“I UNDERSTAND THAT THE QUEEN DIED AND IT’S A BIG DEAL…IN EUROPE. BUT WE ARE NOT A MONARCHY. WE ACTUALLY REVOLTED AGAINST IT. SO WE DONT NEED 24/7 COVERAGE WHEN ‘DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ IS AIRING THEIR LAST EPISODE EVER ON NBC. #Days” wrote one fan.
“So disrespectful of NBC to interrupt ‘Days of our Lives’ on its last day on regular tv for non breaking news! Completely disrespectful! Cable news exists for a reason! #DAYS #DOIL” wrote another.
While the interruption was disruptive for viewers, a rep for the show confirmed to Deadline that the episode would air normally in all other markets while the interrupted episode would be available on Peacock on Saturday.
