In Last Blast Reunion, Belle and Chloe learn Kevin has reopened the .Com Cafe in New York, and the three of them plan a reunion of the "Last Blast Crew."

Prepare for shocking twists and a surprise ending.
In addition to this, viewers will also be in for a treat as a fan favorite makes a comeback to the reunion. There will be eight weekly episodes which will be from seven to ten minutes long. They will be aired on DOOL and then on the NBC website and app, a week later.
Around a week ago, the cast of 'Days of Our Lives' spoke to DailyMail TV and denied rumors that the show was canceled. As reported by TV Line, Kristian Alfonso who has been playing the role of Hope Brady since 1983 said, "It's totally wrong, we're still here. It's totally wrong. I'm sitting in my dressing room right now. We would love to know where this is from. The head writer just went upstairs to do a long-term story meeting. It's insane, it's crazy".
Camila Banus added, "There's not much to clear up. We're in negotiations and nothing has been set so that's just false information, that's it. It's just our regular hiatus".
