Days of Our Lives spoilers and rumors tease Diana Colville, aka Diana Cooper (Judith Chapman) will soon return to Salem. In 2023, it was confirmed she’d return around April 2024, although that could drag out a little later to May; might she have answers for John Black (Drake Hogestyn)?

Now he cannot get the guilt out of his heart or his mind, and wanted to go to Greece and turn himself in-but Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) stopped him. Marlena is a staff psychiatrist but doesn’t want her involved in the case-she’s too close.

Who was The Pawn on Days of our Lives? That’s a question many fans are asking as a blast from the past keeps popping up on the hit Peacock show.
The Pawn has become one hot topic on Days since Konstantin (John Kapelos) was kidnapped by John (Drake Hogestyn) and Steve (Stephen Nichols).
During that incident, Konstantin saw something in John that reminded him this wasn’t the first time he met the Black Patch duo.
Since then, Konstantin has been dropping not-so-subtle hints to Steve about it, especially as Patch continues to try to force Konstantin away from Maggie (Suzanne Rogers).
Days of our Lives spoilers reveal Marlena (Deidre Hall) is worried about John, and she should be because his The Pawn problem isn’t going away.
This storyline is just starting, so it’s time for a refresher on The Pawn or, as many Days fans know,...

It was Suzanne Rogers' 50th anniversary with Days of Our Lives. Do you have a favorite Maggie storyline?
Monica: I remember watching Maggie and Victor's courtship a zillion years ago and finding it very sweet and realistic. I'm *not* old enough to have seen the storyline shown on Friday of Julie saving Maggie from an oven fire, but I sure wish I had!

2023 marks the 45th anniversary of the release of Jaws 2 (watch it Here), the most well-regarded of the Jaws sequels – and Universal is celebrating the occasion by giving the film a 4K Uhd release! The Jaws 2 4K Uhd will be available on July 4th, which seems like a fitting date since the first Jaws is a Fourth of July classic. Copies can be pre-ordered at This Link.
Directed by Jeannot Szwarc from a screenplay written by Carl Gottlieb and Howard Sackler, Jaws 2 has the following synopsis: It’s been four years since that marauding great white shark terrorized the small summer resort of Amity; but the shark that Police Chief Brody destroyed wasn’t the only one in the ocean! The same heart-stopping suspense and gripping adventure that enthralled movie audiences throughout the world in Jaws returns in this worthy sequel to that film classic.

If you're sick of the Colin story, hold on tight.
Things always get worse before they get better on Days of Our Lives, and as the net tightens around Colin, he'll make a desperate move involving one of our favorite power couples.
According to spoilers for Days of Our Lives during the week of 5-15-23, Colin will attack Abe and Paulina and try to get his version of justice by throwing Paulina off a rooftop!
The good news is that when Days villains get this desperate, it's usually a last-ditch effort to postpone the inevitable: their failure, which leads them off the canvas.
Will Colin be leaving Salem in cuffs or a body bag? We don't know yet, but soon he'll be gone.

2023 marks the 45th anniversary of the release of Jaws 2 (watch it Here), the most well-regarded of the Jaws sequels. So it seems quite appropriate that a cool Jaws 2 discovery had been made this year: The Daily Jaws has found a long-lost scene from the film, and the only known footage of this scene comes from a Brazilian VHS! This leads me to believe that the scene was probably always included in the Brazilian home video release of Jaws 2, but that’s not completely clear from the report on The Daily Jaws.
What we do know is that Jaws 2 begins with a pair of divers being attacked by a shark while checking out the sunken wreckage of the Orca boat from the first movie. Later in the film, Deputy Hendricks (Jeffrey Kramer) is shown to have retrieved the underwater camera that was dropped by the divers. In this lost footage,...

You didn't expect an easy reunion for Bo and Hope, did you?
Within minutes of Bo's return on Days of Our Lives during the week of 3-13-23, it was clear that something wasn't right. He didn't seem to know who Kayla was, acted like he was half out of it, and was fixated on getting back into the room where Megan had been knocked unconscious.
Kate should have known better than to listen to his story about locked doors, which didn't add up. Bo's been brainwashed, which is par for the course with Dimera resurrections, so he's temporarily on the wrong side and not to be trusted.
Telling this story now is risky, even though it's a throwback to over 40 years of classic Days stories. There have been so many recent resurrections, brainwashings, and amnesiacs thinking they're in love with their worst enemy that viewers might be burned out on these stories.

