SUSAN SEAFORTH HAYES: THREE TIMES ON CONTRACT, ONCE EVERY THREE DECADES! Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie) has joined the contract cast of "Days of Our Lives" three times in her career, and all have taken place three decades apart (1960's, 1990's, 2020's)! Susan was first upped to contract status on April 15, 1969 (Episode # 866). She returned to "Days" on contract on January 8, 1990 (Episode # 6166). Last week, Susan joined the contract cast for a third time on October 4, 2024 (Episode # 14959).

SUSAN SEAFORTH HAYES & MADELYN KIENTZ NOW ON CONTRACT... I checked with "Days" today and got confirmation that both Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie) and Madelyn Kientz (Sophia) are now on contract, which was expected from their placement in the credits the last few weeks. Kientz went on contract as of the October 2 episode, while Seaforth Hayes went on contract with the October 4 episode. This is the first time Seaforth Hayes has been on contract since January 1993.

The texts that Greg Vaughan shared from Drake also support that. Drake mentions he might be able to "pinch hit" (a baseball term for a substitution), in this case, which perhaps alludes to Greg subbing for him in the Brady storyline.

Yes, that was her last scene, going into a room with Roman. That's how she was written out the first time she left Days.

I noticed Matt Mahaney (Kurt in the Princess Gina storyline) posted this comment on my page:

Just googled Wayne's PC debut date...June 1, 1997. So, he signed with PC in May 1997, a month or so before Days decided to bring back Roman, who started taping sometime in June 1997. Josh's first airdate was 7/18/97.

A LOOK BACK: DRAKE HOGESTYN'S FIRST DAY OF WORK AT "DAYS"...PARKING CLEARANCE LIST & FIRST SCRIPT PAGE...JANUARY 10, 1986 (WHICH AIRED JANUARY 24, 1986)

I was close though! Sorry, I missed that in my quick search of the records. I guess I saw a scene with just Roman and Adrienne alone and figured that was it. 12/8/89 Scene-By-Scene: Construction Site/Park Cafe (Roman, Adrienne, Justin) Quiet Room (Isabella, Jack, 2 Orderlies) Brady Kitchen (Kayla, Patch) Construction Site/Park Cafe (Roman, Adrienne, Justin) Quiet Room (Isabella, Jack, 2 Orderlies) Brady Kitchen (Kayla, Patch) Kiriakis LR & Foyer (Anjelica, Victor, JJ, Hank) Construction Site/Park Cafe (Roman, Adrienne, Justin) Brady Kitchen (Kayla, Patch, Neil) Bayview Stairwell (Isabella, Jack, 2 Orderlies) Construction Site/Park Cafe (Roman, Adrienne, Hank) Kiriakis LR (Victor, Justin) Brady Kitchen (Kayla, Patch, Neil) Bayview Supply Closet & Corridor (Isabella, Jack, 2 Orderlies) Kiriakis LR (Victor, Justin, Anjelica) Construction Site/Park Cafe (Roman, Adrienne, Hank) Intercut: Boat Dock Phone (Abe) Brady Kitchen (Kayla, Patch) Intercut: Bayview Supply Closet & Corridor (Jack) Brady Kitchen (Kayla) Intercut: Bayview Supply Closet & Corridor (Jack, Isabella, Orderly # 1) Kiriakis LR (Victor, Patch, Nico) Kiriakis LR & Foyer (Victor, Patch) Boat Dock (Roman, Abe, Xs) Bayview Sanitarium Gate (Jack, Isabella) Wings (Adrienne, Hank, Anjelica, Justin, Dave, Xs) Wings (Adrienne, Hank, Anjelica, Justin, Dave, Xs) FLASHBACK (Adrienne, Justin) Boat Dock (Roman, Abe) Brady Kitchen (Patch) Kayla's Car/Roadside (Kayla, Jack, Orderly # 1)

I happen to have the 1988-1990 scene logs typed out for every episode. I just searched scenes listing (Adrienne, Roman) or (Roman, Adrienne) and got a hit on this one, so this looks to be it: 12/21/89 12/21/89 Scene-By-Scene: Construction Trailer & Ext. (Adrienne, Hank, Roman) Kiriakis LR & Foyer (Anjelica, Jack, Victor, Maid Rhonda) Loft (Isabella, Jennifer, Emilio's Voice) Loft (Isabella, Jennifer, Emilio) Construction Trailer & Ext. (Adrienne, Hank, Roman) Kiriakis LR & Foyer (Anjelica, Jack, Victor, Justin) Kiriakis LR (Victor, Justin) Wings (Calliope, Scott, Faith, Dave, Xs) Loft (Isabella, Jennifer, Jack) Construction Trailer & Ext. (Adrienne, Roman) Wings (Scott, Faith, Dave, Xs) Pier (Emilio, Jennifer) Loft (Isabella, Jack)

Based on the aired writing credits of 11/86-12/86, Schoettle is in 2nd position after Laiman. Maralyn Thoma is added to the credits on 2/27/87, before Schoettle. So, from 2/87-2/88 the aired credits list Laiman, Thoma, Schoettle. Then, during the strike, you are correct, it says Story By: Laiman, Schoettle. Then it's Laiman, Schoettle from end of strike to 3/89 when Anne Howard Bailey takes over. I would have to check the actual episodes to see if there is a space between the two names. I based the head writer lists off the ones confirmed in the soap books, as well as my research of the scripts. There is no space between Leah Laiman and any of the breakdown writers on the scripts (it just goes Laiman, Thoma, Schoettle, Breshears, Allen and then lists the dialogue writer of the specific episode). So, based on all that, plus the fact Thoma is in 2nd position for most of 1987 until the strike starts, I will keep them as breakdown writers.

A LOOK BACK: 1995 HOLLYWOOD REPORTER AD: DRAKE HOGESTYN CONGRATULATES "DAYS" ON ITS 30TH ANNIVERSARY...

A LOOK BACK: DRAKE HOGESTYN'S FIRST MONTH ON "DAYS"...JANUARY 1986 DAILY CAST CHART

They tape things all out of order, but I would guess either late January or early February.

SOME ADDITIONAL SAD NEWS TO REPORT...DRAKE HOGESTYN'S FINAL EPISODE AS JOHN BLACK AIRED ON SEPTEMBER 9... I got the sad confirmation from "Days" tonight that Drake Hogestyn's final episode as John Black has already aired, on Monday, September 9. His final scene was with Eric Martsolf (Brady) and Leo Howard (Tate) at the Townhouse. Tate updates John that Holly has yet to read his text. John: "She will. And I am sure that she's going to take you up on it when she is ready." Brady opens the door. John's last line of dialogue (to Brady) is: "Does this mean that..." Brady tells John that Justin has dropped all the charges. John happily laughs and hugs Brady (pictured above).

A LOOK BACK AT JOHN BLACK & FAMILY...

As I was preparing my post last night, I checked Twitter shortly before the news was made public, and it was more heartbreaking to see the fans were counting down to his birthday. So, if I wasn't already sad enough, that made it even worse.

Rest in peace, Drake. Thank you for four decades of John Black. You were part of the first storyline I ever watched on "Days", The Cruise of Deception, in 1990. It was an honor getting to meet you at several fan events through the years. I always knew Salem was in good hands with John keeping an eye on things. My condolences to Victoria, his children and all of the "Days" family.
