See the 55th anniversary cast photo for Days of Our Lives

Family photo time!

In honor of the 55th anniversary of Days of Our Lives, the cast was assembled (with more than a little bit of photo magic due to COVID restrictions) for a celebratory picture. EW obtained a first look of the finished composite photo, which features Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans) and Drake Hogestyn (John Black) front and center, with Bill Hayes (Doug Williams) and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie Williams) sitting nearby.

Old friends are missing from the photo, but as the title sequence says, "Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives." Gone but not forgotten, lifelong pals from Salem!

DOOL celebrates its 55th anniversary on Nov. 8. The sudser first premiered as a half-hour drama in 1965 and expanded to an hour 10 years later.

The show plans to celebrate with a special virtual fan event on Saturday, Nov. 21. Information about the all-day event — featuring participation by Hall, Hogestyn, Brandon Barash, Robert Scott Wilson, Lauren Koslow, Josh Taylor, Marci Miller, Billy Flynn, and many others — can be found on the show's official website.
