LOL, I never heard anything like that. This is what Ron said: Jada and Rafe will want to date each other but a new city regulation prevents the city employees from dating their superiors. Unrelatedly, Talia has some sort of medical degree but, for a reason not yet explained, she applies for Allie's old job at Chanel's bakery. There's a small mystery about her.

Tues March 7 and Wed March 8 will have European soccer coverage on CBS. It *might* impact B&B and Y&R on CBS in western timezones. If you normally watch or record from TV, check your local listings, your might need to watch on another channel or at an odd time instead. Or watch online. But it's not a preemption because it doesn't impact the east coast, so if you miss it, catch up online.

So one of the premises of this season is that we get to see how the TNG characters have changed in the past 20 years. LOL that Worf now drinks chamomile tea.

I love Raffi and Worf teaming up!

@Errol @Toups I don't know how these schedule disruptions in western timezones affect the CBS soaps ratings. This article compares the number of viewers of these matches with last year, but I don't pretend to understand what it means: https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/cbs-and-paramount-break-champions-league-records-20230228-WST-421644.html

LOL. the Days twitter account referred to Rafe as "Ralph". They deleted it and reposted with the correct name.

I don't remember Price Trainor at all. First I heard of him was reading this thread. I guess I must have seen some of him, but I just don't remember. I remember Carla with Jim Craig. And later with Ed Hall. Carla's story affected me emotionally, but I don't remember details. I don't know how else to describe it. Some things about the show are vivid in my memory, but some I don't remember at all. I don't remember many details. Just feelings/impressions I had. It's been 50 years. I wish I could be of more help, but I just don't remember.

That would have been amazing!

Sonny's exit episode - the potential for time discontinuity had been bothering me. I'm glad they addressed it. He explained that he stayed behind in Salem for a couple of days to finish things up at Titan. But grrr. How to ruin things: Why did they have to make Sonny's exit episode all about Alex? Alex's needs, Alex's wants, Alex's ambition, Alex's ego. And a side plot of Leo being his obnoxious self, writing a gossip column stating fake scandals about Sonny and Justin which *he* thought was hilarious. (It's NOT.). At least Gwen won't print fake garbage. She'll only print true garbage. So then Leo writes a gossip column about Alex, Allie,and Chanel. Because apparently the episode has to be about Alex.

It's interesting seeing Nancy Pinkerton in that photo. She's the Dorian I watched the most, but I don't recognize her. But maybe it's Nancy's hairstyle in this picture - just not what I remember at all! I remember Dorian as a tigress. I did watch OLTL sporadically after Nancy left, so of course I saw Robin Strasser through the years. I guess Robin was dynamic enough that I remember her face and not Nancy's. Plus, back in those days, as I said in another post, I didn't know anyone who watched soaps, I didn't have the magazines, and I didn't pay attention to the closing credits or the actors. So I was completely unaware of recasts. I probably thought Nancy and Robin were the same person, LOL, so Robin's face was the face I began to remember as Dorian's face. Joe Riley and Larry Wolek in that picture! That's how I remember them. So handsome!

Yes this was the (mostly) cast I was watching (except for Jacqueline - the Pat Kendall character began around the time I stopped watching regularly.). After 1976, due to being busy in life, I watched only sporadically. Edit: I looked up the actor names on this photo via doing a search on Getty Images. I see that the actor in the back - Shepperd Strudwick - played Victor Lord. I don't recognize him. (I guess I might have seen some of his stuff but I just don't remember that face). I see from soapcentral that the Victor Lord that I watched (during my main years watching) was played by Ernest Graves?

I remember Sadie and Carla. And Carla "passing" as white. And the secret that Sadie was her mother. And later, Ed Hall. All these stories I saw only once with the original airings. There was no way to record shows in those days. And I've never watched any OLTL on youtube. All I know is what I saw *once* - 50 years ago. I *very* vividly remember Dorian's torrid affair with Mark Toland. I wasn't allowed to watch any TV or movies so I'd never seen anything like that (I had to sneak watching soaps when my parents were at work). And I think Dorian's sister Melinda saw them together or witnessed a related murder or something sketchy. I don't remember the details about what Melinda saw or but I think it was the start of mental health problems for her. Looking now on soapcentral bios of characters, I see that Nancy Pinkerton was playing Dorian then. But as I said above, I wasn't aware of casting in those days. When Tommy Lee Jones became famous later on. I didn't recognize him. I later learned he was the Mark Toland actor. When I watched there was only Viki and Niki. Niki was the only alter. And then later Viki was cured and it was over, I don't remember how/why/when. I saw the original version of Dorian allowing Victor Lord to die. Of course I read online that decades later they retconned it that Viki had more alters, and it went on for a while and then it was revealed that her DID was the result of her father having molested her when she was young. And she was actually the one who had killed him and not Dorian. I read all that in detail. But I never watched any of that. Back in the days when I was watching, I saw was what aired before the retcon. Dorian was responsible for Victor's death. I just posted all of the above off the top of my head without looking anything up (except for Nancy Pinkerton's name and Doris Belack's name). But it's been 50 years so I'm sure I've remembered some things wrong!

