Monday’s episode of Days of our Lives brought with it Daytime Emmy winner Vincent Irizarry, who made his highly-anticipated on-screen debut as Deimos, the brother of Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston)!
In his first scenes, Victor armed with a gun confronts his brother who has gotten inside the Kiriakis mansion. As the dialog plays out, viewers learn that Deimos has been in prison for years, and that he somehow managed to work a deal for his freedom. Clearly, Victor is rattled to see his younger brother again, who he wished would have remained locked up in the slammer.
When Victor questions Deimos as to what he wants, and why he came to see him in Salem, Deimos reveals he needs a job. There is also clearly some underlying blackmail, or not yet revealed secret between the brothers from their past that is also at play here.
When Phillip (John-Paul Lavoisier) happens upon the scene, he acts stunned to learn that Victor has a brother. Deimos leaves the mansion with Victor never hoping to see him again. Meanwhile, Caroline (Peggy Mcay) tells Justin (Wally Kurth) she has had visions of something terrible happening to Victor. She also thinks it will be related to a man named “Damian”.
At the end of the episode, DAYS fan witnessed a huge double-cross as Phillip and Deimos met up at the park bench. Clearly, they are working together! It looks like they just might have a major plot to bring down Victor, once and for all.
So, what were your first impressions of the new bad guy in town, Deimos? Glad to see Vincent Irizarry finally make his DAYS debut? What do you think Phillip and Deimos’ plan will be? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!

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

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
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
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.

I loved it!!! It was like me having ice cream on Sunday…it was a great episode and great debut
He seemed more like a Dimera or a GH Cassidine…i see him as the future anti-hero Victor type once JA leaves as Victor one day…i see him getting into fights with Brady and Philip…i see him paired with Nicole.
Great idea about him with Nicole. I have been worried to death about her, ha. I thought maybe she would get with Finn but that might be too close to Daniel. It was creepy when Brady dreamed about her the other day, huh? And she & Eric can never go back. This guy would be great. I think he’s a good addition.
What an incredible addition to the cast. He is a first rate actor – always enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to the development of this character.
Can these writers be trusted to actually “develop” a character?
Vincent welcome back to Daytime, I watched Days yesterday. Vincent is a wonderful actor, and looks terrific for 56 years old. still sexy as ever. The man never ages.
this is going to be another shnooze fest……first off, Victor has been on for 100 years and now all of a sudden he has a way younger brother that’s been in jail….Phillip is sooo boring and him and Belle have no chemistry whatsoever….the one good thing about the show was Ben, the serial killer and he’s gone….ever since, Days has fallen flat….maybe they can bring back Ben with a storyline from the series Making a Murderer and he can be falsely accused on DNA and get off, then go on another killing spree and wipe out the teens that cannot act, with the exception of Joey Johnson, and maybe take out all these faux Kiriakiases…..and don’t get me started on the whole Hope debacle storyline….poor Kristian Alfonso……John’s parentage…who cares? Eve being let go, HUGE mistake…..only good thing so far was Ava knocking the hell out of Saint Kayla with the candlestick, in the library..oh wait, that’s the game CLUE….hahaha…really wish TPTB would listen to viewers and update the sets and update the filming schedules and only film three weeks to six weeks out…..and stop it already with all the DEATHS AND DEPRESSING Stoylines…….thanks for reading…
And thanks for an annoying rant lol just go with it and enjoy we still have to get to September and a new nbc contract just to give people like you a keyboard work out
But Scott, how do you really feel? I sense you’re holding back. LOL.
DROOL continues to saddle good and great actors with No Win storylines. Regardless of whether you liked Melissa Archer or not, no one could animate that stupid elephant storyline. Kassie/Eve was brought on to give Jennifer a rival. That had zero reason to tune in. Hope is stuck with a dismal storyline. And as if the last twenty years of Who Is John Black wasn’t riveting enough, we’re going through it one more time.
I see the revolving Sean Brady casting continues. (Spin the wheel, Beemers turn!)
VI is a remarkable actor. I hope they don’t mess this up. I was so excited to see him paired with JP. (Sadly, they immediately pivoted to the Belle Sean Philip triangle. Again. Like John Black parentage… been there, done that.)
Please, Soap Gawd, don’t let them mess up VI with another elephant storyline.
