Christmas is a time for joy and togetherness, and “Days of our Lives” is bringing all the holiday cheer with the returns of several fan favorites on tap. On the Thursday, December 22 episode of the soap, Kyle Lowder was back in Salem as Rex surprised Kate (Lauren Koslow). Meanwhile, the Friday, December 23 episode is jam-packed with returns, including Lamon Archey as Eli, Cady McClain as Jennifer and even Marci Miller as Abby. First up: Chad (Billy Flynn) meets up with Jennifer at Abigail’s grave as they reflect on memories of their loved one. “They’re still grieving in different ways, but they’re at a place now of more acceptance,” says Flynn in the December 26, 2022 issue of Soap Opera Digest, on newsstands now. “They’re able to reflect on and understand what Abigail’s life was, who she was and how she served everybody. Chad feels like he has to gather a bit of strength and be there for Abigail’s mother. He is comforting Jennifer.” Later in the episode, as everyone gathers around to hang up ornaments on the Horton tree, Chad imagines Abigail and they talk about how he is going to make Christmas okay for their kids as they celebrate their first holiday without their mother. “It’s very sweet,” teases Flynn of the husband and wife conversation. “I kind of viewed it as the audience getting a glimpse into the relationship that Chad and Abigail have now.” Elsewhere, while he’s currently moonlighting as Principal Carter on The CW’s “All American,” Lamon Archey is once again back in Salem when Eli pays a visit to grandma Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) with the twins in toe. “It has been a while since Eli had seen his family and vice versa,” the actor tells Soap Opera Digest. “It is a good time to get everyone together, and what better time to do it than Christmas?” Catching up with his former co-stars was a great experience, Archey notes, specifically when he caught up with Susan and her husband Bill Hayes. “I hadn’t seen them since I left. I think I maybe emailed them once or twice during the time I was gone. It was really good seeing them and the other faces I hadn’t seen in a while. It was really good reconnecting with my co-workers.” As for what fans can expect to learn from Eli considering Lani (Sal Stowers) is unable to bask in the cheer considering she’s currently in prison, Archey says, “I believe Eli says she’s doing the best she can under the circumstances. She’s pulling through, but definitely misses being with her family, especially during the holidays.” Although Archey’s latest return is a short one, don’t be surprised to see him pop up again sometime in the near future. “I talked to Albert [Alarr, co-executive producer] before I left,” he notes. “He had asked me if I wanted to come back and do some more episodes. I said we can definitely talk and figure it out. Recently, they did reach out to me and asked if I’d stop by again and help with some stories they have going on. So, of course, I’m down to pop in and lend a helping hand.” Outside of “All American,” Archey can next be seen in the TV movie “Love Me to Death” which also stars actors Brian White, Pamela Jones and Tisha Campbell, among others. A release date has not been announced. Watch the show’s holiday promo below. “Days of our Lives” airs weekdays, exclusively on Peacock.

There was a kink in the system when we kept trying to update the server to PHP 8.0. The then current software version of the message boards worked for the most part but certain links came back as broken according to web browsers. We had to revert back to an older, but no longer supported version of PHP to rectify the issue. However, this prevented us from upgrading to the now current software version. After ensuring a secure backup was available and with additional support from our hosting team, we were able to upgrade to to latest software version this morning. Things now seem to be working correctly, particularly the Real Housewives thread which had been one of the bigger threads impacted by the aforementioned software issues. Let me know if you find any more kinks.

With her character being sent away to Bayview Sanitarium following her recent dirty deeds, including attempted murder and planting a bomb at Susan’s memorial service, Tamara Braun’s run as Ava Vitali on “Days of our Lives” has come to an end.

If you want to see Ava off, tune into DOOL today for her last day in Salem.” She added, “Thanks for all the love and support you continue to show me. I will miss you all!!” She concluded her post by informing fans that she’ll still be accessible via the social media platform. Braun first joined the “Days of our Lives” cast in 2008 as Ava before later moving on to take on the role of Reese Williams on “All My Children” that same year. She returned to “DAYS” in 2011, this time playing a recast Taylor Walker. She again reprised the Ava role from 2015-2016; and finally in 2020 before wrapping her run with today’s episode.

Failing to ever crack Netflix’s coveted Top 10 list since its premiere in early November, the streaming service has decided not to pursue a second season of “Blockbuster,” a scripted take on the working life of employees operating the last Blockbuster Video in America. The series starred Randall Park (“Fresh Off the Boat”) and Melissa Fumero (“One Life to Live,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”). According to a logline for the series, “Timmy Yoon (Park) is an analog dreamer living in a 5G world. And after learning he is operating the last Blockbuster Video in America, Timmy and his staff, including his long-time crush, Eliza (Fumero), fight to stay relevant. The only way to succeed is to remind their community that they provide something big corporations can’t: human connection.” “Blockbuster” landing on Netflix came with a bit of irony as the streamer played a vital role in the demise of the once iconic brand when it built its customer base by mailing DVDs directly to members, cutting out the need for visiting the local video store. Produced by Universal Television, the 10-episode series was co-created by Vanessa Ramos who also served as executive producer and showrunner. Olga Merediz, Tyler Alvarez, Madeleine Arthur, JB Smoove and Kamaia Fairburn also star. Check out the official trailer below.

