Summer Twists Rock Salem as DAYS Drops Sizzling Sneak Peek Featuring Big Returns
This summer is about to get a lot hotter thanks to Days of Our Lives releasing a brand new trailer forecasting what's ahead for the show's ongoing storylines. There are plot twists aplenty with the 'Who Shot EJ' story as well as Sophia's quest to find her baby the perfect home. Plus, big returns are bound to stir up trouble, and then there's the matter of an alive Stefano DiMera? TV Insider first reported on the show's brand new summer sizzle reel. This preview of what's ahead includes what happens after Sophia (Rachel Boyd) gives birth to her and Tate's baby. Here's the story that Sophia's sticking to: 'The adoptive parents were with me when I gave birth. They wanted to take her home right away.' But Sophia is telling nothing but lies. In a very This is Us-like development, it looks like the teen may have left her baby somewhere safe…for someone else to care for. 'Whoever's baby this is, she left him in the safe-haven box at the fire station,' a uniformed Javi (Al Calderon) says as he holds the baby. Later in the trailer, it looks like Javi and Leo (Greg Rikaart) may take care of the baby. Other storylines tackled in the preview are the 'Who Shot EJ' mystery, which moves on to Johnny's trial. While Rachel (Alice Halsey) testifies, it seems like Marlena (Deidre Hall) may hold the key to wrapping that story up. 'You know who shot EJ, don't you?' Belle says to her mom. Meanwhile, those thugs who are after Doug III (Peyton Meyer) must pop up again. Because both Ari (Marissa Reyes) and Holly (Ashley Puzemis) are kidnapped. Who will ride to their rescue? And the Kiriakis clan tries to prevent their empire from crumbling. MORE: Here's what's going on this week on DAYS. After a spring filled with big returns due to John's death and Bo's coming out of his coma. This summer will provide even more, including Sami (Alison Sweeney), who gets to reconnect with her mom for the first time since Marlena lost the love of her life. As reported months ago, Gwen (Emily O'Brien) is headed back to Salem. Is she in cahoots with EJ (Dan Feuerrigel) this time around? The trailer briefly jumps ahead to November to preview the show's 60th anniversary. 'With the opening of the Dr. Tom Horton Free Clinic, my grandfather's legacy will continue to serve the community,' Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) announces. In the audience are Mike Horton (Roark Critchlow) and Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford). Will (Chandler Massey) makes another return, as does Eric (Greg Vaughan), which means twins Sami and Eric get to reconnect, too. Will he tell her what's going on with him and Nicole (Ari Zucker)? MORE: Salem's Queen of sass: DAYS' Cherie Jimenez celebrates one year of Gabi greatness. Spotted are plot twists like a darker Sophia Choi, a Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) and Tony (Thaao Penghlis) team-up, and a potential surprise pairing for Paul Telfer's Xander. In addition, Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) kiss! So do Chad (Billy Flynn) and Cat (AnnaLynne McCord). Somebody might get stabbed, and something's wrong with Marlena. What does her crisis have to do with Stefano DiMera being alive? And what about this mysterious Dr. Rolf (Richard Wharton) ending? 'It's almost time, Father.' Assuming this is Rolf, who is he looking at? It can't be Stefano, right? DAYS is giving fans plenty of reasons to stay inside this summer and beyond.

Sunderland Uni launches short cancer care course for nurses
Region's only short cancer care course launches 20 minutes ago Share Save Share Save University of Sunderland Rachel Boyd, left, from South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust, helped develop the course A region's only short-term, face-to-face cancer care course will launch in September. The University of Sunderland's Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) course is designed for nursing staff and has been developed with South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust. There have been five applications already, with up to 20 places available in the first cohort. The eight-week programme will begin in September. The university said it was the only short-term, face-to-face SACT course in the North East. Students will be taught about drug-based cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy and hormone therapy. These treatments are designed to target and kill cancer cells throughout the body, rather than just one specific location. Programme leader Karen Humphreys, said the new course was "crucial" in helping develop and expand the skills of nurses who were already providing systemic anti-cancer treatment to patients. Rachel Boyd, SACT clinical educator at the trust, who helped develop the programme, said it would boost the care patients received. "This will enhance patient safety as well as the nursing care patients receive throughout their cancer journey, a time when they will face complex treatments and regimes," Ms Boyd said. "It also means there will be further career opportunities within the cancer workforce, which is a growing part of our organisation." Follow BBC Sunderland on X, Facebook, Nextdoor and Instagram.
