That's what I think, too.  Up to that point, Floyd knew he was Kelly Louise/Stacey's biological father - after all, that's why he and Nola were supposed to get married before Nola realized she couldn't go through with it - but he didn't know that Nola had gotten pregnant by him only so she could trap Kelly into marriage.

Poor Floyd.  That man was so easily duped, lol.

Yes, bless his heart, lol.  I think this might have happened when they were getting ready to go to Kelly Louise/Stacey's christening.

I think Floyd found out about what Nola had done re Kelly when Tony blurted it out after being mad at Nola (some kind of mix-up that he wrongly blamed Nola for). 

Some rare clips of Julie from the 60s and 70s are included in this interview, including one of Julie with Addie at the hospital just after Hope was born.  All brief but it's good to know they're available.

The Sarah-Renee story on Days sent me over the edge, lol, but it's all bad right now.  The Grant/Price drama was the only heart-felt thing that's aired recently.

I haven't liked the writing for Maggie in a long time but I'll always love Suzanne.  Maggie overall is still one of my top favorite characters since I started watching Days.  I still remember the summer Mickey showed up on Maggie's farm.

Drake seems like the nicest guy in the world, but his pairing with Deidre was the worst thing for me as a fan (along with the writing) because of his acting.   I know I'm in the minority with current viewers, lol.  Marlena was one of my favorites before that and I still have affection for her.  I was starting to enjoy her again when John was killed off.  I don't think it's a coincidence that Deidre has not been Emmy nominated since their pairing.

See, THAT is why someone at DAYS should have brought back Dougie LeClair (God, I hate that name) as an adult.  As Hope's half-brother, he would have been PERFECT as Billie's new love interest (after Bo) and a way to keep them both in Bo and Hope's orbit as part of a romantic quadrangle.

Robert changed his name to Charles if that helps, lol.

Lol!  I need a soft focus lense for my mirrors.

DH still looks great.  Her face is fabulous still.  Her work is Lucci level, but I do think the wardrobe she chooses ages her more than anything physical.  I really don't think that matters much anymore though.  She definitely still projects younger than Julie/Maggie, not by much, but I can buy she can fight of the devil.  That being said, I think LK projects way, way younger than her age and I hate her wardrobe but if someone told me Kate was 55* I would believe it.

*I am also the worst at telling peoples ages.  If you told me Deidre was 60 I would totally believe that too.

I think they all look good, though Suzanne is looking a little puffy, but I give her a pass because of her illness, and her recent health scare.  She always had great legs.  LK does present younger, and has the most sex appeal, I think partly because of her real-life personality.  Deidre is too comfortable in those blazers, I wish they'd expand Marlena's wardrobe, regardless of what Deidre likes.  Susan has always had a hang up about her weight, thinks she's fat.  She's said Deidre tells her she's just short (that's always been my excuse too, lol). 

@carolinegYeah, my co-worker and I used to say wish we could have one following us around, lol.  Guess Days is too broke for that now.

@carolinegThey did have that soft focus look for Deidre before she was let go in 2009.  It was very noticeable.

The Hayes's refused a poor guarantee deal and complained about being pushed out so they left and maybe? overestimated their worth at the time.  The show was just moving in a different direction and they didn't want to be just Hope's parents.

They did complain about the writing too.  Even had a meeting with Maggie DePriest.  Bill especially didn't like the way Doug was being written in relation to Hope.  The meeting didn't go well and DePriest said she wouldn't write for them again.  They ad-libbed their last lines in the final 1984 episode.  They discuss it in their book.  And, yes, they learned their lessons about speaking about the writing.

Don't think I've ever seen this with a soap before.  Warning about the episode coming up in which Nick rapes Althea.

I think Alex married Renee because he had come upon a will of Stefano's that made her Stefano's sole heir.  Renee didn't know about it until after she married him.  So Alex inherited the house because he was Renee's spouse.  Then Stefano came back from the dead after Renee was murdered, canceling that out.

Renee and Tony on the night of her party and murder, from 1983.  The audience learned months later that the switch between Tony and Andre occurred when Tony went to the wine cellar. 

Now I know who to be specifically annoyed with regarding this Sarah-Renee mess.

If I'm remembering correctly, Renee was friends with Jessica Blake, more than Kayla (from the people in her age group).  Renee was living with Tom & Alice after Jake Kositchek tried to kill her.  David and Kayla were dating but he dropped her for Renee around that time.

I thought Alan was better prepared for this one than he usually is with actors he isn't familiar with.  I don't think he said, "that's crazy," once, if I'm not mistaken, lol.

I hope it's not true. But it does sound like something he would do.

It's true.  Not sure whether we can bring articles from SOD on here but you can find it by searching #Days on Twitter.

I saw some chatter about that on Twitter.  I hope this one isn't true.  It does seem disrespectful to do this so soon after Philece died, when there's barely been a mention of Renee on Days for over 40 years.

Well, someone posted the article on Twitter, so it's true, smh.

@slick jonesHe'd better hope that Susan is in a good mood that day, lol!!

@slick jones I think Joshua Benard had a bit role on Days when he was a kid.  Do you remember that  @JAS0N47, or did I imagine it, lol?

Andrea Marcovicci and Leon Russom in two drinking and driving PSAs ads from 1972. 

Behind the scenes at Love of Life, from July 1972, Daylight TV Diary.  Includes a few photos of Ja'net DuBois, who played nurse Loretta Allen.

Doug and Julie were actually talking about having a baby shortly before Maggie’s oven blew up on Julie and their marriage fell apart.  Then Hope was SORASed to a teen shortly before they were remarried.
