The soap opera Days of Our Lives aired its first threesome scene within two weeks of leaving broadcast television.
The scene featured actress Lindsay Arnold, who plays a bisexual character, Raven Bowen, who plays a sexually fluid character, and Robert Scott Wilson. Arnold and Bowen portray a couple on the show that participated in a consensual threesome on the Oct. 6 episode.
Days of Our Lives began exclusively streaming on Peacock on Sept. 12. NBC, which used to broadcast the show on its cable channel, now airs an hourlong news program in that time slot, according to NBC News Daily. Previous episodes from seasons NBC originally aired on cable will be available for one year from the date they aired.

Section 506 of the 1996 Cable Act allows cable operators to refuse to transmit any public access or leased access program that contains obscenity, indecency, or nudity, according to the Federal Communications Commission. As viewers must subscribe to Peacock for $4.99 a month in order to view Days of Our Lives, there is no such rule for content that the streaming service has to follow.
The week before its move to Peacock, airings of Days of Our Lives had 1.679 million viewers, which was an increase of 93,000 viewers week to week and a 20,000 increase compared to the same week last year. It was the fourth most popular soap opera at the time.
The soap opera began airing on the network in 1965 and has won 58 Daytime Emmy awards since then as the longest-running series on NBC. Arnold was recently nominated for outstanding younger performer in a drama series at the Emmys.
