AFTER 14,830 WEEKDAYS ON NBC'S DAYTIME SCHEDULE, "DAYS" TO WRAP NBC RUN WITH 14,417 EPISODES... "Days of Our Lives" will wrap its historic run on NBC having aired 14,417 episodes (plus 2 repeats) and having been preempted 411 times over the course of 2,966 weeks on NBC's daytime schedule. "Days" airs it last episode on NBC on Friday, September 9 before moving to Peacock on Monday, September 12.

That's what I call my posts about old episodes! There is no literal vault, although they must keep the masters of the episodes, as well as the scripts, somewhere!!

FROM THE VAULT: EPISODE # 3345: FEBRUARY 1, 1979 At David's Apartment, Stephanie covers her slip of calling Trish by name by saying she recognized Trish from her picture. Stephanie tells Trish she understand her marriage to David was one of convenience, and so she won't mind now that Stephanie and David are in love and want to get married as soon as David gets the divorce. This information saddens Trish. At Marlena's Gatehouse, Samantha surprises and delights Marlena with her unexpected arrival. When Samantha brings Jerry Rhinehart in, Marlena is somewhat cool towards him. Jerry explains to Marlena that he was just doing his job in the custody case, and he's sorry about the Hortons. Marlena's attitude softens and she apologizes for her previous coolness. Marlena and Samantha fill one another in on what's been happening to them. As Marlena goes out of the room, Don enters and thinks Samantha is Marlena. Samantha goes along with it, teasing him when he doesn't approve of her short hair. When Marlena reenters, and starts giggling behind him, Don realizes he's been had. When Marlena comments to Don about how well Samantha seems to be doing, he says he can't help remembering what she did to them in the past, and he doubts if he will ever be able to forget. Marlena defends Samantha by saying that she was really sick then, and she doubts if Samantha will flip out again as long as she stays away from drugs and alcohol. At Mary's Studio, Chris and Mary are discussing the fact that Chris and Bob have resolved the mess with Chuck Merrill finally. Chris mentions how strange it was that Stephanie knew about the forged contract, and then they dismiss it. Mary tells Chris she went to see Linda and while Bill explained Mary's conversation with Melissa, Mary still doesn't believe the amnesia bit. Mary, in a pensive mood, tells Chris she really doesn't know him, he's always been silent about the women he's been in love with. Chris mentions he was in Vietnam, but the experience was so painful, he doesn't want to think about it. At Julie's Apartment, Hope comments to Doug and Julie on how nice it is for the three of them to be together for a change. After Hope leaves the room, Julie tells Doug how conscientious Steve has been in making amends for the fake antique boxes. They're in such a mellow mood that Doug decides not to go to work. Julie and Doug are cuddling on the couch, during a rare evening together, and Julie tells him she'd like to start a family and have a baby.

Sounds like she was out of money, the one year at Days helped fill her bank account, and then she asked to leave to work on a movie. Just found these for you: 10/3/75: 2/13/76: 6/21/76: I also stumbled into this fun find when I was looking up Susan Oliver: THE FIRST "DAYS" CRITIC?? Vince Leonard, TV critic for The Pittsburgh Press who died in 2019, might have been the first ever TV critic hoping for the cancellation of "Days"...one week after it debuted! Here's his response to a fan, which appeared in the November 15, 1965 issue, who asked why "Moment of Truth" (the soap "Days" replaced) had been cancelled:

ONLY EVE BIRTHDAYS... Fun Fact: Abigail Klein (Stephanie) becomes the third "Days" contract actor to be born on Christmas Eve, joining Patrice Chanel (Gail Carson) and Mark Valley (Jack Deveraux). Two "Days" contract actors have New Year's Eve birthdays: Don Diamont (Carlo Forenza) and Margaret Mason (Linda Anderson). While there are five "Days" actors in total to have birthdays on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, no "Days" contract actors have ever been born on Christmas Day or New Year's Day.

Floy Dean played her from 6/30/66-10/21/66 and Susan Flannery took over on 11/22/66.

FROM THE VAULT: EPISODE # 3858...THE BODY CONNECTION SET DEBUTS... The Body Connection made its debut on "Days of Our Lives" on Episode # 3858, which aired January 27, 1981. The set was titled "Unfinished Gym." Long-time fans will remember that is where Megan Hathaway was killed in the hot tub in February 1985.

FROM THE VAULT: EPISODE # 3344...1/31/79 Outdoor Pay Phone: Alice phones Laura and tells her Trish is at the park with Scott and the sitter. Park Playground: Trish is playing with Scott and can barely let him go when the sitter tells her he has to have his nap now. Alice approaches and Trish apologizes for not keeping their luncheon date, explaining she had to see Scotty. Alice and Trish have a talk and Trish tries to explain that she felt smothered and had to leave. Alice admits that she doesn't understand this, and Trish says she was afraid if she didn't get out fast, she'd never sing again. Now she realizes what she was looking for were all the wrong things, the really important things were right here. Trish asks Alice to talk to David about letting her see Scotty, and Alice says she will, but for Trish to be patient, it may take time. Don's Office: Don tells Marlena that his mother wrote Donna, accepting Donna as her grandchild and inviting her to stay there while Don and Marlena are on their honeymoon. When she questions him about Donna, he says he knows she's still mourning the loss of the baby. Section of Plane: Jerry Rhinehart sees Samantha and thinks she's Marlena until she explains they're twins. She and Jerry have a pleasant conversation and she tells him she's going to Salem to visit with Marlena now because she doesn't think she'll be able to attend the wedding. Farm Kitchen: Hank asks Maggie why she's not with Mickey, and she tells him Mickey is so busy with work. She adds that while she loves Mickey, she doesn't know if they should stay married, they've become so estranged. Don's Office: Mickey has returned from New York and Don tells him Trish is back. Mickey tells Don he wants to spend some time with Maggie at the farm, and Don says no problem. David's Office: David tells Stephanie he was finally able to contact the sitter and everything is fine at home. However, now that Trish is back, he's uptight because he doesn't know what to expect from Trish. Stephanie suggests he get a court order restraining Trish from seeing Scott, but David says he doesn't want to hurt her. Don/Mickey's Office: Mickey calls Maggie to tell her he's coming down tomorrow. Mike stops by and asks Mickey for advice about buying a house. When Mickey asks him if he's sure he can afford house payments, Mike tells him he's going to get a second job. He's going to quit school at night because it's more important for him to give Margo her house and garden as he had promised he'd do. David's Apartment: As Stephanie is preparing dinner for David, Trish rings the bell. In her surprise at seeing Trish, Stephanie calls her by name and Trish asks how she knows who she is.

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...

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
