FROM THE VAULT: SHANE, KIMBERLY, ANDREW & JEANNIE SCENE... With Andrew Donovan appearing in "Beyond Salem" next month, here's a look back at a scene with his parents Shane and Kimberly and sister Jeannie (Theresa) from Episode # 6661, which aired December 13, 1991.

DAYS cares if it airs or not! It's NBC that doesn't care.

SUSAN SEAFORTH HAYES JOINS TOP 10 IN "DAYS" EPISODE APPEARANCES... Congratulations to Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie), who appeared in her 2,956th episode today, surpassing Macdonald Carey (Tom) for 10th place on the all-time list.

I think it's more that NBC doesn't care if much of the country doesn't see "Days" in its regular time slot and is forced to watch it on Peacock. In fact, that happened even before Peacock was created. It's been that way, since you mentioned, since at least 2015. There have been many episodes of "Days" fully preempted in almost the entire country for special reports and it no longer matters to NBC. The old rule was that if 20 minutes of an episode was preempted on the East Coast (or to a lesser extent, the West Coast, since the episode had already aired in a majority of the country), that would trigger a national preemption for the entire country and the episode would be pushed back a day. Now, whether they air special reports or not, the episodes continue to air as planned, regardless of how small of a percentage of affiliates air the episode.

56 YEARS AGO TODAY: EDWARD MALLORY DEBUTS AS BILL HORTON... Here's Ed Mallory's first day at work as Bill Horton, Episode # 158. A special report about the moon preempted "Days" on June 16, 1966, pushing this episode to June 21.

NBC's scheduling note, like last week, states that it is an optional special report for any affiliates airing "Days" while the hearing is on.

After some additional research, I found another unexpected Days actor to have had a maid in 1950 as well: 3-year-old Jane Elliot. Her dad was an attorney. I found one mention of her real last name in a 1965 interview she did: Stein, so that got the ball rolling on finding her in the 1950 census.

1950 CENSUS: THE HORTON KIDS John Clarke...Claremont, CA (Claremont verified as his high school hometown via newspapers) Marie Cheatham (Marie Hirth)...Houston, TX (new info confirmed with additional research: birth name is Marie Hatcher; parents divorced in 1941; father died in World War II in 1944; mother married Mr. Hirth by 1950; then mother married Odell Cheatham in 1952) Edward Mallory (Edward Martz)...Cumberland, MD John Lupton...New York, NY Patricia Huston (Patricia Baker)...Tucson, AZ (at Chi Omega Sorority House as a student) BRIEFLY ON "DAYS"...FAMOUS ON OTHER SOAPS Marla Adams...Ocean City, NJ Darlene Conley...Homewood, IL 1960'S "DAYS" CAST... Denise Alexander...Queens, NY Susan Flannery...Key West, FL (living at Mary Imaculata Convent as a student) (Key West verified as an early residence via newspapers) 1970's "DAYS" CAST... Jed Allan (Jed Brown)...Bronx, NY Joseph Gallison...Boston, MA Quinn Redeker...Seattle, WA 1980's "DAYS" CAST... John deLancie...Philadelphia, PA Joy Garrett...Fort Worth, TX Ron Leath...Graves County, KY Gloria Loring (Gloria Goff)...New York, NY Wayne Northrop...Sumner, WA Frank Parker...Upper Darby, PA 1990's "DAYS" CAST... Jaime Lyn Bauer (Norma Bauer)...Maricopa County, AZ Elaine Bromka...Irondequoit, NY Patrika Darbo (Patrika Meeks)...Myrtle Beach, SC Louise Sorel (Louise Cohen)...Los Angeles, CA William Utay...Dallas, TX

Here's John Aniston (Victor), then 16 and listed with his Greek last name Anastassakis, living with his family in Eddystone, Pennsylvania.

Here's 6-year-old Josh Taylor (Roman), then known as Tim, living with his family in North Chillicothe, Illinois.