Hi, Scott.
Why do you find the great age difference between siblings so far fetched? Look at Hugh Hefnerer. There is half a century of years separating his first and last child. Later.
What about the age difference between Andre and Chad…no one brought that up?
@jimh. That’s right, Jimmy! Duh….didn’t see what is right in front of my nose. Lol.
With exception to letting Kassie go, I agree with everything else. Hope they dont pair Vincent with Nicole; already tired of her telling and crying. Really, there are more emotions! Never liked Nicole. Everything else you say is accurate!
Why are you wasting your time watching this show?
I don’t feel I’m wasting my time, just disappointed right now with the way the stories are being told. I grew up with Grandma H and her donuts….Dr. Tom, the Horton’s hanging of the Xmas balls…..it’s like a tradition and they are part of my family. Just think the show needs to relax on the killings and departures and stop bringing in new characters when you haven’t fleshed out the ones that were introduced a year ago……where’s Paul’s “boyfriend”…is he not gay anymore? Why has he not called to check on Sonny…why did Bo die and be buried in practically one episode, but Daniel “died” and has been mourned over for weeks now….Bo was here for 30 years…..can Nicole not be on here own for a month???? Maybe her and Chole will become lesbian lovers/mothers and raise Parker….course, i’m sure with that statement i’ve probably offended someone somehwere…hahaha….and please, NBC, just develop a 30 minute show drama-wise, that’s doesnt include a panel sitting around discussing nothing…. Bold and Beautiful seems to do well why not another 30 minute show??.
Great start. Would love him paired with Nicole. Imagine what naughtiness they would create!
Nicole deserves a new love interest and he would be great for her!
Good get for DAYS!
He was great as Dr. David Hayward on ALL MY CHILDREN, the show that should have never gotten the axe and deserved better than an ill fated attempt as an On-line presentation.
At any rate, yes, will be glad to see him as a cast member of the classic DAYS OF OUR LIVES and sparring with Jon Aniston.
Vincent Irizzary is one of those actors who immediately steals the screen. You can’t take your eyes off of him because he’s so interesting and has such a strong presence. He’s a great addition to the cast, and the backstory between Victor and Deimos looks like it’s going to be great. I’m very excited to see how this plays out.
I just hope Deimos will stick around for a while and not be killed off or written out at the end of this story. Vincent definitely has the power to be a leading man on the show, especially if John Aniston is retiring soon. An advantage he has is that Deimos is a Kiriakis, meaning that he already has ties to one of the show’s core families. Unlike previous villains like Clyde Weston and Ian McAllister, Deimos will hopefully have more of an impact and stick around for years to come.
One thing that amused me though, is that John Aniston and Vincent Irizzary are 25 years apart in age, and are brothers. To me, it seemed like Deimos could be Victor’s son! Deimos certainly looks closer in age to Philip than he does Victor.
Speaking of Philip, I’m not sure that I like him being involved in whatever plan Deimos has for Victor. If this turns Philip into a villain, it won’t work. I hope they don’t trash the character of Philip for the sake of this story.
DITTO.. I agree with everything you said…. Days needs a younger villian… So many of the older verterans on the show are 60s-80s year olds.. Great actors, but Days has not done a good job in the past getting younger villians.. Now we know that Ava will be gone.. now that she has kidnapped Kayla… great writing and Days has been rockin it!!
Andre and Chad are brothers too and like forty years apart in age.
PLEASE ! PLEASE ! PLEASE !
stop ; with all the responses; her should be paired with Nicole !!!! really?
inasmuch as I like Arianna Zucker ! I now consider her to be ole days… and yes, I’ve posted that she’s had a rebirth of sorts… with Daniel and Eric gone…
but really ??? ready to latch her on to… the best male lead in daytime
I hope not
meh !!!!! perhaps… if they must…. let him have his fling ! hopefully… as was posted… Nicole will be pregnant with Daniel baby… so that lets us all off the hook
I am clearly waiting for Alla Korot… as Janet to ignite with Deimos Kiriakis
DAYS ! hire Kassie DePaiva
Vincent Irizarry needs a top draw high tiered actress
Nicole is so passe… and yes I want more for her
ahha!
Days gets ”Vincent Irizarry” and GH gets Genie Frances, sigh ..
WTG DOOL !! (Lucky for Days!!!
