Over the past couple of weeks, fans of Days of our Lives have been dealing with unfortunate news regarding the departure of several cast members.  Following reports that veterans Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans) and Drake Hogestyn (John Black) have been let go from the NBC soap, rumors have surged that at least five other names are on their way out.  The most recent ousting news involved Blake Berris , who is expected to leave his character Nick in next month. In spite of everything, Peter Reckell , who plays Bo Brady on the soap, remains optimistic about the future direction of Days of our Lives.

Just like her character Sami Brady on Days of our Lives , Alison Sweeney is pregnant and due to give birth to her second child.  Recently, the 31-year-old actress made a guest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on December 3 and appeared to be going into labor during her interview with Ellen.  While an online report suggested that The Biggest Loser host actually went into labor, a rep for the actress said it was merely part of the show. "I was a guest on Ellen and they asked me if I would help them play a practical joke. I have learned since then that when they reveal the 12 days of [Christmas] giveaways, they try and set up a stunt that ends up being cut off or not happening because a bell rings and then out comes a dancing character and Ellen gives away these amazing gifts to the audience. So, they asked me if I would start to feel labor pains and asked me to do it coming out of the commercial break,” Sweeney explained to Soap Opera Digest.