Here's Peggy McCay (Caroline), then 21, and listed as a legitimate theater actress. She lived in New York City with her parents. Here's Frances Reid (Alice), and her husband, Philip Bourneuf. They were listed as radio/television actors living in New York. Here's Macdonald Carey (Tom) and his family living in Los Angeles. Already a famous movie actor in 1950, the Careys employed both a live-in nurse/nanny for their newborn baby, as well as a live-in maid. Very! I'm quite surprised and happy to see that the 1950 census is now already searchable by name. It was only released 2 months ago, so I thought we wouldn't be able to get the search-by-name feature available until some point in 2022, but it only took two months! Seeing Jim Reynolds, I've learned he was actually born in Kansas City and raised in Oskaloosa, so that's new info to me (I found a newspaper article to verify that as well). Also, Mac Carey was already rich enough in 1950 to employ both a live-in nanny and maid!

"DAYS" CAST IN THE 1950 CENSUS... Here's Bill Hayes (Doug) in the 1950 census. He's listed as a 24-year-old "television entertainer", living in New York City with his wife and two children. Here's Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie). Then known as Susan Seabold, she lived in Los Angeles with her mother, future "Days" head writer Elizabeth Harrower (then listed as an actress). Here's Suzanne Rogers (Maggie) in the 1950 census. Rogers, then known as Suzanne Crumpler, was 6 years old and living with her family in Petersburg, Virginia. Two-year-old twins Deidre Hall (Marlena) and Andrea Hall (Samantha/Hattie) lived with their parents in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan. Here's 3-year-old James Reynolds (Abe), living in Kansas City with his parents and two brothers.

Wesley Eure was the only one who ever had a contract, and he did remain as recurring from June 1980-January 1981. Tracey Bregman and Andrea Hall were never on contract, and they never did return after their stints wrapped in April 1980 (other than for Samantha to be killed off in 1982). Wesley Eure (Mike Horton) recurring: 6/6/74-9/25/74; contract: 10/3/74-5/21/80; recurring 6/9/80-1/16/81 Andrea Hall (Samantha Evans) recurring: 7/15/77-6/21/78; 1/10/79-4/18/80; 5/21/82-5/25/82 Tracey Bregman (Donna Craig) recurring: 4/4/78-4/11/80

Adding those additional actors from the story above. The story does not mention the exits of John Lupton (Tommy), George McDaniel (Jordan) and Natasha Ryan (Hope). Elizabeth Harrower 3567- Thomas Havens (Stan Kositchek) 3577- Stephen Schnetzer (Steve Olson) 3610- Dan Barton (Earle Carnes) 3613- Eileen Barnett (Stephanie Woodruff) 3615- Cindy Daly (Cathy Breton) 3615- John Stephenson (Terry Gilbert) 3617- Gail Johnson (Mimi Grosset) 3626- Margaret Mason (Linda Anderson) 3628- John Lupton (Tommy Horton) 3633- Robert Clary (Robert LeClair) 3633- Mikey Martin (Dougie LeClair) Ruth Brooks Flippen 3640- Rosemary Forsyth (Laura Horton) 3643- Mark Tapscott (Bob Anderson) 3651- Corinne Conley (Phyllis Curtis) 3652- George McDaniel (Jordan Barr) 3653- Tracey Bregman (Donna Craig) 3654- Ed Mallory (Bill Horton) 3657- Debbie Lytton (Melissa Anderson) 3658- Andrea Hall (Samantha Evans) Nina Laemmle 3681- Wesley Eure (Mike Horton) 3681- Suzanne Zenor (Margo Horton) 3708- Natasha Ryan (Hope Williams)

As mentioned above, all the characters except for Mike, Margo and Hope were already written out before she joined the show, but yes, she definitely knew she would be responsible for creating 8 entirely new contract roles, since they all debuted in her first 13 episodes, from 3659-3671: 3659- Stephen Brooks (Joshua Fallon) 3660- Charles Bateman (Maxwell Jarvis) 3662- William Joyce (Kellam Chandler) 3663- Gloria Loring (Liz Chandler) 3664- Brett Williams (Tod Chandler) 3668- Jean Bruce Scott (Jessica Blake) 3669- Dianne Harper (Leslie James) 3671- Deborah Dalton (Cassie Burns)

Most of the characters were written out before Laemmle ever appears on a script. Based on what I had read years back, I thought it would be all Laemmle, but once I finally got all of the script covers, I confirmed all the firings actually happened before she arrived. The only main characters who were written out once Laemmle first joined the show were Mike, Margo and Hope. Elizabeth Harrower 3613- Eileen Barnett (Stephanie Woodruff) 3615- Cindy Daly (Cathy Breton) 3626- Margaret Mason (Linda Anderson) 3633- Robert Clary (Robert LeClair) 3633- Mikey Martin (Dougie LeClair) Ruth Brooks Flippen 3643- Mark Tapscott (Bob Anderson) 3652- George McDaniel (Jordan Barr) 3653- Tracey Bregman (Donna Craig) 3654- Ed Mallory (Bill Horton) 3658- Andrea Hall (Samantha Evans) Nina Laemmle 3681- Wesley Eure (Mike Horton) 3681- Suzanne Zenor (Margo Horton) 3708- Natasha Ryan (Hope Williams) He became EP in Episode # 3595, and the characters started being written out as of # 3613, so yes, that lines up with it being Rabin more so than the head writers, since the firings were split up pretty equally between Harrower, Flippen and Laemmle.

I pulled the Flippen/Laemmle script covers to check exactly what they say: For Flippen's 25 episodes, this is how the scripts list the writers: 3634-3637 Story by: Ruth Brooks Flippen; Written by: Ruth Brooks Flippen, (Script Writer...see list below) 3638 Story by: Elizabeth Harrower; Written by:Ruth Brooks Flippen, (Script Writer...see list below) 3639-3643 Story by: Ruth Brooks Flippen; Written by: Ruth Brooks Flippen, (Script Writer...see list below) 3644 Story by: Ruth Brooks Flippen, Michelle Poteet-Lisanti 3645-3658: Story by: Ruth Brooks Flippen; Written by: Ruth Brooks Flippen, (Script Writer...see list below) 3634 Perry, Joyce 3635 Stannard 3636 Tomlin 3637 Poteet-Lisanti 3638 Rega 3639 Harrison 3640 Stannard 3641 Tomlin 3642 Poteet-Lisanti 3643 Rega 3644 Poteet-Lisanti 3645 Harrison 3646 Tomlin 3647 Stannard 3648 Rega 3649 Tomlin 3650 Poteet-Lisanti 3651 Harrison 3652 Stannard 3653 Rega 3654 Tomlin 3655 Poteet-Lisanti 3656 Rega 3657 Stannard 3658 Tomlin For Laemmle's 124 episodes, there aren't many where she's listed solo as the outline writer (just 25 of them). But there's no overlap of Flippen & Laemmle. For the outlines, it looks like most are either written by the script writer as well, and then 3714-3760 list it as a duo for the outline: Written by: Nina Laemmle/Michelle Poteet-Lisanti. And then 3761-3782, the outlines were done by the duo of Michelle Poteet-Lisanti & L. Virginia Browne. 3659-3673: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: Nina Laemmle, (Script Writer...see list below) 3674: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: (Script Writer...see list below) 3675: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: Nina Laemmle, (Script Writer...see list below) 3676: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: (Script Writer...see list below) 3677-3682: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: Nina Laemmle, (Script Writer...see list below) 3683-3685: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: (Script Writer...see list below) 3686: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: Nina Laemmle (Script Writer...see list below) 3687-3695 : Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: (Script Writer...see list below) 3696: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: Nina Laemmle (Script Writer...see list below) 3697-3703: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: (Script Writer...see list below) 3704: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: Nina Laemmle (Script Writer...see list below) 3705-3713: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: (Script Writer...see list below) 3714-3760: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: Nina Laemmle/Michelle Poteet-Lisanti (Script Writer...see list below) 3761-3782: Story by: Nina Laemmle; Written by: Michelle Poteet-Lisanti/L.

