Days of our Lives isn’t on this week and many viewers are asking why it’s not showing up on their DVR. Here’s the latest on the NBC soap’s ongoing hiatus, the return date and answers to fans questions about why their favorite daytime drama isn’t on right now.
Was Days of our Lives on Today?
Fans ask this question frequently after they flip to NBC at the time their soap is usually on – or check their DVR. The answer to the first question for those noticing that their show is missing and asking why isn’t Days of our Lives on? The answer is the Olympics. NBC is covering the games.
If you flip to that channel during the usual time slot for DOOL, you will see Olympic events for 2021. And this is the next question asked by many viewers concerned about the absence of their fave soap – is Days of our Lives going off the air? NBC’s not airing the soap now. But the network definitely didn’t cancel it.
In fact, the soap just got a two-year renewal. So, if you’re wondering what happened to Days of our Lives this week, it’s short-term. You can relax because the pre-emptions are almost done. The frustrating thing is we’re left with a few cliffhangers. There’s the wedding with a runaway bride – and the reveal of another cheater…
What Happened to DOOL This Week?
Is Days of our Lives on this week? No. Bur rest assured, there’s not long to wait. Then, we see angry Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal).
