Days Of Our Lives- Daytime Soap Operas- News, polls, previews

In daytime drama, many couples are each other’s OTPs. Those duos include Victor (Eric Braeden) and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) on The Young and the Restless. Patch (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) on Days of Our Lives, and General Hospital‘s Sonny (Maurice Benard) and…well, actually, this one can vary, although many fans say that the mobster’s OTP is either Carly (Laura Wright), the seldom-seen Brenda (Vanessa Marcil), or even Nina (Cynthia Watros).

Swooon chatted with some daytime actors on the red carpet at The 52nd Annual Daytime Emmys to get their thoughts on who their onscreen greatest love is! Read on to get romantic musings from Scott Clifton (Liam, The Bold and the Beautiful), Days of Our Lives actors Robert Scott Wilson (Alexander) and Abigail Klein (Stephanie), and Y&R’s Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea), Sharon Case (Sharon), and Courtney Hope (Sally).

“Himself, clearly!” quipped Clifton, who has vacillated over the years between Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Hope (Annika Noelle), and let’s not forget about his romance with Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer).

“Every time that I try to answer that question, either in an interview or for myself, I recall a conversation I had with Mr. [Brad] Bell [B&B’s executive producer/head writer]. I asked him, ‘Is the endgame Hope or Steffy?’ He smiled and said, ‘There is no endgame! It goes on and on forever.’ So, that’s what we do! If you think about characters as magnetic poles, you’re going to have characters, like Ridge [Thorsten Kaye] and Brooke [Katherine Kelly Lang], who always get pulled back together.” That’s happening now with Hope and Liam. “But that doesn’t mean that those characters can’t find happiness or be in healthy relationships with other people, other characters.”

This would be the $200 question on Jeopardy! if Y&R romance was a category. “It’s Nicholas, of course!” Case told Swooon. Three years after the star-crossed teens met, they were married and had welcomed their first child, a son, Noah (Lucas Adams). The couple survived many adversities, but their daughter Cassie’s (Camryn Grimes) death in 2005 ended their marriage. The two have reunited many times over the year, but they haven’t been able to make it last – yet. Last summer, the couple shared a kiss in France when Nick was gravely injured. Currently, they’re reliving a nightmare as Noah’s been in a car accident in Los Angeles.

“Everyone loved Nick and Sharon’s love story,” Case said. “And they’re still on that journey. We’re still living it. The story hasn’t ended. We’re looking for the next day, the next chapter. Everyone wants to know what will happen ‘in the end,’ but there is no end. We enjoy the ride.”

“I think about this often,” Hope said, who began her career as Y&R’s Sally on sister soap B&B, where she was involved with Thomas (then, Pierson Fodé), Wyatt (Darin Brooks), and, briefly, Liam (Clifton). When she moved to Genoa City, she began dating again and is currently involved with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), a man who is sometimes his own worst enemy.

“Each man in her life has meant so much to her,” Hope continued. “Wyatt was her greatest love when they were involved. There was Nick [Joshua Morrow], and Adam [Mark Grossman] was her great love. Now, something is developing with Billy that I don’t think she’s ever experienced before. He’s got elements of [many of the other men] in Sally’s life. There was Thomas, too. He was Sally’s first love. She had come to Los Angeles and was all, ‘I don’t need a man! I’m here to work.’ Then, Thomas came along. He set the bar.”

Alexander and Stephanie’s respective portrayers said that the other is their character’s great love. “They say you can meet the right person at the wrong time, and the wrong person at the right time,” Klein mused. “But I think Alex is the right person at the right time.” Wilson agreed. “I would have to say Alex’s great love is Stephanie. She’s been his main squeeze ever since he laid eyes on her, and he’s trying to do right by her,” he said.

The couple’s relationship stands to be complicated by the return of Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark). Sure, he’s a fifth grade school teacher now, but 18 years ago when he was last on the show, Jeremy (then played by Trevor Donovan), held Stephanie’s head under water in a hot tub after being unable to tell her that he loved her. (Dude, try saying it with flowers next time if you can’t find the words!) Klein wasn’t playing Abigail back then, but she has incorporated that terrifying moment into her performances. “That scene was disturbing,” she said. “Fans remember all that.”

“I love all of them!” Egan declared, who has seen her con artist character, Chelsea Lawson, have romances with Billy, Nick, and Adam since coming to Genoa City. Despite her past, or perhaps because of it, Adam and Chelsea understood and accepted each other for who they were early on.

Easygoing Nick brought something truly special to Chelsea’s life – zero drama. Alas, she walked away from Nick after a desire to play a con got the better of her. Later, Billy literally saved her life when she contemplated suicide. The duo split after she gave into her passion for Adam.

“Obviously, the ‘Chadam’ (Chelsea and Adam’s ‘smush’ name) thing is a big deal,” Egan said with a smile. “They both came in as being the outcasts and people not understanding them. That truly bonded them from the beginning. She’s been very lucky. Adam’s always been her ride or die.”

Jane Elliot Reflects on 60 Years in Soaps and Life on ‘GH’ at 78: ‘I’m a Failed Retiree!’

Just moments after receiving the honor, Elliot talks to Woman’s World about what it feels like to have somehow grown into the role of General Hospital matriarch—not to mention, in the wake of the passing of Leslie Charleson and her character Monica, how it feels to be the last one standing.

Plus, Elliott admits to one major failure (her retirement!) and we have the 52nd Annual Daytime Emmys soap opera winners’ list.

“Lovely Jane Elliot” was first introduced on the big screen in Elvis Presley’s last film, 1969’s Change of Habit with Mary Tyler Moore and Barbara McNair. But the beauty who also appeared on The Mod Squad, Kojak, and Law and Order, not to mention soapy Knots Landing and Broadway’s The Impossible Years, had already made her first mark on the soap scene by then.

