Smith underscored that the fans want Days of Our Lives to keep moving forward. He expressed his gratitude for the “passion from the fans.” “All of you out there, all of the tweets, emails, and attention goes a long way,” he said. “It shows people how important Days of Our Lives is to the world. Days of Our Lives is historic and it is a part of our culture. We want to keep it going. It is something very special. Thank you to all of the fans that continue to watch and support,” he said.
“We are going to keep working and we are going to keep telling stories. Enjoy what is airing now and there is a lot of cool things coming too. I appreciate you so much,” Smith said.
