No posts here since 2014, however, if anyone is interested, I did seem to scoop that Ellen has cut back to just 137 episodes this year (an average of 4 a week) (down from her usual 170-ish a year), and will be using 33+ guest hosts throughout the season.

Her first guest host last week was listed as 17138G (the guest host episodes are always numbered after the # of episodes she does in a season). I posted the scoop last week on my FB page, but no one seems to have picked it up and spread it elsewhere. I guess some TV reporter will eventually post something if anyone realizes it, or if the Ellen show ever makes an announcement that as part of her new 3-year deal, it seems she's cutting back to just hosting 4 episodes a week.

So, once the news finally does get more traction, you can say you heard it here first at SON!

Up until Thursday, there was a chance the Episode # was just an error (and should have been 17168G), however, this week's guest host episode was # 17139G, so that assures it to be correct.

Speaking of....when is the last time we saw her on screen?

I wonder how the time jump will affect Chabby's Digital Series?

That's wrapping 11/7.

Fran Myers wrote her first "Days" script today in 18 years.

Here's the write-up I did for my FB page:

Long-time "Days" script editor Fran Myers, who has been in that role off-and-on since 1999, was also credited as the script writer for the September 16, 2019 episode. Myers was a full-time script writer with "Days" from 1992-1999, and once becoming the script editor in 1999, still kept writing occasionally from 1999-2001. Her last script, # 9155, aired October 11, 2001. 4,526 episodes have aired since her last script. "Guiding Light" fans may remember her as an actress, where she played Peggy Fletcher from 1965-1980.

No problem. If you didn't have it I hope it helps with all your research and information as it's so invaluable.

I was crossing my fingers that they'd have the full cast credits, but alas, it happened to be an episode where they didn't run them.

As for the Mary's, here's the info:

I was going to share this privately to people but the PM system still doesn't work so there's no point. It's an August 1980 episode that one of my favorite channels uploaded.

 

@jam6242 @JAS0N47 @vetsoapfan this is right after Julie got shot, so if it's new to you I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for adding my name so I'd see this post, DRW50. Much appreciated!

it's August 2019 and they're likely taping April/May 2020 (I still say lets keep an eye for any Christie Clark L.A. sightings soon, would be right around the birth of a Rafe and Carrie baby, which is not what I want but you just know Ron will go there).

 

EDIT: Did I miss who Brock Kelly is playing? Does it matter?

No announcement yet on Brock's character.

As for what's taping, they just finished March this week and are now fully into the first week of April.

I've had that  name forever, so I'm not sure. Either a picture in an old magazine or an old newspaper article.  It's been in my notebooks since at east the 80s. I easily recognize his face from GH back then, so if I saw a scene  I may have written it down from there. 

Thanks for the response! 

Thanks for the info. I'll add him to the list then on my site.

@JAS0N47  I have AG as Tex Chadwick, please let me know if you have a different actor and my info is wrong. Thanks! 

Oh wow. So he was at least originally conceived of as being in his mid-late 30s by the time the show premiered. Interesting.

Not necessarily. The Irna Phillips lawsuit in the 1970's states that the trio initially created the program in 1961. The proposal is undated, but it could have been written in 1961, so then the birthdates would have been adjusted to later years when Days was eventually picked up as a series 4 years later.

I just checked the "Days" proposal, and in it, Addie is said to have been born in 1926, and Mickey is "two years her junior", so he was originally born in 1928. Although those dates may have been changed through the years. But in the first statements ever written about Mickey, he was born in 1928.

No offense to John Clarke, but I was always amazed at how his looks took Mickey from being in his 20's in the 1960's to his apparent 50's by the 1970's. No wonder his storylines dried out by the time the 1980's arrived.

To be fair though, John was 34 when Days started in 1965, so he was 49 as the 70's came to a close.

Wow! Didn't realize Joan Van Ark was on DAYS! Cool. What was her character? How long was she around, was she well-liked?

And I presume those episode numbers are the ones they were shooting that day and that they did not air until a later date?

Thanks, Jason!

You're welcome! Yes, those are the episodes taped those dates, they aired a few weeks later.

Janene was played by three actresses. She was a model who briefly dated Bill Horton.

Mary Wilcox (Janene Whitney) 6/6/69-10/29/69

Pat Hornung (Janene Whitney) 11/5/69-3/19/70

Joan Van Ark (Janene Whitney) 4/27/70-9/11/70

Interesting to see Joan Van Ark working 4 days ahead of some of the better known performers.

Janene must have been important to the story at that time.

She had a busy week that week, but as to the order of the list. It's all of the contract actors (Mac Carey through Bill Hayes) followed by whoever works each day on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. That's why the yet-uncast U/5 Guard (working Wednesday) is listed above Mike Farrell (working Friday), who had been with the show since 1968.