Sarah's never had good luck. Her first baby died, and she raised one that wasn't hers for a year before learning the truth.
After that, she was kidnapped and given drugs, turning her into a ghost that hated the Hortons.
She might have thought she got rid of her bad luck charm when she divorced Xander. But Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 2-27-23 say otherwise. On the same Salem day, Sarah will learn that her divorce never went through... and that she's pregnant!
Sarah's moved on with Rex, only to learn that someone at the courthouse lost her divorce papers, so she's still married to Xander.
This silly development can't be accidental, can it? Bonnie was eager to rip up those papers; what stopped her from interfering with their transmission to the court after Sarah foiled that plan?

Days of our Lives stars are sharing messages to fans as the NBC soap opera prepares to move to Peacock.
In August, NBC dropped the bombshell that after 57 seasons, the daytime drama would be leaving the network for streaming.
Executive producer Ken Corday later revealed the network had written the option into Days renewal contract in 2021 when the show was given a season 57 and 58.
Next week Days will officially call Peacock home, much to the dismay of many long-time viewers.
However, to help ease the pain, several fan favorites for the hit soap opera are sharing heartfelt messages to help ease the transitions and convince viewers to stick with the show.

When Orpheus returned to Salem a free man, it was only a matter of time before he started causing trouble.
Steve and John's wild goose chase was fun, but did Orpheus have to target the same old people for kidnapping?
Worse, no one besides Steve and John seemed to realize the women were gone after he again captured Kayla and Marlena on Days of Our Lives during the week of 8-22-22.
Back in the day, Orpheus was a formidable foe for "Roman" (really John) and Marlena, and with Joe Mascolo (Stefano) having passed away several years ago, Days of Our Lives needs a new supervillain.
But this particular plot falls far short of the mark.

Days of our Lives spoilers tease that having an open mind is the name of the game in Salem, but not everyone’s on the same page.
The hit NBC soap opera has plans to keep viewers entertained with a little cheeky interaction and a mad scientist meltdown.
While who killed Abigail (Marci Miller) remains the focus of the daytime drama, for now, Days also plans to kick things up a notch within a couple of other storylines.
One of those is Dr. Rolf (Richard Wharton) and his plan to bring Stefan (Brandon Barash) back.
The other has to do with the arrival of Alexander Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) in Salem, who is no doubt shaking things up.
Thanks to the latest video for the hit daytime drama, fans know more about what’s coming from those two storylines.

Exclusive: It’s an end of an era for Days of Our Lives. Kristian Alfonso, one of the daytime drama’s most recognizable and longest-tenured stars, is leaving the NBC series, which she first joined in 1983.
“I feel blessed and honored to have been invited into people’s homes for over three decades. However, it is now time for me to write my next chapter,” Alfonso said in a statement to Deadline.
As we reported on Friday, Days Of Our Lives plans to return to production on September 1.
“I will not be returning to Days when it resumes production in September,” Alfonso said. “I’ve already filmed my last episode several months ago.”
Like all other Hollywood productions, Days of Our Lives suspended shooting in mid-March because of the coronavirus pandemic. But the soap had traditionally been ahead of schedule and has enough originals in the can to take it through early October.

Brandon Barash was killed off of “Days of Our Lives” last October when his character, Stefan Dimera, was shot to death, prompting his wife Gabi (Camila Banus) to donate his heart to Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes), but despite literally being a heartless man, Stefan will return to Salem on April 23, and Barash sang a song to announce his resurrection. See his Instagram post below.

Barash took that seemingly lethal bullet to protect his mother Vivian Alamain (then played by Robin Strasser). Vivian had shot Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) and was cornered by Detective Lani Price (Sal Stowers), but when Lani tried to shoot Vivian, Stefan got in the way.
“The fans have spoken in the committee, life without Stefan has been quite sh**ty, so I made this little ditty, I’m coming back to Salem (city), if you miss this,...

