Nichols’ co-stars, Paul Telfer (Xander), Eric Martsolf (Brady), and Ashley Puzemis (Holly), who were all nominated for a Daytime Emmy, left emojis to respond to his post. Meanwhile, nominees Greg Rikaart (Leo) and Blake Berris (Everett/Bobby) had some words for Nichols.

The Young and the Restless star and Days of Our Lives alum Eileen Davidson popped into the comments to share “congratulations!” to all the nominees. Davidson was nominated for her role as Ashley on the hit CBS soap.
Days of our Lives stars Cherie Jimenez (Gabi) and Martha Madison (Belle) left emojis on the social media post. Wally Kurth (Justin) also took time to share his excitement over the show’s multiple Daytime Emmy nominations.
“Yes!! All of you congratulations! So well deserved!! Enjoy the recognition 👏👏👏👏,” the actor expressed.
Fans chimed in to share their happiness and excitement for Days of Our Lives. “So awesome! Congrats to all! And so well deserved!🙌❤️” and “So excited to watch this year. So many from Days !”
A few comments wondered why Deidre Hall (Marlena), the late Drake Hogestyn (John), and Nichols were not nominated. Perhaps Hall and Nichols will get nods next year for John’s passing on the show.
Then again, fans were certain Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie) would get a Daytime Emmy nomination for Doug’s (Bill Hayes) death, but that did not happen. As Parade reported, fans slammed the Emmy voters for not including Hayes. The actress spoke out on the snub, proving once again she’s a class act.
Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on Peacock.