Since her breakout soap role on A Flame in the Wind in 1965, Elliot has caused drama on Guiding Light, All My Children, Days of Our Lives and Loving—and this weekend, she was honored by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) for her incredible work on General Hospital’s Tracy Quartermaine, which started back in 1978 and included a stint on The City.

“I started in daytime 60 years ago, and as a woman of 78 years old and a female actor, I’m blessed,” says Elliot. “First of all, there are very very few us who are gainfully employed full-time as an actor, and I’m one of them.

“It is such a privilege and honor to get to do what I do and keep doing it, that what I do is still wanted and still appreciated, and that they still keep giving me good work to do,” she continues. “I consider myself a really, really lucky woman.”

As longtime General Hospital viewers know, Elliot officially announced her retirement back in 2017.

“I’m a failed retiree,” she cracks with a grin. “I thought I needed a break. I was a single parent. I raised two children on my own, and I raised them exclusively on acting money. I no longer had children to raise, and I was 70. I had my pension and my Social Security. I thought, ‘Oh, yay. I don’t need this job anymore. I can retire.’”

Two years later, she quietly slipped back into Tracy’s bossy, wise-cracking shoes.

“It wasn’t what I thought it would be,” she admits. “I was like, ‘But wait, I really like that job! And whether I need the money or not, I want to keep doing it,’” she recounts. “I luckily had a wonderful boss who kept a place at the table for me and didn’t replace me. Didn’t hire someone else to play the part.”

“There are a lot of wonderful actors out there that would bring something new to it,” Ellliot insists. “They couldn’t do me, but they could do that.”

With one of Elliot’s first storylines leading to the unforgettable scene where she withholds her father Edward’s heart medicine, the seven-times-hitched Tracy Q has made some truly detestable moves over the decades.

Since her return, she’s remained formidable. Just ask Cameron Mathison’s Drew and Michael E. Knight’s Martin Grey.

Yet even as Tracy’s remained tough, since running off with Anthony Geary’s Luke and then losing him, she’s also softened enough to become a wizened, loving head of family—and not just to Wally Kurth’s Ned and Amanda Setton’s Brook Lynn. By the time Leslie Charleson’s Monica Q passed last month, Tracy had even become her almost lifelong nemesis’ fiercest protector!

“People say to me on the show, ‘You’re the matriarch of the Quartermaine family.’ And I go, ‘Who are you talking about?’” Elliot admits with a laugh. “I still haven’t taken it on board.”

While it’s hard to believe she’s all grown up, after 60 years in daytime and almost five decades on General Hospital, this soap opera diva who once worked alongside Elvis—not to mention onscreen family John Ingle, Anna Lee, and Stuart Damon, Leslie Charleson, and Jacklyn Zeman—can’t ignore her place.

“I look around and I realize that at this stage of the game, I’m the oldest actor on the show,” Elliot tells Woman’s World. “There are all these photographs on the set of the characters on the show, and they’ve all passed away, and I’m still standing.

“It’s daunting, it’s overwhelming,” the NATAS Gold Circle honoree admits. “It makes me sad sometimes, and it makes me enormously grateful and proud.”

General Hospital’s Kirsten Storms (Maxie) Reveals New Health Battle, Will Undergo Brain Surgery

Stoms’s post came on the heels of her announcement that she and real-life best friend, former co-star and fellow knitting and crocheting aficianado Emme Rylan (ex-Lulu) had begun a new business venture, Kirsten and Emme, where they sell crocheted sweaters that they’ve designed together. She paid homage to Rylan as she disclosed that she is scheduled to undergo brain surgery in the coming weeks. Back in 2021, Storms underwent an operation called a craniotomy to drain and remove noncancerous cysts on her brain.

“Fun fact (not really ‘fun,’ but Emme and I like to find humor in uncomfortable situations…)” Storms’s post began. “In January (2025), I had a new scan done of my brain. After my surgery in 2021, my *amazing* neurosurgeon (who ‘humors’ the jokes I make during my appointments — which is okay because he’s very smart) has been monitoring the cyst that he left on my brain, when he removed one that was causing me problems. The January scan happened because I had symptoms that the doctors thought could’ve been brain-related. OK — when I say that I was shocked when the doctors told me they found an aneurysm on the right side of my brain… welp, I basically launched into a standup comedy routine.

“I had a procedure done that weekend, where the doctor thread a camera from my leg up to my brain,” she continued. “(It’s a routine procedure, but the path inside your body that they lead the camera through is *insane*… THE CAMERA GOES THROUGH YOUR ARMPIT, guys. Your. Armpit.) Anyway, because of the *slightly* complex situation with the aneurysm (nothing bad, just not typical), it wasn’t coiled that weekend. I checked in with my super smart surgeon, completed my next few months at work, started my hiatus, and left California. Did you guys know that Emme was by my side every single day during my 2021 craniotomy and hospital recovery? I remember waking up in the ICU right after my procedure, and the first thing she said was ‘How are you?? DO YOU STILL LOVE YARN?’ My neurosurgeon did give a chuckle to that joke. Anyway, Neurology stuff makes me feel a bit of nervousness, so now—here I am with Emme, in St Louis. And we are crocheting the most beautiful sweaters, while my coiling procedure is being scheduled for sometime in the next 2 weeks.”

The actress further opened up about how her health issues connected with her decision to relocate to Tennessee and take a break from her role as Maxie, which she has played since 2005.

