COUNTDOWN TO AUGUST TEASER…AND 50TH ANNIVERSARY WEEK NEWS!
“Days” fans are getting closer and closer to the beginning of the storylines from the new head writers, featuring the returns of many fan favorites. Look for the changes to begin in late August!
For those who have missed the headlines over the past few months, here’s what “Days of Our Lives” fans can expect as the show nears its 50th anniversary in November. Molly Burnett’s (Melanie) six-month return comes to a close next week; Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe) makes a brief return; and Melissa Archer (Serena), Paul Telfer (Xander) and Freddie Smith (Sonny) say farewell.
Beginning in late August and continuing thereafter, the storylines from new head writers Dena Higley and Josh Griffith are set to begin. Judi Evans (Adrienne) and Wally Kurth (Justin) are back on contract for the first time since 1991. Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) is also back on contract, just in time to welcome new cast member James Lastovic, who makes his debut as the now-teenaged Joey Johnson (son of Steve & Kayla). Camila Banus returns for a longer stay as Gabi, who is released from prison. Alison Sweeney (Sami) has also confirmed her return for later in the year. Thaao Penghlis is back on contract as the thought-to-be-dead Andre, and what trouble will this dastardly DiMera be up to this time around? Soap vet A Martinez make his “Days” debut in a yet-to-be-revealed role, with connections to several people in Salem. Jason Cook returns after a 9-year absence as Bo & Hope’s son, Shawn Douglas Brady. And two of the most anticipated returns are set to happen around Labor Day: Stephen Nichols (Steve) and Peter Reckell (Bo) are back in action!
Look for additional casting announcements in the coming months.
Next week, “Days of Our Lives” will be taping the 50th anniversary week episodes, which will air the week of November 9 through November 13, 2015. Congratulations to the cast and crew of “Days” as they get ready to tape this momentous week of episodes and complete the taping of the first half century of over 12,700 episodes. Episode # 12714 will air on the show’s 50th anniversary, Monday, November 9.
and thank you for updating us on these fabulous vets who will be returning so far. I follow your posts and updates to your own site as well as another site I frequent in true lurking fashion only, and always read your posts with great anticipation. With DOOL taking somewhat of a hit in ratings for a while now, I also feel excited with the new writing team in place and look forward to the Higley/Griffith sls to begin airing in August. I also know you don’t like to give away TMI too soon, but I can’t help but wonder that, since they are SORASing Joey Johnson as well as Claire Brady to teens, don’t you think it will be somewhat strange not to do the same with Theo, Ciara and Chase, although I can’t help but feel sad to even think of losing Lauren Boles. In any case, your hard work and the updates that you are willing to share are greatly appreciated. Thanks for being the very best at what you do for soap fans everywhere.
