Reading the synopsis of June 1980.. gosh, it sounds so boring!!!

I forgot about Macy (B&B). I don't understand the point of bringing back a popular character from the death just to kill him/her again so soon after.. Couldn't TPTB just sent Macy overseas to do a concert tour instead of killing her with a chandelier? Same can be said about Stephanie Woodruff/Brooke Hamilton (Days of our lives) and Sarah Gordon Buchanan (One life to live). TPTB brought Sarah back in 1991.. just to kill her off yet again in 1993. ridiculous. Why killing a character brought back from the death.. again? and so soon after returning?

I also thought about Renée DuMonde (Days of our lives).. she was killed too quickly (during 1983) and I think she had great potential as heiress to the Dimera family. By the ways, DOOL killed and brought back from the death so many characters so it's difficult to think of other examples from this soap.

For instance, I have 2 examples on my mind.. killing off Melvin "Mel" Hayes (one life to live) and Rex Sterling (the young and the restless) was a very cruel move from TPTB. Mel and Dorian had such a great chemistry and relationship.. why ending this after only 2 years? And same can be said regarding Rex and Katherine.. they were a very strong couple so killing off Rex in 1994 was a huge mistake, in my opinion.

I am looking forward to see Phillip Chancellor III accident, death and aftermath from May 26, 1989

I completely agree!!

it's sad. no more original Hortons left in Salem other then Doug, Julie and Maggie (I'm not considering Jennifer as Cady is a sweetheart but she's not Melissa Reeves, sorry). I guess we will never again see any other members from the Horton family, I don't think Marie will ever come back (why should she? her parents and siblings are all dead). I really feel the end is near for DOOL...

I don't understand why TPTB treated Tommy and Marie Horton like this.. Marie was a wonderful and original character and they should have brought her back permanently as the Horton Matriarch! Regarding Tommy.. he has a daughter, Sandy. why not bringing them back???? at least for Alice's funeral, come on. by the way, according to WIKIPEDIA, "his nieces Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) and Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) reveal that he is still alive as of 2016". ----Thomas Horton Jr. is the eldest son of Dr. Tom Horton Sr. and his wife Alice. He is Addie Horton's twin, born in 1931 and affectionately called "Tommy." Before the series begins in 1965, Tommy had married a woman named Kitty and had a daughter with her named Sandy. However, Tommy is subsequently presumed dead in the Korean War in 1953. In 1967, Tom and Alice's youngest son Bill Horton returns to Salem with a man named Dr. Mark Brooks. Mark is hired at Salem University Hospital, and Bill's sister Marie becomes Mark's research assistant. Mark and Marie begin a relationship, but the Hortons soon begin to sense something strange and familiar about Mark. Dr. Tom Horton Sr. and his son Mickey mount an investigation into Mark's past which reveals that Mark is in fact Tommy. Disfigured in the war, an amnesiac Tommy had been held as a prisoner of war until he had saved the life of a Soviet soldier, for which he had been rewarded by reconstructive surgery to his face. When Tommy/Mark and Marie learn that they are brother and sister, a devastated Marie leaves town to become a nun. Tommy tries to get to know his daughter Sandy, and wants to reconcile with Kitty. But Kitty is now pursuing Dr. Elliot Kincaid, and unhappy to be suddenly trapped in a marriage to Tommy. He confronts Kitty, who fakes chest pains to avoid his questions; Tommy soon discovers that Kitty has had numerous affairs, and realizes that their marriage is a lost cause. They divorce in 1969. In 1977, Tommy proposes to Linda Paterson, who initially accepts but later breaks things off to marry Bob Anderson. Tommy leaves Salem for good in 1979, returning only once, for Tom and Alice's fiftieth wedding anniversary in March 1980. While he does not return for several important family occasions, including the deaths of his father in 1994 and mother and brother Mickey in 2010, his nieces Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) and Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) reveal that he is still alive as of 2016.

Any chance to see the story of Philip's car accident and death in the vault?

is Tommy Horton still alive? when was he last mentioned?

Killing Stephanie like.. 5 minutes after telling Bob she is his daughter is indeed a stupid decision.

Wow the quality of those early christmases is amazing. Sony must share those rare 60's-70's episodes with the fans!!!!

Tom Horton dies (June 1994) Macdonald Carey passed away on March 21, 1994. These scenes are sad to watch knowing only one of these actors is still alive today.

Any chance to see somewhere the story of Marie falling in love with her brother, Tommy AKA Mark Brooks?

I would really love to see some rare moments from late 70's-early 80's: - Marie and Liz's rivalry - beginning, middle and end - Mickey Horton presumed dead and then return to the living while Maggie began an affair with Don Craig - The arrival of Stefano Dimera and the beginning of his rivalry with Roman Brady

I don't remember.. how did Vivian found out Kate and Laura knew each other in the 70's? https://www.facebook.com/508574279/videos/10158657628989280/

I actually think DAYS was very good during 1993-1995.. I loved the return of Laura Horton after being hospitalised for 17 years and her interaction with Vivian and Kate. she was so mean to Bill, blaming him for loosing so many years.. but come on Laura, your husband had an affair and produced a child with his mistress, so what? that's not a good enough reason to loose your mind. IMO, Jaime Lyn Bauer did a good job portraying the fragile Laura.

Clips of late 60's and early 70's are so rare.. I really wish to see some scenes of Julie and Susan Hunter , I understand they were mortal enemies.

Susan Seaforth Hayes debuts as Julie Olson - December 11, 1968

By the way, why didn't Maree Cheatham returned to Days in the 70's when TPTB brought Marie Horton back? Maree seems like a wonderful actress and had great chemistry and history with the Hortons.

