I saw on Ben Barrington's instagram that he has left the show and it made me feel nostalgic. Other than Chris and a recently returned Rachel, there's almost no one left from when I enjoyed watching the show for a few years starting in 2012. There is Esther, but I was never a huge fan, and I have to imagine with the way long-timers have been written out pretty consistently year after year, that her time is coming sooner than later. It's sad to think my era is truly over, but I'll always cherish that little chunk of time I had with the show that feels so special to me. Here's a toast to all my favourites: Chris, Rachel, Beth!, TK, Nicole, Vinnie, Daniel, Kylie, the triplets!, Drew, Harper, Garett, Curtis, Ali, Lucy, Cam, Vasa, Ula, and Dallas. I always had a soft spot for Phoenix too and was disheartened to learn they had killed him off. I struggled immensely with Sarah as she felt like the biggest Mary Sue, but my jaw was on the floor with her death. I have never been so shocked in my entire soap watching life, and it shocked me even more by how devastating her death was. That whole virus storyline was fantastic. Pixie's death was heartbreaking as well. Josh Gallagher's hero syndrome is one of my all time favourite soap opera storylines that I was lucky enough to watch in real time. And hey, whether you're a fan or not, I'll always think it's pretty cool that this show introduced me and the world to KJ Apa. Everytime I see him I have to smile because it's an instant little reminder of the great memories I have watching this show. Shout out to the scene where Kylie took Nicole with her to see her doctor when she feared she was sick, but it turned out she had chlamydia. The look on Nicole's face was hysterical and priceless. I've never forgotten it. Sally Martin was always outstanding at a reaction shot. And another honourable mention to when Rachel told Sarah she couldn't run a corner shop let alone a hospital. Rachel was in distress at the time, but I was cheering her on with every word.

Amazing! But what were they meant to actually be talking about?

They could easily write out her with Spinelli and then have a slightly aged up Georgie come to live with Mac and Felicia for whatever reason.

Thanks for the Pat Hornung update. Filling in long time blanks like that must feel so vindicating.

Heck, we could have word that the show is cancelled by the time she debuts.

ARTICLE: ‘General Hospital’ Alum Sofia Mattsson Joins ‘Days Of Our Lives’ With Early 2027 Debut Set
DAYS already has the blandest, most generic actress in Abigail Klein, and now her runner-up in being a complete bore with no charisma whatsoever is joining alongside her. But good news, if you're struggling to purchase your valium dosage, you can now feel safe in throwing those pills away and just watch DAYS in 2027!

Had to bring this great thread back to life because I've been casually listening to a lot of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's work, both classical and from films, as he is one of the first all time great film scorers.

DAYS: Galen Gering & Elia Cantu off contract as of today's credits
There was that brief period that Gering was taken off contract for about three months in 2020. Rafe has basically been supporting since the latest Arnold Feniger debacle anyway, so I don't think too much will change regarding his use. With this change, here are the 10 actors who have consecutively been on contract the longest: Josh Taylor 2004- James Reynolds 2004- Suzanne Rogers 2004- Eric Martsolf 2008- Deidre Hall 2011- Mary Beth Evans 2015- Paul Telfer 2019- Stephen Nichols 2019- Jackée Harry 2021- Dan Feuerriegel 2021-

DAYS: March 2026 Discussion Thread
DAYS has got to lock down these people! Marissa Reyes, Madelyn Kientz, Jamie Martin Mann (am I forgetting anyone?) all leaving within six months is ridiculous. There was also the OG Chanel, but I think Raven Bowens is much stronger in the role.

ALL: Proposed plots/storylines that never happened.
Matt Ashford and Deb Adair were on the show together for about 8 months, and had story together pretty quickly after her debut because he had found her manuscript. Her attraction to him is canon! The manuscript history was mentioned a couple times in recent years. One of the few things I'll give RC's DAYS kudos for is finally making Jack a real character again.
