Marie Horton! Tommy Horton! Mike Horton! and if possible Sandy Horton (daughter of Tommy) and Melissa Horton... problem is.. they don't really have a reason for returning to Salem... Tom and Alice are long gone. Bill, Mickey and Addie are gone. I bet Tommy Horton is dead too.. so why would Marie for instance return to her hometown? So sad but I don't believe DOOL will survive past 2025

TPTB just killing off Hortons one by one.. sad. I really don't think DOOL will survive onscreen for too long..

Was Keemo ever mentioned by jack or cricket after 1996? https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-young-and-the-restless-the-likely-reason-why-the-show-acts-as-if-keemo-abbott-doesnt-exist.html/

Wow just traveled yesterday in Memory lane with all those amazing clips uploaded to 1990-1995 sections. Thank you for uploading all those treasures! Jill and Mimi's confrontations from 1994, Lauren and Sheila's arguments- loved each one of them! Lauren breaking the news to cricket about Scott's death - heartbreaking. Norman shoots and kill beloved rex I would love to see more scenes of rick/blade/Ashley/Mari Joe storyline..

Why was the character of Cassandra killed? did the actress wanted to quit the show?

Wow I forgot Lexie.

I bet Stefano didn't mention Peter and Kristen, Benjy, Emma and Renée DuMonde as his children in that first year 1982.

I would love to see Stefano Dimera's first year on the show, 1982. the roots for his vendetta against roman Brady, the kidnapping of Mickey Horton and almost killing Maggie..

My bet is Days of our lives. just isn't the same anymore.

it was an amazing scene indeed.. and again, it's clear Phillip did die on that hospital bed. he couldn't have fake his death. this was a terrible re-write of history and disrespect to a powerful story.

Gosh, that finale scene of May 31, 1989.. so much history between those 3 characters: Katherine, Jill and Phillip going back to 1974.. and in that hospital room, Jill blaming Kay for first killing the father and now the son.. heartbreaking! Jess Walton and Tricia Cast did a wonderful job here! the only downside is that Jess at that point didn't share the history with Jeanne as did Brenda Dickson.. just imagine if Brenda played those scenes. By the way, it's quite clear Phillip did die in that hospital bed. no way he faked his death. a terrible retcon.

Wow!!!! I waited to see those episodes again for years!!!! but is it possible to see in English???

I agree about Roman and Marlena's return during 1991- that was a great story, at least the beginning of it. And I also loved the Maison Blanche story.. and Hope's return. I was captivated! I think 1993-1994 were very good, and 1995 with the possession was nice, and from 1996 onwards.. the show just wasn't the same.

Regarding the YR 2011-12-23 (A Very Nikki Christmas)- when Katherine had her flashback to Nikki comforting her.. I understand it happened right after Rex died in 1994, correct?

Wow, just saw the Christmas episode from 2001.. the actors played out of character and fans were treated to vintage rare scenes from the 60's and 70's.. loved it! https://www.instagram.com/tv/CJHDtxDs5O2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

