Days of Our Lives has terminated Albert Alarr, its co-executive producer of 20 years, following a misconduct investigation and petition signed by the daytime soap opera’s stars claiming more than a few crew members had “either been physically or verbally violated by him.”
The show’s executive producer Ken Corday announced Alarr’s ouster in an email to cast and crew on Friday, Deadline reported. Alarr will be replaced by Janet Drucker, a producer with Days since the 1980s and who has directed episodes of the drama series.
“Moving forward, we will be implementing additional HR protocols, including an increased HR presence as well as channels for reporting any concerns,” Corday wrote in his memo. “It is imperative that we have a safe and inclusive workplace environment.”
