Obsessed

All of Your Favorites Are Coming Back to Days of Our Lives—Take a Look

A little over three years ago, we visited Salem and shared why Days of Our Lives was better than ever. And it was—for a while. But then things got off track, writers came and went, and fan favorites went missing from the canvas. Fast-forward a couple of years and the powers that be at Days have course-corrected in time for the Emmy-winning drama's 50th anniversary. Starting with last Thursday's episode, it's a whole new era in Salem, and NBC's commitment to bringing back fan favorites (Stephen Nichols, Peter Reckell, Alison Sweeney, Jason Cook, Thaao Penghlis, and others) isn't going unnoticed. If you had any doubt, just watch this preview of what's to come: See what we're saying? Producers have a tendency to over-promise, but this time they're onto something. And it's trickled down to the mood on the set, with various actors confiding to us that they've never been happier or more excited by the story lines coming down the pipeline. So happy anniversary, Days of Our Lives. Here's to an amazing 50 years! To celebrate, let's take a trip down memory lane with some of the most memorable moments with your returning favorites: "Patch" & Kayla Bo & Hope
