Days of our Lives Bonus Clips: Scenes That Didn’t Make The Final Cut

Days of our Lives is currently on a Winter Olympics-necessitated hiatus, but fans in desperate need of a daily dose of Salem shenanigans need look no further. There is a plethora of exciting content to hold you over till Monday, February 21, 2022 – including deleted scenes scooped up from the cutting room floor.

Days of our Lives: The Cutting Room Floor

The soap’s official YouTube channel has provided wonderful scenes we would have missed otherwise. From ponderous chit-chat between spouses to two intrepid truth seekers laying it all on the line, these are but a few of the scenes that didn’t make the final edit.

John & Marlena
This interaction between spouses John Black and Marlena Evans Black is all recapitulation — they discuss her most recent exorcism, the plight of her eldest daughter, and more. But any scene featuring Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall is worth a watch.

Abby & Xander 
The more you know, the better. It’s a popular NBC public service announcement campaign, and sort of a motto that Abigail Deveraux DiMera (Marci Miller) lives by…and boy does Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) have information to impart. Like the John and Marlena scene before it, this is pure recap — and a prime example of how truly dense Xander can be on occasion.

Lani & Eli
Couple cuteness and cross-promotion? This clip starring Lamon Archey and Sal Stowers — better known to Days of our Lives fans as Eli Grant and Lani Price Grant — has got it all going on.

It’s a case of out with the old and in with the new. The king is dead, long live the king. EJ is out, and Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) is in the top spot at the family company. He couldn’t be prouder – and neither could Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow).

A friend in need is a friend indeed…and when that friend happens to be an ultra-sympathetic ex-husband, all the better.