“Emotional support, when going through times in life that cause worry, is crucial,” Storms shared. “Aneurysms (obviously) can be caused by stress. Brain cysts? I believe that is possible too…. and since the January scan showed a new, but very small, squatter (aka cyst) on my brain stem — it was clear I needed to change some things in my life asap. For my own personal reasons, no longer living in Los Angeles was very important to me. The biggest reason for the move was Harper, but a lot of it was for my physical and mental health. And my overall happiness.”

Storms went on to pay tribute both to the healing properties of crocheting and to Rylan for her steadfast support. She wrote, “Did you know (if you’re still reading this egregiously long post) that even though crocheting isn’t ‘technically’ a cognitive behavioral therapy exercise, it hits all of the requirements CBT exercises do? It’s meditative, your hands and brain are focusing on the same task, therefore it distracts you from feelings of stress or anxiety, and completing a project feels rewarding. This sweater collaboration with my best friend, who is as obsessed with yarn as I am and constantly shows me that she always has my back… it kinda feels like we were meant to do this,” she mused. “Emme, this will definitely make you so uncomfortable that you’re going to comment below with something funny, but creating these sweaters with you has been so much fun. I love you. You’re my ‘ride or die, but no ride to the airport.’ And (hypothetically) I will totally (HYPOTHETICALLY) be by your side, keying the cars of all the boys who would be stupid enough to mess with our daughters.”

In the caption introducing her carousel of text posts, Storms explained, “I wanted to post this because even though my brain seems to be sorta lowkey rebelling against me, it does allow me to understand that we’ve all got times when things aren’t great. If we can, we will do our best to do what is best for ourselves and loved ones. Since I knew what an aneurysm was, the scan in January majorly freaked me out. A few days after I was discharged from the hospital, someone created a blog post that said I was in the hospital that weekend because I tried to ‘unalive’ myself. I couldn’t understand why a person would make up something that terrible when they had no idea why I was really there. There are a few really bad apples out there. We all know that… but there are people in my life who I am truly thankful to know. One of those individuals just made a sh*t load of sweaters with me. They are glorious.”

After her brain surgery in 2021, Storms likewise used Instagram to update fans on her medical condition. On June 4, mere days after undergoing brain surgery, she recorded a video — with Rylan by her side — in which she revealed, “I’ve not really spoken about this much, or at all, actually; less than 48 hours ago, I had brain surgery, hence the neck brace. It was on the lower portion of my brain.”

She elaborated, “What they had to drain and remove was not cancer; I want to clarify that right now before the Internet, like, goes crazy wild with rumors about this. I had a very large cyst that had split into two and the doctor said it was, like, so full, the pressure was very noticeable when they opened up my skull.”

On June 6, 2021, the actress returned to Instagram with a longer account of the circumstances that led up to her operation. “Little bit of info for those who are wondering… I spent the last few years having random health issues that I disregarded as side [effects] to my medications or just something I was experiencing due to age. When I went to get an MRI for some severe neck pain I have been experiencing for the last few months (I assumed this neck pain was also causing my frequent ‘migraines’) my amazingly thorough orthopedist ordered an MRI of my head just to be on the ‘safe side’ — even though that isn’t his area of expertise. Truly a great doctor. That’s when we stumbled upon a rather large, very full of fluid, cyst that was attached to the lower portion of brain.”

Noted Storms, “I feel very fortunate that my situation wasn’t more serious and that I had a wonderful neurosurgeon who immediately knew how to fix it. I’m not gonna lie, brain surgery had me nervous, but I’m immensely thankful to my family, friends, and incredible ‘work family’ who have been supportive, kind and loving during a time when I’ve been feeling a lot of emotions. Work is a great place to be every day and for the 2 months leading up to my surgery I found a lot of comfort being around the people I’ve worked beside for so many years. I’m excited to get back to it after my recovery.”

As for her current absence from the show, it is somewhat open-ended. In July, she explained on Instagram that in March, she’d met with Executive Producer Frank Valentini “about my reasons for wanting to move — and my desire to not leave the show.” She marveled, “Now, when you approach a job like this, they can always be like, ‘Forget it. I will let you out of your contract if you’re going to leave the state.’ GH did not do that — which was kind of amazing because I also asked for some time off.”

To accommodate Storms’s break, the show scripted a heartbreaking turn for Maxie: She collapsed after Sidwell deliberately poisoned Deception’s new night cream and soon wound up in a coma. Her loved ones heeded Lucas’s advice and had her moved to Boston for treatment. “I promise you the storyline they have going on until my return to Port Charles is kind of incredible — you guys are gonna freak out, actually,” the actress predicted in her June message. Fans got a sense of what she was referring to in August, when it was announced that Storms’s former leading man, Ryan Paevey, whose Nathan was married to Maxie at the time of his seeming demise in 2018, was returning to the show. He began airing again in September.

Soapy Extra 2 | Stars Reveal the Stories Behind Joining Soaps

‘Days of Our Lives’ star reaches settlement over allegations of sexual harassment

Notice of the settlement was filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. No further details about the settlement were included. Zucker’s attorney could not be immediately reached for comment.

Zucker had starred on “Days of Our Lives” since 1998, playing the character Nicole Walker. In her February 2024 lawsuit, she alleged that now-former executive producer Albert Alarr subjected her and other employees to “severe and pervasive harassment and discrimination, including sexual harassment, based upon their female gender.”

Zucker claimed that Alarr would grab and hug her, “purposely pushing her breasts onto his chest” while moaning sexually, according to the lawsuit. She also alleged that he would make “sexually charged comments” to her.

“Our client continues to deny the allegations set forth in the complaint,” Alarr’s attorney, Robert Barta, said in a statement. “However, in order to bring the litigation to the end, he has agreed to settle. This decision was made solely to end the dispute and move forward.”

