Cast Shifts and Newcomers in Days of Our Lives - Updates on Cast Alterations
In the world of soap operas, few hold a candle to the long-running series "Days of Our Lives". Originally broadcast on NBC, the show has now found a new home on Peacock, where it continues to captivate audiences with its blend of romance, drama, intrigue, mystery, adventure, and loss.
Set in the fictional town of Salem, Illinois, the series follows the lives of the Brady, Horton, DiMera, and Kiriakis families, and their interwoven stories. A key character in EJ's life is Maggie Carney's Rita Lesley, a trusted assistant who provides answers and solutions that EJ often finds himself in need of.
The show's brief opening title sequence, "Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives," encapsulates the transient yet enduring nature of the series. And transient it may be, as the show is known for its dynamic cast.
In 2025, the show is welcoming new cast members to its fold. Al Calderon, Brian Altemus, and John Clarence Stewart are joining the cast, with Altemus playing Dr. Charlie, a doctor character. Miles Anderson, who currently appears as Foster, the bookstore owner, is also a part of the cast.
Stacy Haiduk is returning to the series as EJ's mother, Susan, and Alice Halsey, who plays Young Rachel Black, is back. Marlena (Deidre Hall) has questions for Alice, adding another layer of intrigue to the storyline.
Thaao Penghlis is also making a return to the series as Tony DiMera, starting from the week of June 23. EJ, played by James Scott, has questions for his mother Susan, played by Haiduk, in the upcoming episodes, promising a dramatic turn of events.
"Days of Our Lives" streams weekdays on Peacock, offering fans a chance to catch up on the latest episodes and immerse themselves in the world of Salem. The series premiered in 1965, making it one of the longest-running scripted television programmes in the United States. With its rich history and engaging storylines, it continues to be a staple in the world of soap operas.
