General Hospital spoilers ask fans if Sofia Mattsson, who recently left the role of Sasha Corbin, was offered a role on another soap, should she go to Dool or Y&r?

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Sophia Mattson Left Gh To Pursue Other Opportunities

Sofia Mattsson left Gh to pursue other opportunities, but made it clear that she would definitely be interested in returning someday.

While Mattsson feels that her Gh character has unfinished business in Port Charles, namely with Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson), we thought, just for fun, we would ponder this question.

If Mattsson were to join Days of Our Lives, we think she might make a good Abigail Dimera (last played by Marci Miller). Even though Abigail was brutally murdered, it’s still a soap.

There are no rules when it comes to back-from-the-dead storylines on soaps, as no death is ever really final, especially on Days.

That goes double for Days of Our Lives.

Days Of Our Lives spoilers confirm the good news that Days has been renewed for two more seasons! The Peacock soap has been thriving since 1965 and is set to celebrate its 60th anniversary this November.

‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Dool Hit The Streaming Platform In September 2021

The streaming platform believes in the show. Dool has proven to be a massive success. The Days spin-off, Beyond Salem, started on Peacock in September 2021.

It came as no surprise that when NBC discontinued Days in September 2022, Peacock was quick to pick up the show.

According to Soap Opera Digest, Dool has consistently ranked among the top 15 entertainment series on the platform since its arrival on the streaming service.

Fans know that Days is not your average soap. It showcases a unique brand of storytelling. It includes a bold use of science fiction.

The soap famously features supercouples who stand the test of time.

‘Days of Our Lives spoilers’ confirm that the soap has recently released its shocking summer preview, and the buzz from fans is deafening.

Fresh and exciting drama will be showcased in time for the hottest season of the year. There is a great deal to unpack in this video, so we’ll begin with the obvious.

‘Days Of Our Lives Spoilers’: Stefano Rises From The Ashes Once Again

Stefano Dimera (last played by the late Joe Mascolo) may be alive! It’s a miracle for the Dimera family and a nightmare for the rest of Salem. Hey, they don’t call him the Phoenix for nothing.

The promo also features a double kidnapping, a murder trial, and surprising hook-ups between characters you wouldn’t suspect.

Let’s unpack: In the case of Stefano, we see someone in a lab coat, likely Dr. Wilhem Rolf (William Utay...

Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest that Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel) has a plan for his girlfriend, Belle Black (Martha Madison), to get Johnny Dimera (Carson Boatman) off the hook.

Days Of Our Lives Spoilers: Johnny Told Ej He Didn’t Shoot Him

On June 27th, we saw Johnny and Ej start to heal their damaged relationship as Johnny finally explained to his father that he wasn’t the one who shot him.

Viewers could clearly see the relief on Ej’s face. Johnny also softened toward his father when he realized Ej had been trying to protect him, even though he believed he was guilty.

Unfortunately, their reunion was short-lived as Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) showed up and arrested Johnny for attempted murder.

Thanks to Gabi Hernandez’s big mouth, Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) found out that Johnny was at the Dimera mansion the night Ej was shot.

‘Days of Our Lives’ (Dool) two-week spoilers suggest that viewers are in store for some major shockers within the next couple of weeks.

Several characters will be tested as the drama, mystery, intrigue, and romance intensify and we approach the July sweeps. Here are the Days spoilers for June 30th to July 11th.

‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Week Of June 30th to July 4th

Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel) insists his son wasn’t the person who pulled the trigger on him as he works to prove his innocence.

Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) worries that telling her grandma, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), about Johnny Dimera’s (Carson Boatman) presence at the mansion the night Ej was shot is what landed him in prison.

We’re still thinking that little Rachel is the one who shot Ej. She may not remember the incident or is framing Johnny for the crime. After all,...

‘Days of Our Lives’ (Dool) spoilers reveal that Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel) woke up from his coma, a seemingly changed man. He seemed to genuinely be glad to see Kristen Dimera (Stacey Haiduk) and greeted her with a jovial “Hi Kristen, it’s good to see you.”

‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Ej Was Just Too “Good” To Be True

Then, when Detective J.J. Deveraux (Casey Moss) questioned him, he was cooperative and, dare we say, cordial. He told the good detective what he remembered of the shooting, which, admittedly, isn’t much.

A couple of days ago, Soaps.com presented the brilliant theory that Ej may have shot himself and that he knew Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) had installed a recording device in the Dimera mansion.

Soap writer Curtis Harding suggested that perhaps Ej snarked, “What are you doing?” to make it appear as...

Who is fake Rafe on Days of our Lives? That’s a question many Days fans are asking as faux Rafe, aka Arnold Feniger, popped up in Salem to cause trouble for Ej (Daniel Feuerriegel).

It’s been a minute since Arnold was on the canvas.

In fact, fake Rafe hasn’t been around in over a decade.

So, if you are a bit confused about the man who looks but acts nothing like Rafe, we have a little refresher for you.

After all, today, Rafe (Galen Gering) came face to face with his double, adding a new twist to this story.

