DOOL’ New Co-Head Writers Spill What’s Next – 4 Leaks Ahead of Duo’s April 23 Debut

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers reveal that the show’s new co-head writers are spilling what’s next.

In an interview with TV Guide, Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford talked about their plans for Days now that they’re penning the Peacock sudser.

Ford and Cwikly took over following Ron Carlivati’s departure in July 2024, so it’s almost time for their work to hit the screen.

Cwikly and Ford’s new writing era will officially kick off on April 23, so it won’t be long until fans see the show head in a different direction.

With that in mind, let’s look at some hints that Ford and Cwikly dropped in that interview we mentioned. Here are four leaks about what’s coming up and what viewers can look forward to.

1) More Hortons back in Salem

For starters, Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford discussed their desire to put more Hortons back on canvas, which is great news for anyone hoping to see additional key players from this core family.

The Hortons have always been an important part of Days, so it’ll definitely be nice to have more of them around!

2) Powerful material for beloved vets

Next, Ford and Cwikly talked about their goal of giving more meaningful content to the beloved soap vets.

It seems like there’s a real sense of excitement behind the scenes when it comes to the gripping material that DOOL stars like Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans), Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie Williams) and plenty of others are getting to play.

3) Younger cast gets a boost for multigenerational drama

However, Cwikly and Ford haven’t been neglecting the younger cast when it comes to their time at the helm.

Days fans will see the results of the co-head writing duo’s vision on-screen through some cast additions and how these younger key players are used.

The plan is to bring some multigenerational drama, so creating storylines that affect characters of all ages is crucial.

4) Exciting umbrella story brewing

Ford and Cwikly also talked specifically about an umbrella story that’ll kick off following a big gala in November.

After the show’s anniversary celebration brings some hot comebacks, it’ll pave the way for this umbrella story that’ll continue into 2026.