With an instrumental version of “Christmas Time is Here” playing in the background during his video message, Coloma stated, “It’s hard to even say it,” referencing yesterday’s confirmation by ABC confirming that he’d be leaving the show. “I get so sad when I think about it. Look, I don’t know what I can or can’t say other than what an incredible ride. There’s such a family feel at ‘General Hospital,’ which I felt so blessed to be a part of. I know I’ve said this a million times — the fans are the best fans in the entire world, and I think a lot of that is just because you guys have been watching for such a long time. So, thank you for including me, thanks for the love, happy holidays. You guys, Maurice [Benard, Sonny] said he’s gonna change his number on me but I know where he lives.

Of course it’s always sad, and sometimes confusing.” He added, “I believe when you’re talented it’s always a blessing in disguise I always call @marcuscoloma the filmmaker!!!

Interesting. The Soap Opera Network Instagram and people at other outlets told me the same thing about that error message. Did he block the media AND his GH cast? Weird.

I laughed.

Following an earlier report that he had been let go as co-executive producer at “The Young and Restless,” Anthony Morina has confirmed his exit to Soap Hub’s Michael Maloney. In a statement, Morina says, “After 16 years, it’s time to move on to other things.” He added, “I’m most proud of keeping the show going over the last two and a half years through COVID once we returned after the initial production shutdown.” Morina will not be replaced. Head writer Josh Griffith will take over sole executive producer duties after serving as co-executive producer alongside Morina since December 2018. The two replaced then EP Mal Young.

When Marcus Coloma suddenly unfollowed everyone on social media last week, including his fellow castmates, fans began questioning what might be happening behind the scenes with the “General Hospital” actor. Now comes word that Coloma has been let go as Nikolas Cassadine on the daytime drama series. According to a report by Daytime Confidential, despite being involved in several front burner storylines, Coloma’s time on the soap has ended, and the actor “declined to film his final scenes after learning he’d been let go.” Joining the soap in 2019 as the third contract player to take on the role of the gothic prince, Coloma made his television acting debut in the MTV series “Undressed.” He later had recurring roles in such shows as “All About Us,” “Point Pleasant” and “Make It or Break It,” among others.

Anthony Morina’s time as co-executive producer at “The Young and the Restless” has concluded after nearly four years on the job, reports Daytime Confidential. According to the outlet, Morina was let go and will not be replaced. Josh Griffith, who had been co-EP alongside Morina, will now take over as sole showrunner and remains the show’s head writer. The husband of former “Y&R” head writer Sally Sussman, Morina and Griffith were named co-EPs of the daytime drama series in December 2018 following the exit of British producer Mal Young. The two previously served as supervising producers. Morina had been with the show since the mid-2000s when he served as a producer and director. He served in the same capacity, or similar, on “All My Children,” “General Hospital,” “Santa Barbara” and “Sunset Beach,” among others. He was also a producer on “Spyder Games,” a hybrid soap aired on MTV in 2001. In August 2021, a former background actress named Briana Thomas filed a civil lawsuit against Morina and producer Sony Pictures Television for wrongful termination, alleging that during the time Morina had been the show’s supervising producer, he sexually harassed her on several occasions. Thomas worked as a barista on the soap in 2018 and 2019. A jury trial has been set for March 2023.

It's mind boggling how this Santa photo was taken in July making it truly an example of "Christmas in July."

With his character becoming the latest victim of “The Hook,” actor Michael Blake Kruse has wrapped his run as Officer Rory Cabrera on “General Hospital.” In a statement on social media, Kruse said of his role, “I enjoyed playing the character and valued his essence. Yes, he was unsophisticated and naive but at least he was genuine.” He added, “Rory was a mediocre cop, at best, but Port Charles isn’t the easiest town to police. He was also equipped with a holster from the 70’s, no radio, and no bullet proof vest.” As for his experience working on the show, Kruse noted, “Above all, I had the pleasure of working with some incredible people and have a newfound respect for everyone involved with daytime TV. It’s easy to critique but not easy to create.” Despite her passion for Spencer (Nicholas Alexander Chavez), Rory would go on to become Trina’s (Tabyana Ali) love interest, which put a dent in the Sprina reunion fans had been clamoring for. Kruse acknowledged the Sprina fanbase, saying, “[Rory] was always sincere and had her best interests at heart. That has to count for something Sprina fans.” Before joining “General Hospital,” Kruse had guest starring roles on such shows as “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Criminal Minds” and Strange Angel,” among others. He’s also had a supporting role in several Lifetime movies, including “Dead in the Water,” “The Ugly Christmas Sweater” and “Christmas Harmony.” As a model, he’s appeared in several commercial and print spots for Lexus, Amazon, Sony Playstation, McDonald’s and EA Sports, among many other brands.

Feeling so grateful to be on this journey again.” They included the hashtag “2under2,” referencing the couple having their second child in under two years. Last year, they welcomed a baby girl named Savannah Kaye Swickard. Courtesy of HBO Max Outside of parenthood and “General Hospital,” Josh can be seen in “A Hollywood Christmas,” currently available to stream on HBO Max. Described as a “clever movie-within-a-movie twist,” the romantic comedy stars Jessika Van as Jessica, a director of Christmas movies who finds herself living her own holiday story when she meets Christopher, a handsome network executive who shows up threatening to halt production on her latest movie. When Jessica’s assistant, Reena (Anissa Borrego), points out the irony: Jessica isn’t just trying to save her Christmas movie, she’s actually living in one! Jessica must now juggle all the classic tropes—actors falling in and out of love, a wayward elf dog, and her own stirring romantic feelings for her perceived nemesis—in order to get her movie and her life to their happy endings. The film also stars Riley Dandy, Zak Steiner, Tom Williamson and Missi Pyle. Watch the trailer below.
