Marlena has been losing consciousness more often than Roman pours coffee at the Pub. It’s the kind of ominous, slow-build Days of our Lives has always loved. But while Marlena’s health is wobbling on-screen, Deidre Hall stepped off the canvas this week with a different kind of warning, one aimed straight at viewers’ real lives. Her new PSA hit social media with the same steadiness Hall brings to the role: calm voice, direct gaze, and that unmistakable “listen up” energy that cuts right through the scroll.

Key Takeaways

  • Deidre Hall used a new “The More You Know” PSA to warn fans about online impersonators.
  • She urged viewers to verify sources before sharing personal information.
  • Fans flooded the comments with praise, concern, and their own scam experiences.
  • Many shared stories of fake “Deidre Hall” accounts trying to contact them.
  • Viewers thanked Hall for raising awareness and keeping the community alert.

A Warning Fans Needed to Hear

NBCUniversal’s The More You Know’s official page recently wrote on Instagram, “Is that #DeidreHall? @deidrehall_official, thanks for the reminder to watch out for online #scams. #TheMoreYouKnow @dayspeacock #dool @peacock.” Short, pointed, and exactly the sort of nudge people need when a show as big as DAYS churns out lookalike accounts like confetti.

In the attached video, she starts with, “I’m Deidre Hall…or am I?” which makes you wonder whether Hall was really Hall or a deepfake. Then she slips into educator mode: “Online scammers today are constantly impersonating people you know to gain your trust and your personal information. So don’t just give it out. Verify the source before sharing anything personal,” she said, finishing with, “The more you know.”

The whole thing landed like a seatbelt click. Not dramatic, not dire — just a steady reminder from someone who’s watched her own name used as bait more times than she can count. (Find out how The Young and the Restless’ Joshua Morrow (Nick) also warned fans about scams.)

Fans Had Plenty to Say

The comment section lit up immediately, as a fan wrote, “Hold me, Marlena!!” while another added, “Love you!” One viewer chimed in with, “Glad she did this. I hope the soap fans who may fall prey to these scams pay attention.” Someone else simply said, “Thank you! Smart!” and another follower declared, “World-renowned Diedre Hall ❤️❤️❤️.”

Others shared their own run-ins with impostors: “I have received over 20 requests to follow other people claiming to be you,” a follower wrote, while another said, “I had somebody that kept saying they were you and just kept trying to talk to me and get information.” A fan echoed the message with, “Be careful, a lot of scammers out there, keep your eyes and ears open.”

Then came the personal stories — a Medicare scam call where the fan wised up, childhood nostalgia like, “How does she look the EXACT SAME as she did when I last watched Days with my grandmother? My grandmother died in 2001.”, and a viewer who added, “Great way to reach people on social media about scams.” Someone else nailed the core of it: “It’s ridiculous how many fake profiles pretend to be soap opera stars. And sad that people actually believe them.”

And finally, because it’s Deidre Hall and there is only one Queen of DAYS, a follower closed it out with, “Yes, my Queen.”
