Susan got Towering Inferno while she was on Days.

Did she take much time off Days to do the movie?

Huh! Now I don't know where I knew you from but it was somewhere we both were. Prodigy, AOL, Delphi? Did you go to any of their soap boards? Not that this matters! Just curious.

AOL yes. Soap Digest I think had the Days chats on an AOL board I think. That's where Stephanie (the SOD editor, who at the time was the moderator of the SOD AOL chats) first heard of me, and that's how I ended up being mentioned by her in one her SOD editor's notes years back!

Thank you very much, Jason. I remember you from as far back as RATS & RATSm & Alt.Days. Maybe even Prodigy. Here's to better days!

So far, so good! This reads just like I remember it! It's reassuring. And, also, do well done!

That's funny, because I didn't find out about RATS until recently, when I was looking for old summaries, and found a ton of 1980s/1990's stuff on RATS to add to my episode summary archive. But I guess people posted my sneak peeks on RATS back in the 90s, so that's how you know me from there!

Thanks for the explanation. So sum total, when she left, was she alone? Was poor Li'l Dickie dead?

Here are the script recaps I typed up of Dickie's death and David's murder:

In the old days, the primary contract actors would have guarantees of 3x per week.  (And the nonprimary contract actors would appear maybe 2x or 1.5 times per week).
Nobody gets that anymore.

I think most contract actors right now appear maybe 1x per week or 1.5 times per week.  Some average even less.
@JAS0N47 would you please clarify that?

If actors have low guarantees, then it averages out, so if they are on three times one week, we might not see them again until two weeks later.

"Days" doesn't give anyone over a 2-per-week anymore, as you can see from the 2021 stats (not all are on the same cycles though, so it's hard to fully compare with yearly stats, but it's a good estimate):

2-per-week (90-100ish)

1. Deidre Hall (Marlena Black) 99
2. Robert Scott Wilson (Ben Weston) 92
3. Arianne Zucker (Nicole Brady) 91
4. Paul Telfer (Xander Cook Kiriakis) 88
5. Lindsay Arnold (Allie Horton) 87
*. Galen Gering (Rafe Hernandez) 87

1.5-per week (75-80ish)
7. Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe Lane) 85
8. Camila Banus (Gabi DiMera) 83
9. Eric Martsolf (Brady Black) 82
10. Emily O'Brien (Gwen Rizczech) 81
11. Brandon Barash (Jake DiMera) 80
12. Jay Kenneth Johnson (Philip Kiriakis) 78
13. Victoria Konefal (Ciara Weston) 76
14. Sal Stowers (Lani Price Grant) 75
15. Tamara Braun (Ava Vitali) 70
*. Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera) 70
*. Drake Hogestyn (John Black) 70
*. Alison Sweeney (Sami DiMera) 70

After Doug and Julie left in 1984, he sold it to Liz and Neil and they renamed it Blondie’s. Idk what happened to The Body Connection either lol I would assume Chris sold it around the time he  bought Shenanigans. 

Thanks!

I’m watching that year now lol so I’ll find out in a couple of weeks 

There was also a third restaurant around that time called The Park Cafe and The Salem Inn also had a restaurant. Plus, you could've always gotten some chowder or another snack at the Brady Fish Market. 

As for now, I’m on my way to @Soapsuds’ basement

Be on the lookout for the two "famous" Salem waitresses from Java Cafe and Brady Pub. Lisa Williams (Lisa the Brady Pub waitress) was a background waitress in Shenanigans and Jacee Jule (Patty the Johnny Angels/Java Cafe waitress) was a background waitress at the Park Cafe.

Was Wings originally Blondie's (which was originally Doug's Place). I know Neil sold the club at some point after he and Liz divorced, but did he sell it to Nick the Pimp who renamed it Wings?

I'll also throw in the bomb explosion as being an actual 1992 highlight. The fallout mostly wasn't but the scenes around the explosion were quite good. Also a hilarious one in that Alice pops right up in the rubble, with only her hair out of place. Everybody else is seriously injured but Alice is fine.

That's the time Don Frabotta needed a Dave Stunt Double!  I forget which producer laughed about that in an interview, but found it quite funny that even Dave needed a Stunt Double.

@JAS0N47 @victoria foxton @Paul Raven @vetsoapfan @jam6242

I never got around to watching the early episodes before they were taken off Youtube, so I don't know if this is another of those or if it's "new." 

Someone else may be able to pin down an exact date. 

Seeing these reminds me of how Marie resonates with me. There is something especially relevant to modern times seeing someone who is clearly so unwell mentally trying to "get over" their depression because it's what they are supposed to do.

 

Thanks for finding!  Checking the cast chart, Ben Bennett and Carole Conn are listed as the two extras, so they must be the dancing couple!

