Days of our Lives on NBC/ Peacock prepares to bid farewell to the beloved character, John Black, following the real-life passing of actor Drake Hogestyn last fall. Ken Corday, executive producer, reveals the heartrending decision to film John Black's death while Hogestyn was still alive, a move that was difficult for both cast and crew. Stephen Nichols, who plays Steve Johnson, describes filming the death of his on-and-off-screen friend as the toughest thing he has ever done. Deidre Hall, who plays Marlena, John's wife, shares her struggle to separate her personal feelings about Hogestyn's illness from her performance. 

DOOL sees the storyline will culminate with the funeral of John Black, expected to take place in June 2025, and will feature flashbacks spanning the decades-long tenure of Hogestyn on the show. Alongside regular cast members, the funeral will see the return of several familiar faces including Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy), Paul Narita (Christopher Sean), Andrew Donovan (Colton Little), and Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) among others.
