I was mostly thinking of the actors who had died, but I just did a confirmation check of everyone. HM Wynant is 99 and Regina Gleason is 98 next month. She is listed as 1 year, 11/12 months old in the 1930 census (some sources incorrectly say 1929). From 1929, 3 actors are still living (Corinne Conley, Michael Forest and Eve Roberts). From the check, I found that I was missing Alan Bergmann and James Greene from the memorial list, so I've added those two. For record-keeping purposes, here's a list of all the "Days" actors born prior to 1930: 1895 Fred Rapport 1901 Harry Stanton 1904 Florence Lake Warren Parker 1905 Peggy Converse Blair Davies Edmond Ryan 1906 Roger DeKoven Russell Thorson 1907 Sheila Bromley Henry Hunter Barbara Luddy 1908 Charles Alvin Bell Ed Prentiss Ford Rainey John Zaremba 1909 Gertrude Flynn 1910 Rosemary DeCamp 1911 Byron Morrow Frank Schofield 1912 Francis DeSales Gloria Manners Maidie Norman Bill Quinn 1913 Wesley Addy Martin Blaine Macdonald Carey John Howard Paulene Myers Herb Nelson 1914 Robert Alda Walter Brooke Harry Lauter Mary Patton Frances Reid 1915 Tom Brown Richard Gittings William Keene Anne Loos Hedley Mattingly Bob Nash Terry O'Sullivan Merritt Smith Paula Victor Bill Zuckert 1916 Lee Amber Robert Brubaker Eric Christmas Frederic Downs Richard McMurray Robert Rockwell Fran Ryan 1917 Eloise Hardt Meg Wyllie 1918 Jeanne Bates Oscar Beregi Alan Dexter Ivor Francis Peter Hobbs 1919 Andrea King Remo Pisani Hal Riddle Doris Singleton KT Stevens 1920 Johnny Haymer Noah Keen Jean LeBouvier Phillip Pine Simon Scott 1921 Dan Barton Don Diamond Ralph Manza Catherine McLeod Gene Peterson Charles Welch 1922 Patricia Barry Bob Dulaine Kathryn Fuller Loretta Fury Coleen Gray David McLean Lisa Piazza E.A.

LONGEST-LIVED "DAYS" ACTORS... Blanche Bronte's birth date has been confirmed as 8/6/24. She died 3/2/24. She joins the late Eloise Hardt as the 2nd confirmed "Days" actress to make it to 99 years of age. HM Wynant is 99 now. Bill Hayes and Noah Keen are the two "Days" actors to have lived to 98 years old. Regina Gleason will be 98 in May. Guest star Dick Van Dyke is 100, but did not appear in at least 5 episodes, so does not qualify for this particular stat.

All the final ratings were within +/- 0.2 points of the initial ratings except for this one ABC hour: Mork & Mindy was 30.4 in the finals (as opposed to 33.8) and Delta House was 28.4 in the finals (as opposed to 26.3) It's like there was some error in the initial reporting and Mork ended up losing 3 ratings points while Delta gained 2 ratings points.

No problem! You had already typed everything out, so just had to compare the #s. Hardy Boys I see had went on hiatus 1/14/79, so they must have pulled it late and it still showed up in newspaper listings for 1/21.

Ratings/shares additions & final corrections added above.

Yes, that's what led me to checking more into him, since he was from Georgia. Wanted to confirm he was an actor and the correct person.

DAYS ACTOR TURNS TO CRIME... Here's an interesting one I stumbled upon as I've been updating the actor birthdays and full names this month. Gary McGurrin, who played Roy Hazeltine for 15 episodes on Days from 1977-1978 turned to crime shortly after leaving the show:

Thanks for playing along, but it's Ava & Olivia White, who were the only ever contract babies on "Days", when they played Claire from around age 6 months to 2 years old from 2006-2007. They are now both in college.

RECENT RESEARCH FINDS FINAL CAST MEMBER... Thanks to recent research, the last contract cast member never to be located was finally found! Michael Bays, who played Julio Ramirez, basically disappeared after leaving "Days." Some additional articles have recently been added to the newspaper archives which helped locate his real name. I always thought Constantino was his last name, but it turns out it is his first name! His name is Constantino Basile. A lawsuit mentioning him makes the connection official: "Michael Bays - Plaintiff's stage name while acting in television." Meanwhile, any guesses as to which twins from "Days" these are?

That was the name provided by the show, so I don't know more than that, sorry!

Sure, I've never been in those threads, so you can certainly post them there! Although I just research Days, I'm glad it also helps other soaps too! The Duluth News Tribune 2/8/59 for the Gene Peterson article.

Lisa Seidman back in the credits today, so maybe this episode was submitted earlier than the ones on 4/2 and 4/3.

BLAIR DAVIES & GENE PETERSON: Two recent "Days" actors finally found in records are Blair Davies (Judge Weedman, 1966) and Gene Peterson (Peter Larkin, 1969-1970). Note that Davies, who was born 10/5/1905, fibbed about his age on his WWII card and said he was born in 1907. The Peterson article is from 2/8/59. Here's articles on both of them, as well as their World War II cards featuring their signatures. [

Yes, always! Found a ton of good new info in this batch. Hadn't checked the birthdays in a long time. So some new ones are now posted on IMDB, others you have to track down some clues but you eventually get there. Harris Kendall, Kate's long-time secretary Marie, real name is Barbara Schumann! In the writer's thread, I found 2 of the 4 writers who are listed as deceased per WGA, but we didn't have any details of their birth/death until now: Paul Harrison and John Stannard. Blair Davies was a long time to find, but the first hit was someone mentioning he was in the 1940 census married to Virginia Barton living in a Manhattan hotel. The name listed seems to be Naniel B Davies, which put me on the track that his real first name was Daniel. And additional searching found the actor.

"DAYS OF OUR LIVES" CONTRACT CAST BIRTHPLACES: With Vico Escorcia's resume listing her as a series regular, she will become the 386th contract actor in "Days" history this coming week.

Never knew that before. Thanks for the fun fact.

Not sure what series or episodes you are referring to. If you could please give me a specific series and airdate, I can get you those. I just happened across this thread today, haven't been following along much, but thought I'd post a few items to add to the conversation!

You're welcome! I forgot to mention that the Nielsen books have the finalized ratings. The USA Today charts were published on Wednesdays right after the Nielsen week ended. Figures would still slightly change some up to a few weeks later, when the final books were published. So, if you notice discrepancies between USA Today's numbers (which are the unofficial "final" numbers), the Nielsen books depict the actual final ratings. For example, the only change in ratings on 5/9/91 between the USA Today chart and Nielsen book is The SImpsons, which had a 12.9 in USA Today but ended with a final rating of 13.0.
