander AND Sarah’ BABy????

I “MISS” Christopher Sean’ (magic)

I … am betrothed to Ron Carlivati

It’s so sexy how days Is

but first I MUST address the miss of Adrienne: who may be Bonnie to my delight that she’s ‘more

she’s too good Judi Evans in ALL

they missed the boat on pairing Wally Kurth’ Justin w/kayla? Should have gone with Kristian Alfonso’ With ‘ Justin… it mystified back then go again.

Kayla will always be WITH Patch Steve Johnson… i’m STILL enjoying his two eyes

so.. if the rumour is true. that Bonnie is coming back …???? better be

2. the death of Eileen Davidson’ true : she’s no more Kristen than Stacy’

ho ho.. LOL okay … Stacy Haiduk HAS SO surprised ME.. AND yeah, I am coming from her real story.. to finding success and knocking it out of the park AS… Kristen

YEAH, I will reiterate.. : Stacy’ Kristen gets to UNmask what ED DID SO WELL… watching Kristen now.. with more than always masking her … has been noted and CAST OUT how Haiduk made it… WOW kudos to her screen partners’ she’s ON

alas, I will remember …

Xander’ Paul Telfer
Sarah’ LINDSEY GODFREY ‘IS “MY” STAR

you have Kristen, Xander, Sarah commanding town

how fun is that? three stellar ACTS who rEEL

so to see her in so much pain.. altho it should be noted more… because I got bored.. when Kristen walking in to Brady / Nicole… as soon as Brady LIT IN TO.. “do not touch Nicole or I will kill you”… wah blah blah seen it before let Kristen have that attachment… A baby that won’t be denied and by softening up become w/Brady … who it is;

Stacy Haiduk

let that child be AND the story is riveting; for .. BRADY the manstep don’t stop HIS being

let the tension rise some more beside’ Nicole

3. the Xander AND Sarah fallout and TELL

Xander can wait till Eric and Sarah come back to town… he was the father.. she wanted… bore a serious connection that much more stronger and rivet to watch unlikely become real, (reel, okay mystifying) Xander AND Sarah WITH Eric ANY MAN in town Sarah draws spells

it hasn’t even been redeeming of; he’s done that job and continues carry

he allures and traps

Judy Evans
Stacy Haiduk
Paul Telfer
Lindsey Godfrey
Christopher Sean

the rest of the cast

BIG

DID – I say… – “I love Eric Martsolf”

ICING on the… Cake. crème de la crème

TOP DRAW – Rafe Hernandez wITH Carrie Brady

Ms. Christie Clark… “wanted on the set”

dynamo, “Please”

with Rafe’ son

Brady and Kristen child
Xander/Eric and Sarah child

La La La La La

HEARTening

Patrick?? Is that you?? You’re back!! Yeayyyy!! Agreed about Christopher.
I adore Telfer—bad boy thst he is!! I am waiting for TPTB to turn him into a choir boy—-hope not too much of a transformation. He needs to keep some of his evil-doing nuances.

I agree with you…I also, think Justin/Hope would be a good pairing plus Ciara is a nice tie in for both of them, since he has been doing his usual failing job as an attorney trying to help Ben. Definitely, want Steve/Kayla back together, if they kept him with two eyes I wouldn’t complain either. When it’s done, I’d actually like to see him become Police Commissioner..

Do think Rolf did yet another mind switch and Adrienne thinks she is Bonnie Lockhart and vice versa which means Bonnie was killed instead!

Oh, Jimmy—–what an astute idea!!!!! I love it—-and the plot thickens —Justin, Kayla, Bonnie/Adrienne quadrangle? LOL.
Who killed schizoid, jaded-Jordan?

The baby David’s father…the one interested in Sonny killed her!!!!

Ahhh—interesting—WOW, Jimmy– makes a lot of sense!! That must be the reason he’s David’s sitter? So, he has an agenda. Can’t wait!!

yep….kinda like GHs Nelle-the male version!!!

People are still spreading hate before they even see the episodes that fill in the blanks?
They are only 4 soaps left. You reap what you sew.

Channing, it’s so unfortunate many people don’t let things play out before jumping to conclusions and or giving lip service. Even the writer who writes the TV Guide Cheers and Jeers section lambasted DAYS for offing the Last Blast crew on The DOOL App. He admitted on Twitter he had a deadline to meet so he didn’t have time to watch all the episodes. And the editor won’t allow a retraction.

I don’t think Adrienne is dead.

Most has been spilled via spoilers then social media tweets. I personally will not watch because I don’t care to know how they got there..I just want some of the stupidity to end and am tired of so much valuable airtime being used for flashbacks and now, various characters having dreams. the end of the day, writer is back to long drawn out stories, tiresome triangles to create angst, bringing people back from the dead…how innovative was this time jump really?? still waiting for several story arcs that are approaching a year if not more (gina and that awful accent) to be over. All, I am hanging on for is when we get some more Steve and Kayla scenes. Those actors are magic.

I hate they are killing Adrienne off and firing Judi Evans, She is one of my all time favorites on Days. Then I assume they are going to use her liver to save that horrendous character Summer, since she said she has cirrhosis and the spoilers say that’s Adrienne’s organs save someone else. Why waste one the best Days’ characters to save one of the worst ones that ever existed on the show.

I also can’t believe the people who think Stacy H is great as Kristin. She is way over the top and she can’t play the nice/sensitive side of Kristen which Eileen did to perfection.

And I hate all the Kristian Alfonso haters. I’m actually loving the Princess Gina and Stevano story. I think she is great and Stephen Nichols is great as well. I look forward to them being on every day.

