Maggie Sajak stepped onto the set of Days of our Lives this week. Her latest drop on social wasn’t a behind-the-scenes selfie or a tidy cross-promo; it was a rite of daytime passage. The slap. Not the delicate kind — the echoing, camp-coded punctuation mark that’s fueled generations of cliffhangers. Sajak leaned right into it and let the internet judge the form.Maggie takes her swing View this post on Instagram Instagram PostMaggie Sajak shared another clip from the set of Days of our Lives on Instagram. She kept the tone breezy and self-aware: “‘kay my first attempt at a ‘soap opera slap’ might’ve been a fail…but shoutout to the guys of Salem for letting me try.” The video shows her delivering a playful smack to Robert Scott Wilson (Alex), who sells it like a veteran of every trope in the playbook, and then Galen Gering (Rafe) steps in to seemingly defend his friend, and takes one, too.The clip was set to a song called "Nobody’s Son" by Sabrina Carpenter. There were slap sounds within it that coincided with Sajak’s phony smacks on the Days of our Lives cast members. Wilson got in on the fun afterward, tossing off, “Ahh, the ol’ Salem spank…Ye olde tradition,” which, frankly, feels like something only a Days of our Lives alum could say with a straight face.Fans turn the comments into a mini-SalemMaggie Sajak and the Days of our Lives cast.| Image Source: InstagramThe replies came fast and messy, equal parts curious, amused, and a little chaotic — just like Salem. One corner wanted the basics and kept it plain. @puddinnfl wrote, “Who is she?” and @karenames5 asked, “What's this about?” Even the mock wince made an appearance when @mike.summerfield.79 said, “Ouch.” Then came the ship-builders and the jokers. @dolphin__lover__at_heart offered, “Hook this girl with Rafe they would look fantastic together” while @migsoutloud admitted, “Lol the reversed one killed me.”Over on the cheeky side, @jerrymilenbach chimed in, “Hey Maggie - don’t quit your day job!!! You look great at doing this, BUT the execution, hmmmm. Happy Wednesday to my Wheel family - and DAYS family lol.” And yes, even the brand got playful when @wheeloffortune posted, “Felt this through the screen.”Nuts-and-bolts questions mingled with fan logic, because that’s how these threads work. @midwestbk noticed, “Aww, you hit Rafe Galen Gerring.” @cyny76 asked, “Is she a new character on [Days of our Lives]?” and @izakarreguy went practical with, “Are the slaps real or not?”Praise rolled in, too. @deepalicious77 said, “That was actually really good!” while @jchelmo declared, “Omg this is perfection !!” The classic comedy read showed up via @daniel.monahan.927: “That was more of a Three Stooges slap if you ask me. LOL.” And then the pure Days of our Lives energy: @tracysardano, “Would have been funny if you kicked them in the groin.” And @myhopefulffeelings15 enthusiastically suggested, “So fun. Come on the show full-time.”First lesson learned: if you’re going to try a soap slap, do it with Salem — they’ll show up, laugh with you, and turn the comments into a party.Days of our Lives is available on the Peacock streaming app.
