I found out about the preemptions on November 12, which is the day I posted about it on the web. I'm guessing the people at Days probably found out a little sooner than that. They were taping April at that point, so they would have written through some point in May at that point So this was always the time frame where the episodes would get back on track. 

Thanks Jason. You're the best. I didn't realize that they got the news about the Olympics in November. I thought it was later than that. Anyway, thanks! 

@JAS0N47It seems as though Days is all caught up after the 2 week Olympic and 1 day preemption as todays episode was clearly meant for Friday the 13th of May. Any idea how they caught up so fast? I was under the impression that with the preemptions, they wouldn't get caught up for months. Did they re-edit? 

Donna Bridges is back. 

Don't you just want Ridge to say.......Sheila will you get the hell out of this room! Why the F is Sheila still in that room? I get why but it is so stupid. Come on. This is why soaps lose ratings.

I dread what's ahead for Days. Even if Ron was fired TODAY (which I know won't happen), the show is taping into October so we can assume that Ron has already written November sweeps so even if he were fired now, we're still stuck seeing his crap for the rest of the year. 

I just can't with this show anymore. It's so stupid. I don't want the cast and crew to lose their jobs but I was thrilled to see that Days was in last place in the 18-49 demo in all of daytime last week. The show is ridiculous. Bloody cakes, Sarah is now a 5 year old. The devil b.s. Days deserves its last place rating. Please fire Ron Carlivati. He's out of ideas that can get the ratings up. It's very frustrating as a long time fan to see what is happening to this show and Corday as usual will sit back and watch the destruction happen. 

Too bad that there was the falling out with Susan Helmut and Liza. There was a crack in that family. Liza hasn't really said much.

@allmc2008 You DO understand that you are not the only one who has these documents, right?

It took a LONG time to get here, but dang Y&R is good again. Can't wait for the next episode. 

Days ratings dropped when Sonny and Will came back.

What could Y&R and GH have submitted that was worse than what Days submitted?  SMH. 

Anyone who defends Days should watch today's show and realize why it has become the joke of daytime. The show is ridiculous. It is soooooo bad. Cringeworthy. I don't know what else to say other than I agree with so many comments above. I get that a soap has to be out there at times because they are on 5 days a week. But I have never seen Days this bad. I can't even chuckle anymore at Susan, who use to be entertaining but is now just annoying. And Johnny as the devil is so stupid. Not entertaining at all. Days has become a show that we're all laughing at because it is so BAD. New writers, ASAP. 

Charita Bauer passed on this date 37 years ago. She has been gone longer than the 35 years she played Bert Bauer on Guiding Light.

Mary Stuart passed away 20 years ago today. 

RE; Gottlieb. You cannot go by when Gottlieb first appeared in the credits. She was influential well before her name first appeared as Executive Producer.  She was in and out of the OLTL studio part time when she got the job because she was finishing work on her production company projects and couldn't devote herself full time to OLTL. She came to production meetings and writers meetings when she had time and met with the actors and design folks. It wasn't until she could devote herself full time that she wanted her name to appear in the credits. 

I'm looking to get rid of a bunch of Soap Opera Digest magazines (1979 to the mid 90's) and Soap Opera Weekly. Does anyone know of a site where soap opera memorabilia is given away? (Except for shipping costs). Glad to pass it all on. I thought (back in the day) that I would re-read these magazines so I saved them but I have no interest in re-reading them.

I guess nuTaylor's wig isn't drawing viewers in to B&B.  

Y&R: just give me a lobotomy now.  If you want to watch library books being re-shelved, please tune into Griffith/Morina's hour of mind numbingly dull as dishwater soap. With honorable mention to nuChance whose on screen baby, Dominic, nails our sentiments exactly about this "actor's" performances every time they are in a scene together.

Days: Ron, Ron, Ron: more juvenile by the day.  Someone should create a mask of Bill Bell or Doug Marland or Agnes Nixon and put it on Ron; it might help.

Kudos to GH for interspersing human drama with vets into the mix of mobsters and non-actors with wax faces, it helped this week.

Brilliant my Dear Raven! I want to rip that rug off of NuTaylor's head! RE; Y&R, I'm SO bored with woe is me Chance and boring NuNoah. Woe is me.

Days is ridiculous. Such a cartoon. 

GH is very watchable.

I just sent Carla Borelli an email. Interested if she'll respond. I asked her about Don and how he's doing. 

I think Donald May is still alive. Wouldn't it be great if someone could track him and Carla Borelli down and interview them. 

Days has become so silly. I have it on in the background while I'm doing other things so I don't catch every word or follow every scene or story. I enjoyed the MarDevil story but the JoDevil story is a breaking point. On today's show, I thought there were editing problems because it seemed that EJ was in 2 places at the same time and then duh, it's the devil. The devil has run it's course. They should have ended it with Marlena. Passing the devil around from character to character is stupid, IMO. Can we move on, please?

The first couple indeed. I loved Mike and Nancy Karr.

Thanks. The Getty Images site had the date as 1984 in the captions.

Another nice pic of the first couple of Monticello:

Watching Friday's episode. This is a joke, right??? They can't be serious with this devil stuff and Belle who is Jan and suddenly Fake Belle is turned into Jan? Stupid. I'll be glad when the devil stuff is over and we can get back to the real soapy drama. The devil stuff was great back in the 90's when they had a budget and a writer who could tell a story. Ron Carlivati is not a good fit for this show but he remains. There's no hope for Days getting  any better. I'd be embarrassed to present this show as daytime drama at its best. It's a safe bet that Friday's show will not be submitted for the Emmys. It was probably the stupidest episode of a soap opera that I've ever seen. Sorry for the negative rant. It was so bad. 

The little how that could. Miss it. The Edge of Night has been off the air for 37 years. I remember meeting the actors when they made an appearance at our local college. 

Scratching my head. Do the show runners ever wonder why they are last in the ratings? It's ridiculous. I had to look up what I saw. Google. I've probably got it wrong. The Devil turned Tripp into Jan who turned into Belle. I'm sure I'm missing plot points but this is the stupidest soap storyline ever.

Courtney is lovely.