Let’s take a look at what we know about Arnold Feniger, or fake Rafe, as Days of our Lives fans refer to him.

Who is fake Rafe on Days of our Lives?

In 2011, the feud between Rafe and Ej (then James Scott) over Sami (Alison Sweeney) took a soapy turn.

Days of Our Lives (Dool) spoilers and updates reveal that the show has had some pretty wild storylines over the years. As it enters its 60th season, let’s take a look back and remember them; the wildest Days of Our Lives storylines ever!

Days Of Our Lives Spoilers – Princess Gina Von Amberg And Her Doppelganger

Stefano Dimera (Joseph Mascolo), the resident villain, was causing trouble for Salem’s beloved residents during the Princess Gina storyline in the late 1990s.

He used the talented artist Princess Gina Von Amberg (Kristian Alfonso) to help him steal valuable artworks with John Black (Drake Hogestyn), known as “The Pawn.”

Gina fell in love with John, who has one of the wildest character journeys on the show, but Stefano tricked her into believing he was dead.

Heartbroken, Gina stopped painting for Stefano, and he imprisoned her at her chateau in France. Stefano continued the...

Days of our Lives star Brandon Barash has exited the role of Stefan Dimera on the hit Peacock soap.

Brandon was let go from the Days despite still being on contract with the show.

This marks the second time Brandon has been let go from the role he took over from Tyler Christopher in 2018.

Days fans will recall that in 2019, the show killed off Stefan when Brandon was fired, only to hire him back to play Stefan’s long-lost twin, Jake.

In 2022, Jake was killed, and his heart was used to help Dr. Rolfe (then-William Utay) bring Stefan back to life.

Once again, Stefan will be exiting the canvas, and we are losing Brandon’s stellar on-screen talent.

When is Brandon Barash’s final airdate as Stefan on Days of our Lives?

According to Soaps.com, who first broke the news of Brandon’s exit, his run ends very soon.

‘Days Of Our Lives’ (Dool) spoilers reveal that Phillip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) will return to Salem soon to fight for his father, Victor Kiriakis’s empire, Titan, as Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) is about ready to hand Titan over to Kristen Dimera (Stacey Haiduk) in exchange for Dr. Wilhelm Rolf’s (William Utay) miracle cure for Sarah Horton Kiriakis (Linsey Godfrey) so she can walk again.

‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Phillip Doesn’t Want The Family Legacy To Go To The Dimeras

Sarah and Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) will try to talk some sense into Xander, as they don’t want the family legacy to go to Kristen. Xander really doesn’t want that either, but Kristen made a compelling argument after Xander pointed out that he couldn’t just hand over his late father’s company into the hands of the daughter of his greatest enemy, the...

Since 1997, Days of Our Lives’ resident mad scientist, Dr. Wilhelm Rolf, has been on hand to resurrect the dead, brainwash Salemites, and more. Originally played by William Utay, the part was later recast in 2022 with Richard Wharton as the devious doctor. If either iteration of the demented scientist seems familiar, that’s probably because he resembles a character actor who starred in several horror classics.

A Puppet Master Like Dr. Rolf

Guy Rolfe was a British actor who appeared in films since 1937 and starred in several classics, including Ivanhoe (1952), The Barbarians (1960), and King of Kings (1961). But it was his role as the title character in William Castle’s Mr. Sardonicus in 1961 that made horror fans take notice. In the film, he played a man whose face froze in a creepy and disturbing grin.

He appeared in several subsequent TV shows, including The Champions (1968), which starred General Hospital’s Stuart Damon...

‘Days of Our Lives’ (Dool) spoilers reveal that Kristen Dimera (Stacey Haiduk) will learn this week that Fiona Cook (Serena Scott Thomas) confessed to the hit-and-run that left Sarah Kiriakis (Linsey Godfrey) in a wheelchair. Now Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) is free.

‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Xander And Sarah Honored Their End Of The Deal

This new development will prompt Kristen to change the terms of her deal with Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer). She will blackmail Xander, telling him she’ll only give him Dr. Wilhelm Rolf’s (William Utay) miracle cure if he agrees to hand over Titan to Dimera.

Despite Xander and Sarah being the reason why Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel) released Brady from prison, Kristen wants a more lucrative prize for her troubles.

Xander and Sarah turned Fiona into the police after Xander witnessed his mother almost pushing Sarah down the stairs. Xander stopped her and demanded answers.

‘Days of Our Lives’ (Dool) two-week spoilers hint that the next two weeks in Salem will be filled with excitement. We are on the precipice of November sweeps, and two significant secrets are about to blow up.

There will be twists and turns for your favorite characters as storylines continue to develop. There will be tons of drama and surprises, as this town is an outrageous place where anything can happen. Buckle up and get ready for spoilers for October 14th to 25th:

‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers For Two-Week: Week Of October 14th to 18th

Chad Dimera (Billy Flynn) and Fake Abigail (AnnaLynn McCord) will get married in Paris as planned. Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) will be the maid of honor after “Abigail” explains away the teenager’s many suspicions.

JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) will also serve as the wedding officiant. The reception will be one no one will ever forget,...

Days of our Lives has had several serial killers in Salem, from The Salem Strangler of the ’80s to the soap’s latest, Killer Connie. Let’s take a look back at some of the best serial killer storylines throughout the years.

Salem’s Serial Killers

Days has had six major serial killers over the past six decades, starting with The Salem Strangler in 1982, who killed three women while harboring an obsession with Marlena (Deidre Hall). He was followed by Andre (ex-Thaao Penghlis) as The Salem Slasher in 1993 and Jack’s (ex-Matthew Ashford) stepfather as The Riverfront Knifer in 1987.

Salem didn’t see any more serial killing until the early 2000s when The Salem Stalker arose for a murder mystery that ended with a major twist. Next came The Necktie Killer, who offed several beloved Salemites in 2015, followed by Salem’s newest crazy killer, Connie.

The Salem Slasher...

‘Days of Our Lives’ (Dool) spoilers reveal Gabi Herandez‘s (Cherie Jimenez) and Rafe Hernandez‘s (Galenn’t been Gering) cousin is coming soon to Salem.

‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: “Javi” Could Be A New Love Interest For Leo

The cousin’s name hasn’t been officially released yet, but actor Al Calderon will portray him. The character’s unofficial name is said to be Javi.

The only information shared about the new character is that he’s 29 years old. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Calderon will play someone close to his actual age.

After all, Tate Black (Leo Howard) is a teenager in high school, but the actor is actually 27. Javi could come to Salem and cause drama for Tate and Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis), whose relationship may already be over.

However, there is a lot of buzz about Javi being gay. Javi could be a new...

‘Days of Our Lives’ (Dool) spoilers has captivated audiences for over five decades with its intricate plots, dramatic twists, and, most notably, its iconic villains.

These antagonists have been pivotal in driving the storylines, creating chaos, and keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. Let’s take a comprehensive look at some of the most memorable villains who have wreaked havoc in Salem.

1. Stefano Dimera: The Phoenix

Character Overview: Stefano Dimera, portrayed by Joseph Mascolo, is arguably the most notorious villain in “Days of Our Lives” history. Known as “The Phoenix,” Stefano is the patriarch of the Dimera family, a dynasty synonymous with power, manipulation, and terror.

Villainous Acts:

Mind Control and Brainwashing: Stefano is infamous for his use of mind control, having brainwashed several characters, including Hope Brady and John Black, to do his bidding. Kidnappings: He has orchestrated numerous kidnappings, including the long-running saga of Marlena Evans,...

Star Trek: Enterprise's Nx-01 Enterprise had grapplers instead of a tractor beam, which failed when they tried to save trapped crew members. Grapplers have gained renewed interest in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, with Ensign Boimler and Lt. LA'an Noonien-Singh geeking out over them. It's unclear when Starfleet developed tractor beam technology, but it became commonplace by the time of Star Trek: Discovery and The Original Series.

Star Trek: Enterprise's most primitive technology failed when Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) and his crew needed it the most. Archer's Nx-01 Enterprise was Starfleet's first Warp 5 capable starship, allowing humans to explore deep space for the first time. Enterprise launched with the best technology 22nd Starfleet had available, although the Nx-01 lacked deflector shields and photon torpedoes hadn't been developed yet. And, instead of a tractor beam, Archer's Enterprise had grapplers.

Grapplers have gained a renewed interest thanks to Star...

NBC’s Night Court reboot could bring back more original series stars, teases the show’s EP. Set on the night shift of a Manhattan criminal court, the original Night Court became a solid ratings performer for NBC during the 1980s, going on to run for nine seasons. Now the legal wackiness is back, as Night Court has returned for a revival series, starring Big Bang Theory’s Melissa Rauch as presiding judge Abby Stone, the daughter of original series judge Harry Stone (Harry Anderson).

Though most of the Night Court revival’s cast is indeed new, there is one original series hold-over in John Laroquette, who is back as ever-pompous attorney Dan Fielding. But could other original Night Court stars make their way to the revival series? The answer to that is “maybe,” according to reboot executive producer Dan Rubin. Speaking during the recent TCA winter press tour (via...

On Days of our Lives, speculation is rampant that more back from the dead characters are about to pop up in Salem after we’ve seen several mystery initials on the doors of Kristen’s (Stacy Haiduk) funhouse. I mean, warehouse! Who exactly are we talking about? The initials that kicked off everyone’s rumor-mongering were E.D. for presumably E. J. Dimera. But wait, there’s more! W.R. on Days of our Lives stands for who exactly? Could it be that malevolent evil doer, Wilhelm Rolf (William Utay), the dirty doctor who has had a hand in everyone’s death, rebirth, and just about any […]

The post Who is W.R. on Days of our Lives? appeared first on Monsters and Critics.

1984: General Hospital's Frisco met Felicia.

1987: Another World's Dawn learned her mother had died.

1988: Santa Barbara's Julia was reunited with Mason.

2007: Passions' Ethan learned he had a son."The best prophet of the future is the past."
