Days of our lives

GREAT SAVES In the aftermath of the bomb exploding, chaos erupts in the church. Sarah tends to the injured as Xander, Rafe and John escort people out to safety. Ciara, Hope, Shawn, and Rafe realize Ben must be trapped in the vestibule behind a pile of rubble. They work to clear the debris and Ciara is stunned when Ben’s not there.

BOLD MANEUVERS

Executive Producer/Head Writer Bradley Bell on the state of B&B and what’s ahead.

Bold and beautiful

CAPTIVE AUDIENCE After Penny knocks Flo over the head, she and Sally panic about what to do next. The duo drags Flo to Sally’s apartment. Wyatt walks into the empty beach house and notices that Sally left her walker. He calls her to let her know; she’s evasive.

Onward, KRISTIAN

Kristian Alfonso opens up about her decision to leave DAYS.

MEET B&B'S NEW ZENDE

“It’s been wild the past couple of months,” marvels B&B newcomer Delon de Metz, who was tapped to play Zende Forrester during the show’s hiatus. “Pretty much everything was on lockdown and [when] my agent sent it to me he said, ‘Hey, these guys are working, you might have a lot of fun with this, take a look at the sides.’ I said, ‘Let’s take a shot,’ and three rounds of auditions later, I get the go-ahead. I’m very excited to join the team.”

DAYS: BEN AND CIARA'S WEDDING EXPLODES!

Ciara and Ben’s perfect wedding goes awry when a bomb explodes after the happy couple is pronounced husband and wife, causing complete chaos at the church. “Everything comes crashing down, separating the two of them,” explains Victoria Konefal, noting that Ciara goes from “her highest high to her lowest low in a matter of seconds. The girl is on the epitome of an emotional roller-coaster ride.”

DAYS: ALLIE GOES INTO LABOR

Sami is relieved when Rafe agrees not to adopt Allie’s baby. “First of all, what I love about this story is I think Sami really feels completely righteous in telling Rafe that he’s not the right person to raise this child,” begins Alison Sweeney (Sami). “She sort of can’t believe anyone is considering it. He’s going to be a great dad someday. He’s a good guy, obviously. She has lots of complicated feelings for him, but the idea of him being a single father to Allie’s baby is just a nonstarter as far as Sami’s concerned.”

Sally’s plans to recapture Wyatt’s heart crashed and burned, and now, after having kidnapped Flo and moved on to seducing Wyatt, the moment of truth is at hand.

Quick Take with Greg Rikaart (Kevin, Y&R)

“I was excited. First, it made sense to write in Lizzie’s [Hendrickson, Chloe] pregnancy and it sounded like a really fun evolution for our characters.

KRISTIAN ALFONSO OFF DAYS!

DAYS has announced plans to return to production on September 1, but one star who will no longer be a part of its cast is Kristian Alfonso (Hope). The actress, who joined the show in 1983 and catapulted to soap super-stardom, revealed that she has already filmed her last episode.