And B&B gets the “Giligan’s Island” actress, LOL!
but it is only a 3 hour gig….a three hour gig.
Days gain, GH’s pain…especially since we were losing Dr. Patrick Drake.
Ahh, Vincent! How I have missed you, you gorgeous man, you!! You bring the devil with you wherever you go. I am breathlessly anticipating anything this profoundly and infinitely perfect thespian brings to Salem.
Food for thought….and this is directed to 4ever: could Phillip really be Deimos’ son? They are obviously working together to overrun Titan Industries toward a takeover….so, why would Phillip go against his own father. I never realized he was a baddie. Awwww. I feel so badly for Victor. I love his Teddy Bear look!!
I love John Paul, too…as all of my OLTL cast, but, I must confess, I am not digesting him in this role.
Philip was created in a petri dish. Victor and Kate’s plan was for Kate to carry their child, but Vivian had other plans and became pregnant with Philip…You never know what could have transpired in the lab! I wonder how many cc’s were in the petri dish, CeeCee?! lol
Tee-hee! You are such a wicked dood, 4ever….I love it…so clever.
I didn’t know the circumstances surrounding Phillip’s conception and birth. Thanks. And, thank you for making me chuckle. Later.
“…You bring the devil with you wherever you go. ”
classic line… perfect for Vincent Irizarry
here’s DAYS new Villain… perhaps he can align with Andre…
I hope he’s on for the long haul…. and it’s JPL that takes the fall
too funny about @4ever’ Phillip… I had forgotten that petri dish
ie: I have hope that Deimos son is Xander… talk about sophistication and upping the ante on class acts…. major talents…. male leads big time
Xander is too old to be Deimos’ son. Plus, Xander is in prison. I do think it was a mistake getting rid of Xander.
What Cee Cee said.
Vincent is an amazing actor who cannot bore you even when he eats oatmeal.
I just don’t have the time to watch Days but would re consider giving up either GH or Y&R and replace the 2 aforementioned with Days if the 2 aforementioned continue to disappoint me.
Vincent is worth it–he’s positively golden.
Hey, Patrick,
….Glad you liked my line…lol…thanks!!
It is possible for Xander to be Deimos’ son. I man is able to reproduce at 18 years of age. So, it is plausible.
There’s a storyline right there. Perhaps Deimos impregnated a very young girl snd abandoned her….Xander’s mother. Would not put it past Deimos. Like father like son. Xander could definitely be brought back…..wow…what a juicy story that would make!
Vivian went to the same fertility place as Kate and Victor, pretending she was going to have a baby with Ivan, but had Victor and Kate’s embryo implanted in her. Good times.
Thanks, Mo.
After only seeing Vincent as Lujack & Nick Henry on GL, (both characters absolutely LOVED!) was a bit disconcerting to see him being “the bad guy”. But, he certainly has charisma galore, definitely the acting chops, so looking forward to what comes next.
Just what did Victor do to frame Deimos into getting life in prison. What did Deimos do to get him out after 30 years. And while Deimos was said to me 20 at the time he bedded Victor’s fiancee’, just how hold was Victor then? 40? 30? 35?
I mean, Caroline has said she was in high school with victor & shawn, until Victor went to Greece. So she married Shawn. Victor is now telling Maggie that after Helena died, Deimos in prison, he came to America. and yet….hmmm, when was it Victor had the affair with Isabella Toscano’s mother…in Italy??
And then…….if Deimos was 20, and it was 30 years ago, he is 50 now. So….hmmm, that seems a bit younger than Bo! When was the affair with Caroline? LOL
Absolutely wonderful. I am really liking Days! I am hooked! Vincent just captures your attention. I hope he gets plenty of screen time. Michael Knight needs more screen time on Y&R!
THIS MAN IS GREAT NO MATTER WHAT SHOW HE IS ON OR WHAT PART HE PLAYS…WILL HAVE TO TUNE IN NOW…..
I liked Vincent on AMC so I hope he does a good job on DAYS. One question I’ve always had it why does DAYS film 6 months in advance and has this always been the caae.
Even though I did not see all of his scenes, he is a talented actor, and could be an interesting addition to the show. Like what others say about pairing Nicole with him. Two strong actors could make for a dynamic presence. Like that Days is trying to shake it up to find good chemistry between actors, and better storylines.
