Here's a look at the ratings for the series Deidre Hall did just before joining "Days" in June 1976. "Electra Woman & Dyna Girl" aired from September 1976-December 1976 as a segment of "The Krofft Supershow." Wikipedia lists the only first-run episodes of Deidre's segment as airing from 9/11/76-12/25/76, so I posted those weeks below:

I can never say for certain until the info arrives, but that is the plan. I also recently got 1994-1995, so those charts will be going up at some point once I get them all done. You already have the OJ Simpson preemption data, but this will be the first time it appears in chart form like all of 1976-1993.

January 1977-March 1977 are not in at the moment, so hopefully those will be coming later this year. So, we now have weekly ratings for January 1976-December 1976 and April 1977-Present.

Welcome back, ratings fans! 1976 is now in. FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 12/29/75-1/2/76 & 1/5/76-1/9/76:

FIRST POST-WGA STRIKE EPISODE AIRED TODAY (MAY 17), WITH SCRIPT WRITER BEING CREDITED...REST OF "DAYS" WRITING TEAM TO RETURN TO CREDITS IN COMING WEEKS... Today (May 17) was the first episode written by a "Days" script writer (Sonja Alarr) since December 1 (the last script written before the WGA strike started in May 2023). Look for the rest of the "Days" writing team to return to the credits in the coming weeks.

What was inserted into today's episode? I have yet to get a response from the publicist, but I did ask her a few weeks ago if there was an insert episode added at some point between May and December, since one of the sites reported # 15,000 was going to air on 12/3, while I have it scheduled to air on 12/2.

They switched to the 10-episodes-a-week tape schedule last year, so an entire year can be taped in 26 weeks. The only two things that make Greg's statement questionable is that means there would only be 8 dark weeks through Christmas Day. But, that is do-able. Also, Days is only renewed into Sept. 2025, so they would need to renew the show before anything for Sept/Oct 2025 is written.

That would mean they would be taping 26 of the next 34 weeks (with 8 dark weeks), since it would takes 26 weeks to tape all 260 episodes of 2025. Plus, they are yet to be renewed past Aug/Sep 2025, so a renewal announcement would have to happen for them to complete taping 2025 by the end of this year.

Reading the whole story, the hit-and-run part of the charge was actually for her hitting a parked car just before she got into the accident, so it wasn't that she hit the injured driver and then ran. She couldn't have since her car was destroyed. "Also dismissed was a hit-and-run charge resulting from Pullos running into a parked car just before the freeway crash. But though prosecutors dropped that count, she will still have to pay restitution to the owner of the car she damaged."

Here's a look back at the last scene of Marla Adams as Dr. Claire McIntyre on "Days" in 1999, from Episode # 8621, as well as some additional paperwork from Marla's time on the show.

I have every issue in a few filing cabinets, so as long as you don't request a ton of things, if you want me to scan a few of your most-wanted items, I could do that.

HAPPY 15,000 EPISODES, "DAYS OF OUR LIVES"!

Did you say you saw Billy Flynn in a photo? I missed him. Besides him, the only ones I didn't see there today in photos are Drake, Eric Martsolf, Jessica Serfaty, Lucas Adams and Emily O'Brien, as well as the previously announced AnnaLynne McCord and Al Calderon. Andrea McKinnon is the show's publicist now, so they do have a PR department again. She used to work for the show a long time ago.

BURBANK STUDIOS TODAY...WEEK OF 15,000TH EPISODE TAPING From our Burbank friend who sometimes sends in photos, here are some photos today outside the Burbank Studios gate and parking lot, also showing Studios 2 and 4 where "Days" tapes.

Lanna Saunders worked as long as she could until her MS got too bad, so there was no final Marie episode written. Marie's last episode as a contract character was April 8, 1985. Maree Cheatham reprised the role for brief visits in 1994, 1996 and 2010.

FROM THE VAULT: JULIE/STEVE SCENE...EPISODE # 3231...AUGUST 24, 1978... Here's a look at the Olson sibling dynamic between Julie and Steve from Episode # 3231, which aired August 24, 1978. Susan Seaforth Hayes & Stephen Schnetzer are taping their first scene together this week since December 1979.