Zucker’s lawsuit also named Corday Productions, which oversees the show, and its owner, Ken Corday, as defendants in the lawsuit, alleging retaliation. Zucker alleged that her pay was decreased and her travel stipend revoked after she voiced concerns. In June 2023, she said her character was written off the show after 20 years.

Several months later, Corday Productions offered to renew Zucker’s contract but allegedly did not negotiate with her representatives for higher pay, the lawsuit said.

Attorneys for Corday and Corday Productions did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Corday Productions previously told The Times in a statement that Zucker’s claims “are without merit” and that she was offered a pay increase upon an offer to renew her contract. The company said at the time that complaints about Alarr’s on-set behavior were “promptly investigated” and the company “fully cooperated with the impartial investigation and subsequently terminated Mr. Alarr.”

“Days of Our Lives” aired on Comcast-owned NBC from Nov. 8, 1965, to Sept. 9, 2022, before moving to the Comcast streaming platform Peacock in 2022.

‘9-1-1: Nashville’s LeAnn Rimes Says Rob Lowe Warned Her About “Craziness” Of Franchise

The 2x Grammy winner, who plays country singer Dixie Bennings in ABC‘s 9-1-1: Nashville, said she recently explained how she bought “into the craziness of this show” after talking with 9-1-1: Lone Star alum Rob Lowe.

“I was talking the other day to Rob Lowe and he was talking about how, ‘If you want reality, you don’t go to this series. We have the craziest rescues, which is what’s so interesting,'” recalled Rimes to Us Weekly. “We’ll be like, ‘There’s no way this has happened before in real life.’ Then they’ll show us the articles because they’re pulling from real life situations.”

Lowe starred as Capt. Owen Strand in the Austin-based spin-off that ran for five seasons, premiering in 2020 and airing its finale this February.

Rimes said, “If you think about it — in the world of however many millions of people there are — this stuff is bound to happen to somebody. Every time we think it hasn’t really happened, there’s an article for that that shows you it has. What I love about it is once you buy into the craziness of this show, you just fall in love with it.

“I remember watching the first couple episodes of 9-1-1. I was like, ‘What am I watching?'” she added. “And then about the third episode, I was like, ‘Whoa, I’m totally into their own reality.’ You just fall in love with it.”

Following the Season 9 premiere of the Los Angeles-based parent series, 9-1-1: Nashville debuted Thursday at 9/8c on ABC.

‘Countdown’ & ‘Butterfly’ Canceled By Prime Video After One Season

The cancellations were not a foregone conclusion, especially for Countdown, which, more than a month after its Season 1 finale, continues to linger on Prime Video’s U.S. Top 10, currently at #10. Both Countdown and Butterfly broke into Nielsen Top 10 for Streaming Originals: Countdown, which had a weekly release, reaching #8, Butterfly, which did a binge drop, #6. For Countdown, the stronger overall performer of the two, the decision came down to total global viewership, I hear.

Over the last month and a half, Prime Video decided the fate of the six new scripted series launched from May – August, starting with the three YA titles. Of them, We Were Liars and Overcompensating were renewed, while Motorheads was canceled.

The streamer then proceeded with the three freshman crime/thriller dramas, renewing the Bosch spinoff Ballard and canceling Countdown and Butterfly. All decisions were made under Amazon MGM Studios’ outgoing Head of Global TV Vernon Sanders; the last three were finalized after Peter Friedlander had been announced as his successor.

Amazon MGM Studios remains in business with Ackles through the first-look deal Chaos Machine, his company with wife Danneel Ackles, has at the studio. He also headlines Prime Video’s upcoming The Boys spinoff series Vought Rising.

Countdown, from creator, executive producer and showrunner Derek Haas, who is under an overall deal at Amazon MGM Studios, also stars Eric Dane and Jessica Camacho.

In it, when an officer with the Department of Homeland Security is murdered in broad daylight, LAPD detective Mark Meachum (Ackles), is recruited to a secret task force, alongside undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement, to investigate. But the hunt for the killer soon uncovers a plot far more sinister than anyone could have imagined, kicking off a race against time to save a city of millions.

Co-created by Ken Woodruff based on Arash Amel’s Boom! Studios’ graphic novel series, Butterfly a character-driven spy thriller that explores complex family dynamics within the treacherous world of global espionage. It’s centered on David Jung (Kim), an enigmatic, highly unpredictable former US intelligence operative living in South Korea, whose life is blown to pieces when the consequences of an impossible decision from his past come back to haunt him, and he finds himself pursued by Rebecca (Reina Hardesty), a deadly, sociopathic young agent assigned to kill him, and Caddis, the sinister spy organization she works for.

Kim’s production company, 3AD, developed the series, which filmed in South Korea, under its first-look deal with Amazon MGM Studios. The Butterfly cast also includes Kim Ji-hoon, Park Hae-soo, Kim Tae-hee, Charles Parnell, Sean Dulake, and Nayoon Kim, with Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa appearing in guest roles.

Woodruff served as showrunner and executive produced alongside novelist Steph Cha with Kim and John Cheng for 3AD; Stephen Christy and Ross Richie for Boom! Studios; and Amel for The Amel Company. Additionally, Adam Yoelin served as Co-EP for Boom! Studios. Kitao Sakurai directed the first two episodes.

