Saw in a script that Jeri Clayton's maiden name is Thompson. Was this known before? Don't remember hearing that name in the past, but maybe I just forgot.

Marlena asks Don to visit Mickey more often, seek out his advice as a lawyer, renew confidence in himself again. Don questions her personal life, finds out she's single. Mary and Bob are having lunch, and when Mary sees Don's interest in Marlena, Bob tells her she must see other men. But no one compares to Don, she says. At the hospital, Don and Marlena arrive, meet Tom and Julie. Tom and Marlena go off to their appointment and when Julie tells Don about Amanda, he says perhaps he'd better hold off seeing her right now. As her attorney, he'd be expected to tell Amanda things that should only come from Neil and Greg. Tom sees a forceful woman in Marlena, but they like each other immediately. She tells him she wants Mickey to spend time away from the sanitarium, increasing the time away as they go along, get the man out in the world again. Tom is impressed with this girl who pulls no punches. When she leaves, Neil comes in to answer Tom's call. Tom tells him that Amanda is asking about any man in her life. At the boutique, Don enters and asks Mary what kind of a gag gift he can get for a lady who must eat crow. Mary is shaken by his interest in the girl she saw him have lunch with.

Linda tells Marlena that she's been in love with Mickey for years and even tried to make him believe her daughter was his. When Marlena questions, Linda says this office couldn't stay open if it weren't for Don. Marlena goes to see Maggie at the Horton home to discuss Mickey. Maggie reacts to Marlena's youth and beauty. Marlena assures her she knows her job. Mike appears. Maggie leaves them alone. At first Mike is antagonistic to Marlena because she is a woman psychiatrist. But Marlena wins his confidence when she says she wants to make Mickey ready for outpatient therapy as soon as possible. Mike says he'll get an apartment today so his Dad can spend time with him. And he'll get a job to pay for the apartment. Alice comes home. Mike leaves. Marlena and Alice talk about Mickey's condition and Mike's need for his father. Later, in Don's office, Marlena comes to apologize for being suspicious of him. They end up with Don asking her to have lunch with him, and she accepts.

JASON47'S DEIDRE HALL COUNTDOWN TO 5000 EPISODES CONTINUES... Each of the 25 episodes that Deidre Hall appears in (from 4,976 to 5,000) will feature an episode summary countdown of her first 25 appearances on "Days" from 1976.

Mickey has sent for Marlena Evans, but when she arrives at the sanitarium, he doesn't want to reveal he needed someone. But deftly she listens and talks to him. He admits the world has closed in on him, he has nothing left, not even his son. Mickey confesses he feels Don Craig is stealing his law practice away from him. Marlena listens calmly, trying to help. Marlena emerges from Mickey's room, finds an irate Don, who has been told he cannot see Mickey without a Miss Evans' permission. Marlena introduces herself, but things are off to a bad start. Don says he will go to Powell. He comes back from Powell's office, raging. Marlena is waiting. He sarcastically asks if she will take the papers to Mickey that require signing. Marlena says of course, leaving a very uptight Don. Later, Don and Marlena have a conversation. Don has cooled down somewhat, as he begins to understand this is a very sharp lady, he is forced to grudging respect. They discuss Mickey, his need for Mike.

