Watchers of the 57-year-old soap opera in New York suffered a real life melodrama Friday when the final scene of the show on broadcast TV was interrupted by live coverage of Queen Elizabeth’s death.
The last ever episode to air on the tube before “Days” is moved to streaming-only was cut short in its final moments by King Charles III’s speech Friday afternoon, creating the ultimate cliffhanger and enraging viewers.
In the scene, the character Gabi Hernandez was visiting the grave of her late lover to confess she had a new romantic interest — when she was suddenly upstaged by the 73-year-old royal in New York and other states, according to deadline.com.
