Barry Cutler appeared on "Days" from 1995-1996 as Parrot Man, one of the most unique characters ever on "Days". Parrot Man was one of many strange characters introduced during "Days" Aremid storyline. He recently agreed to do an interview for my website. See how Barry got his "Days" role, what the plans were for the Aremid gang, and see what he's up to now. http://www.jason47.com

The Parrot Man was one of my favorite Aremid characters! In fact, I loved that whole storyline and everyone in it. It was a silly attempt at goth, but I loved it. The talking paintings, the woman in white, Tony shooting himself after Jenn and Peter's wedding. *sigh* And I loved Kristi McDaniel(Sarah, who I will always believe was the precursor to Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald on Passions) and wished they had her do something other than play opposite Mark Valley. She wasn't in Reilly's plan, but I wish they would have kept her on DAYS after the spinoff plans fell through. Sarah/Eric would have been great together.

Damn you Melissa Reeves for f*&king Jason Brooks and screwing us out of that spinoff. We could have avoided Passions and maybe even Sunset Beach.

Quick ETA: Culter's a little mistaken though. The numbers went up during the Demonic Possession story and stayed up during Aremid, but they didn't go up as a direct result of that story. The story helped DAYS stay solid.

And thanks for the interview Jason. :D

I think the spin off didn't happened because JER wanted to own it and Corday said no chance in hell. Something like that must have happened, so JER packed up and said f*** you to Corday by leaving to create Passions.

Thanks, Jason!

I loved Parrot Man too. He was another unique and fun creation of Jim Reilly's that stood out. Aremid was by far one of JER's best longterm stories. So many awesome things happened.

I had a huge crush on Kristi McDaniel. :wub: She and Mark Valley had a lot of chemistry, and I wish she kept her on too.

I thought the spinoff would be a joint venture between NBC and Corday? I specifically remember reading that early on(prior to Missy leaving) that the project would be a joint venture between Corday/NBC. Even *IF* Reilly wanted no part of the spinoff because of ownership issues, why didn't Corday just greenlight the damn thing anyway and get someone else to HW(leaving Reilly's name, as a creator and story consultant in the credits)? Corday was stupid for not edging out Reilly and attempting to capitalize on the show's ratings success(much in the same way Riche screwed Labine over by offering up PC as a cheaper, network-owned friendly alternative to Labine's Heart and Soul).

I specifically remember you saying on another MB years ago(not this one) that Reilly specifically sought out McDaniel for the role of Charity on Passions. Is that still the case or was that just one of those rumors?

Thank you so much, Jason! It was so great seeing Kristi again, and she still looks so freakin beautiful. :wub: I wish she was back on my tv screen. If I'm ever in LA, I'm so going to that boutique.....maybe with a picture of Kristi so she can sign it. LOL

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By DRW50 · Posted

      I watched some of Friday's show. It was sweet to see Julie celebrate her wedding anniversary to Doug (their second - kudos to the writing team for remembering). Those moments with Julie are always so moving to me because you can tell they are straight from Susan's heart.  I know Patsy Pease hasn't been on DAYS in 15 years, but I still miss Kim in weeks that are so important for the Bradys and their history on the show. Michael Dietz was always a very likeable presence onscreen, even if he was never the greatest actor. That hasn't changed.  I was impressed with how well put together the montage was of John's various identities/memories. A number of those stories were ludicrous, and several of them never should have existed, but the way this was all crafted you could see just what a unique character all those parts made John...and how much Drake played the material as best he could, no matter what. The mirror scene was a great inclusion as that really wrapped everything of John together - viewers never truly knew who he was, nor did the people in Salem, but it didn't matter, as everyone loved him anyway.

      GH: Classic Thread

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Thanks @Paul Raven  Amidst these terrible stories I see we get the arrival of Heather. I never knew Alice forged references for her. No wonder she later became a murderer. She was a criminal all along.  The Jeff/Monica/Rick story always seems so brazen and so depressing all at once - I can't imagine how people would have talked about it in the Internet/Twitter era.  I don't understand the choice to put Audrey and Steve through even more misery after they had been separated for almost a decade. The sudden inclusion of magazine stories is fascinating...and I'm not sure if it is ever a huge story narrative for GH after this point, even when characters on the show ran magazines. The end of the Leslie and Cam story did not need to be like this (and feels a little rushed). Had every woman on the canvas at this time been raped?

      I am bewildered and fascinated by the choice to have John Loprieno and Adam Storke play out all their dramatic sequences here in clown makeup. They really took that circus motif seriously.

      Does anyone have a favorite adult Russ Matthews?  Which actor did you like most?  Sam Groom, Robert Hover, or David Bailey??  And why?   And if Russ had returned late in AW's run, what actor would you have wanted to portray him?  One of the former actors, or someone new??

      I think the move to NBC dealt a huge blow to SFT that caused the show to slowly bleed out throughout their almost five year run on that network. SFT was a CBS show and it really showed when it first started airing on NBC so I understood P &G having to make adjustments to the soap in order to make it fit onto the NBC schedule vs the CBS schedule. The 1983 Tomlin/Lee era was probably the strongest while it was on NBC.  They managed to still focus on Stu/Stephanie/Jo while developing a strong youth focus with Wendy/Warren/Suzi/Kristen/ Brian with the comic element with Rhonda Sue and her partner.  This helped the show from staying the Liza/Travis show.. which it was in 1981/1982.

      Hey, I'm wondering if anyone has cross-referenced Spauldingfield's undated episodes with the German playlists? An angel has been uploading to the Soap Vault and it would be great to be able to date all those episodes. I have access to rename them, if anyone has a list.
