Days of Our Lives is officially taking a page right out of the reality TV playbook! The daytime soap just dropped a viral, Love Island-inspired promotional reel across its social media channels, aiming to catch the eye of reality fans looking for their next drama fix.
Key Takeaways
- Days of Our Lives has released a Love Island-inspired promo.
- The cast pokes fun at Salem’s bombshells and recouplings.
- Brytni Sarpy makes a mysterious appearance.
- The promo highlights secret hookups and Salem’s many returns.
- And yes, the Brady Pub fries get a shoutout.
Sharing the hilarious video, the show captioned, “Love Island may be over, but the bombshells, messy recouplings, secret marriages, and questionable intentions never stop in Salem. 👀 And don’t blink otherwise you may miss a big surprise… Trade the island for Salem and stream Days of our Lives exclusively on Peacock.”
The video even uses a voiceover style that mirrors the familiar narration of Love Island voiceover star Ian Stirling.
Robert Scott Wilson, who plays Alex Kiriakis, kicks things off by asking the “Love Islanders” if they’re already missing the villa.
“Fear not, Islanders,” chimed in Abigail Klein (Stephanie Johnson). Sitting on a couch, Casey Moss (JJ Deveraux) adds, “because Peacock has another show with…” before Conner Floyd (Chad DiMera) opens the doors to the DiMera mansion, teasing, “Villas, where you can always pull someone for a chat.”
Shirtless Guys, Secret Hookups, and a Mysterious Arrival
The promo then starts ticking off all the things Love Island fans should supposedly expect from Salem.
Shirtless men? Salem has them.
Recouplings and uncouplings? Absolutely.
Bombshells? They’ve got those too.
Speaking of bombshells, the clip gives an exciting shout-out to Brytni Sarpy, who is seen making a grand entrance right into the DiMera mansion! While her exact character details are still being kept under tight wraps, her arrival is bound to shake things up.
The rest of the cast jumped in to share what makes Salem just as juicy as any reality TV villa:
- Paul Telfer (Xander Kiriakis): “Men from the UK with adorable accents, we’ve got that too.” Fair point, Xander.
- Emily O’Brien (Gwen Rizczech): “Secret hookups in the hideaway… or the Salem Inn.”
- Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez): “And we have staircases to make a grand entrance to.” Because if you’re going to make an entrance, you might as well do it properly.
- Then Jackée Harry, who plays Paulina Price, delivers one of the most Salem-specific selling points of all: “People coming back from the dead!”
- Sal Stowers (Lani Price Grant): “Okay, Love Islanders don’t know that one.”
- AnnaLynne McCord (Cat Greene), who recently got married: “And enough twists to make Casa Amor look relaxing.”
Rounding out the pitch, the cast promises, “So, Love Island fans, your next obsession is waiting! Welcome to Salem! We sincerely hope you tune in to Days of Our Lives. New episodes drop every weekday exclusively on Peacock.”
Of course, it wouldn’t be a classic soap promo without a funny wrap-up! Right at the end, Eric Martsolf (Brady Black) interrupts to set the record straight: “Hold up! We got to tell everybody that we got the best damn fries at the Brady Pub.”