‘DAYS’ Star Melissa Reeves Reveals the Jennifer Horton Change She Found ‘Ridiculous’ at First

For Reeves, the tribute came as a complete surprise. “I was reading my script and thinking, ‘Oh, this is great. There are so many flashbacks. That means fewer lines to learn,'” she recalls. “And I’m flipping through the pages very quickly, scanning to see what I’m going to be doing, and then at the very last page, it says, ‘Final chyron screen. Happy Anniversary, Melissa Reeves. 40 years.’ I immediately texted Janet [Spellman Drucker, then-coexecutive producer] and was like, ‘Janet, I am crying. I had no idea that anyone was going to do this, and I’m just honored. I’m humbled, I’m blessed, and I’m grateful that I can watch my life in one show. I can’t even explain to you just how special that is.'”

Reeves’ road to Salem began in 1984, when she landed the role of Jade Perkins on a new NBC soap, Santa Barbara. At the time, the 17-year-old was training to be a dancer and dreaming about landing a role in Cats on Broadway, but she relocated to Los Angeles to be part of the launch.

By 1985, with the Perkins family being phased out, Reeves was thinking about a return to the East Coast when an audition for DAYS rerouted her path for good. Though familiar with soaps, Reeves had never seen an episode of the show. “I was an ABC fan,” she shares. “I would watch Ryan’s Hope, All My Children, One Life to Live, General Hospital, and Edge of Night all day long when I was off from school. So, I had no clue who was on Days of Our Lives, and maybe that was better, because I walked in not knowing it or the characters, and it ended up being the greatest gift of my life.”

She remembers connecting early on with original cast member Frances Reid, who played her onscreen grandmother, Alice Horton. “I used to smoke cigarettes,” Reeves relays. “And people used to laugh about it because Frances did, too, so I would sit with her in her dressing room, and we would smoke cigarettes together. I had just turned 18, and I probably would have been in a lot of trouble if I still lived at home. But she would say, ‘Oh, honey, they’re calling us for our scenes. Come on. Put that out.'”

Reid wasn’t just a mentor; she set the tone for Reeves’ approach to the industry. “What I remember most in the beginning was just sitting with her in her dressing room and her teaching me everything about show business, about professionalism, being on time, knowing your lines, and when they call you, you jump and you get to stage,” she explains. “It was just such a great lesson in Hollywood. I would really listen to what everybody told me because I was still so green in the business.”

Another influential figure in her early years was MacDonald Carey (Tom Horton), who became an important presence on and off screen. “Mac and Frances were the dreamiest people. They literally were like my grandparents,” she shares. “I just adored them. I mean, Mac would give me different books to read all the time. He had me reading Gabriel Garcia Márquez. I didn’t even graduate high school, but I was like, ‘I’m gonna do it.'”

Playing Jennifer came naturally to Reeves at first. “My character was naughty,” she muses. “But it was no problem because I was right out of New Jersey. I was like, ‘She’s bad. I got it.'”

Her alter ego soon took a more wholesome turn, which Reeves found amusing. “I thought it was ridiculous,” she admits. “I was like, ‘Give me a break. There are no teenagers like this. This is dumb.’ I really scoffed at it, and it’s pretty funny, looking at my life now.”

A turning point came when Reeves was paired with Billy Warlock, who played Frankie Brady, and their characters’ romance became a fan favorite. “He was still so young but just knew everything about the entertainment industry,” she recalls. “He was so great. Billy and I have stayed friends over the years, and working with him was amazing because he was really such a pro, taught me so much, and is so real and such an honest guy.”

But it was her pairing with Matthew Ashford (Jack Deveraux) that changed everything. “Working with Matt was a whole different thing because he brought something totally different,” she says. “He committed to us not being the stereotypical, romantic couple, and I was like, ‘I’m just here to have fun. Great, let’s do it.’ And I’m glad I didn’t fight it because he made this whole thing work, and I give him credit for that.”

While Jack and Jennifer remain one of the most beloved supercouples in daytime history, Reeves didn’t grasp the scope of their impact at the time. “When you’re in the middle of it, you don’t even realize it because you’re working so much,” she explains. “There was no social media, so you only knew, ‘Okay, the ratings are good. That’s good.’ We did magazine covers and went on public appearances, which was great because would see that people loved our show, but without social media, we didn’t really know. But now looking back, I can actually enjoy it and think, ‘Wow, we were really part of this crazy phenomenon.'”

Of all the storylines over the years, the moments that stand out for Reeves are the ensemble adventures. “I always love the giant cast storylines where we’re all together doing perilous things, jumping in pools, driving cars off fake cliffs because that’s when everybody laughs the most,” she says. “In the old days, everybody had to be there at six o’clock in the morning, and there was something so fun about seeing everyone fresh out of bed, no makeup on. We’d go to dry block, and then we’d all go in our dressing room, take naps, and wake up for camera block. You were spending so much more time together, so you really were bonding as a family, which was really sweet.”

Today, Reeves’ work schedule is a little lighter, but she appreciates the role that Jennifer continues to play in Salem. “I always thought it would be so nice to carry on Frances’ legacy of the Horton family, to be this matriarch who leads and watches over people and offers advice,” she shares. “And Susan Hayes [Julie Williams] is so sweet about it. She’s always rallying for Matt and me and every time I come into town, she always invites me over and cooks a meal. And she’s just so precious. I mean, these are people who have been in my life for 40 years.”

And as she thinks about the four decades that have passed, Reeves can’t help but marvel that she’s still a part of the canvas. “As an actor, you live contract to contract because you never think a job could possibly last this long,” she notes. “My dream was always to be a wife and a mom and now grandma, and this incredible career in television was like the icing on the cake. I couldn’t have really prayed for anything better.”

She credits executive producer Ken Corday for helping shape her life far beyond the screen. “He blessed my life and my family’s life,” Reeves concludes. “He has been the greatest boss in the world because he’s always said, ‘This is your home. The door is always open.’ I grew up in a very hard family, and family is all I’ve ever wanted. It makes me cry to think about it, but Days of Our Lives literally became my family.”

