A. These characters are dull and boring.

B. These actors acting is mostly weak.

C. These characters completely dominate the focus of DAYS and its storylines.

D. DAYS have lost more viewers than any other soap since last year.

Now, if you connect A to B to C to D, you might be able to see a connection!

And THEN you remember how these cycles on DAYS always works. Corday creates a diversion by temorarily bringing back some vets and giving them airtime. But as time goes by, we will eventually down the road find ourselves back in a similar situation as to where we were earlier this year.

Drake Hogestyn

Deidre Hall

Stephen Nichols

Mary Beth Evans

Thaao Penghlis

Joseph Mascolo

A. All of these actors contracts expire next year.

B. Corday has confirmed he wants the show to be driven by younger characters.

C. DAYS is gone from NBC in 2009 and all Network Executives think these actors are too old and expensive.

As I said. Just connect the dots.

I know how negative and unpleasant this sounds. But Im just trying to be realistic.

The fact that any of those characters had screentime so far this year should a CRIMINAL offense.

Interesting I didn't realize Bumiller played the character in the flashbacks. He's done some small but important roles on other soaps, like GL, Passions, and Y&R.

Oh I'd say she's been a lot more episodes than that, it's just we only see her side or back, but she's always in the Brady Pub background.

I do my best to look for her in any Brady Pub scene since 1993 (and when I was doing some 1992 verification, I rewatched some Sept-Dec 1992 episodes and found many more with her (before I realized she'd be a consistent presence), so I added that to her total episode count. I don't think she's been around since January 18, her one appearance this year. They've had various other waitresses this year in non-speaking roles, they even opened a scene recently zoomed in on another blonde waitress. If I've missed any episodes with Lisa Williams, let me know, and I'll add them to her count. Same goes for Jacee Jule (Sandra, previously Java Cafe Waitress Patty) who hasn't seemed to pop up at all this year. She's there all the time anyway as a production assistant and Frances Reid's stand-in, so perhaps since Frances hasn't been on (and they haven't used Chez Rouge or Hudson Street Diner much), that's why she's been missing all year.

I didn't count Leann that day. They specifically moved her first airdate up in the magazines from June 20 to June 21, so I believe it was a body/voiceover double. I listed her as Anna Body Double in my chart for June 20. I compared it to Judi Evans debut as Bonnie (in just a voiceover capacity) when she first "appeared" just as Bonnie's voice. All the media stated that was her first episode, even though Judi wasn't seen, just heard. After doing these episode counts, now having over 20 years of them, I have to make decisions sometimes, and I've done the best I can with over 20 years worth of info. I'm only human, so I'm sure somewhere along the line there's a few mistakes (perhaps when zooming through the 1987-1990 episodes to get a character count, I missed someone, or when I did the charts for 1987-1990 on the computer, perhaps I placed an X next to someone's name instead someone else, but overall I hope that my counts are at least 99% accurate for the contract characters as well as all the main principals.

The only connection I see is that, even now with the DiMera's, the vets and improved writing, DOOL seems intent on putting very, very boring characters and/or storylines front center. For months it was Willow, the Island snooze-fest, the ignorant demonization of EJ; and poor Steve and Kayla. More recently it's been the new (boo!) early twenty-something characters; chaotic Chelsea and Nick, slurping Sami and Lucas, and dragging out the Belle, Philip and Shawn story with little to no progress.

I'm loving the DiMera's, Bo and Hope, Steve, EJ, Doug and Julie - and EJ and Sami - when we get to see them together that is. But it's hard getting through the other storylines to watch the good stuff. If I wasn't invested in the show, I probably wouldn't watch it: I mean if I just turned it on and saw Jeremy and company, or heard Sami and Lucas, well I'd turn it right back off.

All in all, however, the show IS better than it was as recently as early April (October to early April should just have been someone's nightmare -- I know it felt like one to me!)

Question: I saw it listed that J. Mascolo is signed till June 2009 - Is that information not correct??

