June brought a steady stream of entrances and farewells to Salem on Days of our Lives. Long-time viewers caught up with classic pairs, watched new faces claim legacy names, and even spotted a spirit or two.
Each week felt packed, but the pacing was never dragged. The episodes moved from memorial tears to wedding vows with little pause, leaving the cast list in constant motion.
The characters moved quickly through the episodes, from grief to love, in a hurry that kept the pace of the story moving along without any staleness. Conner Floyd began filming as Chad DiMera, as Billy Flynn departed from the soap.
To mark the passing of John Black, many veterans returned to the soap for a brief moment on television. We saw Bo Brady (Peter Reckell), Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso), Jack and Jennifer Deveraux (Matthew Ashford and Melissa Reeves), Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy), and others.

Meanwhile, rapidly aged Victoria Kiriakis and Thomas DiMera were no longer playing kid roles. Couples said goodbye from Salem, and the family torch was passed to the next generation, racing to take ownership.
