Deidre Hall SLAPS Craig Melvin Live on Today Show | E! News
Craig Melvin just checked off a lifelong dream—and it came with a legendary slap! During the June 19 episode of ‘Today,’ the host had what he called one of the best days of his life when he enlisted ‘Days of Our Lives’ icon Deidre Hall to deliver one of her signature soap‑opera slaps. Deidre, who has portrayed Dr. Marlena Evans for an incredible 50 years, walked Craig through exactly how she perfects the dramatic moment—timing, precision, and just the right amount of flair. The playful segment not only showcased Craig’s sense of humor but also highlighted Deidre’s lasting legacy in daytime television. After five decades on Days of Our Lives, she’s still going strong—and shows no signs of slowing down.

The Will Smith disease is spreading.
EDIT: Oh, nevermind, I wrote that before I watched the clip. But it might still be spreading lol.
Did he say she was a "great snapper"?
Lol she's still great!!
Electa-Woman!!!
When i was a little kid growing up in the 70s I personally remember her from one of the shows of Sid and Marty Krofft Electra woman and Dyna girl
She's an icon !! I love her so much. Show wouldn't be the same without you 💗
And I can't still believe she still looks beautiful. God bless her! My mom never missed that show, neither did I.
She is absolutely so beautiful aging gracefully
Ridiculous
I would love to slap him.😅
She's my absolute favorite daytime Actress…Deidre Hall. It's like she made her character, Marlena, bigger than what she was.
She is beautiful
This is sick.
I think she was the slap instructor for Will Smith 😂
She was good in Columbo. After pulling a prank on the Lieutenant, she ended up getting it in the end. Good episode.
Idc that this was fake…and I grew up on Marlena…but slapping a Black American man on national television on Juneteenth is nasty work 😤
She is still so beautiful ❤
When is Ryan Gosling going to get slapped by Deidre?!?! Someone make it happen LOL
Wow she looks amazing! I remember seeing that show back in the late 80s! Glad to see she's still around and looking fantastic! 😍
That's awesome
Mannn she been on that show since forever!!! Still gorgeous as always!😍😩🔥👌🏾
Slaps are not gentle on TV Craig Just look at pro wrestling or the 3 stooges
gorgeous woman with a great attitude
When you hit it so good, she smacks you for not doing it again 😮
So the Friends character where Monica wants to be slapped by her, is based on this actress?
🦝
I haven’t watched Days for years but she was my favorite character ❤❤❤
i hope he slap her back cus why is this ok??
