DAYS Casting News

According to this week's SOW:

Thaao Penghlis (Tony): The show has finally confirmed Tony's return: It's May 24. Could Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) and Anna (Leann Hunley) be far behind.

Steve Blackwood returns to DAYS on May 10 according to SOD.

From SOW:

Annie Burgstede, who plays hooker/pyromanic Willow on DAYS, has gotten the ax. The decision is storyline-dictated, says a show rep. Burgstede joined DAYS last October, when her character had an affair with Shawn and got pregnant. Burgstede's last airdate is June 4.

Good to have a last airdate on Willow. That would explain the amount of airtime and her heavy mention in May sweeps previews.

Another mention of Anna. For a magazine, that is far too random to mean nothing. I am hoping for confirmation on LeAnn and Renee within the next few weeks because if we now know Thaoo and Joe are returning after all the rumors about them it choose to beleive those two are returning as well since so far everything has been true.

Not too crazy about Bart but I will get by I guess.

It's not really recycled. We have a last airdate on Willow and yet another hint, to go with others from Thaoo, that LeAnn is returning. It's worthy of a thread since we did get some new info.

Vivian was never mention in a soap magazine. She was mentioned in an online TV Guide interview so that is a little different and that was only one hint. That and the poll about "Would people like to see Vivian back?" on the SOD website but the hints of a Anna return are becoming more prominent while the hints of a Louise Sorel return died out fast.

I agree although I would leave Bart out and I don't want Tony to be a cartoon. As much as I like Vivian, the characters returning right now have a place in what is going on. There are story options for Vivian but there is nothing on the canvas that I can see right now that requires her being used without being forced or coming out of nowhere. I guess if John's past plays a role this summer they could use her a little in that due to the past Alamain connection but, other then that, I don't see it with Victor being on the backburner and Kate always in her kid's business.

I do think she could return at a later point since Corday is into recent characters but it would have to be after the summer and once the umbrella story dies down I would think.

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago that perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. Since we hardly know anything about Leslie's childhood background. In addition, Leslie said she grew up listening to The Articulettes….
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
