As always, imdb information may or may not be accurate.

 

@JAS0N47   Don't know if there is anything here that assists you, just figured I would share. Also, Quick question-- The Clyde Kusatsu character from 2003-- according to your website, the character's name is Nobu. Is this correct?  I ask because one of our posters, @janea4old sent transcripts:

 

DAYS episode of June 24, 2003 US (June 23 Canada).
Detailed recap of that episode and his scenes:
http://tvmegasite.net/updates/days/2003/days-06-24-03.htm
(They mistakenly called him "NoBoo" in the recap. but the name is "Noru".)

Transcript (with character name spelled correctly):
June 24, 2003 US (June 23 Canada).
http://tvmegasite.net/transcripts/days/older/2003/trans-da-06-23-03.htm

 

Just double-checking in case the change is necessary, and you know DAYS better than anyone. 

 

 

Thanks for the info!  Yes, "Days" has had hundreds and hundreds of uncredited principal guest actors, especially in the 1980s and 1990s when the credits wouldn't air for 8 weeks in a row, so a lot of guest actors are not in any record. As well as the thousands of uncredited U/5s through the past five decades. Didn't know Camryn Grimes was on the show as a child.

No apology necessary.  All input is helpful, and considering the condition of my papers (copied over and over --some in pencil; some with Diet Coke spills some with 3 a.m. and dozing off scribbles ) I always like to double check everything.

 

I see this was figured out before I noticed the conversation!

It's interesting how Freddie Smith had less episodes than Kirsten Storms and Denise Alexander even though there were about 2,500 episodes separating him from his first episode and his final episode, and he had been on the show over the course of nine years.

Kirsten Storms appeared with a gap of just over 1,200 episodes between her first and last appearance, and just about five years on the show.

With Denise Alexander, things were clearly more balanced on the show during that era over her near seven year run. She had a gap of about 1,700 episodes between her first appearance and her last appearance.

Yes, shows you how big an impact the guarantee slashing had in the 2010's.

It’s pretty hard to take anything Corday says seriously, because in another part of the interview, he mentions Canada getting the show a day early. That hasn’t been true for about 10 years. Shouldn’t he know that? 

He's the executive producer and owner of the show, so it would be good if he knew Canada stopped airing it a day ahead a decade ago!

Canadian TV is a fair bit less puritanical than the US. The CBC has long maintained a far more liberal attitude towards language and nudity compared to any American channel, and as far as I know, that extends to the other networks to varying degrees as well.

What about the longer length of the episodes in regards to Canada. Will Canada have to edit scenes to still be able to air the same amount of commercials as it does now?

Thanks Jam! I have the February 1979 sweeps episode info, so I'll be fleshing out the rest of that month in the coming months.

According to this Corday solely owns DAYS.

 

Yes, as well as what I scanned and posted above. You were the one who was saying he did not own it, so that's why I scanned in his autobiography page to show that he did own it!

Does Corday own any part of Days at all?

Yes, per Ken himself in his autobiography, he fully owns Days:

is there a DOOL Vault?

That's what I call my posts about old episodes!  There is no literal vault, although they must keep the masters of the episodes, as well as the scripts, somewhere!!

FROM THE VAULT: EPISODE # 3345: FEBRUARY 1, 1979

At David's Apartment, Stephanie covers her slip of calling Trish by name by saying she recognized Trish from her picture. Stephanie tells Trish she understand her marriage to David was one of convenience, and so she won't mind now that Stephanie and David are in love and want to get married as soon as David gets the divorce. This information saddens Trish.

At Marlena's Gatehouse, Samantha surprises and delights Marlena with her unexpected arrival. When Samantha brings Jerry Rhinehart in, Marlena is somewhat cool towards him. Jerry explains to Marlena that he was just doing his job in the custody case, and he's sorry about the Hortons. Marlena's attitude softens and she apologizes for her previous coolness. Marlena and Samantha fill one another in on what's been happening to them. As Marlena goes out of the room, Don enters and thinks Samantha is Marlena. Samantha goes along with it, teasing him when he doesn't approve of her short hair. When Marlena reenters, and starts giggling behind him, Don realizes he's been had. When Marlena comments to Don about how well Samantha seems to be doing, he says he can't help remembering what she did to them in the past, and he doubts if he will ever be able to forget. Marlena defends Samantha by saying that she was really sick then, and she doubts if Samantha will flip out again as long as she stays away from drugs and alcohol.

At Mary's Studio, Chris and Mary are discussing the fact that Chris and Bob have resolved the mess with Chuck Merrill finally. Chris mentions how strange it was that Stephanie knew about the forged contract, and then they dismiss it. Mary tells Chris she went to see Linda and while Bill explained Mary's conversation with Melissa, Mary still doesn't believe the amnesia bit. Mary, in a pensive mood, tells Chris she really doesn't know him, he's always been silent about the women he's been in love with. Chris mentions he was in Vietnam, but the experience was so painful, he doesn't want to think about it.

At Julie's Apartment, Hope comments to Doug and Julie on how nice it is for the three of them to be together for a change. After Hope leaves the room, Julie tells Doug how conscientious Steve has been in making amends for the fake antique boxes. They're in such a mellow mood that Doug decides not to go to work. Julie and Doug are cuddling on the couch, during a rare evening together, and Julie tells him she'd like to start a family and have a baby.

A question regarding Susan Oliver.

How did viewers of the time regard her portrayal? She had big shoes to fill but was an accomplished actress.

Signing her was quite a coup for Days as she was a respected primetime actress. 

What were the circumstances regarding her short stay?

Was there negative viewer reaction or did  Susan not adjust to daytime?

Sounds like she was out of money, the one year at Days helped fill her bank account, and then she asked to leave to work on a movie.  Just found these for you:
