What outdoor mall, Salem Place? That was right outside the Burbank Studios, where people would line up and stand in line for Jay Leno's Tonight Show. I never checked the exact dates, but I can confirm they were still at Sunset Gower on 6/20/89 and back in Burbank as of 7/3/89. But that is probably their first date back, because when you check on the Christmas Vacation tape dates, that says they taped until 6/30/89. So it looks like over the weekend of 7/1/89 and 7/2/89 the Griswold house made famous in Christmas Vacation was transformed back into Salem!

Days has been at the Burbank Studios for all but 6 of its 60 years, when they went to Sunset Gower from August 1983-June 1989. During their time away, I believe the interiors of the Griswold house were done in Spring 1989 for Christmas Vacation just before Days moved back in.

I listed everyone that debuted on air in 2024 earlier in this thread. Only the 2nd Tate and 1st Sophia were part of this Emmy: Contract roles debuting in 2024: Leo Howard (Tate Black) AnnaLynne McCord ("Abigail"/Cat Greene) Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez) Serena Scott Thomas (Fiona Cook) Madelyn Kientz (Sophia Choi) AlexAnn Hopkins (Joy Wesley) Al Calderon (Javi Hernandez) Peyton Meyer (Doug Williams) Recurring roles debuting in 2024: Christy St. John (Officer Rebecca Goldman) Louis Tomeo (Aaron Greene) Kennedy Garcia (Felicity Greene) Jonah Robinson (Mark Greene) Derek Yates (Kerry Youmans) Shi Ne Nielson (Amy Choi)

TODAY AT BURBANK... Two moving trucks are seen outside the Burbank Studios. Thanks to a "Days" fan for sending this in.

They start whatever day you sign the contract I guess, which would normally be close to the first tape date. A guarantee of x amount of episodes for 13 weeks.

No. 😔

Instead of AI, you could use my production schedule made by me (a human)!! https://www.jason47.com/days/productionschedule.html

Yes, anyone who writes is listed as a writer in the credits, whether they are in WGA or not. Two of the Days long-time writers, head writer Jeanne Marie Ford and story editor Fran Myers went fi-core decades ago and have always been listed in the credits. They, however, are not nominated for WGA Awards when Days gets a nomination.

I saw that she wasn't on the fi-core list. I was wondering that since she wasn't fi-core, why is she not a member of the WGA, since she has written for so many shows. Being that she was nominated for a WGA Award in 2022, that proves she was a member 3 years ago. But now she is not, and it's not because she went fi-core.

A quick check of the NY voting records shows a Kathleen D. Culliton as 1/25/86. Then when you check Kathleen D. Culliton in public records it shows this: Relatives and Associates for Kathleen D Culliton: Carolyn Culliton · Emily Culliton · Richard Culliton So she was born 1/25/86 (which is a Saturday), not 1/25/87 (which is a Sunday). It looks like Carolyn mistook the first sentence of that tweet "In 1986, Bay City rang in the New Year" and didn't realize the AW fans were actually talking about New Year's Day 1987.

Speaking of that, I just checked to see if Lynn Martin was on that list, but no. But, as an active soap writer, she is not listed in the WGA directory. I see she was nominated in 2022 for a WGA Award, so she was a member at least that year. Wonder why she isn't a member??

"DAYS" WGA WRITER LIST: 2025 UPDATE: Here's the update to last year's research, including the additions of the new writers (Kathleen Culliton, Simone Hawthorne, Lynn Martin, Dan O'Connor, Skyy Sandifer, Christian Streaty, Isaac Francis Tackman and Megan Titus) and updates to the deceased list.

RYAN QUAN DEPARTS "DAYS"... After 18 years with "Days of Our Lives", story consultant Ryan Quan has wrapped his run. His last episode aired on October 8, 2025. Quan joined "Days" on April 3, 2007 as a writers' assistant, then became a dialogue writer in 2008, a breakdown writer in 2011, and from 2016-2017 he was one of the show's head writers. Since July 2017, Quan had served as the show's story consultant. He is now a writer with "General Hospital."

I couldn't find any obituary for Katherine Penders, but when you google Maura Penders, it shows her middle name is Katherine, so I think that makes it more likely they were sisters.

I always assumed they were.