I didn't know she did either. I guess it must have been somewhere else in this week of episodes.

FIRST "DAYS" PERSON SPOTTED IN 1950 CENSUS...

The 1950 census was released to the public yesterday. It's too early to easily search names (it will take awhile for the names to be correctly typed in by humans to make it easier to search), but in the meantime, early results have found "Days" co-creator Irna Phillips. If you search and find any "Days" actors or crew in the coming months, let me know! Here's Irna living with her family in Chicago. Her job in 1950 is listed as author for an advertising agency.

Someone just messaged me this obituary from September. Not sure if this made the news before, but this was the first I heard of her passing, so posting it here:

ETHEL BREZ

IN LOVING MEMORY

6 hours ago, victoria foxton said:

Anne filled in a couple of times. This person is getting wrong info. Patsy didn't leave permanently in 90. 

 

  

I think Patsy officially went on medical leave, but this was it for Patsy in 1990 except her brief 2-episode phone call in December 1990. Then she was back in February 1991.

Anne Howard played the role from March 1990-August 1990 and came back again to fill-in during summer 1991.

EPISODE # 1420...DON CRAIG'S DEBUT...
 
"Days" fans just heard Anna last week mention Don Craig's last scene (when he went to send some mail and was never heard from again). For the first time since its original airing, here's a look at Don Craig's debut episode, # 1420, which aired June 21, 1971:
 
PROLOGUE: INT. DON CRAIG'S OFFICE
 
(TO OFFICE DOOR, LETTERED "DONALD CRAIG, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW" BRING JULIE INTO PICTURE LOOKING CALM AND CONFIDENT, SHE ENTERS INTO OUTER OFFICE, IS GREETED BY CRAIG'S SECRETARY)
 
SECRETARY: Hello, Mrs. Banning.
JULIE: Good afternoon, Miss Meadows. I know I'm a little early for my appointment with Mr. Craig.
SECRETARY: Yes, he's busy at the moment. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few minutes.
JULIE: That's quite all right. It'll give us a chance to talk. It's the last time I'll be seeing you, since we go to court the day after tomorrow.
SECRETARY: Yes, everything seems to be going along just fine.
JULIE: Two more days and I'll be a free woman again. You can't begin to know how I'm looking forward to it. And to a brand new life. (HOLD ON JULIE) (FADE TO BLACK)
 
ACT ONE: INT. HORTON LIVING ROOM (SCENE IN PROGRESS BETWEEN ALICE AND ADDIE)
 
ALICE: Almost a year. You could at least try to find some kind of special life for yourself. Try to have a little fun out of life. And there's one man I know from whom, without getting involved, you could have so much pleasure: Doug Williams.
ADDIE: Please, Mother, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I'm not interested in dating. And I'm especially not interested in having anything to do with Mr. Williams. That one encounter at Sergio's was quite enough. 
(SOUND: TELEPHONE)
ALICE: Do you want to get that, dear?
(ADDIE GETS IT. TWO WAY CALL, JULIE CALLING FROM SECRETARY'S PHONE) 
ADDIE: Hello.
JULIE (happy, upbeat, playing the game): Hello, Mother. How are you?
ADDIE (guarded, cautious): I'm...fine, Julie.
JULIE: I only have a moment. I wondered if you're going to be there in an hour or so. I thought I'd stop by, spend a little time with you.
ADDIE (instinctively suspicious): Why, yes I'll be here.
JULIE: Good. See you then, Mother. Bye.
(AS JULIE HANGS UP, THE WHEELS TURNING, WE SEE CRAIG IN BACKGROUND)
DON: Mrs. Banning? You can come in now.
(AND AS JULIE TURNS TO ENTER, CUT BACK TO ADDIE, PUZZLED)

ADDIE: Knowing my daughter ,Mother, there has to be a reason. (FADE TO BLACK)
 
ACT TWO: FADE IN: INT. DON CRAIG'S OFFICE (THIS SET CAN BE A SLIGHT REMAKE OF MICKEY'S OFFICE LAYOUT). (SCENE IN PROGRESS)

