Update: Longtime Co-Executive Producer Greg Meng OUT!

Soaps being on a production hiatus due to the coronavirus hasn't prevented backstage changes from occurring.  According to published reports, longtime Days of Our Lives co-executive producer and Executive in Charge of Production, Gregory Meng, is out!

Shocking Days of Our Lives Shakeup

Daytime Confidential broke the news that Meng, a 30-year veteran with the serial, has been fired.  There was no reason given for his exit.

Meng did more than co-executive produce and oversee the show's production.  He launched the show's app -- the DOOL App -- which is essentially an online magazine and home to limited series Chad & Abby in Paris and the Last Blast Reunion.

He authored the following books Days of Our Lives 45 Years:  A Celebration in Photos in 2010, Days of Our Lives Better Living:  Cast Secrets for a Healthier, Balanced Life in 2013, and Days of Our Lives 50 Years in 2015.

A graduate of Oklahoma City University with a degree in music, Meng attended UCLA's School of Film & Television.  He landed a position in the NBC Page Program, launching his entertainment career.  He became a co-executive producer of Days in 2011.

There's no word yet on when Days will return to production or who will be taking over Meng's duties.
