Deadline reports that Days of Our Lives has paused production because of the alleged misconduct investigation against series co-executive producer and director Albert Alarr (A Million Happy Nows, Days of Our Lives). According to Deadline, a rep for Peacock confirmed that production on Days of Our Lives has been suspended for one week. The series was set to start filming on July 31, but will now begin after August 7.

“Corday Productions can confirm the one-week hiatus extension,” the production company told Deadline in a statement. “Corday Productions engaged Sony Pictures Television, which distributes Days of our Lives, to conduct an impartial investigation into this matter,” they said, also in a statement to Deadline. “After a two-month investigation, the independent investigator produced a report with its findings. Based on those findings, Corday Productions has taken a series of actions designed to ensure a safe and respectful work environment.”

Deadline has previously reported on the alleged misconduct investigation against Alarr, which claims that about 30-40 people, primarily women, were interviewed in the investigation and accused Alarr of alleged inappropriate comments and physical contact. The accusations against Alarr included allegedly fostering a toxic environment on the series, alleged forceful kissing, and alleged groping, Deadline reported.

Alarr’s involvement on set had been scaled back over the last couple of months, however, it is not clear whether or not it is because of the investigation or the WGA strike.

The investigation was conducted by Days of Our Lives distributor Sony Pictures Television and concluded with a report that was delivered to Corday Productions. Results have not been shared with the staff and Alarr was given a written warning and was asked to undergo training, Deadline reports.

Days of Our Lives was created by Ted Corday (Morning Star, Paradise Bay) and Betty Corday (The Young and the Restless, Days of Our Lives). The series debuted on NBC on November 8, 1965 and is currently streaming on NBCUniversal’s Peacock.