I really liked Vincent Irizarry on Guiding Light when he was Lujack and the long-lost twin brother, Nick. Nick and Mindy (Kimberly Simms’ version) were HOT!!!!
Phillip is working for … ??? Deimos Kiriakis !
LOL
hey… as long as Deimos doesn’t take the fall if Salem finds this out!
JPL’ Phillip is not that endearing of a character any way
Caroline sure read Justin the riot act, didn’t she tho? at least she’s talking about them and not sweeping them under the rug
gawd! on Monday’s ep: Kassie DePaiva did more in those two scenes… then all of DAYS cast ever
1. when she asked Justin … where … if at all … was their relationship going
2. when she pulled out that picture coloring from Paige as a child
it just smarts… and is a painful reminder how huge a mistake Ken Corday is responsible
a reminder that February 2, 2016 is fast approaching
whatever will Rafe, Eduardo, Justin, and now Deimos do with their lives?
I think VI has another winning character in Deimos! We left him alone today brooding into his coffee, so I wonder if he’ll meet a like-troubled woman the next time we see him?
He seems like he might be a little slimy which is why I think it is going to be a lot of fun watching Vincent in this role. Hopefully we’ll see some bad to him as well as some good so he can be redeemed at times but not all the way because we all love a baddie on our soaps.
I was interested until I realized it’s all about that boring stupid serum.
Don’t like that Philip is working against his father.
A jet could fly through the holes in the backstory created for Deimos. However, ill go along with it because the end result is a good actor joining the cast. Let’s hope the writers don’t waste him as they have with other ABC refugees.
Hmmm. Did Deimos kidnap Bo? Did Stefano get murdered for the wrong reason? By the way, I’m not sure we’ve seen the last of Stefano — even if it’s his ghost or spirit haunting someone.
I think they must be writing the script 5 minutes before the show airs.
I think DOOL has done a good job of recovering from losing several key players, Billy Flynn and Vincent are great.
I can’t wait for Judi Evans (Adrienne) to walk in and make eye contact with Vincent Irizarry! That perfect soap opera chemistry from the good ole days! (Sad, I know, she’s no longer on contract) .
I have watched Vincent Irizarry for 32 [it will be 33 in November] years & I have followed his career, from GUIDING LIGHT to MARIE [where he played Sissy Spacek’s abusive lout of a husband] to HEARTBREAK RIDGE with Clint Eastwood & Mario Van Peebles to SANTA BARBARA and back to GUIDING LIGHT [where Vincent had played My Beloved Brandon “Lujack” Luvoneczek from Nov 1983 to December 2, 1985, the day that Lujack died on-screen due to pervasive internal bleeding; it was 5 years/7 months/3 days later, Vincent returned to GUIDING LIGHT to portray Lujack’s as-yet-unknown twin brother, ace-reporter-with-a-ponytail, Nick McHenry, who arrived in Springfield on July 5, 1991 and departed [very much alive, thank God] with his HIV-afflicted wife, Susan, in 1996. Vincent then guested on ALL MY CHILDREN in Summer 1997 before becoming a contract player in November 1997, portraying cardiologist Dr. David Hayward until AMC’s cancellation in 2011 [having been fired by the AMC execs for two years during his 9-year David Hayward run, Vincent joined YOUNG & RESTLESS for two years as David Chow, a mystery man whose back story was never explored during the two years Mr. Chow was in Genoa City] on ABC-TV. Vincent joined Prospect Park Productions when ALL MY CHILDREN, cancelled by ABC in 2009, moved to the Internet, lasting from 2011 to 2013 [correct me if I’m wrong] & he is now on DAYS OF OUR LIVES as Deimos Kiriakis, the younger brother of Victor Kiriakis. Vincent is as beautiful as ever & I can’t wait to see if Deimos & Adrienne Johnson Kiriakis [played by Judi Evans, who played GUIDING LIGHT’s Beth Raines, who was Lujack’s beloved girlfriend, for 18 of the 25 months Vincent captivated Springfield during his Emmy-nominated Lujack tenure] will have scenes together. Perhaps Vincent will win another Best Supporting Actor Emmy [he finally won an Emmy in 2009 while portraying AMC’s David Hayward–although he won the Emmy of My Heart long ago…
