Days of Our Lives: Entire Cast Released From Contract

The producers of Days of Our Lives have released the entire cast from their contracts, with the venerable soap set to go on an indefinite hiatus at month’s end. While the NBC sudser has not been cancelled, the unprecedented — and decidedly ominous — move comes at a precarious time for ratings-challenged Days and the vanishing soap genre as a whole. It also comes as Sony Pictures Television and NBC are in negotiations to renew series.

Days of Our Lives (also stylized as Days of our Lives; often abbreviated to DOOL or Days) is an American daytime soap opera broadcast on NBC. It is one of the longest-running scripted television programs in the world, airing nearly every weekday since November 8, 1965. The series primarily focuses on its core families, the Hortons and the Bradys. Several other families have been added to the cast, and many of them still appear on the show. Frances Reid, the matriarch of the series' Horton family remained with the show from its inception to her death on February 3, 2010, although her last formal appearance occurred in December 2007. Suzanne Rogers is the longest-serving member of the program's current cast and the longest-serving current cast member of an ongoing American soap opera, having appeared on the show since August 1973. (Rogers celebrated 40 years on Days of Our Lives in 2013.) Susan Seaforth Hayes – the second longest-serving actor currently on the program – is the only cast member to appear on Days of Our Lives in all six decades it has been on the air, having made her first appearance in December 1968 as a recast of original character Julie Olson.

On November 12, 2019, the show entered a planned four month production hiatus. The purpose is to change the production schedule from writing and filming six months in advance of broadcast to just two months in advance. This will allow the program's writers to have better control on story lines as they unfold. All cast-members were released from their contracts in order to save on payroll until filming resumes in March 2020. Earlier in 2019, Days of Our Lives was renewed through September 2020; NBC will continue to air new but previously recorded episodes until then, although the series may be in danger of cancellation by the network if the show's cast does not agree to lower salaries.
