In a major change for the soap opera “Days of Our Lives,” Albert Alarr, the executive producer who worked on the show for 20 years, has left. This comes after an investigation into alleged misconduct within the show, conducted by Sony Pictures Television, the production company behind the NBC soap opera. As the show continues, Janet Drucker, a seasoned producer on the show since the 80s, has been promoted to the position of co-executive producer.