TWO ADDITIONAL WRITER DEATH UPDATES... With the death of Margaret DePriest, I checked the WGA memorial list from this past year and found that Katherine Penders, a Days writer from 1994-1997, died on 1/1/25. I have also found one of the several "missing" writers. A 1979 article confirms that Delle Coleman Bohrman, who died 4/15/22, used the fictitious name of Elizabeth Blake-Young when writing soaps (the same year she wrote for Days). That leaves 14 still "missing" writers with no info available (all of them have pretty common names, so they will be hard to find probably): Days "Missing" Writers (Years writing for "Days"): James H. Arthur (1979-1980) Charles Edwards (1980-1981) Brian Farrell (1987) Howard George (1984) Janne Hiller (1984) (possibly Janne Goodman Hiller Seal, born 1947, via public records) Chuck Hirsch (1986) CL Johnson (1985) Jeanne Knowlton (1986) (found a Jeanne Knowlton Ross, born 1946, who went by Jeanne Ruskin when acting in soaps, so she is a possibility to be this person) Carolyne Lacey (1971) (Wrote the 1962 play "The Virgin's Victory") Morton Lewis (1986) Erika Moore (1984) Nichole Murphy (1989) Patrick Smith (1986) Robert Stevens (1992-1993) Here's Elizabeth Blake-Young (aka Delle Bohrman)'s full obirtuary: Delle Bohrman, a screenwriter and widow of the longtime Los Angeles TV and radio host Stan Bohrman, has died at 89. Bohrman, a resident of Westlake Terrace, died April 15 of advanced kidney failure, according to her son David, a veteran TV news producer for CNN, NBC and CBS. Delle Bohrman served on the women’s committee of the Writers Guild of America. Working mostly under the name Del Coleman, she earned a story credit on the 1986 TV movie “Of Pure Blood” that starred Lee Remick, and wrote for the animated series “The Flintstones.” She was the wife of Stan Bohrman, a provocative TV talk show host at Los Angeles TV station KHJ (now KCAL). Bohrman was the lead host of “Tempo,” a live daily interview program that presented controversial topics to a daytime audience from 1967-73. He later worked as a TV journalist for KABC in Los Angeles and KPIX in San Francisco and radio stations KNX and KFWB. During his years on “Tempo,” where Bohrman flashed a peace sign at the end of each show, he and Delle were liberal political activists. They both marched with labor leader and civil rights activist Cesar Chavez. The couple were also active participants in the Laurel Canyon counterculture scene of the 1960s and early ‘70s. David Bohrman recalls that entertainers and rock stars were frequent guests at parties in their home, where folk singer Arlo Guthrie and songwriter Hoyt Axton were regulars. Born Ardelle Coleman in Los Angeles on Oct. 23, 1932, she graduated from Dorsey High School and attended UCLA for two years before leaving to pursue a career as a lounge singer. She met Stan Bohrman when he was a radio show host and part-time musician and they married in 1953. They resided mostly in Los Angeles, but also lived in Boston, San Francisco and San Diego when Stan Bohrman had radio or TV jobs in those cities. Along with her son David, Delle Bohrman is survived by a daughter, Cathy. Her daughter Caren, a literary agent, died in 2012. Stan Bohrman died in 1994.

MARGARET DePRIEST IN LOVING MEMORY APRIL 19, 1931-SEPTEMBER 29, 2025 "Days of Our Lives" Head Writer, 1982-1984 Margaret L. DePriest Price, who was the head writer of "Days of Our Lives" for 656 episodes from April 1982-October 1984 has passed away at the age of 94. While sharing head writer duties with Sheri Anderson, DePriest co-created characters including Bo Brady, Kimberly Brady, Caroline Brady, Shawn Brady, Shane Donovan, Anna DiMera, Carrie Brady, Calliope Jones, Howie Hoffstedder and Larry Welch. She was born in Kentucky and raised in Oklahoma, DePriest began her daytime career as an actress, appearing on "The Edge of Night" from 1965-1966 and on "The Doctors" from 1967-1968. In 1969, she switched to writing full-time and co-created the short-lived soap "Where the Heart Is." Along with being the head writer of "Days" from 1982-1984, DePriest also wrote for "All My Children", "Another World", "The Doctors", "The Edge of Night", "General Hospital", "Love of Life", "One Life to Live" and "Sunset Beach." When "Sunset Beach" was cancelled at the end of 1999, DePriest retired. Riverside Memorial Chapel announced her service, but no obituary was provided: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/funeral-homes/new-york/new-york/riverside-memorial-chapel/1227

It only took me a few minutes to check on the Hortons due to those airdates listed above of people not being around at the same time. I think the Bradys would take a bit longer to check on.

60 YEARS OF "DAYS"...ONLY 2 EPISODES EVER FEATURED ALL 5 HORTON CHILDREN... Addie left in 1966 before Tommy showed up in 1967. Addie returned on 4/19/71. However Marie was only in 3 more episodes in 1971 and then not back until 5/9/73. But all 5 characters were in the 5/3/71 episode and during Marie's Christmas visit on 12/23/71. Marie's return on 5/9/73 marked Tommy's last episode until 1975, after Addie had died. So, throughout the 60-year history of Days, there were only 2 episodes ever to feature all 5 Horton children in the same episode, 5/3/71 and 12/23/71. Tom and Alice were also in both of these episodes. 1385...5/3/71: Cast: Tom, Alice, Mickey, Bill, Marie, Tommy, Addie. Sets: Horton Kitchen, Horton Living Room, Four Partial/Limbo Sets (for Tom's 4 phone calls to Mickey/Bill/Tommy/Marie). 1545...12/23/71: Cast: Tom, Alice, Mickey, Bill, Laura, Marie, Tommy, Addie, Sandy, Mike. Sets: Horton Living Room & Hallway, Tom's Study, Horton Kitchen.

Is it a spoiler after the episode has already aired? I thought it was only a spoiler if something had not aired yet.

BRANDON BEEMER REMOVED FROM CREDITS... Brandon Beemer (Shawn) was removed from the contract credits today, making September 10 his final appearance on contract.
