JAS0N47

You're welcome! And I figured out why I had these random pages, since they match up to the same pages in Bo's debut. I must have asked for the Bo-specific pages in 4442, but was originally accidentally sent those page #s from 4441. So, this is thanks to a long-ago mistake!

The lead up to the scene is through Act Six, so looks like the scene in question happens in Act Seven. The tape schedule for the next episode, 4442, shows Marie/Liz/Neil/Don at Liz's Apartment in the Teaser Act. So, as you guessed, this confirms it happens in Act Seven of 4441 (5/2/83). We are just missing the scene itself. I don't know why I had so many random pages from this episode, but at least it helped us tonight! The parts X'd out did not make it to air, so you get a little more than you would have if you watched the episode. And, as an extra treat, Neil talks about Noel (spelled the correct way!) Many on the soap boards like to incorrectly spell it Noelle, but it is Noel.

Peter Reckell's debut episode I just noticed, but I think I only have the script pages regarding Bo in that one. I see in my notes that I have many pages of the 5/2/83 script, so I'll check in the filing cabinet, see if anything can be found of Liz/Marie.

FAST WEEKLY WEEK OF 4/22/74-4/26/74 NOT AVAILABLE (Note: Per newspaper listings, there were no scheduled preemptions and all daytime shows were scheduled to air every day this week). FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 4/29/74-5/3/74 & 5/6/74-5/10/74:

Here's a look at the first weeks that YR hit new clearance records from 90 to 99 percent. It made a big jump one week to the next (skipping over 95; going from 94 to 96 percent).

9/18/74 is Ford U.N. Address (12-1235PM)

Good job on those 3 July preemptions. Didn't think you would have those 3 down to the day, but you did! How did you go about confirming those? FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 4/8/74-4/12/74 & 4/15/74-4/19/74:

1/1/74 Tournament of Roses Parade 7/2/74 Nixon Moscow Address & Analysis 7/25/74 Judiciary Hearing, Part 1 7/29/74 Judiciary Hearing, Part 1 8/9/74 Ford Inauguration 8/28/74 is a fast weekly week, but from the Daily News listings, the only preemptions that day were for a Ford Press Conference which started at 230PM ET, so that only knocked out Edge of Night and The Doctors that day. So, that looks to be the only mistake on that list (it aired on 8/28, but not on 8/9). The Ford Inauguration only took an hour to televise from 1130AM-1230PM (no parades or anything since he was replacing Nixon), so that's why YR was the only soap preempted for it. I'm starting work on September 1974 now, so will let you know about the remaining YR preemptions as I finish that up. We also don't have the 1/14/74 and 1/21/74 data yet.

FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 3/25/74-3/29/74 & 4/1/74-4/5/74: That 5 minute Another World preemption on 4/4/74 was for NBC going live to show Hank Aaron tying Babe Ruth's 714 home run record. ALSO: YR preemption followers, what dates do you have YR being preempted in 1974?

The "Days" scripts affected by the 1973 WGA strike were # 1895 to # 1950 (taping 4/30/73-7/31/73; airing 5/14/73-8/24/73), so it should be comparable dates for YR.

