“Days of our Lives,” the 58 year old soap, has gone on a one week break, which is very unusual.
But the Ken Corday produced show, in conjunction with Sony TV, has to sort out the saga of EP of Albert Alarr.
The show’s longtime EP has been accused of creating a toxic atmosphere backstage, with accusations of bullying and touching or groping actresses.
Alarr may be the reason actresses seem to come and go on the show almost without logic. There have been dozens of complaints about him that insiders say Corday has ignored over the years.
In a recent deleted post Lisa Rinna, outspoken as ever, complained about her recent return for a short run.
The older veteran actors on “Days” are exempt from Alarr’s behavior. It’s the young actresses who’ve had to put up with it.
Fans of “Days,” which NBC airs on Peacock now, are clear about how they feel: they want Alarr out ASAP. On Twitter, they can’t believe he hasn’t already been fired.
Missing a week of shooting on a daily soap is a big deal. Maybe when the break is over, Alarr will be, too. Stay tuned…