https://www.welovesoaps.net/2009/10/suzanne-rogers-interview-part-two.html The Suzanne Rogers Interview, Part Two We Love Soaps: One of Maggie’s struggles in the early years was with alcoholism. Suzanne Rogers: Yes, and that’s when I won my Emmy. The sad thing about it was that the audience was so in love with her being who she was, when they decided to turn her into an alcoholic, they were just appalled. We Love Soaps: How did you feel about that choice? Suzanne Rogers: The writer at the time was Ann Marcus [DAYS head writer 1977-1979]. How it used to be years ago was that when the writers would change hands, and we would get new writers, they would sit down and talk with each one of us individually and try to get to know us so they would know how to write for us. They would ask if we had any opinions about where we wanted our character to go. So when Ann Marcus took over the show, she called me in for a meeting. I went into her office and sat down. And she said, “Well, I’m just going to tell you: I don’t know how to write for you.” And that was the conversation! My mouth dropped open. She said, “I just don’t know what to write, you’re just so good, you’re a goody two-shoes. If you have any ideas, just give ‘em to me.” I said, “I don’t have any ideas at the moment, but I’m sure I’ll think of something.” At the time, you think, “Well, I don’t want to be a prostitute. [Laughs] So what can she do? If something traumatic happened to her, maybe she would start drinking.” So the next time we had a meeting I said, “Well, I have an idea. If some trauma happens, maybe she would start drinking.” [Ann] said, “Oh, let me think about this.” So that’s how it started. It was my suggestion, but I felt like if I didn’t say something I was going to be gone. We Love Soaps: Maggie was a fan favorite right away. Suzanne Rogers: She was on the farm. It was a different look. The show had taken place in a city and this was on a farm. It was checkered tablecloths. There were things that were appealing to a large number of the audience. It was like middle America. She ran this house on her crutches. She had a handyman and she had a beau who had loved her from the time they went to school together. The very first time Mickey comes up to the door he doesn’t know who he is because he’s lost his mind. He doesn’t remember who he is. He has an “M.H.” on his belt buckle and says [his name is] Marty Hanson. We Love Soaps: This story between Mickey and Maggie was so popular that you told me there had been talk of a spinoff. Suzanne Rogers: When the show takes off they talk about taking a couple and spinning it off. The audience liked the setting so much, it was so different. They hadn’t seen a soap take place on the farm, in the rural areas . County fairs, animals, working on tractors, things they had never seen before. Wes Kenney [producer of DAYS from 1968-1979] said, “Oh no, we’re signing you to a contract, you’re not going anywhere.” We Love Soaps: I don’t know if people realize that Maggie being on crutches wasn’t a plot gimmick, she was really crippled for the first two-and-a-half years. Suzanne Rogers: It was almost three years. We Love Soaps: After three years, how did the decision get made to allow Maggie to walk without them? Suzanne Rogers: They wanted to bring Mickey back to town, and they felt there was a strong storyline between Bill [Horton] and Mickey. He was beginning to remember. There were pictures taken at the County Fair. Tom Horton and Bill had seen this picture and Tom is the one who said, “That looks like my son.” That’s how it started. Suzanne Rogers: Eventually Tom, Bill, and Laura [Horton, played by Susan Flannery], came out to Brookville to see who this man was. And by then, this man had married me. Mickey had always said, “You need to get yourself checked and see if there’s anything we can do about your legs.” So when I went into town, I went to this main hospital. They told me to sit in this one office and on the desk was a picture of this woman and this man...and the man was my husband! But I didn’t know he wasn't Marty [and really] was Mickey. [Laura] was still legally married to him. Then Bill ended up operating on me, and I started in physical therapy. Bill kept saying, “There’s nothing wrong with her.” Of course Mickey is saying, “Then why can’t she walk?” I didn’t walk because I thought if he didn’t have me to take care of then he would go back to Laura. Here’s this famous woman doctor, and I’m a nothing on a farm. I thought I was going to lose him. It was psychological thing as to why I couldn't walk. [Mickey] gave me a pair of red shoes, and this was the famous scene. He said, “You walk, and I’ll take you out dancing.” This was his way of telling me it was going to be okay. But I was still afraid of Laura. It all the hit the fan when Mike came to the farm to see Mickey. Mike, his son, came to the farm, and got hurt working on a tractor. When they went to do a blood transfusion, he didn’t match. And that’s how it all came out that Mike was not his son. We Love Soaps: And I think again people need to realize that this whole story you’re describing played out over the course of seven years. Suzanne Rogers: And when he found out Bill was Mike’s father, he tried to kill him. He did shoot him in the hand. It was an intense story of family. The family was so strong. That’s how Maggie got [introduced]. The people who remember her then just love her because she’s been through so much, so many things.

Days should have brought back Marie Horton in the 90's, especially after Tom died.

So I just found out Susan Martin was played by 2 actresses... I didn't know that, I thought only Denise played her. "Susan Martin was originated by Denise Alexander from April 14, 1966 to February 6, 1973, when the character was written out of the show temporarily when the Days casting office hit a snag renewing Alexander's contract and the contract lapsed. ABC Daytime rushed to offer her a then-unheard of salary/perks package to join General Hospital as Lesley Webber. When Susan finally returned to Days, a new actress, Bennye Gatteys played her from April 6, 1973 to October 1, 1976.."

I love the characters of Lee and Liz. I think they are great additions to DAYS during 1980. Poor Brenda Benet.. Her role on Days of Our Lives made her extremely unpopular with fans; Benet's character was breaking up one of the show's popular couples, Doug and Julie, and fans were outraged. However, Benet's most personal challenge occurred when her six-year-old son Christopher died in March 1981. While they were on a skiing vacation at Mammoth Lakes, Christopher went into cardiac arrest after doctors inserted a breathing tube when he suffered acute epiglottitis. Benet was devastated by her son's death and sank into a severe depression. On April 7, 1982, she died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at her home in Los Angeles. She was 36.

So how can we receive access to episodes from late 60's and 70's?

Which year? thank you so much

John Lupton died on November 1993. I guess this is the reason TPTB didn't brought back his character for his dad's funeral held in June 1994. I wish I could see the story of Marie falling for her brother and the whole Kitty/Sandy/Tommy reunion.. but I guess this will not happen. ever.
