For some reason, "Days of Our Lives" has decided to give Chad a new last name. The credits listed him as Chad Peterson until August 11. From August 13-September 23, the credits listed Chad with no last name. Beginning on Friday, September 25, the credits on NBC began listing the character as Chad Woods. There is another character on "Days" with the last name of Woods, the District Attorney, Charles Woods (David Leisure). No info yet on whether the two are related.

I was wondering why it suddenly changed. I am guessing they are relating him to that D.A.

Further proof that DAYS is being written on the fly.

Criminy, wouldn't it have been simpler to find out that Chad changed his last name or was using his mother's maiden name? Shame on DAYS writers.
