Soap operas have fallen on hard times in recent years, with some notable, long-running ones being canceled after decades on the air. NBC’s sole survivor in the genre, Days of our Lives, continues to maintain its viewership, however (it recently delivered its biggest one-week overall audience in four years), and in recognition of its fans, the series will again be holding a “Day of Days” fan event, featuring several stars from the daytime drama. (With the ever-increasing possibility of a soap’s cancelation, events such as this, where stars connect and maintain bonds with fans, might prove to become even more important for the cast and creators of a show than for viewers.)
The Day of Days fan event will take place Saturday, Nov. 9, from 10am-5pm at Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles, and is complimentary. Days of our Lives stars will be on hand for autograph signings, a Q&A session, a trivia challenge and much more.
NBC says that Days of our Lives stars attending the Day of Days will include: Alison Sweeney, James Scott, Deidre Hall, Bill Hayes, Susan Hayes, Casey Moss, Judi Evans, Shawn Christian, Eric Martsolf, Chrishell Stause, Jen Lilley, Bryan Dattilo, Camila Banus, Mary Beth Evans, John Aniston, Blake Berris, Freddie Smith, Ari Zucker, Greg Vaughan, Galen Gering, James Reynolds, Lauren Koslow, Peggy McCay, Suzanne Rogers, Kate Mansi, Josh Taylor, Wally Kurth and more.
The schedule for the day, as presented by NBC, is as follows:
10-10:30 a.m.
Day of Days welcome and cast introductions
10:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.

I cant handle seeing Shawn Christian in person, so i will continue to support him/dannifer by tv. He is just too sexy & handsome & you would have to call 911 if he just smiled or shook my hand. Lol
