He was recurring, but he thought he was sticking around. After he was cast, I must have tracked down his email address, perhaps through a casting site. He ended up sending me that autographed photo above (you can sort of see the Jason at the bottom) and told me he was surprised his stint was so quick. I guess maybe Days was negotiating to get John Ingle at the time they hired Richard. John was on contract at GH at the time, and so I guess they had to wait until GH allowed him out of his contract to join Days. But maybe they never told Richard that at the time of his casting.

RICHARD VOIGTS IN LOVING MEMORY NOVEMBER 25, 1934-MARCH 19, 2021 (Mickey Horton, 2004) Richard Voigts, the last living actor to have played the role of Mickey Horton, has passed away at the age of 86. Voigts died on March 19, 2021. His death was announced in the new issue of SAG-AFTRA Magazine. On "Days", Voigts briefly stepped into the role of Mickey for 3 episodes in 2004 after John Clarke retired and before John Ingle was hired to take over the role. Voigts appeared on many series from the 1980s-2010s, including "Hunter", "Murphy Brown", "Wings", "Chicago Hope", "Melrose Place", "The Drew Carey Show", "Sabrina the Teenage Witch", "Scrubs", "Gilmore Girls", "The King of Queens", "American Dreams", "The Shield", "Parks and Recreation" and "Grace and Frankie." His last role was on "Life in Pieces" in 2015. SIMONE GAD IN LOVING MEMORY APRIL 17, 1947-FEBRUARY 25, 2021 (Carol Proctor, 1965) Simone Gad, who spoke the first words ever on "Days of Our Lives" has passed away. Gad, who went by the name Simone Pascal when on "Days", passed away on February 25, 2021 at the age of 73. On "Days", she played Julie's friend, Carol Proctor, and was the first character ever to speak on the show in the pilot episode on November 8, 1965 when Carol says "Julie, you're the greatest" as Julie steals a mink stole from a department store. Jason47 did an interview with Ms. Gad in 2014: http://www.jason47.com/days/interviewsimonepascal.html Simone Gad, a well-known fixture in the Los Angeles art and acting community has passed away at the age of 74. She was adored and well loved by many. Simone was born in Brussels, Belgium and immigrated to Los Angeles in 1951 with her parents who were Polish Holocaust survivors. The family settled in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles. Simone was known/is remembered for her fun sense of style, especially her array of unique cat’s eye glasses and unending kindness. She also possessed a love for animals, and always shared stories of her beloved cats over the years. Her love of animals was reflected in her animal rescue/pin-up works she had been working on the past couple of years. Simone was involved in the Fluxus movement and rose to prominence in the 1970’s art scene. She began making collage and assemblage paintings on vinyl. In her later paintings, she featured very expressionistic images of Chinatown, Fu Dogs, and other architecture of the world such as San Francisco, Spain, and Belgium. Simone’s work has been exhibited throughout California, including at Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art, Molly Barnes Gallery, MOAH Lancaster, Track 16. She also showed internationally including exhibitions in Poland, and Berlin. Simone is also the recipient of numerous awards and grants and her work is included in private and public collections, as well as many publications. As an actress, Simone may best be remembered for her part in the feature film, “Speed” where she played the silent but stand-out bus passenger along with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Simone was also very proud to inform you that as an actress she was the first to speak lines on the pilot episode of the now long running daytime drama “Days Of Our Lives” with her line, “You’re the greatest.” Simone had many other acting projects, all unique like her. Her art, like her life, is a reflection of “Hollywood and survival.” Simone moved through life with joy and honesty. She was self-taught and multi-talented. Simone was constantly working on her art. Besides paintings, drawings, and collage, she was working on the third book of her “Molested at the Movies” series at the time of her death. The above text was written by ONE Archives Operations Manager Bud Thomas, friend of Simone Gad. Obituary via: (https://one.usc.edu/news/artist-and-actress-simone-gad-1947-2021)

MATTHEW ASHFORD NO LONGER ON CONTRACT... Per today's credits, Matthew Ashford (Jack) is no longer on contract. He is now listed in the recurring section of the credits.

Australia and Canada at least currently. I know in the past South Africa, Germany and England, but not sure if they are still airing it. Corday Productions even filed a lawsuit against Sony recently (they have since dropped it). But the gist of the lawsuit was that Sony was doing very little to promote Days outside of the US or selling it to as many countries as they could be. Sony is in charge of all the non-US areas for Days, so they decide where it airs.

