Variety“Days of our Lives” is launching a new digital series, entitled “Last Blast Reunion,” on the DOOL App Nov. 29. This streaming series will bring nine beloved characters from the 2000 season of the NBC daytime drama back together for a special Salem High class reunion. Brandon Beemer, Martha Madison, Nadia Bjorlin, Heather Lindell, Aaron Van Wagner and Lindsay Hollister are all reprising roles, while Teressa Liane and Chadwick Hopson have been added in recasting. Beemer will portray Shawn Douglas Brady, who he has played in the linear series since 2006; Madison is Belle Black, who she has played since 2005; and Bjorlin is Chloe Lane, a role she originated in 1999. Lindell reprises her 2004-05 role of Jan Spears, while Van Wagner returns as Jason Welles, a part he played from 2000-07; and Hollister revisits her 2001 role of Susan Adamson. Liane has taken over the role of Mimi Lockhart, previously portrayed by Farah Fath, and Hopson steps in as Kevin Lambert. Additionally, the team behind the show is promising a “major fan favorite” will also join the reunion. “We are excited to bring together some of the most beloved characters from Days of our Lives in the next DOOL App series,” said Greg Meng, co-executive producer of “Days of our Lives.” “As this new digital platform continues to grow, we can provide exciting additional content to complement the air show on NBC.” In “Last Blast Reunion” Belle and Chloe discover their old friend Kevin has reopened the “.Com Café” in New York, and the trio decides to plan a reunion of the “Last Blast Crew.” The friends reminisce and quickly ease back into their old bonds and rivalries, but the story “takes an unexpected turn with some shocking twists that will keep viewers at the edge of their seats all the way to the surprise ending.” Each of the eight episodes will run between seven and 10 minutes and length, released weekly on the DOOL App. They will also be available on the NBC app and NBC.com a week after release on the DOOL App. The “Last Blast Reunion” digital series was written by “Days of our Lives” head writer Ron Carlivati and produced by Corday Productions. “Days of our Lives” is produced by Corday Productions, Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television. It is executive produced by Ken Corday, Greg Meng and Albert Alarr, with Ron Carlivati as head writer.  There is a video clip if you click on the link...

It saddens me a little to know that Jay Johnson will not be on Days, but rather on their short-term app series. Better than nothing for sure. Thank you sportsgirl and wendylou. |

I'm hoping this is a step like the Chad/Abby series. That if enough people watch and love the reunion, which I'm hear for then we might get these characters back. Days is missing a whole generation of people. We have the vets and the twenty somethings. The around my age, the Last Blast generation have been wiped out from the show. Honestly it's part of the reason why I feel such a huge disconnect. I'm watching it if only for maybe some classic Phloe maybe. Hopefully.

I'm hoping things run seamlessly and excitingly enough, with the interactions and histories of this grp🖒, so that the audience may want a taste of that kind of drama with the main 4 phloe/shelle and possibly jan to stir things up. It's also weird that philip has some kind of old drama with belle, chloe and mimi😂 at this point i really do hope they recast philip, if jkj doesn't want to return fulltime. I'd like to see him reunite with his father and interact with his fam.

He looks the same except now he’s all grown up. I mean, we all are….It also was kind of like riding a bicycleOpens in a new Window.. First day working I was like, ‘What is this gonna be like?’ And then it was just that instant kind of fun thing we’ve always had, that little spark and that little flirtation.

www.soapoperadigest.com/content/exclusive-patrika-darbo-to-appear-in-dool-apps-last-blast-reunion/In addition to the return of Jay Kenneth Johnson as Philip, Patrika Darbo will reprise the role of Nancy in the DOOL App’s “Last Blast Reunion” series, set to debut on November 29. As Chloe’s mom, Nancy played a key role in her daughter’s early years as Ghoul Girl, and will be right in the thick of things as the .com crew reunites in New York City. As previously reported, Brandon Beemer (Shawn), Martha Madison (Belle), Heather Lindell (Jan), Aaron Van Wagner (Jason), Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe) and Lindsay Hollistar (Susan) will be back for the series.

After the November 29 premiere, new episodes will be available every Thursday for the following seven weeks.

yay Jay!!!! I'm still so far behind on the actual show that I don't know if I'll ever get caught up. Maybe I should have just done the time jump with the show. LOL
I'll definitely have to get this so that I can see Jay.