Greg Rikaart Thought His The Young and the Restless Role Wouldn't Last, Says 'There Isn't a Whole Lot of Room for Ego' on Soaps

Rikkart tells PEOPLE that in 2003, he was a young actor in Los Angeles looking for work. “I definitely think I had some momentum, or at least something that felt like momentum,” the 48-year-old actor explains. He got “really close” to booking some big jobs and was screen testing for pilots. Even though he didn’t book them, he got far enough in the process that it felt like a good sign.

Then he auditioned for the role of Kevin on The Young and the Restless. “That was not a contract role,” he said. He had auditioned for bigger roles on soap, but says, “I think I fell just outside of the archetype of what they looked for. And Kevin, particularly when he started, was a little more on the nerdier side and not necessarily a young leading man.

“Where I got lucky with Kevin was that the role was originally supposed to be for a 10 or 20-episode arc,” he says. Since the summer months in L.A. were “pretty quiet” with work, he thought the small part would tide him over. “It felt like a win-win to just go and do a month or two on a soap,” he said.

But it didn’t last just one or two months. “Once I got there, it didn't matter what anybody else had said,” he says of joining Y&R despite prejudice against soap opera. “I had drank the Kool-Aid and was just happy to have a job.”

Rikaart ended up becoming a series regular on Y&R and starred on the show until 2017. Since then, he’s appeared on the soap on a recurring basis. The actor says he knew fans were invested in his character when he went to a fan convention about a month after he started, when Kevin was “in the throes” of being a real villain who terrorized Christel Khalil’s Lily Winters and Lyndsy Fonseca’s Colleen Carlton.

“It wasn't that the reaction was like, ‘Oh, we hate Kevin so much,’ ” Rikaart remembers. “It's like, ‘Oh, we love how much we hate him.’ And it was exactly what you want. As long as they have a strong opinion about you, that's the win.”

But Rikaart’s job security really came when, “by dumb luck,” head writer Jack Smith noticed how much he resembled Christian LeBlanc, who played Michael Baldwin, a lawyer with his own checkered past. He made them half-brothers. LeBlanc “realized we were being given a gift,” Rikaart says, “because having family on a soap is really a gift that keeps on giving. The opportunity for stories just kind of exponentially increases.”

Rikaart says he didn’t realize what a core part of the character it would become, but LeBlanc, 67, helped him invest in the fictional brotherhood. “Christian was so influential in making sure that we really put in the work and we would go out to dinner and we would spend a lot of time trying to figure out what the dynamic was between these two guys,” he says.

In 2005, Rikaart won a Daytime Emmy for his role as Kevin. He was nominated four more times. Since 2018, Rikaart has played Leo Stark on Days of Our Lives, which has garnered him two more Daytime Emmy nominations. With The Bold and the Beautiful star Rebecca Budig, he hosts CBS’s Soapy podcast, where they interview other soap stars about their careers and the beloved genre.

Rikaart says that working on soaps, “We all tend to be team players. There isn't a whole lot of room for ego.” He says that throughout the 22 years he’s been working in soaps, “It's felt like these shows are barely hanging on.” Everyone on set feels like “worker bees” who come together to make the magic happen.

He likes that about the genre. “I think in a lot of ways it feels like I have the best of both worlds,” he says. “I've never really been spoiled, but I also have gotten to be a working actor for over two decades.”

Soapy is streaming now on YouTube and is available wherever you get your podcasts.

‘Beyond The Gates’ Casts ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Veteran Greg Vaughan

Speculation has been rampant on social media that the Days of Our Lives alum was coming to the sudser. Over the weekend, cast member Trisha Mann Grant posted a video on Instagram to celebrate star Clifton Davis’ birthday.

In July, Val Jean told Deadline that “I can’t say who just yet, but I will say longtime soap fans all know and love him!”

Vaughan departed Days of Our Lives in 2020. He portrayed Eric Brady on the then-NBC daytime drama since 2012, and won a supporting actor Daytime Emmy for the role in 2018.

This the second major cast addition on the CBS soap since Keith D. Robinson joined in March as a series regular. He took over the role of Dr. Ted Richardson, previously played by Maurice Johnson.

Just last month, Beyond the Gates killed off its first big character. The role of Doug McBride, who was played by Jason Graham, perished in a car crash. Graham, whose previous credits include 911, All-American Homecoming and Sisters, was part of the original cast when the CBS soap debuted in February.

Beyond the Gates has been renewed for a second season. The sudser is up 67% in multi-platform viewership from last year’s time period and beats ABC’s General Hospital by 7% among women 25-54 on broadcast, according to Nielsen.

Michael Roark Debuts As Days of Our Lives’s Jeremy

Roark is taking on the part of Jeremy Horton, Stephanie Johnson’s one-time beau, who is the son of Mike Horton (Jennifer’s brother, last seen in 2022, whose portrayer, Roark Critchlow, is slated to pop in later this year) and Robin Jacobs. Jeremy was last seen in Salem back in 2007 and was played at that time by Trevor Donovan. His return was hinted at on screen when Julie Williams mentioned Jeremy’s impending visit to Stephanie, who wasn’t exactly doing cartwheels at the prospect of seeing her ex again.

Since leaving Y&R, Roark — who is a licensed attorney and practices entertainment law when he’s not in front of the camera — has kept busy with a wide away of projects, including the title role in the 2019 flick Bennett’s War, the streaming series Driven, in which he co-starred with DAYS alum Casey Jon Deidrick (ex-Chad); the Lifetime movie Suitcase Killer: The Melanie McGuire Story; the Amazon original Something From Tiffany‘s; and Passionflix’s The Black Dagger Brotherhood.

