Final NBC Scene Of ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Cut Short By King’s Speech – Deadline

Longtime East Coast viewers of Days of Our Lives got the ultimate Friday cliffhanger today, when the final scene of the final broadcast episode of NBC’s long-running soap was cut short for live coverage of King Charles III’s speech.

The soap moves to the Peacock streaming service on Monday.

On today’s episode, Camila Banus’ Gabi was visiting a mausoleum to tell her departed love interest about a new relationship. “But, you know, even though…” were the last words heard by viewers watching the episode in Eastern Time today.

Yesterday’s episode was bumped from its time slot entirely by live coverage of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. NBC re-aired the Thursday episode at 3 a.m. Friday.

Deadline has reached out to NBC about whether today’s episode will be re-aired in its entirety.

DOOL launched on NBC in 1965, and in August the network announced that the soap would move to Peacock exclusively beginning Sept. 12. From that point on, all new episodes of the 58-time Emmy Award-winning drama will debut on Peacock daily with the show’s library already available to stream for Peacock Premium subscribers.

NBC will fill the DOOL slot with NBC News Daily.

The soap has recently tweeted video instructions on how to watch on Peacock:
