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

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.

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

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.
