Well, in a world where Robert Scott Wilson can go from playing a reformed serial killer to a reform ing womanizer and kids can grow to full-blown adults in a matter of years, we know soap fans are definitely used to change… But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t worry some of them! But still, Martsolf said, this move to Peacock is ultimately pretty simple. Whether it’s a new face or a new character, whether it’s a storyline, they love change.” Besides, Martsolf explained to Moore, soap fans “embrace change. One way or another, streaming television is the future, and Days of Our Lives being the first soap to make the move will hopefully position them to stick around for many, many years to come. “Wait, what is this on my phone? Days of Our Lives? I wonder if telling Stephanie I watch it will score me points…” There was the initial shock, Wilson agreed, but they knew the move online was coming sooner or later, and once the news settled in, they realized that, “There’s longevity, there’s opportunity, there’s all this great news attached to it.” “There were lots of mixed reactions,” Hall admitted, “partly because we didn’t know what it meant.” NBC had been the home for Days of Our Lives for so long, she said, it was surprising.

And we aren’t just talking about the fans. It’s been a wild ride since we learned that Days of Our Lives would be leaving NBC, it’s home for over 50 years and streaming solely online at Peacock. ![]()