DON: Well, you seem happy enough today, Mrs. Banning.
JULIE: But then, aren't all women on the eve of their divorce?
DON: No, not at all. Depending on the individual circumstances. Sometimes with a day or two to go, one side or the other backs away from the idea.
JULIE: No way, Mr. Craig.
DON: And your husband?
JULIE: He's as anxious as I am.
DON: Then that closes the door to any possible reconciliation.
JULIE: You mean you were about to open that door?
DON: If I felt there was any hope, yes. It's a thing with me. I find it much more satisfying to save marriages than end them. And as I said, it does happen occassionally. A last minute change of heart.
JULIE: How lovely. I mean that. But really it would be a waste of your time with Scott and me.
DON (not critically): Yes, I'd more or less come to that conclusion.
JULIE: Tell me, what time are we due in court the day after next?
DON: Your case should be heard around ten, maybe a little after. And since it's uncontested, it shouldn't take more than a half hour.
JULIE: In other words, by eleven or so...
DON: It should all be over, except for telling your family of course. Or have you already done that?
JULIE: No, Mr. Craig. And I know it'll come as quite a shock to everyone. But I didn't, and don't, want all sorts of people surrounding me with advice. That's the last thing in the world I want or need right now: family interference. And frankly I think it would be better if more people handled it this way. Kept it a very private matter until it was over. It saves all sorts of emotionalims, strain and stress for everyone.
DON: Except that there are those situations when a family functions to bring about a reconciliation.
JULIE: For a divorce attorney, you certainly use that word a lot: reconciliation. It's not good business, is it?
DON: As I said, it's a thing with me. (BEAT) Tell me, Mrs. Banning, is there anything else you think I should know before we go to court?
JULIE: Anything else? No. I'm sure you know all you have to.
DON (long, steady look at her, then, beat): What about your giving custody of your son to Mr. Banning. Don't you think we should discuss that, too? Or didn't you want me to know about it? (Jason47 Note: Julie's son mentioned in this script is David Banning, Eli's father).
(FADE TO BLACK)

ACT THREE: FADE IN: INT. DON CRAIG'S OFFICE (TAKE IT UP IMMEDIATELY)

JULIE: Whatever arrangements I've made concerning my son is a personal matter between Scott and me, Mr. Craig. (BEAT) And I'm a little upset that Scott discussed this with his attorney. I assume that's where you heard about it.
DON: Then it is true, you did enter into such an arrangement.
JULIE: I'm sure that's difficult for you to understand.
DON: Let's say it's rather unusual.
JULIE: Whar else does a mother do, Mr. Craig, when her son wants desperately to live with his father, when he's convinced his mother doesn't love him, has never loved him? A boy who caused utter pandemonium at school because he ran to his father's office rather than take the school bus home to his mother. I could go on and on.
DON: Is this to be an informal arrangement between you two?
JULIE: I definitely don't want it mentioned in court. As I said, this is something between Scott and me. There's nothing illegal about that, is there? (KNOWING THERE ISN'T)
DON: No. Not at all. (BEAT) Then there's nothing permanent about the arrangement. 
JULIE: It could be. But needn't be. Depending upon my son.
DON: Does your husband understand this.
JULIE: Yes, I assume he does. Although we've never put it in quite those words.
DON: Do you want me to cover it with his attorney?
JULIE: No, Mr. Craig. I'd rather the attorney's didn't get into this.
DON: But you do intend to let Mr. Banning have the boy the day after tomorrow.
JULIE (very subtle hedging): Those are my plans, yes. Unless anything unforeseen should develop, which I have no reason to expect.
DON (beat, then): A word of advice?
JULIE (but not really wanting it): By all means.
DON: Don't either of you ever be guilty of using the child as a pawn. It does happen, Mrs. Banning. Sometimes the emotions are such that you're unaware of its happening. But it's a quick way of bringing the court into it. For the protection and welfare of the child.
JULIE: That's the last thing I want to have happen, Mr. Craig. I've been through that once. Never again.
DON (beat, then referring to her folder): There's just one other matter I want to go over with you. The matter of alimony.
JULIE: I told you I didn't want any.
DON: I'm sure I could get it for you.
JULIE: No, I don't believe in it. I do have certain principles, Mr. Craig.
DON: You have many.
JULIE: I wasn't sure what your opinion might be.
DON (beat): Something very basic. How will you live?
JULIE: I have a small trust my father set up for me when I was a child. And when I'm thirty five I'll come into a rather sizeable inheritance.
DON: A small trust between now and thirty five.
JULIE: Well, I hope to borrow some money from my mother against my share of the inheritance. I'm going to see her after I leave here.
DON: That's the first time I've heard you refer to your mother. I didn't realize she lived in Salem.
JULIE: She didn't until recently. Let's just say my mother and I haven't been very close.
DON: But you're confident she'll lend you the money.
JULIE: No, I'm going to have to court her a little first. I don't plan to ask her until I feel our relationship is on much firmer ground. Which will take a little doing.
DON: But definitely no alimony.
JULIE: Definitely.
DON: And if your mother turns you down? It's going to be quite a while before you're thirty five.
JULIE: Between now and then there's always the chance that some man will take pity and ask me to marry him. But somehow I'll manage to survive. I always have, Mr. Craig. And I always will...
DON (beat as he looks at her): No, that shouldn't be too much of a problem for you after all, should it.
(FADE TO BLACK)

ACT FOUR: INT. HORTON LIVING ROOM (SCENE IN PROGRESS BETWEEN ADDIE AND JULIE)