What were our favorite surprises? Biggest disappointments? And who would we bring back from the dead (or the convent) if we could?
Our TV Fanatics Jack Ori and Christine Orlando are joined by Kayla and Andy from MyHourglass a Days of Our Lives fan forum to talk about all of that and more in this week’s round table…
There were lots of surprises with the one year time jump, which was your favorite?
Jack: This wasn't a surprise per se, but I love Ciara standing by Ben and working undercover to prove Victor was the one behind Jordan's murder.
Sarah letting Xander pretend to be the father of her baby was a great surprise in an otherwise annoying story. I'd hoped they'd do that in the first place!

If only doctors, lawyers, cops and crime bosses spring to mind when you think about daytime dramas, you haven’t been tuning in lately. From 20-somethings mesmerized by a charismatic cult leader, to a wannabe influencer using social media to sabotage her boyfriend’s marriage-of-convenience, to an undocumented immigrant, the offspring of some of the most popular character of the ’80s and ’90s are breathing new life into an aging genre and attracting new viewers along the way.
“If you look at our demographics, we’ve actually grown in the 18-25,” says Heather Tom, actress on “The Bold and the Beautiful” and five-time Emmy winner who landed her first daytime gig at age 15. “There’s a lot that daytime can speak to a younger generation with.”
That is, after all, why the Daytime Emmys include categories honoring “younger” actors and actresses, in addition to the more traditional lead and supporting categories.

Should “General Hospital” recast the presumed-dead Morgan Corinthos with a recent “Days of Our Lives” alum? There are no official reported plans to resurrect the character as of this writing, but a Twitter exchange prompted speculation about the possibility of Billy Flynn moving from Salem to Port Charles to pick up where Bryan Craig left off. What do you think? Scroll down to vote in our poll at the very bottom of this post.

He was portrayed by a few different child and teen actors over the years before he was rapidly aged into young adulthood with the casting of Craig in 2013. Craig stayed with the show until 2016, and ended up winning two Daytime Emmys for Best Younger Actor (2016-2017), thanks in large part...

For over 30 years, Stefano Dimera tormented Bradys and Hortons, played opera music between implementing diabolical plots, and obsessed over his "Queen of the Night" Marlena Evans.
He was suave, sophisticated, and evil, and fans adored him.
That's why there was so much excitement over the fact that actor Joe Mascolo had taped one last set of scenes prior to his death.
And it's why so many viewers feel like the show stabbed them in the back with the Friday reveal that Stefano hadn't escaped or even been locked up and that two more fan favorites could be added to the list of corrupt cops helping to cover up Hope's involvement in Stefano's murder.
This Prague storyline has been a waste of air time from the very beginning. For the past few weeks, we've had dubious Stefano sightings, top cops arguing about whether or not to stop for ice cream, and...

Days of Our Lives brought with it a sad day for fans yesterday. It was the very last time fans would ever see Joseph Mascolo as Stefano. After many years of staring on the show, he’s made his final appearance and bid his final farewells. Of course, this is the world of soap operas, so there is always a chance he might change his mind and come back at some point. For now, though, he’s retired from this role and won’t be back as Stefano. For Hope’s character, however, it means nothing but good things. He’s been placed in jail,

The reports of Days of Our Lives‘ cancellation may have been greatly exaggerated.
The long-running NBC daytime soap was rumored to be on the chopping block earlier this month after the network signed Fox News alum Megyn Kelly and offered her a daytime news program. But NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt cautioned soap fans that the fate of Days hasn’t been settled yet.
“We don’t make a decision for another couple months,” Greenblatt told TVLine at the Television Critics Association winter press tour on Wednesday. “But I don’t think it’s over yet.”

Days of Our Lives is back all new today and it’s going to bring change into the lives of many. The first change comes for Hope, who we know is going to be experiencing some major turmoil.

It was New Year’s Eve in Salem and before the ball dropped, Lani revealed she slept with Jj, Abigail hid her panic attack from Chad, and Shane came to town to share that Stefano could still be alive.
Our TV Fanatics Jack Ori and Christine Orlando are joined by Kathy from MyHourglass a Days of Our Lives fan forum to debate Jj and Gabi’s future, Abigail’s secrets, the Phoenix’s possible return, and who needs a new year’s resolution the most in Salem.
Do you want Gabi and Jj to get back together?
Kathy: No, they seem very mismatched. We haven't really been shown any shared likes, values or goals between the two.
Jack: No, no, a thousand times no. Gabi is incredibly abusive towards Jj, blames him for everything, won't take responsibility for her own behavior, and wants a relationship that's purely fun and doesn't require effort.
