Who’s coming and who’s going from Days of our Lives (DOOL)?

Days of our Lives C&G News

Are any of your favorite performers from yesteryear returning to the daytime drama, this week, or in the not too far off future? Have any new actors or actresses been cast on the show in contract, recurring or day player roles? Are any well remembered stars from other soaps, past or present, about to join the Days of our Lives fold in surprising new parts? Here’s the latest casting news from the NBC soap.

The week of May 10, 2021

That was Dan Wells playing “Dr. Dunn,” the Salem University Hospital physician that Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin) insisted “the dying” Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) receive a second opinion from, and who confirmed his “brain tumor” and “terminal diagnosis.”

If the actor looks familiar, it’s because Wells previously appeared on the soap for a long arc back in 2005, when he subbed for the then-pregnant Alison Sweeney. He played Stan when Sami went undercover as a man to get revenge on her enemies. Once again, Wells was portraying a disguised Sami.

Please note that air dates may be subject to change.

Days of our Lives History

DOOL made its debut in 1965 and is one of the longest-running daytime soap operas in American history. It has outlasted other soaps to become a mainstay for many households. Needless to say, five decades of storylines have kept viewers locked in and wanting more.

From Sami Brady’s (Alison Sweeney) crazy schemes to Victor Kiriakis’s (John Aniston) one-liners to the epic love story of John (Drake Hogestyn) and Marlena (Deidre Hall), DAYS knows how to entertain and keep fans coming back for more. Fans love their daytime soap operas and the excitement in Salem is non-stop.

Current Soap Operas

It is one of four soap operas currently on the air. The other three daytime dramas include General Hospital (GH), The Young and the Restless (YR), and The Bold and the Beautiful (BB). DAYS airs weekdays on NBC. Check your local listings for air times.
