With all the thrills happening lately on Days of our Lives, the stories feel both classic and current simultaneously. A great example is the drama created when it looked like Johnny and Chanel wouldn’t be able to adopt Baby Tesoro. That’s changed and they’ve been given the green light, but now Leo, Javi, and the Hernandez clan are headed for heartbreak as they have to give the child up. It’s that unpredictable mix of drama, happiness, and sorrow that has made fans return for over six decades. And now, the show’s inviting fans to join the celebration in real time. Ahead of its milestone 60th anniversary, DAYS took to social media with an open call that had long-time viewers buzzing.

An Invitation to Fans Everywhere
On Instagram, the show wrote, “Drop your questions for your favorite Days of our Lives cast members in the comments below, and tune in live to celebrate the show’s 60th anniversary with the E! CreatorCam on Saturday, November 8th!”
The post landed like a party invite fans had been waiting for — proof that the DAYS team hasn’t forgotten the people who’ve been with them through every wedding, resurrection, and possession. “I am so glad John-Paul Lavoisier is back, he is a wonderful actor and easy on the eyes❤️,” one fan wrote, setting the tone for the love-fest that followed. Another viewer chimed in, “James Reynolds. Fav storyline over the years. Also, Abe needs to ease up on Paulina 🤗.”
The excitement wasn’t just nostalgia; it was pure connection. “Philip… John-Paul Lavoisier. Absolute favorite on DOOL. His wit and comedic elements are spot on,” another follower posted. “Not really a question, just a shout-out and hope he stays on for a while.” It was the kind of comment section that reads like a family reunion — scattered, affectionate, and overflowing with memories.
Fans Take the Mic
“To Greg Rikaart, which storyline for Leo has been your favorite yet? Also, you’re my favorite on the show,” a follower asked. Another wrote, “For Deidre Hall, what was the most fun or exciting ‘getting back together’ storyline for John and Marlena! ⏳”
The thread filled fast with tributes and curiosity. “Please ask Deidre Hall what would be the most special storyline that you and Drake Hogestyn did on Days of our Lives? I love all of them,” one viewer said. “For Paul and Linsey… would you like to see Xander and Sara become a super couple in the tradition of the super couples of yesteryear?” another added.
And one follower truly appreciates the show, warts and all, with the insightful question, “For Carson and JP – both characters have artificial body parts (eye, leg). I know sassy fans love to point out when they show both of Philip’s bare legs or when Johnny looks through a camera with the wrong eye. 😂 But those things aside, as actors, how do you approach trying to keep those things in mind and factor these usually-invisible character traits into your performances?” (Find out how Hall traded Salem for Starfleet.)