My guess is 14442 is the last episode of the current production year, so it would air around 8/31/22. Don't know why they made that decision, instead of calling it 14169A, which they did once when they had to insert an episode at the last second for Thanksgiving 1986.

They have over two dozen new sets for these 5 episodes, so if they have to re-dress some stuff, so be it. It's cool we're getting a spinoff series at least!

"BEYOND SALEM" AD UP AT BURBANK STUDIOS... Thanks to "Days" fan Doug for providing these photos of a "Beyond Salem" ad at the Burbank Studios lot where "Days" tapes.

"BEYOND SALEM" SET SNEAK PEEK... Here's a tiny sneak peek at some of the set names for "Beyond Salem", premiering on Monday, September 6 on Peacock. See if you can guess any! https://64.media.tumblr.com/802228b58a03a7f1716fdfd6c833d2d4/a947d665df749185-f1/s1280x1920/19ca3666e5bb55f0655f66cf6499f57dc50feaf3.jpg

"DAYS" SCHEDULING UPDATE... "Days" has inserted an episode on Thursday, September 2, a few days before "Beyond Salem" premieres on Peacock. After # 14169 airs on Wednesday, September 1, the insert episode, # 14422, will air on Thursday, September 2, followed by # 14170 on Friday, September 3.

And fun fact, if people didn't know, the person heading Screen Gems' effort to get Days on TV was actor Jackie Cooper (Perry White in the Superman films). He took a break from acting from 1964-1969 to be a Screen Gems executive and he was responsible for finally selling "Days" to NBC in 1965!

Yes, Nancy Parsons.

The math begs to differ. They taped full episodes, one per day, back then. So, all those months where he had more than 8 episodes a month, he was working more than two days per week!!

JAY PICKETT IN LOVING MEMORY FEBRUARY 10, 1961-JULY 30, 2021 (Dr. Chip Lakin, 1991-1992) Jay Pickett, who started his daytime career by playing Dr. Chip Lakin on "Days of Our Lives" from 1991-1992 and later appeared on both GH and PC, has passed away at the age of 60. Pickett's character on "Days" worked as a doctor at University Hospital and briefly dated Julie Williams. Pickett's death was announced by an actor who was working on a movie with him this week. Actor Jim Heffel reported that Pickett died while filming a scene on the set of a movie: “Yesterday I lost a good friend and the world lost a great person. Jay Pickett decided to ride off into the Heavens. Jay died sitting on a horse ready to rope a steer in the movie Treasure Valley in Idaho. The way of a true cowboy. Jay wrote the story and starred in it. He was also a co-producer with myself and Vernon Walker. He will be truly missed. Ride like the wind partner.”

