In the past couple of weeks, Days of our Lives has been dropping hints about the next generation in Salem amid a cast shake-up. The recent mentions of characters like Sydney and Tyler are a sign something is in the works, and with the exit of Holly, Tate, and Sophia, it seems the hit Peacock soap is gearing up for what comes next for the younger scene.
Key Takeaways
- EJ hinted Sydney will be popping up in Salem.
- Philip recently mentioned his son, Tyler, with Mimi.
- The younger scene is losing cast members this year.
The Tide Is Changing In Salem
Something definitely seems to be shifting on the DAYS. Ever since it was revealed earlier this year that Leo Howard (Tate), Ashley Puzemis (Holly), Raven Bowens (Chanel), and Carson Boatman (Johnny) were let go from the show, the question of what will happen to the next generation in Salem has been brought up.
It seems the daytime drama has hinted what the future holds. EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) recently told Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) that Sydney would be coming to town. DAYS fans have wondered when Sami (Alison Sweeney) daughter would pop up in Salem and now we know it is on the horizon.
Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) filling Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) in on his son Tyler, with Mimi (Farah Fath), was not only a blast from the past but also a tease of another member of the next generation who could be thrown into the mix.
Can you imagine if EJ’s daughter and Philip’s son got together? Talk about juicy entertainment!
Those aren’t the only two that could be headed to Salem. Let’s not forget about Carrie (Christie Clark) and Austin’s (Austin Peck) son Noah, or Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin) and Daniel’s (Shawn Christian) son Parker. They could easily be brought into the fold.
Noah could come visit his grandparents, Roman (Josh Taylor), Kate (Lauren Koslow), and Marlena (Deidre Hall). Now that Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins), Chloe’s sister, is back in Salem, it would be the right time to have Parker follow his aunt. After all, he has a grandmother in Salem, too, Maggie (Suzanne Rogers).
Depending on how the show ages these characters, they could all fit into the Salem U crowd, which will soon only consist of Ari (Vico Escorcia) and Aaron (Louis Tomeo) after Holly and Tate’s exit.
One thing is clear. DAYS has to bring in new blood to build a next generation to keep the show moving along. The soap should take a page out of General Hospital’s playbook, because their younger scene is on fire and has been for a while.