JULIE: Mother, I have a though. It's a lovely warm day. Why don't we collect Grandma, maybe take a walk, go and have a soda somewhere. My treat.
ADDIE (beat as she looks at Julie for a moment, unable to figure her out and yet unable, too, to find any hidden motivation): It's been, how many years, since we've had a soda together?
JULIE: Too many.
ADDIE (beat): All right. I'll go upstairs and ask your grandmother.
(BUT BEFORE ADDIE STARTS TO LEAVE, SOUND: PHONE RINGS.)
JULIE: I'll go ask Grandma.
(ADDIE PICKS UP PHONE. A ONE WAY CALL FOR NOW).
ADDIE: Hello...Why, yes, she is. (aside) Julie, it's for you.
(JULIE IS SURPRISED, YET WILL TRY TO MASK IT)
JULIE: For me?
(JULIE COMES OVER, TAKES THE PHONE, AS ADDIE WALKS AWAY)
JULIE: Hello?
(NOW INTERCUT DON FROM HIS OFFICE)
DON: Mrs. Banning, this is Don Craig. Can you talk?
JULIE: Why, yes.
DON: You'd mentioned where you were going and, well, it was something you said to my secretary that prompts my call.
JULIE: I really don't know what that could be.
DON: Your having referred to the divorce becoming final the day after tomorrow. It's a small point but important, one I did want to clarify.
JULIE: What is? What point do you mean?
DON: When you're in court this week, what happens is that the Judge will enter an interlocutory decree. Bur there's a three month waiting period before the divorce is final.
(TAKE JULIE TOO UTTERLY STUNNED TO SPEAK. DOUBLE BEAT, THEN)
JULIE (deeply shaken but mustering the strength to speak): Whatever would have given you that idea, Mr. Craig?
DON: Well, I just wanted to be doubly sure you understood. I'll see you the day after tomorrow then. Goodbye, Mrs. Banning.
(TAKE JULIE AS SHE SLOWLY HANGS UP, TOTALLY OVERWHELMED. THEN BRING ALICE DOWN THE STAIRS AND INTO THE LIVING ROOM)
ALICE: Julie, what a lovely thought. I haven't had a soda in I can't remember how long. Your mother will be right down, dear.
(JULIE OF COURSE HAS TO TURN, MUST FORCE A SMILE TO COVER THE MOMENT, AND HOLD ON HER DUPLICITY, HOWEVER LABORED...FADE TO BLACK)

If anyone cares, I have assembled two lists concerning DAYS, thanks to the help of @slick jones and @JAS0N47's site.

First is a list containing the age brackets of all the living actors who have played characters in at least 10 episodes, or characters related to the former.

Enjoy!

Great list!

I decided to google Loretta Fury to see if I could find any additional info. Unfortunately, it seems she died in 2016. I can't find anything to confirm her death other than at Ancestry, which a family member has her date of death as 2016 and mentions her in Santa Monica, as well as her brother etc...

I did find that she was born Loretta Ferrigno. And then she was married to Salvatore Giosa from 1952 until their divorce in 1982.

It will be 25 years next year for Arianne Zucker, if both she and DAYS make it there, that is…

 

Days is renewed through September 2023, so that part is done.

AGREED.

I am not asking you do this @JAS0N47, but only 90 times in all those years?  I wonder how many times they showed Bo/Hope or John/Marlena in their bedrooms throughout the years.  Probably near 1000.  I know it's not the same thing at all and not comparable and times have changed, but the DH's were churning out full out love scenes in their 50's which is the same age FR was when she started.

I have the yearly rankings for set lists compiled from 2009-Present, so that's about the last data (1965-2008 yearly set rankings) left that I have to compile. But I will get to it someday hopefully!

Seriously, why doesn't Corday/NBC/Sony employ @JAS0N47 in some capacity?  DAYS NEEDS an official historian!

They did contact me to help them out finding when Kathie Lee Gifford aired as the nurse so they could air a clip of her on the Today Show for the "Days" 50th anniversary in 2015. And they've used my stats to celebrate the 4000th episode parties for Dee, Kristian and Drake. But those are all freebies. So, I'm an unpaid historian at least!!

Lol.  Fair.  I am totally not doubting their off screen activities I just could never remember anything more than a few kisses and hugs on screen.  I was just curious if they ever got a fade to black sorta love scene or even a day they were shown (clothed) waking up together in bed.  I can't think of any other established couple on Days that never even got a hint of a love scene.

Just checked the cast/set lists. Here are the 75 episodes featuring Tom & Alice's Bedroom from 1965-2010. (Note: I also included the 15 listed as Horton Bedroom, although that set name could indicate a guest bedroom).So the bedroom appeared a minimum of 75 times, and a max of 90 times.
