Salem, U.S.A. is getting a new judge, who will look very familiar to CBS soap fans. TVLine is reporting Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star and As The World Turns alum Tamara Tunie is heading to Days of Our Lives. READ MORE

Daytime stars (Galen Gering, Kelly Monaco, Farah Fath, Nadia Bjorlin and Brandon Beemer pictured above) from E!’s upcoming reality series Dirty Soap to Days of Our Lives vets Deidre Hall, Drake Hogestyn and Suzanne Rogers lit up the NBCUnversal Press Tour All Star Party red carpet at The Bazaar at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, on August 1st.

It's old home week in Salem! Molly Burnett (Melanie) tweeted the awesome pic above, with a few of her "new" Days of Our Lives costars. Hmm, they sure look fantastically familiar! I tell you what, I cannot WAIT to see John (Drake Hogestyn), Jack (Matthew Ashford) and of course, the ravishing Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) back on my screen! September in Salem should be a month to remember!

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Prissy, quick, run into town and fetch Dr. Meade. Okay, sorry, but decisions done in a state of abject panic don't inspire me. They just don't. TV Guide's Michael Logan broke news today that will likely thrill many a Days of Our Lives fan (including this one once I'm over being pissed off at the asinine firings), Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn are reportedly returning this summer as the iconic Dr. Marlena Evans and John Black. The lovely and legendary Louise Sorel revealed the news to Logan in her exit interview. That's right gang, Auntie Viv is being cut too! READ MORE

Greetings from the Land Down Under! With Bo and Hope (Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso) currently facing their 5 millionth obstacle, I thought I would post this nostalgic, tragic, but classic Days of Our Lives clip that reinforces their romantic history. I remember when this scene aired many moons ago, and I can assure you that there was not one dry eye in the house.

I'm sure those long time fans who have put up, shut up and soaked up the drama from these two over the years will remember this one well. It's a shame that the show forgot the past when they played out her characters return to the show many years later. As it seemed, Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) was to blame for everyone's disappearances in Salem, but all know it was Ernesto Toscano. 

I think DAYS is missing a good, old-fashioned tragic storyline like this. Don't you think it's time they send some people away and torture them for a few months? Who cares who's responsible, we all know Stefano will cop the blame for it later! READ MORE

Ousted Days of Our Lives superstar Drake Hogestyn believes he can run on, run on. Hogestyn has uploaded a video audition for talk queen Oprah Winfrey's upcoming OWN reality competition Your OWN Show: Oprah's  Search For The Next TV Star. After watching the clip, where Hogestyn provides a heartfelt pitch detailing how he can help viewers get into better shape and lead better lives, I have to say, I am seeing the former soap hunk, who raised one mean eyebrow as John Black for over 20 years in Salem, in a new light!  To watch Hogestyn's submission and vote, go here.  The Diva of Days of Our Lives reported the news first.