Reflecting on his previous stint in daytime, Roark told Digest in 2022 that appearing on Y&R “was a lot of fun. I loved it. When you work on a soap it’s kind of like stepping into another world that feels like this strange cross between TV, stage and improv, and I really enjoyed it. I loved the cast and crew over there, and I enjoyed playing Travis.” He also sang the praises of his leading lady, Amelia Heinle (Victoria), saying, “She was great. We had a lot of fun together. We kind of hit it off right from the screen test and we really just rode that through. She was always very supportive and I think it showed on screen how much we enjoyed working together.”

His time on the show was ultimately cut short due to some behind-the-scenes factors. Roark shared, “There was a whole road we were going to take with the character, and there was an interest on both sides for me to stay, but we just hit a stalemate with contract talks. I think it was a timing issue, more than anything. There was never any bad blood. I enjoyed it and I was willing to stay in the right circumstances. I think they felt the same but you know, it’s just what happens sometimes in this business. It was unfortunate but it was still a good run and I was always open to returning — and I still am, under the right circumstances.”

The actor appreciated the opportunity to dip his toe into the daytime world, noting, “When I first started, I remember getting texts from some people I trust saying that soaps are like an actor’s boot camp. What I now know, you really have to fall back and trust yourself. There are all these different opinions on soaps, but the reality is, it’s very challenging and it’s not for everybody. At that point of my career, I had touched every medium other than stand-up; I’ve done film, prime-time TV and stage, and with most, there are tons of rehearsals, tons of takes, and it’s almost like a safety blanket for some performers. ‘Oh, we’ll get it on the next take or the one after that.’ Well, it doesn’t work like that in the soap world. You have two takes to get it right because there are always a lot of pages to cover. I actually embraced that and thought it was a cool aspect of the job.”

2025 Daytime Emmy Awards Announces Presenter Lineup

“We’re thrilled to welcome such a wide-ranging and talented group of presenters to this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards,” Adam Sharp, President & CEO, NATAS, said in a press release. “From beloved daytime drama stars to culinary innovators, lifestyle experts, and talk show favorites, this lineup reflects the vibrancy and diversity of daytime television.

‘Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair’: Quentin Tarantino Epic To Be Released As One Movie In Early December

The Whole Bloody Affair removes the cliffhanger ending from 2003’s Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and the recap that began 2004’s Kill Bill: Vol. 2. New to this theatrical release will be a never-before-seen 7½-minute animated sequence. ?Select presentations of the release will be in 70mm and 35mm. Tarantino has spoken about a version that included animated footage, going as far back as San Diego Comic-Con 2014.

Tarantino said: “I wrote and directed it as one movie — and I’m so glad to give the fans the chance to see it as one movie. The best way to see Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is at a movie theater in Glorious 70mm or 35mm. Blood and guts on a big screen in all its glory!”

Lionsgate manages library distribution rights for Tarantino films, which also includes Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight and Death Proof.

In the Kill Bill movies, Uma Thurman stars as The Bride, left for dead after her former boss and lover Bill ambushes her wedding rehearsal, shooting her in the head and stealing her unborn child. To exact her vengeance, she first must hunt down the four remaining members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad before confronting Bill himself. Combined, the Kill Bill movies grossed $333 million at the global box office.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair also stars Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Gordon Liu, Michael Parks, and David Carradine as “Bill.” The film is produced by Lawrence Bender and written and directed by Tarantino, based on the character of The Bride created by Q&U.

Meet the New Theo Carver on ‘Days of Our Lives’: Tyler Joseph Andrews Teases His Debut

For Andrews, it marks his first soap role, but not his first audition at the Peacock show. “I had actually auditioned for Tate (Black, Leo Howard), and I screen-tested with Ashley Puzemis (Holly Jonas),” he begins. “I ended up not getting it, and I really wanted the job. A couple months later, I auditioned again, but they didn’t really tell me who I was auditioning for. I tested with Marissa (Reyes, Arianna Horton), and then about a week later, they let me know that I got the job. I was really happy because the first time that I had auditioned, I told my agent, ‘Look out for the email, ’cause I think I might get this one.’ And then when it didn’t happen, I was disappointed, so I was really grateful that they ended up calling me back in the audition once more.”

While the role was a welcome surprise, stepping into the soap world was unfamiliar territory for the Philadelphia native. “I come from a theater background,” he explains. “And this feels like live theater because you have a rehearsal and then you go to tape, but you only get to do it once. So, I was a little overwhelmed the first day.”

Luckily, he felt supported from the start. His first scene partner, Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera; Cane Ashby, The Young and the Restless), helped him get acclimated to the place of daytime drama. “He really made me feel comfortable and gave me the breakdown of how everything films here,” Andrews relays. “We did this scene in Brady’s Pub, which was funny because I had actually screen tested in Brady’s Pub about six months prior, so it made me feel a little bit more comfortable that we were going to be doing the scene there. It was a lot more relaxed than I expected it to be. Everyone just made it a very inviting environment for me.”

That sense of welcome extended to his on-screen father, James Reynolds (Abe Carver). “I love working with Jim; he’s really become one of my best friends here,” Andrews shares. “He’s been really great because he’s so knowledgeable, and he’s been doing this for so long. If you just watch him, he teaches you a lot about finding the camera and finding the light. I love being able to go to his room and talk to him because he’s always available and he’ll tell you the old stories about back in the day and how they used to film and all those things, and I really enjoy that.”

Andrews has cherished getting to know more of the cast — including a familiar face from his childhood. “Jackée Harry (Paulina Price) is someone that I grew up watching on Sister, Sister, 227, and Everybody Hates Chris,” he says. “I was excited to meet her, but I was also a little nervous to meet her. She is just so funny, and she makes it so enjoyable to come to work. And Casey Moss, who plays JJ [Deveraux], we’ve become good friends, and we joke around a lot.”