JASON47'S DEIDRE HALL COUNTDOWN TO 5000 EPISODES TRIBUTE BEGINS... Each of the next 25 episodes that Deidre Hall appears in (from 4,976 to 5,000) will feature an episode summary countdown of her first 25 appearances on "Days" from 1976. Today's countdown begins with Deidre's debut episode, # 2667, which aired June 21, 1976. Deidre Hall Countdown: 4,976 Episodes...24 Episodes to go. 2667...6/21/76: EPISODE # 1: Cast: Tom, Mickey, Bill, Greg, Amanda, Brooke, Trish, Marlena, Jeri, Hank, Rosie, Nathan, Stanhope, Ginny, Dr. Powell, Jennifer Rose. Sets: Amanda's Hospital Room & Waiting Area Outside, Laura's Den/Hallway/Front Door, Phoenix Bank, Sanitarium Dayroom, Phoenix Coffee Shop, Brooke's Apartment, Tom's Hospital Office, Dr. Powell's Sanitarium Office, Hospital Coffee Shop. Marlena Evans is introduced in this script as an independent, intelligent young woman whose career as a psychiatrist brings her into Mickey's life. She introduces herself to Mickey in the sanitarium dayroom while he is studying moves on a chessboard. She says she has spoken to Dr. Powell and if Mickey agrees, she will take him on as a patient. Subsequent to her conversation with Mickey, Marlena goes to Dr. Powell's office to discuss Mickey's case with him, agreeing to take the case if Mickey wants her as his psychiatrist. Whereupon Powell agrees to grant Mickey's request regarding no more sedation if Mickey will let Dr. Evans be his therapist. But no more games: Mickey has to play it straight with her. Later, as Bill exits Amanda's hospital room, Marlena approaches and introduces herself, explaining her need to find out as much information as she can about Mickey so as to help him effectively, and she thought the best place to start would be with the man's brother. Over coffee in the hospital coffee shop, Bill and Marlena continue their discussion about Mickey and the fact that Mike may also be helped by trying to help his father. Marlena expresses her fear that Mickey has found a comfortable cave to hide in and he must be coaxed out into the light again if he is ever to get well.

"DAYS" DIRECTOR & STAFF WRITER TOTALS: 2002-2022

A lot of actor deaths aren't found out until their deaths are published in the SAG-AFTRA Magazine memorial list (they publish lists of all deaths that the SAG-AFTRA union is made aware of). I read through the list each time it is published (4-5 times a year) and look for any Days names on it. Robert Gentry's death seems not to have been announced before the posting in the memorial list. Another "Days" actor, Neil Vipond, who played Dr. Henry Appleby for 5 episodes in 1998, was also on the list. I added him to my Days memorial list as well.

ROBERT GENTRY IN LOVING MEMORY SEPTEMBER 29, 1940-SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 (Dr. Roger Hunt, 1994-1995) Robert Gentry, who appeared as Dr. Roger Hunt on "Days of Our Lives" from 1994-1995, has passed away at the age of 81. In the storyline, Dr. Hunt briefly dated Laura Horton. Gentry appeared in countless soap operas through the years. His longest-running roles were as Ed Bauer on "Guiding Light" (1966-1969 and 1996-1998) and Ross Chandler on "All My Children" (1985-1990), a role which netted Gentry two Daytime Emmy nominations. His death was reported in the December SAG-AFTRA Magazine memorial list.

I just checked the NBC plans. The special report notice states NBC anticipates it to run between 60 to 90 minutes.

Because Missy Reeves quit the show. They were readying the Aremid spinoff and had just placed the Aremid gang (Rachel Blake, Jude St. Clair and Parrot Man) all on contract just a week or so before Missy quit. I had asked Barry Cutler (Parrot Man) when I interviewed him a long time ago why he had been briefly placed on contract, so that was the reason.

