"DAYS" SOAP OPERA DIGEST SYNOPSES ARCHIVE UPDATED... "Days of Our Lives" fans now have access to every Soap Opera Digest synopsis from 1975-present, with the addition of all of the synopses from 2020 and 2021. A great thanks goes to "Days" fan Matt, who started off the archive years ago, posting all of the synopses from 1975-2014. The full archive is available at the links below: 1975-1979: http://www.jason47.com/days/synopsessod.html 1980-1984: http://www.jason47.com/days/synopsessod2.html 1985-1989: http://www.jason47.com/days/synopsessod3.html 1990-1994: http://www.jason47.com/days/synopsessod4.html 1995-1999: http://www.jason47.com/days/synopsessod5.html 2000-2004: http://www.jason47.com/days/synopsessod6.html 2005-2009: http://www.jason47.com/days/synopsessod7.html 2010-2014: http://www.jason47.com/days/synopsessod8.html 2015-2019: http://www.jason47.com/days/synopsessod9.html 2020-2022: http://www.jason47.com/days/synopsessod10.html

No, most of the bottom two rows are recurring. There's always been a split with all the contract cast first (usually in contract signing order, or close enough), followed by the recurring actors in any random order, not signifying seniority, so that's why we never know where the contract cast ends. They usually average 30-34ish on contract, so most likely the top 3 rows (33...30 we can see, 3 we can't) are contract and a majority of rows 4 & 5 are recurring. This seems to be the actors, as far as I can tell: 1st Row: Suzanne Rogers (Maggie), Lauren Koslow (Kate), Josh Taylor (Roman), Jim Reynolds (Abe), Eric Martsolf (Brady), Deidre Hall (Marlena), Drake Hogestyn (John), Mary Beth Evans (Kayla), Rob Wilson (Ben), Ari Zucker (Nicole), Paul Telfer (Xander, not pictured); 2nd Row: Stephen Nichols (Steve), Lindsay Arnold (Allie), Emily O'Brien (Gwen), Lucas Adams (Tripp), Billy Flynn (Chad), Brandon Barash (Jake), Tamara Braun (Ava), Galen Gering (Rafe), Camila Banus (Gabi), Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe), Brandon Beemer (Shawn; not pictured); 3rd Row: Martha Madison (Belle), Jackee Harry (Paulina), Raven Bowens (Chanel), Dan Feuerriegel (EJ), Carson Boatman (Johnny), Matt Ashford (Jack), Marci Miller (Abigail), Linsey Godfrey (Sarah), new contract actor (TBA), Sal Stowers (Lani), 11th photo not pictured (possibly contract or recurring); 4th Row (either some contract or all recurring actors): Zach Tinker (Sonny), Greg Rikaart (Leo), Victoria Konefal (Ciara), Stacy Haiduk (Kristen/Susan), Susan Hayes (Julie), Bill Hayes (Doug), Judi Evans (Bonnie), Wally Kurth (Justin), John Aniston (Victor), Patrika Darbo (Nancy), 11th photo not pictured; 5th Row: Heather Lindell (Jan), Thaao Penghlis (Tony), Leaan Hunley (Anna), Melissa Reeves (Jennifer), Tina Huang (Trask), Greg Vaughan (Eric), Chandler Massey (Will), Lamon Archey (Eli), Bryan Dattilo (Lucas) and ??.

NEW PHOTO CHART POSTED... A fuller version of the new cast chart was seen this week in an actor's dressing room. The additional 5th row of actors can now be seen. Please note that the last actor in each row is not visible in the photo. Actors in the newly-seen bottom row include: Heather Lindell (Jan), Thaao Penghlis (Tony), Leaan Hunley (Anna), ??, ??, Greg Vaughan (Eric), Chandler Massey (Will), Lamon Archey (Eli), ?? and ??.

1. He's on the contract credits last week and this week on both NBC and Peacock. 2. He's on contract position in the photo chart above. 3. He was pictured in the 56th anniversary cast photo in November. All 3 items means he is not gone forever, or perhaps at the most, he is off-screen for a bit just as his new contract started.

