JAS0N47

I did my best to edit out all of the wording on the photo, so hopefully this doesn't look too bad. I'll pair it with the 6/1/76 summary!

Any word on Suzanne Rogers’ status @JAS0N47?

No, just that she and John Aniston were not in the cast vets photo with Ken Corday at the party a few weeks ago, so looks like they might not be back as of yet.

I think the princess part was a lie.  As was her claim that she never divorced Doug.

 

Cool photo, Jam! Thanks for posting. I'll be posting the 6/1/76 continuation soon, so I'll use this as the photo. I googled for any photos of Helen Funai and Bill together, but didn't see any, so I'm glad you found a great photo of her actually in the outfit discussed in the script!

Woohoo!!   

Congrats to all the Days cast, crew & fans!!

From what I read of his time in the 70s, he was FAR more central to the story up to probably 1979 or 1980. His mentions tend to drop off a lot after he finally divorces Phyllis, and Amanda is gone from the show permanently. Much of his story revolved around Amanda, Greg, Phyllis, Bob, and Linda. Once those characters were gone by 1980, I think they really struggled to find a place for him, even with his popularity with Liz.

I suspect a lot of what made his character fit in the canvas ended up swallowed up by Alex Marshall. Even though he was popular with Liz, the mentions in SOD paint him as being increasingly the "go-to" doctor in that time, with his tortured romance with Liz being mostly an incidental thing more than a central driver of story on the show after 1980. I suspect a lot of this was also down to the youth obsession that took hold around then, leading to the fixation of Toad, Prissy Jessica, Clumsy Cassie, and Josh, before shifting to Bo & Hope after '83.

I hope it didnt sound like i doubted your info. If it did i apologise. Appreate you sharing all this stuff Jason.

It's all good.   I think I understood what you meant. Perhaps the top executives at the show and NBC may already know what the decision is, but until NBC makes the announcement official and the actual contract is signed, they can't say anything.

4 hours ago, Dylan said:

They could have already renewed it, Maybe just decided they didn't need a big announcment or press release this year for whatever reason, They would also probably have had to tell Ron what the deal is so he could write an ending.

They are done taping the current contract, so if and when anyone hears of the cast/crew going back into production, that would signal a renewal, whether or not NBC writes up a press release. Hopefully we will hear soon!

Was Bill Bell writing this btw?

Peggy Phillips created Susan in # 111. Susan appeared in 18 episodes before Bill Bell took over for # 168. So, without checking dates, this is most likely Bill.

That Tommy story is total BS.

I just checked John Lupton's appearances, and his longest stint away from the show was 2 years, 5 months: Last Appearance: 5/11/73, Returned 10/24/75. So, if the pancake story ever actually happened, it would have happened on those two dates.

Found these two interesting tidbits when checking on Pat Falken Smith. Never heard these two tidbits about Roman or Tommy before!

9/27/82: One time, Tommy Horton sat down for a pancake breakfast, disappeared for three years, and suddenly reappeared, eating the same pancakes. When Tom Horton asked where he had been, Tommy replied: "In another part of the house."

I wonder if we are catching up on screen to the point that production was shut down earlier in the year and if there will be any noticeable changes?

Are you talking about that first week in January when all the TV shows were asked to stay dark by the governor? The past three weeks of episodes are the first stuff that was taped in 2021.

Week of 1/4/21-1/8/21 PRODUCTION SUSPENDED

I heard from Nathan, who did the podcast, and he says that it was recorded in February, so when Thaao mentions going back on "the 8th", he is referring to March 8, not April 8.

Johnny really didn't have that many episodes, but it feels like he had a ton. Didn't he stick around long enough to meet Roman?

I think it was the handiwork of one of Andre DiMera's goons. Or someone. Something. I dunno, haha. It wasn't her doing though. I remember the scene when Sami transformed into Stan with prosthetics and a wig, and we ended the scene with Dan Wells in the role lip-syncing pre-recorded audio of Alison talking. 

That's how Ali ended up having so many episodes that year, since she did the Sami voiceovers, or her episode count that year would have been much lower.
