I would love to know too... But I don't know how to find these things exactly. I know there are people who probably do know. Maybe you guys could help. These are the credits at the end of the episode.  

And I agree - the scene was beautifully written and acted. Something that I rarely, if not even... never see these days. And the pacing... the tempo of the whole episode... no rush... long scenes - just marvelous.

I cried for so long and thankfully my husband was there to hug me. He also got little emotional which is incredibly rare for him. He is beginning to love the show in his own way. Hates Vicky and Iris, likes Sharlene, Mary, John, Marley. And that scene for me... embodies the quintessential beauty of the soap opera genre. You bond with these characters episode after episode... and when situations like these happen, it strikes you right in the heart.   

That's amazing! Thank you!

Absolutely correct, Contessa.  The farewell to Doug was the last time for me -- and was the first time for years.  

I remember being a little girl, and it seemed my Mom was crying at her soaps even more than once a week.  But soaps were more believable back then, and were mostly based on emotion, rather than strong plots.  

What was Agnes Nixon's famous quote?  Something like -- "Make 'em think, make 'em cry, make 'em wait..."  ???

I imagine everyone here keeps up with Eddie Drueding's channel, but in case you don't, he has shared some clips from 1988 episodes he does not have copies of. I suppose this explains why I have never been able to find the scene where Rachel ices Liz out. I had all those on tape but had to get rid of them several years ago. I hope they show up someday. 

Sadly, this also means if you haven't seen this period closely you will not realize just how odd and spread thin the show was becoming by the last month of the strike. On the positive side, that means you are spared a lot of the terrifying Chris. 

I love the Thanksgiving montage in this second set of clips, especially knowing it is our last Thanksgiving with Mac.

    • A little too much focus on Chad and Cat today but I enjoyed the episode. I have a feeling that Jennifer’s gonna get dumped on though, even though I think that her anger is completely understandable and justified. And honestly, Ron is finally gone; Abigail can come back now.  But, welcome back, Anna! It was nice seeing Carrie have scenes with her mother. Christie Clark and Leann Hunley have never really had that many scenes together and to see them have them now is really nice. I’m glad that both of them were there to comfort Marlena too. Their words were definitely the thing that Marlena needed to hear. Btw, with all this talk of Noah, does it mean that he’s gonna be introduced soon? Amy, revealing that John changed her flat tire many years ago seemed a little random though. I would rather she have said something about how everybody in Salem knows of John Black because of how he was always such a hero. But at the same time, her story also showed what a great guy John was.  I liked Kate’s scenes with Philip too, and her promise to get back at Xander for what he did. And since we didn’t see JPL in the bed, did he need some time off or something? And yeah, everything involving ‘One Stormy Night’ still seems very Ron-like to me.
    • The second photo featuring the late John Spencer is from the Law & Order episode, "Prescription For Death", which was the (second) pilot/first episode all the way back in 1990! He played the father of a daughter that had gone to the ER for a mere sore throat but ended up dead because the doctor on call was drunk and had given her medication that she had an adverse reaction to, after receiving some other medication. So, he will always have that great distinction in addition to The West Wing. (The first pilot, "Everybody's Favorite Bagman", was filmed in 1988! The show was offered to CBS, but they passed. In syndication, it is oddly placed as the sixth episode of Season 1. And Roy Thinnes played DA Alfred Wentworth there. When NBC picked up the show two years later, Thinnes declined to return, and that's how we got Steven Hill's DA Adam Schiff.)
    • exactly. I can understand schadenfreude if it were real, but a lot of this is just an engineered distraction.
    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.  
    • I believe it was. And this is actually one of the cases where I wouldn’t mind some dumb soap opera bringing back from the dead. They gave Mishael, Amanda, with all of Hilary’s connections but none of the personality except for fleeting moments. Hilary absolutely should’ve just left town. They decided to kill her and the baby. Just baffling,
    • That was Mal Young right? He thought a tragic death was a better option than crafting a story where Hilary leaves town. Was it a case of punishing someone who wants to leave? And then they have to jump through hoops to bring the actress back.