I don't know. They are being so secretive about the contracts these days, I can barely keep track of who is officially on contract or not, with all the mistakes in the credits recently. I know in one interview I read it said Joe was signed for two years, but then a week a later he was quoted as basically saying it's only for a short time, presumably for 6 months or so, so I'll stick with the 2009 date for now. Kristian's status is still up in the air. Even her official site says her contract expired last month, so they have not updated her status yet either, so I've just been moving her status up month by month as each month passes. Jason

I also agree that Nick is on way too much. He's very irritating at times and should only be a supporting character. I wouldn't mind if DAYS axed him to tell you the truth. Also DAYS drastically needs to re-cast Jeremy Horton.\

That said, June's been the best month of DAYS in quite awhile IMHO. Glad to see the vets get their airtime up, hope it continues. More Bo, Hope, Marlena, John, Tony, Stefano, Roman, Doug, Julie & more Caroline, Shawn too. I also want more of Maggie and where's Victor?

I will agree they are using Nick way too much. I like him interacting with vets but still.

However, I don't care how much they use Ali. She is a vet and the show's future. She is extremely popular and is one of the reasons why Days didn't drop even further during their slide. Peter Reckell was on just as much last year and no one complained about him. Therefore, no one should complain about Ali either.

Hopefully, by the end of the year. we see the vets more prominent in the top ten. Reckell has made it in there with MBE, SN, AS, and BD and I am hoping KA and DH make it in there as well. That would make for a great top 10 at the end of the year and one that the show should always try to model.

