Days of Our Lives
News (Page 7)

Countless soap opera characters have become unexpected fathers throughout the history of daytime television.

But EJ may be the first to go through the experience twice... at the same time.

This week on Days of Our Lives, EJ will become a daddy — twice over — when both Nicole and Sami learn they're pregnant. Surprise, surprise!

EJ: Has sperm, will travel.

"I'm very excited that my character is pregnant," said Arianne Zucker (Nicole).

But are you excited for this development? Discuss it now in our Days of our Lives forum.

Someone is knocked up, and someone is contemplating a political run, next week on Days of Our Lives...

• Nicole is preggers!

• Max (Darin Brooks, pictured) and Melanie suspect one another of murdering their father.

• Abe thinks about running for Mayor.

• Kayla takes over for Lexie as Chief of Staff at the hospital.

As previously reported, former Passions actor Galen Gering has signed on for a role on Days of Our Lives.

We've now learned that Gering's character will mostly appear opposite Alison Sweeney's character Sami. The character will be an FBI agent linked to Salem's other bad girl Nicole (Arianne Zucker), along with her sleazy, professor hubby Trent (Roscoe Born).

Here's a mini Days of Our Lives spoiler on the developments ahead:

Trent gets whacked, which places Mrs. Robbins at the top of the long list of suspects. Gering's character will be leading the investigation, as he finds himself irresistable to Nicole's charms. Well, who wouldn't be?

Here's exciting news for both Days of Our Lives fans and Passions fans:

Galen Gering (pictured, formerly Luis on Passions) has been been hired on Days of Our Lives to play an FBI agent; moreover, Eric Martsolf (formerly Ethan, Passions) will come aboard as a recast for Brady.

Sorry, Sami, it's time to mature. So goes one of next week's Days of Our Lives spoilers...

• Bo and Hope confront Nicole with their knowledge of her marriage to Trent.

• Marlena to Sami: it's time to grow up.

• Theo throws a temper tantrum in front of EJ.

• Chloe wonders (Nadia Bjorlin, pictured) if Lucas still loves Sami.

It looks to be a tough road ahead for Nicole next week on Days of Our Lives.

That's what happens when secret marriages get exposed.

As Arianne Zucker (pictured) told Soap Opera Weekly, over the next few episodes, Bo and Hope learn that Nicole is still married to Trent .

"Nicole could lose everything — her whole divorce settlement from Victor," said Zucker.

What will happen? Talk about it now on our Days of Our Lives forum.

Arianne Zucker stars as Nicole on Days of Our Lives.

A custody ruling leads next week's story lines on Days of Our Lives...

• Lucas is awarded joint custody of Allie.

• Steve (Stephen Nichols, pictured) asks Hope to run a background check on Trent.

• Lexie is called before the hospital board to review her position as Chief of Staff. Uh-oh!

• Victor learns the truth about his marriage to Nicole.

According to Daytime Confidential, we'll soon be saying goodbye to the character of Morgan on Days of Our Lives.

Across Kristen Renton is leaving the show, as reports say her character is headed to Chicago. It may not have been Renton's falt, but Morgan never really caught on with fans.

Beginning September 18, All My Children alum will Matthew Borlenghi joins Days of Our Lives.

He'll play the Mayor of Salem, as the soap opera veteran recently talked about the part with TVGuide.com. Here are exceprts from that interview:

TVGuide.com: As you get ready to arrive at Days of Our Lives, what can you tell us about your new character?
Matthew Borlenghi: All that I can tell you without ending up in the principal's office is I'm playing a dicey mayor, Anthony Marino, who may be a bit unstable, and is coming and shaking things up in the Salem police department. The question is really to what end? What's his motivation? Whether he's doing things for the good of Salem, or for the good of Anthony Marino.

TVGuide.com: In what ways will he be unstable?
Borlenghi: Maybe a little bit psychologically, certainly in as far as his motivation and the way he treats the high ranks, the upper echelon of the department. I think he's a big fan of his power.

TVGuide.com: How much have you shot so far? Which characters are you impacting the most so far?
Borlenghi: I feel comfortable saying that right now, what I've shot so far, is having fairly substantial impact on the Brady family and Commissioner Carver.

Let's take a look into next week's Days of Our Lives. What will go down to begin September 2008?

• Victor pays a visit to Stefano.

• Chelsea (Rachel Melvin) decides to move on... sans Daniel!

• Max and Melanie have a discussion about each other's upbringings.

• Nicole befriends John.
