Days of our Lives To Air Flashback Episode For Black Friday

In lieu of a new episode tomorrow, Days will be airing a very special flashback episode from June 24, 1997: Susan Banks' (EJ DiMera's mummy) Elvis-inspired wedding, the one where her false teeth fly out of her mouth and land in a wine glass. She's finally exposed as impersonating Kristen DiMera. This is also the one with the 'secret room.' Kristen DiMera (Eileen Davidson) was recently reintroduced to the soap after departing 14 years ago. Aside from Wilson (Will and Sonny's gay love affair), Eileen Davidson has single-handily saved the show. This past Monday, after a month of trying to convince everyone that she's a new woman (John and Brady now believe her), the 'real' Kristen DiMera returned when she got Marlena alone in a hospital room with no witnesses (below).

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - November 16, 2012 - NBC will broadcast one of the most scandalous, memorable and joyous episodes from the classic archives of its daytime drama "Days of our Lives," on Friday, November 23. On the heels of Eileen Davidson's return as longtime fan favorite Kristen DiMera, this episode takes viewers back to one of the villainess' most memorable "Days" episodes to date.

The episode -- originally telecast on June 24, 1997 -- involves John's (Drake Hogestyn) wedding to a Kristen impostor. Meanwhile, Marlena (Deidre Hall) and the real Kristen (Eileen Davidson) are still unconscious in a secret room where evil mastermind Stefano (Joe Mascolo) is holding them captive. Elsewhere, Hope (Kristian Alfonso) tries to adjust to the idea that Bo (Peter Reckell) and Billie (Krista Allen) are married while Bo's life is threatened after his cover is blown during an investigation gone wrong.

"This admired series has continued to keep a loyal and dedicated audience since 1965, and to be able to share this memorable episode with devoted fans of the show, as well as new viewers, will definitely be a fun treat," said Bruce Evans, Senior Vice President, Current Programming, NBC Entertainment.

"Days of our Lives" (Monday-Friday, 1-2 p.m. ET in most markets) first premiered as a half-hour drama in 1965 and expanded to an hour 10 years later. Today, it remains a consistent favorite among viewers of daytime television serials and continues to lead the competition among younger female viewers.

About "Days of our Lives":

"Days of our Lives" is produced by Corday Productions Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television. Ken Corday is executive producer and Greg Meng is co-executive producer along with Lisa De Cazotte as producer. Gary Tomlin and Christopher Whitesell are the head writers.

lol that episode was amazing.

I wish GH did this today instead of a random episode from September.

Basically if AJ isn't in it, I'm not interested at this point anyway, though.
batty_gal 22nd-Nov-2012 11:01 pm (UTC)
Today's episode was supposed to be the one with the very last John Ingle as Edward scene (before JI died), so I'm glad they aired it.
theartistprince 22nd-Nov-2012 11:04 pm (UTC)
oh okay, that makes more sense. I didn't watch it today.

Still, I like seeing ~vintage~ episodes on TV.
batty_gal 22nd-Nov-2012 11:06 pm (UTC)
I know, I love the older episodes! Brings back so many memories of watching with my grandmothers.

Barging in like a queen ♥

Biggest mistake Guza made out of his many mistakes was the murder of the Qs.
gogeta1 24th-Nov-2012 02:41 am (UTC)
I cant stand Guza but insiders say the murdering of the Qs was at the time a network mandate.

Thanks for posting that. I watched GH from about 1995 to 2000. I miss those days and characters.
xcollsangelx 23rd-Nov-2012 04:09 am (UTC)
I'm currently obsessed with AJ

batty_gal 22nd-Nov-2012 11:05 pm (UTC)
That was one of the most classic episodes ever. I miss when Days was that good.
kodakumi69 22nd-Nov-2012 11:16 pm (UTC)
love this show
isntdaveone 23rd-Nov-2012 12:04 am (UTC)
i want to get a blue streak in my hair like Kate's.
grumpibear501 22nd-Nov-2012 11:49 pm (UTC)
I stopped watching Days like 8 years ago, but I may have to record this ep tomorrow. I never realized how pretty Eileen Davidson is. So what's been going on with her storyline with John, Marlena, and Brady?
isntdaveone 22nd-Nov-2012 11:59 pm (UTC)
right now she's back and trying to prove that she's changed and a is a good person.

but Marlena isn't buying it and is being a bitch.

at least they're not airing that episode where Cassie is killed on Thanksgiving and then stuffed into a pinata.

isntdaveone 23rd-Nov-2012 12:09 am (UTC)

This is amazing
meganmerie 23rd-Nov-2012 12:36 am (UTC)
I am so excited for this episode. I love how ridiculous this soap is and I am in love Kristen
therealycats 23rd-Nov-2012 01:27 am (UTC)
omg I think I might have actually seen this episode, waaaaay before I even watched Days.
massielita 23rd-Nov-2012 03:35 am (UTC)
I have this on DVD but I will still be watching. This and possession are one of my favorite storylines on DAYS.
massielita 23rd-Nov-2012 03:43 am (UTC)
I just remember the climax to this story line being EVERYTHING in my life when it finally happened. Kristen's desperation and groveling on the floor was glorious. And so was her "John, I hate to say it, is it possible that she's possessed again?"

John Black forever