To be honest Freddie/Chandler/Stacey H. have performed outstandingly during this time jump..Wally was too OTT, I thought for a moment I was watching Rocky- “Adrienne”..I’m still 50/50 with time jump–too confusing in present/then past, 4 characters having dreams, 3 doppelgangers running around with more too follow, the returns from the dead.what this back week should show writers is what works–half way descent stories, with good acting is what people want. They need to give Mary Beth Evans more screen time with Stephen Nichols, the little they have had still shows the magical chemistry between them. They bring out the best in each other everytime. Kayla/Justin, MEH chemistry and rebound. Try Justin with Hope.

‘Brilliant Minds’ Officially Canceled After 2 Seasons at NBC; DAYS Alum Al Calderon, OLTL Alum Teddy Sears and Zachary Quinto Among the Cast

Published

By

After languishing on the bubble for months, on Friday, NBC handed down the decision and canceled the medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons.

Brilliant Minds stars Zachary Quinto as neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.

The final six episodes of what will now be the end of its second and final season were already set to air beginning on May 27, after being pulled off the network schedule in February as viewership saw a steep decline. Brilliant Minds second season became the lowest-rated drama on linear TV viewing, which didn’t bode well fo a network renewal, although it had its hard core fan base.

There are some exceptional notables in the cast along with the talented Quinto that includes Days of Our Lives alum, Al Calderon (ex-Javi Hernandez) who joined the series in its second season as Nurse Nico Silva, and One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) who plays Wolf’s love interest and fellow physician, Dr. Josh Nichols.

The rest of the talented cast includes: Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, and Brian Altemus.

In an ironic twist of fate on Thursday, April 30, Days of Our Lives finally revealed the actor who was Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Javi, when they announced that actor Jacob Martinez had now stepped into the role. Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming new episode, Calderon left in the spring of 2025, but will be seen in the part for the final part this month, and then on June 20, Martinez debuts as Salem’s new Javi.

Taking to his Instagram with a sorrowful and heartfelt post on the Brilliant Minds cancellation was Teddy Sears who wrote, “Thank you, Brilliant Minds. I got the call today and I didn’t want to hear, but I knew that it would come, You have to be a particular vintage to quote Don Henley from memory, but that’s the line that came to mind earlier today after I got off the phone with our inimitable showrunner Michael Grassi who delivered the news that NBC has cancelled the series”.

Photo: NBC

Sears continued, “To say that I feel sad to be moving on from these stories, this character, and this cast and crew just doesn’t paint the entire picture. I’m sad, sure. But I’m also deeply grateful that I got hired to play this part, so proud of the stories we told, and the other actors I got to play alongside. I’m excited to see what comes next, what adventures await, and terrified to be without a professional home. A quick and heartfelt thank you to everyone, all over the globe, who found us and found themselves in us, in our characters and in our stories. We wouldn’t have been able to tell them without you. And we still have 6 fresh episodes yet to air, and I do hope you tune in enjoy the remainder of the series. They’re the best we’ve done.”

As he wrapped up his sentiments, Sears signed off with, “The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I figured out I have to learn again. I’ve been trying to get down to the heart of the matter. But everything changes…Thank you, Brilliant Minds.”

The medical drama was created and executive produced by Michael Grassi alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside

Published

on

By

The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!

After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.

So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF

The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.

Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA

Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP

Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.

So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.

Jacob Martinez is ‘Days of Our Lives’ New Javi Hernandez Replacing Al Calderon in the Role

Published

on

By

Finally! The casting has been revealed as to just who would be Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Days of our Lives, Javi Hernandez. On Friday, April 30, the long-running soap opera revealed Jacob Martinez is taking on the part and he will first be seen this coming June 30th and then on all-new episodes streaming on Peacock.

As previously reported, the popular Calderon exited the soap opera last year to join the cast of the NBC primetime medical drama, Brilliant Minds as nurse Nico Silva, who in May will air the remainder of their second season. The series has been on the bubble for renewal by the network. His last episodes as Javi will also air this May on DAYS.

Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming, Martinez has been secretly ensconced in all the drama in Salem for quite some time. When viewers see the new Javi in story, we should learn what will happen in Javi’s relationship with Leo Stark played by Emmy winner, Greg Rikaart, plus his continued relationship with his relatives in the Hernandez clan. Currently, when Javi returned to Salem after taking care of his ailing father, and after the bust-up of his marriage to Leo thanks to Dimitri (Peter Porte), he claimed he had moved on with someone else while he was away from Salem.

Like Calderon before him, Martinez is a multi-talented actor and singer. Jacob’s resume is impressive having appeared in the musical In Pieces: The Musical at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater and he was hand-picked by Joey Contreras to play the role of Grey. Other credits include: the short film, Memory Swim and the play Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage.

Martinez hails from Norfolk, Nebraska and appeared when he was very young at the Johnny Carson Theatre, and as DAYS fans know, Jacob is now working at the Days of our Lives studios, right where the “Tonight Show” is filled. In addition, Jacob Martinez is a graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA).

Taking to his Instagram on Thursday, April 30 once the news of his casting was revealed, Martinez, expressed, “Way too many people to thank in one post, so I’ll just say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART to each and every person who continues to pour into me and encourage me to chase my dreams. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am. I already feel beyond blessed, supported, and loved. See you all in Salem ⏳”

Jacob Martinez appeared on Friday on the Days of our Lives Instagram account announcing his casting. You can check it out below. Deadline was the first to report the casting switch.

So, excited to learn who is the new Javi Hernandez? Please welcome Jacob Martinez to the role and be on the lookout for his debut on June 30. Comment below.
