Thanks @DRW50!

@Bright Eyes I couldn't find a definite answer re Bill Lockwood. The one on Days graduated from DePauw University in 1950 (that's how Bill Hayes was acquainted with him) so he would have been very young if he had hit records in the 1940s (or, was an older student). I couldn't find anything saying he was ever a singer, but as of 1976, he had written over 500 songs. He was also musical director on several tv shows, including The Dean Martin Show.

Oh wow, great to see her and she looks amazing!

Found it. @DRW50

@DRW50 Nice find! I have a Folger's commercial that Mike and SSH did around the same time, or maybe a bit earlier. I'll try to find it.

Teen Steven was in a few of the 1960s episodes, played by Flip Mark. He's Julie's full sibling, but Hope's half-brother. Ben Olson was the father of both Julie and Steven. Adult Hope has never been seen with him.

Julie has always been the older sibling.

I went back and looked again and noticed that Lucas' picture was on the far right on the mantel in the early scenes, but when Eli was looking at them, it was young Tom and Alice, lol.

@Bright Eyes The photos were young Tom and Alice (that we saw earlier this year), Maggie on her wedding day to Mickey (think that's the wife of the Justice of the Peace with her), and Mac and Frances' Tom and Alice. @AbcNbc247 is correct that the dance is from the CT Scan Revue.

There is a promo for Doug's memorial and the returns at the beginning of the article. https://people.com/days-of-our-lives-marks-15000-episodes-with-a-tribute-to-bill-hayes-exclusive-8751805

I thought I'd be prepared by now but nope. 😭

Thanks @DRW50

Yeah, I didn't know either until I saw the article. Another article from the following year said she was let go from Days when a new producer took over.

Amanda Jones was Miss USA in 1973 (1st runner-up in Miss Universe), and her mother was soap radio actress Eloise Kummer.

In his book, he listed them by the actors moreso than the characters. Besides Bill and Drake, they were Macdonald Carey, Josh Taylor, James Reynolds, Peter Reckell, and Stephen Nichols.

Rick Edelstein, who wrote for The Doctors in 1968-1969, died in September. He also wrote for Bright Promise and How to Survive a Marriage, as well as prime-time shows. https://www.emmys.com/bios/rick-edelstein?fbclid=IwY2xjawGbeJhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHd0BaM70Hq4EAJCYqMdUOj_HkukYjLdu0-sYOaB4WMxmzlqz3Jo45u0-fQ_aem_eVuwk62jO-sB3eAmPCpaCQ

Found this from the August 20, 1984, Modesto Bee. Looks like the appearance was on August 23. https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-modesto-bee/158442383/

Variety interview with Susan Seaforth Hayes. There is a brief clip of Doug and Julie from 1970 after the paragraph that mentions Bill and Susan being on the cover of Time Magazine. https://variety.com/2024/tv/actors/days-of-our-lives-susan-seaforth-hayes-tribute-bill-hayes-1236198164/

It will be 5 relatives of Konstantin if Catherina comes to Salem too.

I didn't like Robin very much. Her background was interesting but she always seemed so cold to me. I liked April much better.
