Days Of Our Lives
THIS WEEK ON DAYS: Marlena, Kayla, and Kate Revealed to be in a ‘Scientist’s’ Laboratory?
While Days of our Lives’ Marlena (Deidre Hall), Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) and Kate (Lauren Koslow) have been hovering somewhere between heaven and hell and meeting up with all kinds of former residents of Salem, including, most recently, Devil Doug (Bill Hayes) and Nick Fallon (Blake Berris), there may be a major shift and some revealing intel in this week’s promo for the Peacock streaming soap opera.
In the preview for the action on DAYS, Marlena is heard saying “If this isn’t earth, then how can we be alive?” Cut to: Marlena, Kayla and Kate laying side by side of each other inside a scientist laboratory (calling Dr. Rolf?) in what looks like cryogenic chambers or long see-through tubes.
The begs the question, since the trios departure from the living in Salem, have they been secretly, or knowingly been brought to Dr. Rolf’s in an effort to bring them back to life? As we know on DAYS, most everybody is never really ‘dead-dead’.
While it seems for the past month or so, the women have been in some part of the after-life, hell in disguise, or whatever you would like to call it, will this week’s episodes be the defining moment in this story arc?
Watch the preview below.
Now, let us know, what do you think will happen with Marlena, Kayla, and Kate next? Share your theories below.
Clearly this is all the setup to reveal Megan Hathaway’s involvement with Rolf & Orpheus, and the fact that this cryogenic lab will be the very same facility where Bo Brady was revealed to be “on ice” at the end of “Beyond Salem 2”.
Not even the DiMeras are going to have more than one of those labs. Can you imagine what the electric bill is every month for those cryogenic freezers?? It would probably be cheaper to air condition Hell!
I love days and all the actors but this story line is so stupid…. We knew they weren’t really dead so there was no weight to the deaths and the whole devil thing again was so bad and the acting was to over the top. I also can’t believe Allie will and sonny left the show!
I know it is the dumbest story line ever. Why can’t they write something that might could actually happen onstead if all this far fetched make believe nonsense?
And waste so much money on the heaven and hell sets when they could have made more sets in Salem give people houses or work places or other outdoor areas besides the square
Those sets were left over from “Beyond Salem 2”. And trust me, that was not Hell! You might remember me saying (as BeelzeDoug) that Marlena would soon be joining me downstairs, so not in that room… let’s just call it Hell’s “lobby” of sorts.
Bo Brady previously had a meeting there with one of my attorneys, Larry Welch.
Lol you’re so funny. I know some of it was from beyond Salem but it seemed like there was more.. can you show your true form already! Lol how dumb will days make you look?
Too over the top. Can’t believe I am paying for this.
To be fair there is ALOT of other content on peacock to enjoy!
NOPE
Thank you Universe that Ron C no longer writes for GH, if I had to sit through what DOOL fans have to and endure this crap, I would just DIE!
To be fair though, some of the writing on GH in the last year or so has been every bit as bad, if not worse. Like anything involving Nina, Dex, or the whole Tricky Dick Nixon Falls thing, for example.
And this whole “Hooker” thing, which has to be the worst serial killer story ever.
There’s been a few times I was convinced that ReRon was sneaking the scripts under the door of his old pal Valentini’s office!
Satan…Thank you Satan. While we don’t agree on Nina or Nixon Falls, today I just turned off GH halfway through, went outside in the sunshine, and took a walk instead because of the ugliness of the stories like the “hooker.” Or even the torture of Dex. Right now there is no happy storyline for anyone except Lucy. All depressing. Where are the writers getting their inspiration??? And I thought the daily news was bad. No relief from GH. And B&B is stupid.
And even Lucy had to be kidnapped. tortured, and is now presumed to be dead, while secretly shacked up with Colonel Sanders… er.. Marty.
Right now I’m assuming these writers are in “clear the decks” mode since they have to wrap up all of these storylines that have dragged on for months (or even years in some cases) so they can move into “60th anniversary mode” in late March.
Satan…Colonel Sanders/Marty…Big smile. Wonder if they will figure how to write more happy, adventure, mystery stories in year 61?
Just awful and stupid. Sorry but I can no longer watch this ridiculousness.
This is pure Ron. Writing for his own entertainment!The three actresses deserve better than this!
So many twists to this storyline! I love Days- it is so different than anything else on tv !
This is the craziest ass show ever and I wouldn’t miss one moment.
Same! I am loving it!!! Pure escapism!
Crazy but love it I don’t want to miss it either
Does anyone know when the peacock exclusive episodes start?
They’re either running now or are about to start. As I said above, the fact that the three women appear to be in the same DiMera cryogenics lab where Bo Brady’s body was seen in “Beyond Salem 2” would seem to be a way to “bridge” the two storylines, with Meghan Hathaway showing up this week to further integrate last summer’s “spinoff” into the main show.
This would sync up pretty well with Days habit of taping episodes 6 months in advance, since we’re right now about 6 months away from the August 2022 announcement that Days would be leaving NBC for Peacock.
It’s supposed to be this month…which is ending. The only way we may really know is it’s supposed to coincide with a drop of past seasons. Supposed. It was written up that way in the initial move to Peacock but who really knows. Only NBC. Promise then wait.
Yea I remember reading that hopefully they can bring some past episodes that would be fun. Didn’t they say they were getting new cameras too?
I know the episodes are apparently a bit more envelope pushing than network TV, and the budget increased. Also, the episodes are a bit longer without network commanded commercial breaks. Maybe that includes additional cameras. I guess we’ll see.
I have noticed in the last two weeks they seem to use the words “bastard” and “son of a bitch” in just about every scene. I don’t think either of those were forbidden on NBC, but certainly used much less.
Then there was the joke Sarah made about Gwen blowing Xander’s bagpipes. I’m reasonably certain that one wouldn’t have made it past the NBC censor board.
So glad I never bought a subscription. I have not missed DOOL at all.
Peacock is a lot more than just DOOL. I’ve had it long before that decision was made. Although it made it much easier to watch DOOL on my time, including some of the previous year I missed when Peacock first started. I agree. If you get it just for a soap don’t bother. And this question is to Michael Fairman of Michael Fairman TV. Will you he covering Neighbours once the revamped series/soap starts on Amazon/Freevee specifically marketed for the U.S. and U.K.? Old episodes and the entire 2012 season drops this Thursday. Will you cover the new soap here later this year?