As for his character, Theo returns to town from South Africa, hot off his breakup with Claire Brady. “He’s coming back sort of lost, but he’s trying to find himself and he’s trying to find that purpose that he needs in life,” previews Andrews. “He’s maturing, and he wants to solidify something in Salem for the future.”

Theo will also be leaning into his darker family lineage with the DiMeras. “I really love exploring the DiMera side because I get to work with actors like Thaao Penghlis [Tony DiMera], who really welcomed me, and he’s really been like an acting teacher for me, just watching him work,” Andrews shares. “It’s a different energy working with that side of the family, and it brings a different behavior out of Theo. I think the more he gets involved with the DiMera side of the family, he might adapt some of those attributes that you’re used to seeing with them.”

Before booking Days, Andrews appeared in an episode of All American: Homecoming, but his road to Salem wasn’t easy. “I didn’t struggle in Los Angeles, but boy did I struggle in Philadelphia,” he says. “I just wanted to be an actor, and I was traveling back and forth from Philadelphia to New York. So, for about a year and a half, I just lived in my car, traveling back and forth from the theater.”

Despite those early challenges, his family has remained his biggest cheerleaders, and they were thrilled when he finally booked Days. But because of the soap’s unique shooting schedule, Andrews began taping in 2024 and had a long wait for his first episode to air. “Before I became an actor, I was just all over the place, so when I told them this, they were over the moon about it,” he says. “But were like, ‘Are you sure you have a job?’ I was like, ‘Listen, you’re not gonna see me on TV for, like, maybe a year.’ My mom, my dad, my brother, my sister — they’re the real reason that I was able to be an actor for so long because they just supported me constantly, especially my dad and my mom. They’re in my corner 24/7. They want to hear everything about it, what’s going on with the show, with my character, and they have friends that they know watch the show, so they’re really excited to be able to tell them that I’m on it.”

Now, with his first episode finally set to air, Andrews is ready for his family — and fans of the soap — to see what he’s been working on. “It’s a big relief,” he says. “I know my family’s going to really enjoy watching it because I’m so far away from them. I don’t really get to see them a lot, so it gives them something to watch me on daily. I’m really excited for it to come out.”

Days of Our Lives Recasts Theo Carver with Soap Newcomer Tyler Joseph Andrews

Andrews’s previous credits include numerous short films and roles in the movies V/H/S/Beyond, The Christmas Chain, and A Heart Full of Hope. DAYS will mark the young actor’s daytime debut.

Abe and Lexie’s son, Theo, was born back in 2003, and after a series of child actors, the soap cast Terrell Ransom, Jr. in the role in 2008. Ransom, Jr. remained in the role until 2015. (He later popped back in June 2023 for a handful of episodes to play Jerry Prentiss, a Theo look-alike!) The character was aged into a teen in 2015, with Kyler Pettis taking over until 2018. When Theo returned to Salem in 2020, the role was recast once again, with Cameron Johnson taking over the part.

Back in 2021, Theo had hoped to rekindle his relationship with Ciara Brady, as she had lost her recent memories and only remembered him and not her current beau, Ben Weston. Unfortunately, Ben was able to remind her of their love, and a brokenhearted Theo decided to return to South Africa. Having grown close to Ben herself, Claire Brady found herself in a similar situation and, having accepted a job in South Africa, joined Theo.

However, after Claire called Belle and Theo phoned Abe back in July to let their parents know that their relationship had come to an end, it would seem that Theo is once again returning home to Salem single. What kind of drama will he get mixed up in this time around? Only time will tell!

‘Young and the Restless’ Taps ‘DAYS’ Alum Lucas Adams to Play Noah Newman

Adams is no stranger to the soap world. He made his daytime debut on Days of Our Lives in 2017 as Tripp Dalton, son of Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Ava Vitale (Tamara Braun). His run as Tripp — the troubled soul who found his calling as a doctor — lasted on and off until 2024, earning him two Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Younger Actor along the way.

Noah, the offspring of Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), was last seen in 2023. He then relocated to London, where he found success in the nightlife scene. The character, who was born onscreen in 1997, has been played by several actors over the years, including Rory Gibson (2021 to 2023), now General Hospital‘s Michael Corinthos; Robert Adamson (2012 to 2020); and Kevin Schmidt (2008 to 2010; 2011 to 2012).

During his most recent run in Genoa City, Noah nursed feelings for Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks), who eventually married Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes). He also shared a complicated romantic history with Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) before falling in love with Allie Abbott Nguyen (Kelsey Wang), Jack Abbott’s (Peter Bergman) granddaughter. Two years ago, Noah and Allie left town together to start a new life overseas.

Interestingly, this isn’t Adams’ first time in Genoa City: He appeared on the CBS soap early in his career, playing a character named Wesley in the teen scene for one episode in March 2012. Outside of soaps, he portrayed Josh Wilcox on the Disney Channel sitcom Liv and Maddie from 2015 to 2017. He has also made appearances on Dexter, True Blood, School of Rock, and The Thundermans.

On a personal note, Adams met actress Shelby Wulfert on the set of Liv and Maddie. They began dating in October 2015, then tied the knot on October 15, 2022, at the Chateau Hiddenwood estate in his native Texas.

When Adams reports to Y&R, he will find some familiar faces at the studio. Braun, his onscreen mother from Salem, has joined the cast in a new role, Sienna Bacall. Meanwhile, Billy Flynn (who is still airing as Chad DiMera on DAYS) is now portraying Y&R’s Cane Ashby.