I found out about the preemptions on November 12, which is the day I posted about it on the web. I'm guessing the people at Days probably found out a little sooner than that. They were taping April at that point, so they would have written through some point in May at that point So this was always the time frame where the episodes would get back on track.

Thanks for the tags as always! I checked in my records from a long time ago that I had # 185 through 193 (except for # 191). When I saw 8/8/66 (# 191) posted today, I thought maybe this person might have additional episodes that I did not have, but this is not 8/8/66, it is 8/9/66 (# 192). So it looks like there may be just one more episode (8/10/66, # 193). I don't know if they'll post the wrong airdate and say that their next post is 8/9/66, but it will actually be 8/10/66. But in any case, I'm glad this opened up these episodes to a lot of new people! Here is the info for the missing episode, # 191: 191...8/8/66: Cast: Tom, Julie, David, Susan, Bill, Dr. Hendricks. Sets: David & Susan’s Apartment, Tom’s Study, Hospital Corridor with Phone, Hospital Waiting Room.

AUDITION POSTED FIVE MONTHS AGO..."ADELE" (OR CODE NAME) Here's another Vimeo audition posted five months ago. As always, the names and storyline details could be changed to hide the actual storyline: https://vimeo.com/653434130 ADELE: Go away. ERIC: I'm delivering something for Rafe. ADELE: Why don't you have your girlfriend drop it off? ERIC: You know why. ADELE: Am I supposed to be flattered? ERIC: Look, ever since you came to town you have been cold. I know you're all about the job but... ADELE: But what? You find it impossible that I'm not falling all over you. ERIC: You used to be... ADELE: Yeah, well, things change. And I don't know, maybe the whole you getting a girlfriend a week after we broke up thing kind of killed it for me. ERIC: Adele, don't do that. ADELE: Don't what? Don't lie? Oh, right, that's your department. Lying and leaving. ERIC: You were the one who asked me to. You said you didn't want a relationship. That you wanted your freedom. ADELE: I'm not doing this right now. You know, I came back and tried to track you down. Yeah, I even stopped by your old place. Tried to find some clue as to what could have happened to you. But when I got to your place, you weren't there, but someone named Nicole was. She was wearing your shirt. Are you going to tell me that she was just a friend? ERIC: So that's what this is. You're jealous. ADELE: Jealous?! Seriously. Okay, look, I thought I would try being honest in hopes that maybe you might return the favor but obviously that is too much to ask. You know, maybe I did start to care for you more that I wanted to admit but I sure as hell don't now. You're not nearly as interesting as the job. You may pray over people, Eric, but I protect lives. I alter people's fate. Even on your best day, you don't hold a candle to that kind of rush. She said her last name is Hunter, so I thought of Marcus right away.

AUDITION POSTED THREE MONTHS AGO..."JADA" (OR CODE NAME)... Here's an audition posted to Vimeo three months ago. As always, the role could be for a character named Jada, or a "code name" for a different name. The audition could also change storyline details mentioned to hide what the scene is actually about. https://vimeo.com/668975196 JADA: You could sue, but you'd lose. MAN: What? JADA: I'm sure Commissioner Hernandez explained that he had every right to bring you in. You'd been in possession of stolen property which was connected to a murder. Even the most junior attorney would have no trouble arguing that. MAN: This is a private conversation. JADA: Well, I could hear you from across the room, and since I know something about the law, I thought I'd save you a ton of time and money by telling you it's a lost cause. MAN: Money? JADA: Lawyers are expensive and you have to miss work to appear in court, so, technically... MAN: I was wronged and I intend to hold the department accountable. JADA: Fine. Bring your suit. Just know that if you do, what you did to your old cellmate will most likely be dragged into it. MAN: How do you know about that? JADA: Admittedly, it's your word against his, but a good prosecutor could build a solid case against you. And, from what I hear, Melinda Trask is desperate for a win and will do anything to get it. So instead of borrowing trouble, maybe you want to back off. MAN: And just who the hell are you? JADA: Jada Hunter, pleasure to meet you. MAN: Wish I could say the same.
