(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — It was Thursday, May 19, when word broke that Dena Higley was out as head writer of “Days of our Lives” and former “Passions” Associate Head Writers Darrell Ray Thomas and Marlene McPherson were in.

Since the announcement, a lot has been speculated, talked about, and dissected by anxious fans waiting to get some ounce of news on what they can expect to see when “Days of our Lives” relaunches itself this September.

On Thursday, July 28, Soap Opera Network visited the Burbank set that houses “DAYS” in studios 2 and 4 and talked with the show’s new head writers outside of the now-defunct Salem Place set about what fans can expect when their material debuts on Monday, September 26. The duo also gives us the scoop on what the Friday, September 23 show that precedes their official debut is all about.

Watch our interview below.

Editor’s Note: Please pardon the wind. It wasn’t something we could not control. Also, yes we are aware that Marlene’s name was misspelled in the intro part of the video. We’re working on trying to correct this ASAP. Thanks for understanding!