Here you go. My last "Days" work of 2024!! Enjoy!! 2677- Brooke reminds Trish that if she doesn't try to help Mike some other woman will. Linda greets a subdued Mike who tells her he still hasn't found an apartment he can afford. Linda says he can stay at her place another night. Mike admits to Linda that he may have gone by Trish's with the idea of trying to be a man with her. Linda comforts him, telling him he'll find his manhood again when he finds love again. He loves Mickey and she hopes Mike will go visit him with her tomorrow. 2678- Trish tells Alice she and Mike have broken up. Alice goes to Brooke and forces her to tell her where Mike is. Linda and Mike pretend not to see the shock in Alice's eyes as she sees them in their nightclothes. Linda goes in to dress and Mike turns on Alice, angry and defensive, telling her not to start anything. She says she had to find him because Mickey is anxious to see him. Which father, Mike asks bitterly. He goes in to dress when Linda comes out dressed for work. No matter what Alice thinks, Linda begs her not to create a scene. Mike can't handle it. Alice is shocked at the idea of Mike living with Linda until he can get his own apartment. Linda insists there is nothing wrong with this. Mike comes out, and after a few fiery words for both of them, Alice leaves the apartment. Mike apologizes to Linda for Alice's attitude. She tells him not to worry about what anyone thinks of their relationship. Later, Mike wants Trish to tell Brooke to stay out of his life. Brooke goes to Tom's office to tell him and Alice that they shouldn't worry about Mike having an affair with Linda. What they should worry about is that Mike can't perform as a man with a woman. That's why he and Trish broke up. 2680- (Typed up in Marlena's 5000th tribute. See that. Marlena with Mike/Mickey/Linda) 2683- Maggie tells Mike he should get out of Linda's apartment because Linda is using him to wreck her and Mickey's marriage. Mike is upset at the suggestion. Mike goes home to Linda and apologizes for walking out on her and Mickey. Linda says Mike and Mickey have to stop hurting each other. He cross-examines her about her feelings for Mickey. How does she plan to figure in his life? Linda and Mike can't sleep in the storm. She comes out of the bedroom and is talking to him about Maggie's fears when the doorbell rings. Mike escapes to the bathroom and Linda lets Tom in. She apologizes for the sheer negligee she is wearing and goes to change. Mike comes out dressed, accuses his grandfather of spying on him and slams out of the apartment. Linda comes out and has a confrontation with Tom. They talk about Mike's sexual problem and Tom asks if she intends to play the older woman who makes a man out of a boy. Linda warns Tom that he should be careful- if she has the name she might as well play the game. Later, Mike returns, she takes him in his arms, holds him like a mother, tells him not to let the ugliness in people's minds destroy what is lovely and beautiful between them: their friendship. 2685- Julie is surprised to find out from Linda that Mike is living with her, but says it nice she's doing that. Linda says she's the only one of the Horton clan who feels that way. Later, Mike comes to the office to have lunch with Linda, and is taken aback when Julie says Linda is out on a date- with a man (actually Johnny Collins to discuss his will). 2688- Mike goes to Doug's Place and tells Trish he now has his own pad. They have a miserable, awkward conversation and when he sees Brooke enter, he leaves abruptly. Mike stops by the office and tells Linda he found out she was on a date with another man. Realizing he's jealous, Linda tells him she went to meet Johnny Collins to discuss his will. Mike says he found his own pad but wants to continue seeing Linda. She assures him he will. But right now he should try to be with David, help him cool off so he won't make trouble for Julie and Don. Mike and David go to Doug's Place and start drinking. 2689- Doug phones Linda of the emergency situation: he can't get Mike and David to go home. Linda tells Don and Julie about Mike and David. Mike and David talk openly about his split with Trish, sending her crying to the powder room. As Mike and David drunkenly compare notes on mothers and lovers, Don, Julie and Linda arrive. Linda stations herself at the bar to trap Mike and successfully talks him into leaving. Linda is trying to beef Mike up with coffee and send him home to his new bachelor pad. In Linda's apartment, Mike falls asleep on the couch. Linda tries to get him ready for bed and Mike becomes amorous, which Linda handles tactfully and with some amusement. 2690- The scene continues with Mike and Linda, Mike not drunk now but still a bit fuzzy. He falls off the sofa. Linda goes to warm up some coffee for him. Bill goes to Linda's to check on Mike, and is a bit shaken up when Linda says she put him in her bed. Mike was falling off the couch, she tells Bill, but Bill is more interested in what Mike's relationship with Linda will do in terms of Laura. Linda hates Laura's guts and won't help the situation. Mike comes out of the bedroom and he and Bill have a heated confrontation. Mike says he tried to make a pass at Linda when he was still a little tight, but she's been a real friend when she could have easily tossed him out. Trish arrives, and after Bill leaves, it is rather pathetic as Trish and Mike want to reach out to each other again and don't quite know how to go about it. They are left feeling hopelessly drawn apart.

Nadyne Turney played the original Linda for 2 episodes in July 1970. Margaret Mason took over the role in August 1970. I remember typing up some of those 1976 synopses from when I did the Deidre Hall 5000th episode tribute, so I have some episode-specific details from those Mike/Linda scenes, although I think I only typed up the Marlena storyline for those episodes.