DECEMBER PHOTO CHART REVEALS CONTRACT CAST FOR SOMETIME IN 2022... A new photo chart from the "Days" makeup & hair room was posted recently online. It reveals the contract cast for some point in 2022 (depending on the last time the photo was updated). This confirms that Sal Stowers (Lani) and Lamon Archey (Eli) are indeed no longer on contract (although Stowers is pictured later on the 3rd row, possibly signaling that she goes back on contract at some point next year). One other actor, Bryan Dattilo (Lucas) is also no longer pictured on the chart, meaning he goes off contract at some point in 2022. 1st Row: Suzanne (Maggie), Lauren (Kate), Josh (Roman), Jim (Abe), Eric (Brady), Dee (Marlena), Drake (John), Mary Beth (Kayla), Rob (Ben), Ari (Nicole), Paul (Xander) 2nd Row: Stephen (Steve), Lindsay (Allie), Emily (Gwen), Lucas A (Tripp), Billy (Chad), Brandon Barash (Jake), Tamara (Ava), Galen (Rafe), Camila (Gabi), Nadia (Chloe), Brandon Beemer (Shawn; not pictured) 3rd Row: Martha (Belle), Jackee (Paulina), Raven (Chanel), Dan (EJ), Carson (Johnny), Matt (Jack), Marci (Abigail), new contract role/returnee? (TBA), new contract role? (TBA), Sal Stowers (Lani), followed by the 11th actor in this row who is not pictured. 4th Row (possibly contract or recurring): Zach Tinker (Sonny), Greg Rikaart (Leo), Victoria (Ciara), Stacy (Kristen/Susan), Susan (Julie), Bill (Doug), Judi (Bonnie), ??, John (Victor), followed by possible additional recurring actors.

You need this page of my site then! I post the contract cast list the first time it airs in the credits each month, so you can browse the past 40+ years (as well as earlier from production paperwork) to see who is on contract in any given month of any given year: http://www.jason47.com/days/contractstatsarchive.html

SAL STOWERS ALSO LISTED AS RECURRING ON PEACOCK VERSION OF CREDITS... Sal Stowers (Lani) is listed along with Lamon Archey (Eli) in the recurring section of today's Peacock credits. The NBC version of the credits aired today still had Stowers listed in the contract section.

Greg is in the recurring list.

LAMON ARCHEY NOW LISTED AS RECURRING IN CREDITS; MATTHEW ASHFORD & MARCI MILLER BACK ON CONTRACT CAST... Today's "Days" credits listed both Matthew Ashford (Jack) and Marci Miller (Abigail) in their original contract positions. Lamon Archey (Eli) is now listed in the recurring section.

THE 2021 HORTON CHRISTMAS TREE... Here's some photos of different angles of the Horton Christmas tree, so you can see the additional ornaments that were on the tree but didn't make it on air: HORTON ORNAMENTS # 73 & # 74 DEBUT...WELCOME CARVER & JULES!

No, I never heard the reason for that quick recast.

Yeah, I saw the same mention of 12, but it varies all the time, so it must just be an average of 12 throughout the year. The last few weeks, for example, have been this: 11/15...12 11/16...13 11/17...12 11/18...14 11/19...14 11/22...11 11/23...14 11/24...12 11/26...14 11/29...15 11/30...11 12/1...16 12/2...12

People used to have 3-episode (150 per year) and 4-episode (200 per year) guarantees. Now the max "Days" seems to be giving out is 2-episode (100 per year) guarantees.

ELIZABETH SNYDER IN LOVING MEMORY JANUARY 9, 1961-NOVEMBER 9, 2021 "Days" Staff Writer, 2003, 2011-2012, 2016-2021 Elizabeth Snyder, who was a "Days" breakdown writer in 2003, 2011-2012 and 2016-2021, passed away on Tuesday, November 9, a few days after her final "Days" episode aired. Elizabeth F. "Betsy" Snyder passed away on November 9, 2021, after a brief illness. Born in 1961 in Buffalo, NY, Betsy lived most of her adult life in Pasadena, CA, where she had an Emmy-winning writing career. She is survived by her husband, Clay Marquardt, son Charlie and daughter Anne. She is also survived by her father, George L. Snyder, siblings Philip Snyder (Julie), Amy Snyder Doldo (John), George Snyder Jr. (Lidia) and Jane Snyder and step-siblings Catherine Luhr, Mary E. Luhr Johnson, Adair Luhr Kearney (Kevin), Julie Luhr, Ann Marie Luhr, John Paul Luhr Jr., Florine Luhr, and Eileen Luhr. She is predeceased by her mother, Anne Bradt Snyder, and stepmother, Leah Luhr Snyder. She will be greatly missed by the Nowaks, Hamlins, and Muglers of Buffalo, and Snyders of Ohio. A Buffalo-based celebration of her life will be held at a later date. Flowers gratefully declined. Contributions may be made in her honor to the Writers Guild Foundation (https://www.wgfoundation.org/), which preserves and promotes the history and craft of writing for the screen.

Those are thanks to some Academy Player Directories I picked up through the years, which are sort of a "yearbook" for casting directors at the time, with all of the actor's headshots/agent info. I just checked the one edition (1979) I have during McGurrin's acting time frame, but he is not in that, so can't help with his photo! Good find! I happened to be checking the old Academy Player Directories just as you were posting this.