Al Calderon Reflects on ‘Major Chapters’ Coming to an End on ‘Days of Our Lives’ and ‘Brilliant Minds’
It’s been a bittersweet time for Al Calderon. The talented actor/singer/songwriter has watched from his vantage point to roles he loved so much come to their conclusion for different reasons.
In a heartfelt message posted to his Instagram story on Saturday, Calderon took a moment to share how grateful he was for the opportunity to play Javi Hernandez on Days of Our Lives, and nurse Nico Silva this year on NBC’s second season of Brilliant Minds. Currently, Brilliant Minds has two more episodes that will air on June 24 and the series finale on July 1.
Calderon expressed, “As I sit here reflecting on this lovely Saturday afternoon over the last two years of my life, I have two major chapters closing that have been part of my life every day for the last two years. We have Brilliant Minds. Our last episodes are wrapping up, and then my last scenes aired yesterday as me as Javi on Days of Our Lives.

“I’m just unbelievably grateful for the chance and the opportunity to be a part of something so much larger than me,” continued Al. “I (will) love Days of Our Lives forever, my family. Thank you for supporting me and supporting my decision to take the leap of faith and believe in myself and, and tell other stories. You know, it’s never goodbye. It’s always ‘see you later’ to me and just leaving with love and leading with love.”
Al concluded with a special mention to some very important people, the fans: “Thank you to the fans and the support from everyone, the lovely messages. So this next chapter, hopefully it’s not a dragon, hopefully it’s a gold coin.”

Calderon’s journey on-screen on Days of Our Lives began in October of 2024 and concluded this month. In one of his last appearances Javi was asking a favor from Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) before bumping into his ex, Leo (Greg Rikaart). In story, Javi has a new romance with Gus (Michael Ocampo), while fighting his feelings for Leo. The role of Javi will be played starting on June 30 by Jacob Martinez who takes over the role.
NBC decided to cancel the Brilliant Minds, after it split up the airing of its second season which began in the fall of September of 2025 and the back-half started airing after a long break this past May. Calderon joined the medical drama staring Zachary Quinto for the new season, which sadly was its last.
So, will you miss Al on Days of Our Lives and Brilliant Minds as his time on-screen has come to an end? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
Next week, Days of Our Lives welcomes back fan favorites Colton Little (Andrew Donovan) and Christopher Sean (Paul Narita) when they reprise their roles for an upcoming special episode which contains Deidre Hall’s 50th anniversary as Marlena Evans.
Circle Monday, June 22 when the married couple comes back to Salem. Paul is the son of Marlena’s beloved and late husband, John Black (Drake Hogestyn). Andrew is the son of iconic couple Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy) and Kimberly Brady (Patsy Pease).
According to the official Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of June 22-26, Andrew scolds Cat (AnnaLynne McCord). Let’s remember Andrew is ISA. Meanwhile while Marlena thinks back on her fifty years in Salem, Paul arrives back in town.

