On the Friday, February 5 episode of NBC’s “Days of our Lives,” Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) will finally see the face of the woman he’s been seeing in his dreams in the form of actress Marie Wilson, who is returning to the daytime drama series in the newly created role of Summer.

The death of Daniel Jonas (Shawn Christian) and the dilemma surrounding who would get his heart — Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan) or Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) — helped lift NBC’s “Days of our Lives” to its most watched week in two years in Total Viewers and an 18-month high in Women 18-49, according to Nielsen Media Research ratings data for the week of January 4-8, 2016.

Melanie Jonas may have left Salem earlier this year just as Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) was coming to terms with dealing with his situation with Theresa Donovan (Jen Lilley), but she’s back beginning next month when actress Molly Burnett reprises her role on “Days of our Lives.”

Long before she wanted to become an actress, “Days of our Lives'” Jen Lilley (Theresa) had another dream. “I wanted to record a Christmas album,” reveals the actress, who has finally realized it with the release of Tinsel Time. “I’m so happy that it finally happened.”

With anticipation of returning characters, historic moments, and happy memories upon us as “Days of our Lives” celebrates its 50th anniversary later this fall, the daytime drama series is set to release a new photo book titled “Days of our Lives: 50 Years,” which was pieced together by co-executive producer Greg Meng. As part of the release, a multi-city promotional tour has been scheduled.

Thursday, December 4 at 3:00 PM, ET/12:00 PM, PT, marks the beginning of Chapter 13 of “The Bay: The Series,” the much beloved web series created by Gregori J. Martin. With episodes set to run 20-22 minutes each all throughout the month of December, fans will be able to follow the drama online and through social media using the hashtags #Bayhem and #DecemberBayhem, in addition to the #TheBay. Following the conclusion of Chapter 13, Chapter 14 will debut in mid December.