And Anna Wolek Craig. The first time I saw Doris Belack on some Law & Order reruns as a judge, I yelled ANNA! out loud, and my dog jumped, LOL. She amazingly looked the same.

Back in 1969-1975, when I was a young teen watching the ABC soaps, nobody I knew watched soaps. A relative who visited in 1969 introduced me to them, and then was gone, so I had nobody to talk with about soaps. I didn't have access to soap magazines. I had to figure things out as I went along. The internet wasn't invented. I didn't look at the closing credits, because I never thought about who the actors and actresses were - I was simply interested in the stories. I didn't know recasts were a thing, just that sometimes a character started looking different. If I missed episodes, then I had to figure out what I missed. I peek in this thread for a few minutes every once in a while. Most of the time you're all discussing characters that began appearing long after I stopped watching. It was so cool to see those few seconds of Wanda that were posted above!

Camila has been wearing this turtleneck dress:

DAYS: Bo was originally Marcus Aurelius, later changed to Beauregard Aurelius.

I don't remember but that's what someone said in the youtube's comments.

Yes! That's from the era when I was watching OLTL live on TV. I loved Wanda. Viki/Nikki, Meredith, Larry, Wanda, Vinnie, and Joe were my after-school thing.

No that was an old photo from Feb. 2020 (the photo on the returning actors thread). I don't think we know the venue yet

^ That pic is old. You can tell by the wardrobe. Those are the dresses SC and TEB wear in the current opening. EDIT - it's BTS from the "50th Anniversary of Newman Enterprises" party that aired in February 2020. Here's the original IG from TEB: https://www.instagram.com/p/B8yXrPtB42g/

@Noel I can rarely tell when you are being sarcastic or not. This is not a criticism of you personally, Because it's not just you - I often have determining in general - with *many* people - if they being sarcastic or not. I simply have no idea. Also I am somewhat linear person and I don't get a lot of jokes and I miss a *lot* of things. So for missing sarcasm and jokes -- the problem is *me*. But I have to ask: I have no idea why you keep commenting on the clam chowder. Is it a joke? I have not paid attention to which SON members regularly watch what soap, and who is new to what soap. This is a genuine *sincere* question and not a slam. Are you new to Days? Were you aware that clam chowder has been a staple of the Brady Pub for many decades? And the reason is because the Brady family was introduced running the Brady Fish Market. After a fire and other changes, they opened the Brady Pub, but continued serving their famous clam chowder. Questioning clam chowder at the Brady Pub which is run by one of the show's main families ... would be like asking why coffee shop patrons enjoy coffee. Or if it was a show where one of the main families ran a famous vineyard, asking why characters are discussing wine. So that's why I'm confused why you keep commenting about when characters mention chowder. Until halfway through today's episode, Rolf had been working nearly 24 hours straight on Stefan, in the Brady-family-owned building that has the pub downstairs and bedrooms upstairs. Specifically they were working in the room upstairs where Eric lives. Eric convinced Rolf to come to Eric's room to do the procedure. Rolf knows the world-famous chowder is made downstairs, so he asked for some. Simple as that. Please forgive me if I am filling my post with random facts. It's not intended as instruction or critique. It's just my speaking style. _________________ All of that being said ... Sloan disliking clam chowder is apparently some weird character thing the writers inserted - because everyone for decades in Salem has loved Brady chowder. So she's different and nobody is used to her. I agree that it's a very stupid plot device for her, LOL. It's another stupid thing that Brady&Eric would make Rolf work 24 hours with few breaks. And they'd let him eat only after he finished. But it makes sense that Rolf would ask for the chowder, because he's hungry, and everyone in Salem has loved it (except for Sloan who is her own person, LOL). What's really awful is everything Brady is doing to Stefan.
