According to Entertainment Tonight, the “Days of Our Lives” actors are very hard-working folks. “I think what a lot of people don’t know is how much work we actually do in a day,” actor Robert Scott Wilson (Ben Weston) told the outlet. “We shoot almost 150 pages of work a day. Most shows that you watch in prime time that are one-hour episodes, it takes them seven to 10 days to shoot one episode. We shoot seven and a half episodes in one week,” he said.
Meanwhile, the actors also pride themselves on staying current and tackling serious subject matter. “‘Days’ has done a very fine job of staying current. If there are topics to be discussed, we discuss them,” actress Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans) stated, pointing out that “DOOL” was the first soap to do stories about infant loss, twins, possession, and even held the first same-sex wedding. “We have been heralded for our bravery, and I think we deserve it,” she added.
Of course, the actors also love the fans. Actor Eric Martsolf (Brady Black), revealed that one of his favorite things to see is an entire family of “DOOL” fans that span generations. All in all, it seems that the cast truly loves appearing on the show, and fans can’t seem to get enough of the drama.
