Days of our Lives visits The Today Show
On NBC’s The Today Show, the stars of Days of our Lives visited to talk
Days of our Lives’ first episode was on November 8, 1965. The show will celebrate its 60th anniversary this year, and to talk about that, stars Deidre Hall (Dr. Marlena Evans), James Reynolds (Abe Carver), and Eric Martsolf (Brady Black) joined The Today Show on NBC this morning.
In addition to the show’s anniversary, it was noted that Hall’s 50th anniversary playing Marlena will be celebrated next year. Reynolds has been Abe Carver for 44 years, and Marsolf as Brady for 17 years. Hall began the chat by sharing that none of them had imagined being part of the show as long as they have been, but noted that they were a family.
Salemites will celebrate the 60th anniversary in November at a massive reunion at a hospital gala in honor of Tom Horton (played by the late Macdonald Carey). Carver shared, “Everybody is going to see all their favorites. People are coming back from when we began. It’s going to be fantastic. People who have watched the show for a long, long time are going to be thrilled.” He added that viewers who are newer to the show will get a deeper understanding of the show’s history.
On her Instagram, Hall added some photos of her time in NYC visiting the morning show. She captioned them, “Such a fun morning celebrating the 60th Anniversary and induction into the @bchofnyc of @dayspeacock at the @todayshow!”
Co-head writers Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford told TV Insider that, “The 60th anniversary is the event that brings the town together to celebrate. The hospital gala will kick off a new umbrella story that extends into the new year.”
The festivities will play out the week of November 3rd.
TV Insider says to watch for these past characters to return “for a handful of episodes over the season,” such as Lamon Archey (Eli Grant), Matthew Ashford (Jack Deveraux), Maree Cheatham (Marie Horton), Roark Critchlow (Mike Horton), Bryan Dattilo (Lucas Horton), Colton Little (Andrew Donovan), Chandler Massey (Will Horton), Melissa Reeves (Jennifer Deveraux), Sal Stowers (Lani Price Grant), Stephen Schnetzer (Steve Olson), Christopher Sean (Paul Narita), Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady) and Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady).
