Ken Corday also confirmed and assured watchers that it’s going to be the same show with the same excitement.
Corday said in a statement, “You will probably be getting more show content after February of next year because we don’t have to limit the show to 38 minutes with 22 minutes of commercial time.
On Peacock, with the [Premium] subscription, you get four minutes of commercial time [per episode], and with the higher [Premium Plus] subscription, you get no commercial time. So, that’s good.”
Camila Banus said on the soap opera, “It means the world to me to continue this journey of representation on such an iconic show, like Days of our Lives. I love Gabi so much.
She has been through so much but her essence and spirit always remain the same. There are always aspects of her that involve her culture in storylines or into moments and that is so special to me that we get to portray that on camera for the fans to see.”
She added, “Yeah, it’s been amazing. I will have to be honest and tell you there’s really been no change. Our Executive Producer, Ken Corday, told us it’s the same show, the same way we shoot, nothing’s gonna change and that’s exactly how it’s been.
We are the same exact show, we just have a new home and I think fans like it. I’ve been seeing a lot of memes of people saying that they’ve been waiting in the morning for an episode to come out and just being able to have all the episodes there to be able to watch however you want, whenever you want is fantastic. I think fans are loving it.
Behind the scenes, it’s awesome. We get to also create cool content and spin-off shows now. it’s amazing to be able to explore the world of Salem.”
