The week of July 13, 2020
Alison Sweeney is back for another story arc as Sami Brady DiMera. Look for the character to turn up as a wedding crasher at Eric (Greg Vaughan) and Nicole’s (Arianne Zucker) nuptials on Tuesday, July 14, and then play a pivotal part in Allie’s (Lindsay Arnold) pregnancy storyline. Sweeney made her last appearance on the show in 2019.
Get ready for a blast from the past. Ivan G’Vera resurfaces as Ivan Marais, Vivian’s (Louise Sorel) longtime devoted manservant on Wednesday, July 15, when he reveals a whopper of a secret. G’Vera played Ivan from 1991 to 2000 and appeared on the soap briefly in 2011.
Meanwhile, Kristian Alfonso is exiting the soap as Hope Williams Brady. The actress, who initially joined the cast back in 1983, announced the news via a social media post. She’s already taped her final scenes.
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 Stefano DiMera’s (Joseph Mascolo) evil schemes to Victor Kiriakis’s (John Aniston) one-liners to the epic love story of Bo (Peter Reckell) and Hope (Kristian Alfonso), DAYS knows how to entertain and keep fans coming back for more. Sadly, times are shifting and daytime soap operas are shrinking.
It is one of only four remaining 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.
