Production Shut Down Amid Scandal

Days Of Our Lives: Production Shut Down Amid Scandal
Per Deadline, the production of DOOL has gone dark for at least a week. The outlet explains that filming was originally supposed to kick off on July 31st. The schedule, however, has now been pushed back to August 7th.
Turns out, pushing back the production schedule is connected to the ongoing scandal (and aftermath) involving the alleged misconduct investigation that longtime co-executive producer/director Albert Alarr is currently facing. As Deadline previously reported, there were somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 to 40 people (mostly women) who were interviewed as part of the investigation.

The investigation alleges that made inappropriate comments as well as unwanted physical contact. This contact included forceful kissing and groping which resulted in an extremely toxic work environment.
He Got A Slap On The Wrist
The investigation was reportedly conducted by Sony Pictures Television. Song delivered a report to the producer of the series, Corday Productions. The report was not made public. Albert Alarr reportedly received a warning for his actions and is being required to receive training.
At the end of the investigation, he was able to hang on to his roles as co-EP and director, which upset many members of the staff who argued he was getting a slap on the wrist and the toxic work environment would remain unchanged. Many argue a real investigation should have happened with proper authorities involved as opposed to keeping it “in-house.”
Deadline affirms that Albert Alarr was on the schedule to direct an upcoming episode and that sent the staff into a rage. On record, there hasn’t been an official reason as to why production was halted. But, many suspect the decision was made to get control of the situation before it escalated into something worse than it already was.
Unsurprisingly, many of the staff feel that Albert Alarr should have been terminated for the allegations he is currently facing.
