MECARTEA's FINAL EPISODE AIRS: Mike Mecartea, one of the two regular "Days" cameramen for the past 20 years, retired after 35 years with NBC in October 2012. His final episodes behind the camera aired this week. Mecartea, who joined NBC in 1978, was a substitute cameraman for "Days" in the 1980's and joined "Days" full-time at the end of 1992 when "Santa Barbara" was cancelled. He was nominated for 6 Daytime Emmy Awards during his time at "Days." Thanks, Mike, for 20 great years at "Days!" Here's Mike saying goodbye to his camera for the last time on the "Days" set: http://www.jason47.c...amikeretire.jpg

I feel bad for James Reynolds.  I had a feeling once Renee Jones retired he'd likely get shafted.  I never really expected much from the possible Kayla/Abe pairing that they were hinting at.

[KMan101]

Yeah, poor James Reynolds. I feel like they sometimes just honestly forget about him. It sucks. Poor guy really has no place, even though he DOES, he's just not being used like he should. I mean, he could be sharing scenes with Hope, Caroline (about Bo), EJ, Kayla, John, Marlena ... especially John and Marlena with Kristen back. Why is Abe not at all involved?

Two questions, kinda OT im also asking in the days thread: What is the name of Sonnys coffee house? And what set was redressed for Brians palce?

Just answered by me and someone else (sorry, name escapes me! i'm terrible!) ... Common Grounds is the name and someone else established that the set used for Brian's was last used in August for the EJ/Sami safe room after the DAYSaster as well as Nicole's fantasy life with Daniel and their son and also the Indigo room where Chloe met her johns and where Vivian and Quinn met up at frequently.

[jjjg]

No wonder I can watch an entire episode while fast forwading. Daniel overload. The obsession with that character is ridiculous. Poor James too.I'd rather watch

him daily than all of the ones at the #2 spot.

 

Where is the Dimera mansion? Why is Kristen in a hotel room for 11 times.

[JAS0N47]

Where is the Dimera mansion? Why is Kristen in a hotel room for 11 times.

 

In storage at the moment. Would be nice if they took it out and used it again sometime!!

[jjjg]

Stupid to have that in storage while Kristen's one bedroom hotel room is a meeting place for her and Marlena, her and John, her and Brady, her Chad and EJ even had Christmas there. When they're Dimeras and have the Dimera mansion.

Renee left at the right time. Tomlin and Whitesell never cared about Abe and Lexie before and I doubt they would have this time.

Honestly, i find it more beliavble that those people see her at the hotel than going to the DiMansion (minus chad/ej. of course). 

 

But yeah, they should at least give her an apartment or something. I can buy that she doesnt ever want to return to the mansion.

[KMan101]

I can see why no one would want to be in that house. They all seem just fine with Stefano gone, too. Chad's never lived there, right? EJ's too busy setting up shop in Sami's vagina and Kristen probably wants to stay private, it makes sense if you think of it that way, although IMHO it's simply because they probably don't want to put up the set.

oh, its absolutely because of the set. shocking that theyd rather have multiple sets than that one, but i guess kristen would need a bedroom and chad might too so having them in hotels/lofts makes that easier. 

 

ej owns that apartment complex sami lives in tho, so im not sure why kristen and chad arent living there then

[KMan101]

I didn't know EJ owned the whole apartment complex. I thought it was just the apartment or apartments? but I sometimes don't pay attention to EJ and Sami because they get on my nerves. So if he does own it, yeah, kinda weird Chad and Kristen don't live there. However, it kinda seems to make sense that Kristen wouldn't want to have a 'permanent' place, although I doubt they've thought of it that way.

Poor James Reynolds I was worried this would happen after Lexie's death.

 

 

Dannifer both at #2???