FROM THE VAULT: 45 YEARS AGO: MARLENA'S SEVENTH EPISODE: SLOW DOWN, DON! # 2677 (7/5/76): Don and Marlena come to Don's apartment after being at Doug's Place. They have some light fun as they try to get to know each other better, Don somewhat surprised at his attraction to Marlena. She is the only girl, other than Julie, who has really interested him in years. However, Marlena informs him he is coming on much too fast. As she heads for the bathroom, Julie arrives at Don's door. He is surprised and embarrassed to see Julie, knowing that Marlena is in the other room and should be right out. Julie needs a friendly shoulder to lean on. She can't face going to the Justice of the Peace's office. Don is shocked until Julie says that she and Doug and going with Robert and Rebecca, who will be married tonight. Then Julie's eyes light on Marlena's shoes, and Julie apologizes for interrupting Don's evening. After Julie leaves, Marlena very definitely tells Don she doesn't intend to be used to make Julie jealous by his pretending she and Don had a thing going. Doug confronts Kim about her not owning an island, only a cottage. Kim expresses her surprise that Don told Doug because the lawyer loves Julie, with Doug saying not everyone operates the same way she does. Doug wants to know what else she has lied about. He's had it. He's going to Chicago to check whether she did really get a divorce or not. Meanwhile, Robert gives Rebecca a bridal bouquet, both aware that it won't be much of a wedding, but Robert says his love for her will be enough for both of them, he hopes. Julie and Doug arrive with Robert and Rebecca at the Justice of the Peace, and it is a bleak little office. The ceremony is routine and uninspired, but they exchange rings and are married. All four try to pretend things are not as drab as they seem. Later, in the family room at Doug's Place, the wedding party foursome try to pretend that all was wonderful. Finally, Rebecca says she's tired and goes to bed, with Robert saying he'll take a walk until Rebecca is asleep. After he leaves, Julie breaks down, devastated for Robert. Pretty rough way to start a honeymoon, Doug says. The relationship between Robert and Rebecca is something they can do nothing about. Mike drops by Trish's on the pretext on thinking he left something there, but he is really there because he worries about Jack Clayton coming by, after having seen the man drunk at Doug's Place. As Doug's Place is closing, Stanhope and Jeri are still there talking. Jim says he's going to check Jeri into a room at his hotel. He's worried about Jack and thinks she shouldn't go back to him tonight. She can stay at the hotel until she finds a place of her own. Trish and Mike almost reach a new beginning when Brooke comes in. Mike says her timing is just great and slams out of the place. Brooke is upset that she interrupted, with Trish pretending she's glad she did. She doesn't need the scene of Mike trying to prove himself sexually with her. Brooke reminds her that if Trish doesn't try to help Mike, some other woman will. Later, Linda greets a subdued Mike who tells her he still hasn't found an apartment he can afford. Linda says he can stay at her place another night. Mike admits to Linda that he may have gone by Trish's with the idea of trying to be a man with her. Linda comforts him, telling him he'll find his manhood again when he finds love again. He loves Mickey and she hopes Mike will go visit him with her tomorrow. Jim brings Jeri to her hotel room, but he is a bit nervous. He wonders if she is worried about Jack, but she covers. After he leaves, she dials Trish and tells her if Jack comes around to keep the door locked and not to tell him where she is.

FROM THE VAULT: 45 YEARS AGO: MARLENA'S SIXTH EPISODE: IS MARLENA INTERESTED IN DON? # 2676 (7/2/76): In the powder room at Doug's Place, Trish tells Julie how wonderful it feels, to sing for her father and mother, tells her about Stanhope going to Jack's apartment, getting her out of a bad situation. Jack arrives at the bar, sees Jeri and Stanhope discuss his coming to Salem, what he plans to do. Marlena has gone to check her answering service. Julie joins Don. He tells her there are vibes with Marlena, maybe he's finally off the hook with her. He also tells her she should grow up: go after Doug. Julie says she wants to, but is not sure she can convince Doug she'll try to be a mother to Hope. In the family room, Doug, Rebecca and Robert discuss their plans for living together when the wedding is over. When Rebecca asks about Julie, Doug will only say it's now up to her. Marlena returns, has a few words with Julie, who then leaves. Marlena questions Don about Julie. We wonder if Marlena is getting interested in Don. Trish dedicates a song to her father, and Stanhope is touched. Jack is touched, too, but in the wrong kind of way. He stops Jeri on her way to the powder room, starts to give her a bad time, but Doug steps in, threatens to throw him out. Trish and Stanhope discuss what his coming to Salem has meant to her. Mike enters, has another battle with Brooke, which is partially overheard by Jack, who misreads everything, getting the wrong impression. When Brooke goes back to work, Jack and Mike tangle. Jack threatens to teach both Trish and Jeri a lesson. Trish comes to the bar, is surprised to see Jack there, but he is very nice, leaves, and Trish and Mike are by themselves. Mike is still uptight about many things, especially that Trish told Brooke of his failure to perform. She apologizes, saying she needed someone, but knows once again she's hurt Mike badly. Julie comes out of Hope's bedroom, Rebecca lays it on the line, says she has to stop this nonsense if she doesn't want to lose Doug, she can be a mother to Hope, but she has to make more of an effort. Doug approaches Trish and Mike and she asks for the rest of the night off, she's on an emotional binge, needs to be alone. Doug questions Mike when Trish leaves. Mike snaps that he and Trish have split and walks out. Don tells Doug about Kim not inheriting an island, letting him know if she lied about this, she could be lying about a few other things. If Doug wants Julie, he had better do something about it. Doug answers, saying it's his business and he's not about to apologize for his past. Trish goes home, unaware Jack is hovering outside in the corridor. As she undresses, the doorknob turns and twists.
