Keep reading to see their picks and watch The days of our lives streaming exclusively on Peacock, with new episodes available weekdays.

Raven Bowens

“Daniel Day-Lewis is my favorite,” said the actress, who plays Chanel Dupree. We. “Maybe he was Stefano DiMera’s enemy or best friend or something. He’s basically coming to take Stefano’s place. Maybe he’s Stefano’s long-lost brother, and he has the same kind of mob boss energy. He’s going to retire and he’s going to come back to Days. This is what I manifest. Daniel Days-Lewis.

Carson Boatman

“Man, there are so many people I would love to work with,” admitted the actor, who plays Johnny DiMera. “It’s a really difficult question. Brad PittI guess. Speaking of Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston would make sense. His father played Victor Kiriakis. That would be fun.

JP Lavoisier

“I would like Weird Al Yankovicor the funny thing is my favorite solo artist is Pierre-Gabriel. If we ever had Peter Gabriel on the show? Epic,” said the actor, who plays Philip Kiriakis. We. “I was a big fan of the series Shine when it was on. And the two main actresses, Alison Brie And Betty Gilpinblew me away. So they would be a fun guest star. I just thought their talent was incredible.

Abigail Klein

“I’m going to say what just came to mind. I’m going with it Larry David“, Klein revealed to We. “Imagine Larry doing soap operas as himself. That could be fun. And imagine a day in Salem, maybe through his eyes. It would be absolutely hysterical. He would have the most amazing observations. And so for that, I think he would have a great time.”

Robert Scott Wilson

“I want to bring my boy, Leo. Bring Leonardo DiCaprio“said the actor, who plays Alex Kiriakis. We. “I want him to come and have a little taste of the day. You know, he’s been the biggest name in cinema for quite a long time, so let him have a taste of ours for a little while. Everyone would fall in love with Leo.”

Deidre Room

“I was going to say my son. He would be great and he’s done a lot of theater. It would be fun,” Hall told We. “He went to a university in France, and he did a lot of theater and a lot of dance. He’s very talented and experienced. I was surprised that he could sing, because I can’t sing. Where did that come from?”

Martha Madison

“It’s so hard because I’ve worked with some really cool guest stars, really,” said the actress, who plays Belle Black. We. “I mean, Dick Van DykeGo on. How to beat that? I’m a big Swiftie, so let’s go Taylor Swift on. We will make bracelets together. We will get rid of it. She would totally go for EJ [Dan Feuerriegel]. He’s big.

Cherie Jimenez

If you ask Jimenez, she would love to talk about the legends! “Susan Lucci! Are you kidding me? I would love for her to come,” said the actress, who plays Gabi Hernandez. We. “I don’t know what she would do. Maybe work together, maybe something Gabi chic, like, she has her own empire, but Susan Lucci. What a dream. She is perfection. I love her so much.”

Tyler Andrews

I would like to John Boyega make a little character on The days of our lives“, he shared. “Maybe a little bad guy that comes in and maybe actually interacts with [my character] Theodore Carver. That would be great. Yeah, that would be fantastic.

Dan Feuerriegel

“I would love – because he has started a bit in this field – to have George Clooney. I would love for George to come,” Feuerriegel said We. “I would love for everyone who has a role to start in soap operas and then move on to very different things. John Stamos or even Jennifer Aniston. She is very linked to the series. It’s fun. Maybe Leonardo DiCaprio did soap operas? There are so many people.

Eric Martsolf

“I think once she’s done hunting dinosaurs, I think Scarlett Johansson I can come and spend time with [my character] Brady a little bit,” Martsolf joked. We. “Even though it might be more dangerous to be with Brady Black than a fucking Raptor.”

Greg Rikaart

Rikaart wouldn’t mind another muscular actor joining the show. “I would choose Peoplethe sexiest man in the world, Jonathan Bailey“he said.”[He’d be] pining after me. That’s what I see him doing.

Conner Floyd

When it comes to guest stars, Floyd believes it’s go big or go home. “Maybe Bradley Cooper. Let’s get Quentin Tarantino“, he shared. “I’m going to hook him up for his next movie that he’s doing. My list is too long. I’ll be here all day.

AnnaLynne McCord

“The love of my life, Danny Ciprianiwas the best rugby player to have played this match. He was a fly-half in rugby union in the United Kingdom. I used to go to his games in the UK and he’s amazing to watch,” McCord said. We. “I’d like to do a story with my hot man. I’ll just throw that one in. Danny Cipriani, everyone. Everyone in the UK knows why. The days of our lives2026 baby.

Emily O’Brien

“Kate Winsletshe’s just iconic. I’m addicted to watching her,” said the actress, who plays Gwen Rizczech. We. “I think everything she does is intentional. I would probably look at her in awe. She’s a master to me.”

James Reynolds

“I never thought about it until that moment. I thought about athletes, because I’m an old sportsman and I love sports,” Reynolds said first. We. “I think the president Barack Obama that would be pretty cool. Wouldn’t that be great? I think he should be an old friend of [my character] Abe Carver he knew in Chicago. When I left the show, the character had gone to Chicago, and I think he just came to Salem to see what’s going on, do anything to help and share a good word.

Linsey Godfrey

“I would be really excited if Sam Rockwell came. I think he would have a lot of fun in Days,” Godfrey said. We. “I think he would really enjoy the silliness. So that would be my dream.”