Is Dr. Kate Winograd and Kate Roberts the same person? Dr. Kate Winograd is a fictional character on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives, portrayed by Elaine Princi from 1977 to 1979. Dr Kate Winograd, first appears in July 1977, when she is Head of Anesthesiology at Salem University Hospital. Kate befriends main character Dr Bill Horton, and they fall for each other. Bill romances Kate, but she resists his advances. Kate departs Salem in February 1978, and returns in 1979, when she has a sexual affair with Dr Neil Curtis. Kate and Bill's friendship begins when Bill, an accomplished surgeon, retrains in Anesthesiology after losing the ability to do surgery, thanks to a gunshot injury to his arm which causes nerve damage and impairs the use of his right hand. Bill retrains as an anesthesiologist so he can carry on working in the Operating room, and Kate supervises his re-training. Bill clashes with new Chief of Surgery, Dr Walter Griffin, because Bill thinks Griffin does unnecessary surgeries on patients and is "knife-happy". Bill is assigned to the night shift by the Chief of Staff Greg Peters, to avoid clashes with Griffin. This puts strain on Bill's marriage with Dr Laura Horton. Kate speaks up for Bill, saying the other trainees value him, and persuades Peters to put Bill back on the day shift. Bill's brother's neighbor Fred Barton falls downstairs and hits his head, and Bill rushes him into hospital. Fred hemorrhages and needs emergency brain-surgery, but the only surgeon available is an inexperienced junior trainee. The trainee panics in the Operating Room, and walks out. Bill has to do the surgery himself and he saves the man's life, with Kate assisting. But after the operation Barton is paralyzed from the waist down, and he sues the hospital and Bill and Kate. The trainee surgeon covers himself by saying Bill threw him out of the Operating Room; and Kate and Bill are fired from the hospital. Both unemployed, and both fighting the suit against them, Bill and Kate spend time with each other, and become close. They go for walks, and Bill kisses Kate at Christmas. At the same time, Laura's own work commitments have also put a strain on their marriage. Unhappy with his relationship with Kate, Laura throws Bill out, and he goes to live at the Salem Inn. Although Kate is in love with him, she also won't let Bill stay with her. She won't be the "other woman". Bill's brother Mickey persuades the young trainee surgeon to come clean about what he did; and Dr Marlena Evans helps Fred Barton realize that his paralysis is actually psychological, stemming from childhood traumas. On the day of Bill and Kate's trial, Barton walks into court! The case is thrown out, and Bill and Kate are re-instated at the hospital. That evening Bill and Kate celebrate and share a passionate kiss. But Kate breaks it off, and forces Bill to leave. Bill has a change of heart, and realizes his love for his wife Laura. He apologizes to Kate, telling her he mistook feelings of loyalty to her as love, and that he wants to remain friends and colleagues. Kate tells him she is leaving to take a job in Cleveland, but she really is heartbroken to miss her chance with the man she loves! In January 1979, with his hand better, Bill is offered the post of Chief of Surgery, and he accepts. Kate is over her infatuation with Bill, and with Laura's blessing, he re-hires Kate as Head of Anesthesiology. Kate assures Bill and Laura that she and Bill are now just good friends. Kate and Bill work away together when they go help flood-victims out of town. Laura's mentally-ill mother commits suicide, and Laura is traumatized. She begins to have hallucinations of her dead mother, who tells her to do things. Laura becomes paranoid, and she accuses Kate of moving in on Bill, telling her everyone at the hospital is talking about it. Kate tries to reassure Laura that she is just friends with Bill, to no avail. As Kate's reputation is very important to her, she resigns from the hospital again. Bill asks Kate to stay near by, but she gives him the cold shoulder. In truth, Kate is having an affair with Dr Neil Curtis, and her affair with Neil has just become sexual. Kate is resolved to leave town, as she does not want to cause the breakdown of marriages.

I think 1988-1995 are classic years, pure gold. amazing stories and characters: Lisa locking brad in a cage for weeks the wonderful and talented Brenda Epperson the death of Philip the 3rd Katherine-Rex Marge David Kimble and Nina Cassandra Rawlins Sheila-Scott-Lauren Victor presumed dead in 1993 The arrival of Phillis!! I was hooked and didn't miss an episode..

Jill and Kay becoming mother/daughter was such a ridiculous idea..

I agree. those clips of Phillip III's death from 1989 are so rare.. I wish someone will upload them to the vault. The scene of Jill blaming Kathrine in the hospital room after Philip died.. "first the father, and now the son".. gosh, it was so sad. and Jill wore red to his funeral because she didn't want to say goodbye all dressed in black.. Y&R was so good back then. And of course I eagerly wish to see again the episodes from 1994 involving Rex's shooting, death, and aftermath. again- very rare. never saw those episodes online (I refer to everyone gathering at the hospital and Katherine's finale scene with Rex, and of course comforting her enemy Jill who didn't have a chance to see Rex before he died..) and of course the memorial for Rex.. it was a really sad episode. Katherine, Gina and Danny were so devastated.

Wow thank you for sharing this article. I always assumed SR left because she was diagnosed with MG: "In 1984, Rogers was diagnosed with the rare muscle disorder myasthenia gravis. This disease affected her facial muscles, and the medicine the doctors put her on made her feel ill, and her face appeared swollen while also suffering hair loss. She temporarily left the show after 11 years when the effects of the disease became increasingly worse... Her entire appearance changed, and she did not return to Days of Our Lives for a year. Rogers returned to the serial when her health became better. Rogers, wanting to educate viewers about the disease, encouraged executive producer Betty Corday to have her character be diagnosed with the disease. Corday agreed, and a storyline played out with Maggie learning she has myasthenia gravis"
