Cruel Summer
Fans are hoping that Nicole will be reunite with her missing son prior to Zucker’s last episode. The clock is officially ticking. “I was really appreciative of the amount of support I have had since…leaving Days of our Lives,” Zucker shared in a YouTube video. “I’ll just be kind about it right now. Just so you all know, my last airdate is…I think it’s July 29, and we’ll see how things go after that.”
Zucker made headlines earlier this year when she announced that she was exiting the show she’s called home on and off since 1998. “For quite some time I’ve seen my female coworkers sexually harassed, violated, and degraded as woman by Albert [Alarr, former co-executive producer],” stated Zucker in a press conference recorded by Deadline.
“I myself have also been degraded, violated, and degraded. In March of 2023, several female employees were fired,” Arianne Zucker went on to state. “There was complete dissolution of our all-female PR department. Females having contracts not renewed, or they were not returning because of the way they were being treated on the show. Females moved to recurring status…and feeling like if they do or say something, it would be swept under the rug, and nothing would be done or worse — they would be fired.”
Corday Productions, which produces DAYS, released a statement in response to Zucker’s suit, which read: “The allegations in Ms. Zucker’s lawsuit are without merit. Corday Productions offered to renew Ms. Zucker’s contract including offering her a pay increase. Rejecting Ms. Zucker’s counteroffer does not constitute retaliation.
“Complaints about Mr. Alarr’s on-set behavior were promptly investigated,” the statement continued. “Corday Productions fully cooperated with the impartial investigation and subsequently terminated Mr. Alarr.”