    • Dani's past is worth examining. OK she was an international model, but settled for an up and coming lawyer and quit modelling on his say? Doesn't hold together for me. They need a better reason for her giving that up. Maybe due to some incident, her star was falling and Bill helped her? She must have been in awe of him to put up with the infidelities and it seems she didn't stray herself. Though we have seen flashbacks of them in happier times, so maybe Bill was charming enough to convince her that he really loved her. Did her parents apply pressure? Maybe they disliked Bill and she married out of rebellion and then refused to leave to avoid the "I told you so's" And what was it about Hayley that caused Bill to finally divorce Dani? Lot's of motivations that need to be explored.
    • That set looks like the backroom at a fire hall. No way would a casino design a special rollers room to look like that. I don't get it. If they really want this casino/mob boss story to work, they have to try harder. That set is atrocious and a joke, and they can't have it patronized by someone like Eva. They also needed to create a Joey who is feared. Who has he ruined? Bankrupted? Killed? Is his only hope for money laundering a doctor who gambles too much? Where's the news that Lindstrom is wrapping up his run? I wouldn't call that set not oft-used, either. We've seen a lot of it, which is why we're complaining about it.  
    • I doubt it's sticking around for much longer; it's not a oft-used set like Orphey Gene's or Uptown, so it's fine as is. Once Lindstrom likely wraps up his run, I'm sure it'll be dismantled and never seen again.
    • Yes, Nicole's work would be seen as important, but she's wouldn't be (arguably) a national figure.
    • Y&R 1976 Pt 4 Lance finally gets the opportunity to meet Leslié’s  husband. Laurie has told Brad she believes Lance is in love with Leslie, and Lance himself tells Brad he’s in love with Leslie’s talent. Laurie is beginning to feel  that Lance is using her to get close to her sister. ‘When Leslie has a concert scheduled in Mexico City, Brad makes plans to accompany her. But his violent headaches unexpectedly return, and he’s forced  to cancel. Brad doesn’t give her a reason, saying only that she must trust him. But Leslie recalls that he missed her last concert without a reason and presses for an explanation. Brad tells her his mother is ill, but Leslie phones Mrs. Elliot and finds her mother-in- law quite well. Lance has a business trip to Rome in the works,and Laurie again agrees to accompany him. She has told Brad that the best way to handle Lance, who is used to having females swooning at his feet, is to play hard to get, while Lance has confided to Leslie that — since Laurie is used to adoration by the male species, he will ignore her. As a result, their Rome trip turns out to be a supreme battle of wits, but, as Lance notes to Laurie, being predictable is boring. Jack, trying desperately to help Joanne become independent and self-reliant, has encouraged her to  go back to college. Brock concurs, and even arranges for Kay to lend Joanne the tuition money. But on her first day at the university she overhears Jack telling Peggy that after he gets Joanne back on her own feet, he can divorce her and marry Peg. Brokenhearted, Joanne goes home and starts eating, but she’s thwarted by having only diet foods in the apartment. So she decides to give up once and for all, and swallows a bottle of medication. Brock finds her unconscious and rushes her to the hospital. When she comes to, she tells Brock she’s going to give Johnny his divorce. Seeing the report at his newspaper, Stuart Brooks kills the story, then goes to see Joanne. She insists she doesn’t want Johnny to know what she tried to do. Stuart does, however, tell Peggy, who goes to see Joanne. Peg is overcome with guilt, but Joanne tells her she’s now decided that Johnny still cares for her because,  with Brock’s help, she realized Johnny has still never  actually mentioned a divorce to her. She declares her  intention to fight for what’s hers. Joanne is surprised when Peggy insists on taking her under her wing to select new dresses which minimize - her weight and a new hairstyle that’s more flattering  and up to date But Peggy explains. she has to help Joanne to be the best she can so she, Peggy, won’t — win Jack by default. Bill Foster is deeply in love with his wife, but. she has refused to allow him to share her bedroom since his return. When Chris explains that Liz had him  legally declared dead nine years after he deserted his family and that, to Liz, their marriage ended, Bill asks Liz to marry him again. Ironically, Sam Powers, the man Liz would have married had Bill not returned, visits Genoa City to try one last time for Liz’s hand. Bill makes it clear to Liz that he will step aside immediately if it means her happiness, but Liz quickly reveals that Bill is now a changed man and she has fallen in love with him all over again. They are remarried in their own living room and are unbelievingly surprised when, just following the ceremony, their children hand them their own luggage, packed and full, and they are presented with tickets for a dream cometrue honeymoon in Hawaii, a gift from Stuart and Jennifer Brooks, their son Snapper’s in-laws. Brad has taken advantage of Leslie’s concert tour to have extensive tests made in Chicago. Brad was, for many years, a successful neurosurgeon there, but he  gave up his practice when a patient, a little boy, died on his operating table and he then found out the ‘child was his son. The boy’s mother, Barbara, had become pregnant shortly before her relationship with Brad ended and never told him about the child, as she couldn’t use the baby to force Brad to come back to her. Now Barbara, a nurse in the hospital ‘where Brad is being tested, pleads with him to tell his wife what’s happening to him, but he insists he cannot. The specialists find all test results negative; there is no apparent cause of his blindness. He refuses Barbara’s  offer of help and returns to Genoa City alone. Leslie’s mentor, the Maestro, arrives home before Leslie and hurries to tell Brad that Leslie knows his  mother wasn’t ill but feels it would degrade their marriage if she asked him where he had been. The Maestro adds that it’s all up to Brad now. But upon Leslie’s return Brad continues his pretense and offers no information. He can'f bring himself to let her her see what’s happening to him. Chris is on duty at Legal Aid when a Mrs. Nancy Becker and her daughter, Karen, arrive, asking for help. Nancy’s husband, Ron, has been arrested, and they have no money for food or for bail. She explains that Ron was arrested for rape, but she insists he’s innocent before collapsing and passing out. At the hospital Snapper runs tests and finds that Nancy is in a diabetic coma and may be hospitalized for several weeks. Chris, sympathetic to the woman and her child, takes Karen to her mother’s, and Jen quickly offers to  care for the child. Hoping to locate relatives who can help his family out, Chris visits Ron in jail. He tells her he has no family-and Nancy is estranged from hers because of their marriage. He asks her for legal help, but Chris replies he’s talking to the wrong person - she |was once a rape victim herself. Ron is soon released, when witnesses verify seeing him elsewhere at the time of the attack. But Chris is uneasy; her intuition as a rape victim tells her he’s guilty. Ron has lost his job because of being arrested, and Chris and Stuart offer to help him find another. Jen offers to continue caring for Karen.

    • Major flaw! And that's why I said Dani would've been better off an screwed up kid (black sheep). Nicole got an award because she's doing important work. Depression is real, Mental illness is real. People are homeless and committing suicide in jails because they lack proper help. Yes, she modeled, but I mean, even Tyra pivoted into acting, talk shows, her own company, managing other models, etc.
    • I will admit to not liking John Bolger in the role of Phillip, but on rewatch, he has a really nice friend chemistry with Michael and Krista. And I think it's the only period of time where Phillip hasn't pulled Rick into some stupid scheme that ends up hurting the friendship.
