Overview
- The first episode of Oliver’s three-episode arc streamed on Peacock on Tuesday, August 11, with the remaining installments available on August 12 and August 14.
- Oliver plays Devlin St. John, Salem’s chief water inspector, who enters a storyline about contaminated municipal water tied to EJ DiMera’s alleged cover-up of illegally disposed contaminated drugs.
- Days’ executive producer Ken Corday said the production dropped Oliver’s scenes into already-filmed shows and that he taped three episodes in two days with roughly 60 pages of material.
- Oliver asked for classic soap elements—a deliberately outlandish name, a wig, and slapping—and the show incorporated those requests into his scenes.
- Co-stars including Jackée Harry and Dan Feuerriegel praised Oliver’s preparation and adaptability, and his Days run follows a similar three-episode turn on General Hospital in July, highlighting a recent pattern of celebrity crossovers on daytime soaps.
