I think Marcy Walker would have been a better Mindy than Barbara C. axed the Tangie character altogether.

I still remember them being friendly in the mid 2000's through the SSK stuff.  I think the friendship completely disappeared once the DH's returned in 2011.  I can't even think of anything recently where they shared dialogue.  Maybe something about Brady or Will/Sonny?  They do really operate in different orbits these days though.  I thought Marlena might be brought into the Sarah/Renee story, but she wasn't lol.

They shared maybe a few scenes during the 2011 return but after that it dwindled.

I have never heard anyone say that.  With the first actress to play Lexie?  Because John was John by the time Renee Jones took over.  Interesting idea.

I am probably crazy, but I swear I thought for a minute they might pair Abe/Marlena up between Roman/RoJohn after Richard Cates died.  That's probably not true, but they were pretty close there for a bit.  

Yes the first actress from the the 80s. Renee didn’t take over until 1993. Drake and Cyndi James Gossett’s Lexie had a chemistry.

When Lexie first came to Salem in the 80s I think Days miss the boat with RoJohn & Lexie.

More 1960's Days.

Thanks for sharing this! I always wanted to see some Susan Martin stuff! She is a character I felt who should have been brought back to the canvas. Anne Milbauer should have been her daughter during her time in Salem.

Thanks for sharing!

Gwen Davies! Just like Xander doesn’t look like Alex Marshall, Gwen R. doesn’t look like Gwen Davies. 
 

and Who is this lawyer that drew up these papers for SaRenee? He or She need to be disbarred!

What I liked most about the MarDar era was the introduction of Madison James and linking her to Sami/Eric Colorado time with Frank & Martha Evans. It’s been a while since they introduced a good new character like that. 

Though not a spin-off, when Alfonso Ribero joined the cast of In The House he should have played Carlton vs. Maxwell Stanton

but I have stated at length my thoughts on aging Belle too soon.  I would have made her Abby/Will's age.

Belle, Phillip and Brady were aged too soon. They should have just brought on Chloe, Mimi, and Jan as the girls. Shawn, Charlie Jannings, Andrew Donovan and/or Alexander Kiriakis as the guys. Max Brady should have been around for the Sami/Carrie era, but they deaged him. I would have loved to see Shawn and Caroline raising a teen while dealing with Sami foolishness. 

The best thing Days could do with John is just make him Forrest Alamain with Tony and Jake being his only blood ties to that side of the family in town. 

Whheeewwww can John just shut up and let Marlena talk.

I thought they confirmed he was dead.  Maggie gave Sarah something of his (a pen?) and she said Neil would have been so proud she was a Dr.  I guess they didn't say Neil was dead, but I took it to mean Neil had passed away and not recently.   Anyway RIP Neil Curtis!

Killing Neil Curtis in my opinion, was a huge blunder. I feel like they could have brought him back from “his rounds” formed a relationship with Sarah and I could see Sarah having a similar relationship with Neil as Mike had with Bill. 

Maggie has aged, but Kayla, Tony and Anna haven't and “Alex Marshall” in the same age bracket as “Renee” LOL.

Angela (Played by Kristian Alfonso) turns out to be alive and being nursing Aunt Laura… Stephanie back to health and Thorne has been in on it.  
 

I would cross Jill Foster-Abbott over to run Spectra with Clarke Garrison and a possible romance. 

I watch AMC’s 20th, 25th, 35th, and 40th all this weekend on YouTube and I enjoyed each of them. I think I loved the 25th the most with the housewarming and all the past characters returning. I never seen that many characters return to a show at once and most of them have a chance to have a speaking part. It was interesting that Angie didn’t return for that anniversary being that Debbie Morgan was on loving at that time. 
 

I always enjoyed many of the funeral episodes to pay tribute to actors that passed away: Tom Horton Mickey Horton & Alice Horton (Days), Steve Hardy, Mary Mae, & Lila Quartermaine (GH), H.B. Lewis & Henry Chamberlain (GL), Mac Cory & Ada Hobson (AW), to name a few

It was OLTL. She wanted him as Sam Rappaport #2.

Gregg Marx would have been great as Sam

The Brady family on Days including John. I loved their chemistry in the 90s from the fall out of Kayla dating Shane and the tale of two Romans. 
 

Patsy Pease & Thaao Penghlis I am not sure if Days were testing them or not when Kim first arrived. 
 

Michael T. Weiss chemistry with the entire Horton clan. I loved how his Mike acknowledged Mickey as dad and Melissa & Sarah as his sisters. 
 

speaking of these things I miss the days when Hope, and I think Marlena too, would call Caroline and Shawn Ma and Pop, as writers changed that dynamics left and they called them by their first names.

Jane Elliott and Wally Kurtz as lovers on Days and Mother & Son on GH.

My memory is hazy, but Nancy and Bonnie should know each other.

Correct. Because when Bonnie, going by Maureen at that time, and the Lockhart were homeless, The Wesleys took Mimi in.

Cassie/Rex didn't need to exist lol.  Or be anyone's children on the canvas.  I think I have asked this before but was the original plan to make them Tony/Marlena's?  And it got changed?  

I remember there was speculation that they were Marlena and Orpheus, even that made better sense.
