That was NBC's network decision, so I don't see why the Alabama station gets a story making it seem like it was an outlier or an Alabama-only decision. The network moved the "Days" time slot to 130 ET/1230 CT when the show expanded in April 1975 until March 1979 when NBC moved it to 1PM ET. Any Central time zone affiliates NOT airing Days from 1230-130 CT from 1975-1979 were the outliers. If they kept it at 1230 CT after 1979, that would be an outlier however, since that's when the affiliates moved it to 1ET /12 CT.

Since 1993, yes.

Yes, that's Bill Rega's outline. I guess he called Bill Bell "Willie" and Pat Falken Smith at the end "Patty." Yes, that was the tape I was referring to. It's not in the best quality, so it would be fun to have the pristine quality version that Days has in its archives. Hopefully they will ask for that scene as well as some of the others I suggested to CNN and use it in their story about Tina.

CNN just contacted me. They are working on a Tina Andrews story and wanted help in getting some clips of her as Valerie. So, I figured out some episode #s for them to request from the show. I know we have that really poor quality video of their first kiss, but hopefully we will now get to see a pristine quality version of it. I also sent them the episode #s of Tina's debut, David's proposal, and an episode where David and Valerie get kicked out of a restaurant.

It looks liked I accidentally erased my answer to you when I was updating about 1189. But, no, the X's are for who is taping the episode. And the /'s are for who is rehearsing the next-day's episode. 1190,. the Monday episode, had Tom, Alice, Bill and Laura. None (other than Tom who was taping 1189 on Friday) is listed to be at work that day, which means they didn't rehearse Monday episode on Friday afternoons. Which means that got the crew out early on Fridays to enjoy a few extra hours of the weekend. Best guess is they did maybe a quick rehearsal of Monday's episodes on Monday mornings.

All this talk above of 1189 just made me realize this is the debut of the Sergio's set, which would become Doug's Place in 1972. So, Bill Hayes was preparing his lines exactly 54 years ago tonight and would walk on to the soon-to-be Doug's Place set (with a piano player) for the first time ever on July 9, 1970. 1189...7/23/70: Cast: Tom, Susan, Julie, Doug, Sergio/Cafe Owner, Piano Player, Waiter. Sets: Doug’s Apartment, Julie’s Apartment, Hall Outside Julie’s Apartment, Intimate “European Type” Café (Sergio’s).

She was born Feb. 1943, so she would have been 24 when she played Sandy.