ROBERT CLARY IN LOVING MEMORY MARCH 1, 1926-NOVEMBER 16, 2022 (Robert LeClair, 1972-1973; 1975-1983; 1986-1987) Robert Clary, who played the lovable Robert LeClair on "Days of Our Lives" for 527 episodes throughout the 1970's and 1980's has passed away. Clary died on Wednesday, November 16 at the age of 96. Obituary via...https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/robert-clary-dead-hogans-heroes-1235263555/ Robert Clary, the French actor, singer and Holocaust survivor who portrayed Corporal LeBeau on the World War II-set sitcom Hogan’s Heroes, has died. He was 96. Clary, who was mentored by famed entertainer Eddie Cantor and married one of his five daughters, died Wednesday morning at his home in Los Angeles, his granddaughter Kim Wright told The Hollywood Reporter. CBS’ Hogan’s Heroes, which aired over six seasons from September 1965 to April 1971, starred Bob Crane as Colonel Robert E. Hogan, an American who led an international group of Allied prisoners of war in a convert operation to defeat the Nazis from inside the Luft Stalag 13 camp. As the patriotic Cpl. Louis LeBeau, the 5-foot-1 Clary hid in small spaces, dreamed about girls, got along great with the guard dogs and used his expert culinary skills to help the befuddled Nazi Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Werner Klemperer) get out of trouble with his superiors. Clary was the last surviving member of the show’s original principal cast. Born Robert Max Widerman in Paris on March 1, 1926, Clary was the youngest of 14 children in a strict Orthodox Jewish family. At age 12, he began singing and performing; one day when he was 16, he and his family were rounded up and sent to Auschwitz. “My mother said the most remarkable thing,” Clary told The Hollywood Reporter’s Peter Flax in late 2015. “She said, ‘Behave.’ She probably knew me as a brat. She said, ‘Behave. Do what they tell you to do.'” Clary’s parents were murdered in the gas chamber that day. At Buchenwald, Clary sang with an accordionist every other Sunday to an audience of SS soldiers. “Singing, entertaining and being in kind of good health at my age, that’s why I survived,” he told Flax. Clary was incarcerated for 31 months (he worked in a factory making 4,000 wooden shoe heels each day) and tattooed with the identification “A-5714” on his left forearm. He was the only one of his captured family to make it out alive. He chose not to talk about his Holocaust experience for almost four decades. “For 36 years I kept these experiences during the war locked up inside myself,” he once said. “But those who are attempting to deny the Holocaust, my suffering and the suffering of millions of others have forced me to speak out.” Did Clary have any reservations about doing a comedy series dealing with Nazis and concentration camps? “I had to explain that [Hogan’s Heroes] was about prisoners of war in a stalag, not a concentration camp, and although I did not want to diminish what soldiers went through during their internments, it was like night and day from what people endured in concentration camps,” he wrote in his inspirational 2001 memoir, From the Holocaust to Hogan’s Heroes. After being liberated, Clary returned to France in May 1945 and sang in dance halls. He came to Los Angeles in 1949 to record for Capitol Records and a year later appeared in a French comedy skit on a CBS variety show hosted by vaudevillian Ed Wynn. Clary appeared in such films as Ten Tall Men (1951) and Thief of Damascus (1952), then met Cantor, who took him to New York to perform at the tony La Vie en Rose club. He came to the attention of producer Leonard Sillman, who cast Clary in the Broadway musical revue New Faces of 1952. He sang “Lucky Pierre” and “I’m In Love With Miss Logan” in the show, which also featured Eartha Kitt, Paul Lynde, Ronny Graham, Alice Ghostley and Carol Lawrence and had sketches written by Mel Brooks. New Faces was filmed by Fox and played in movie theaters in 1954. Clary then appeared again on Broadway in 1955 in the musical Seventh Heaven, which starred Gloria DeHaven, Ricardo Montalban and Bea Arthur. The actor showed up in the Paris-set Paul Newman-Joanne Woodward film A New Kind of Love (1963), and in the Robert Wise-directed The Hindenburg (1975), he portrayed a passenger (a circus acrobat) on the doomed airship’s final voyage. Clary also worked on the daytime soap operas Days of Our Lives, The Young and the Restless (his character, Pierre Roulland, owned a restaurant/club in Genoa City, then was murdered) and The Bold and The Beautiful. He sang on several jazz albums that featured the work of songwriters like Irving Berlin and Johnny Mercer. (Also a part of his discography: Hogan’s Heroes Sing the Best of WWII, recorded with his castmates Richard Dawson, Larry Hovis and Ivan Dixon.) Clary worked closely with the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, speaking at universities across the country for more than two decades. An accomplished painter, Clary was married for 32 years to the late Natalie Cantor, the second daughter of Eddie Cantor. She died in 1997.

JOHN ANISTON'S "DAYS" DEBUT... Here's a look at John Aniston's debut as Dr. Eric Richards, Episode # 1083, aired February 24, 1970.

JOHN ANISTON IN LOVING MEMORY JULY 24, 1933-NOVEMBER 11, 2022 (Eric Richards, 1970; Victor Kiriakis, 1985-2022)

"DAYS" WILL AIR NEW EPISODE ON THANKSGIVING DAY... The mystery of what "Days" would do with the annual National Dog Show preemption on Thanksgiving Day, now that it no longer airs on NBC, has finally been solved. "Days" will air an inserted episode, numbered # 14664, on Thanksgiving Day this year. "Days" had only two options: either preempt the show on Peacock on Thanksgiving Day, or write a new episode as filler to keep the other holidays (Christmas, New Year's) from airing a day early.