ANDREW AND PAUL
Christopher Sean began playing Paul Narita back in 2014. He has come and gone from the show over the last decade. He was last on-screen back in November of 2025, when Paul arrived back in Salem for the dedication of the Tom Horton Free Clinic as part of the Days of Our Lives 60th anniversary celebration.
Colton Little, first began playing the all grown-up Andrew Donovan in 2022 on the Peacock limited series, Beyond Salem: Chapter 2. Little eventually moved to the mothership and Days of Our Lives in 2023. He was last seen on the soap opera back in March of this year in scenes with Peter Porte (Dimitri Von Leuschner) and Greg Rikaart (Leo Stark).
In story, Andrew and Paul tied the knot in front of family and friends on June 24, 2025, which followed the heartbreaking funeral of Paul’s father, John Black, who had passed away several weeks earlier from injuries sustained in an explosion.

Michael Fairman TV also confirmed the romance exclusively of Colton Little with former General Hospital actor, Adrian Anchondo (ex-Marco Rios) at the end of December of 2025.
Anchondo shared at that time, “I reached out to him (Colton) when I got the job on GH. We knew of each other through mutual friends; so I knew of him for a long time. I started asking Colton about what his experience was like on soaps and asked about SAG health insurance, etc. We met up one night and were hooked from then on.”
So, are you excited to see Andrew and Paul back on your screens? Share your thoughts and if you would like to see them stay longer in Salem in the future, with a story all of their own via the comment section. But first, check out the just released promo for the action on Days of Our Lives entitled “Conspiracy” below featuring Christopher and Colton.

GH and DAYS Alum Brandon Barash and Wife Isabella Welcome Son ‘Sebastian’ Into the World
Congratulations are in order for General Hospital and Days of Our Lives favorite Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny and ex-Stefan/Jake, respectively) and his wife, Isabella Devoto Barash, who welcomed their newborn son, Sebastian Antonio Barash back on June 5.
For the first time his Sebastian’s birth the couple is posting and beaming with pride at the new addition to the family. This is Brandon and Isabella’s second child and second son together following the birth of Joaquin Lee Barash back in September of 2023. Barash is also the father of Harper Rose Barash from his previous marriage to General Hospital star, Kirsten Storms (Maxie) who is now 12-years-old and big sister to do younger brothers!
In his heartfelt post on Instagram accompanied by several photos of his growing family, Brandon expressed, “The heart is indeed a muscle, and boy, can it stretch. We welcomed our newest addition Sebastian Antonio Barash (Antonio after Isa’s dad) on 6.5.26. Lil Seba, I vow to love you with undying ferocity and without condition. As for our new family of five, we have all already evolved for the better as we rise like the lotus through the muck of sleepless nights, soul-tingling baby whimpers, and yes, poopy diapers. These babies teach us a clinic on love…all we need to do is saddle up, be still, and take em in. Isabella Barash, you’re my hero. Thank you for the gift of your love. House is full, hearts fuller.”

BRANDON’S BUDDIES CONGRATULATE HIM ON WELCOMING NEW SON
Several of Brandon’s former co-stars have already jumped in the commenting thread including, Rob Scott Wilson (Alex, DAYS) “Congrats my brotha!!,” Dan Feuerriegel (EJ, DAYD) and Eric Martsolf (Brady, DAYS), with whom Brandon appears with in the Day Players Band and more.
Back in April of this year, Brandon was granted an emergency restraining order against his ex-wife, Kirsten Storms claiming that the GH favorite was exhibiting concerning behavior and he feared for the well-being of their daughter, Harper. They each now live separate lives in Tennessee.
We send our well-wishes to Brandon, Isabella and their new son, Sebastian as they build their burgeoning family unit.
Take a look at Brandon and Isabella’s new little bundle of joy in the snaps below.
