That's a rare color photo of Mike & Margo! I was a kid when this story aired but I remember it well. A little trivia about Suzanne Zenor is that she starred in a unaired pilot episode of "Three's Company". She played the Chrissy part but only under a different name - Samantha. I thought the pilot was funny but I guess the females co-leads didn't have enough vavoom for TPTB. The pilot is included in the Season Two dvd set for Three's Company as a bonus.

Would you happen to have a color photo of Chris & Mary (Taylor/Stanger) ? I have never seen one.

I think that's correct, jam. Which is amazing, when you consider how many women Mike has been involved with over the years. IIRC, he didn't even marry Carrie Brady.

I would love for the character of Mike Horton to come back to Salem and Days, but as Mike Weiss portraying him again. I would love for Mike to come back to town assuming a position at the hospital as Chief of Staff. He could really put Ann in her place. Daniel and Mike don't have to be best friends, however, he could disapprove of Jennifer and Daniel's relationship. Or they could just be good acquaintances. With Mike back in town, Robin could come back and they rekindle their romance. Or even Margo could come back in town for a little while and Margo ends up being Paige's mother. Or what about April Ramirez who could be cousins to Rafe and Gabi. Mike and April were good together too. Once Mike returns, Jeremy could follow. Jeremy could be an intern at the hospital and yes, even have a steamy affair with an older woman which Dr. Mike Horton would definitely disapprove of. There are many possibilities of great storytelling and putting some real life, fire, adventure back into the show. Just a side note, I would love for the character of Linda Patterson to return too. She could be a rival to Maggie. But there are other things Linda could do. She could be a mysterious benefactor to the hospital or to a Kiriakis or Dimera Charity. I'm just brainstorming ideas!

These promos were and still are amazing! I couldn't help but get excited watching them! I wish DAYS OF OUR LIVES still wrote characters and stories like that. The promos back then knew how to lure you in to watch. You wanted to know what was going to happen. The Marlena one with wanting revenge against Stefano for "killing" Roman and kidnapping the twins was pure DAYTIME DRAMA MAGIC!!!!!!! I so miss it. The promo with everyone on Alamania and the the building crumbling and so forth was great drama and a lot came from that storyline. The third one with the party at Lawrence Alamain's and the murder...all the characters and suspects, JUST FANTASTIC! Where is that today on DAYS?

I have mixed feelings about the return of Linda. She was a great character when Margaret Mason played her. Not so much when Elaine Princi played her. Nothing against Elaine but she was totally wrong for the role (and the storyline didn't help). Wondering now who could do the character justice.

    • I'm pretty sure he was. But point taken.
    • Still here ^^ Come on Prime Video, it's due to bring it back!
    • Got through the eighth season, and it was... painful.

    • I agree 100% with both you and Mitch64.  Soaps have been going further and further off-course since 1981. TPTB just don't have a fundamental understanding of what makes soap fans so loyal. I'd love to be on a writing team with both of you.  Maybe we could put together a real soap opera, and show people what its all about...  
    • They weren't in town, but Fletcher worked at the paper (and we saw anniversary Journal headlines for the 50th, although I don't remember if Roger was one of them), and I'd think Alex would have at least heard of him due to the damage he did to Spaulding only a few years before her return to the fold. I know I have to remember it's not real life, of course.
    • YES. The videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield are almost to the point where Alan is reintroduced. They're already talking about the guy he pretends to be, and yes, he returns at a masked ball. In fact, that masked ball is almost beat for beat the same as the masked ball where Alex was introduced! Get a new schtick. Before the Kobe era, that's pretty much what they did. Characters would just show up. Maybe other characters would talk about them for a while--the Chamberlains, Tony, Maureen, Andy, Kelly, Carrie--but then they would just appear. When Hope came back, she simply knocked on Bert's door and said something like, "Hi, Grandma, I'm home again." No particular fanfare. Sometimes it would be a bit dramatic--Jennifer and Morgan were introduced when Mike accidentally crashed into their car, for instance, and Alan and Elizabeth were introduced through Jackie's flashbacks when she was remembering giving up Phillip for adoption. Nola was involved in the Roger return. Roger's return in 1980 was very dramatic, but in a way that made total sense. He was trying to kidnap a child, so dressing up as a clown did not seem crazy. The mask bit was not only silly, it didn't even make sense. Alex never knew him, so there was no reason for him to be masked in front of her. Yeah, she knew OF him, but there's that phenomenon called cognetive dissonance. If you see someone outside of an expected situation, you probably won't recognize them, especially if you never met them in person and think they're dead. I bet a CIA spook like Roger would be familiar with that concept. And he didn't have to be skulking around SF for months. Again, I will cut Long a little slack--it was not her idea to bring back Roger, she was told to do it. She never wrote for the character. It was something that was not planned. They originally went to Zaslow to offer him the role of Alan. He, of course, turned them down because that was a ridiculous idea, but then he suggested coming back as Roger. At such short notice, it's not strange his return was not handled well.
    • Eh...but neither had been in town. Know the name Roger Thorpe? Sure. But Alex would have gone crazy trying to memorize all of Alan's co-conspirators/lovers/wives and Fletch didn't even know Roger/Adam was on the island, IIRC. But who knew or should've known each other is always a little dicey when people come back to town. 
    • I wouldn't call Tomas' cuts a modern cut. They appear to be a slim/extreme slim cut⏤cut slimmer down the sides, with a higher armhole, which pulls up/out, depending on the fit of the person's body. Again, I feel like Ms Featherstone is buying to fit the wrong parts of the body; instead of buying to fit their widest parts (shoulders), she's buying things to fit their middle/waist (which is the easiest to ultimately fix without a complete re-cut), and it shows in the finished product. And the only reason it irks me is because I worked in suit sales for nearly ten years, and I notice these things immediately. The fashion(s) on this soap are miles ahead of three of the four others (I like the fashions from Y&R), but the tailoring is a choice, especially where the men are concerned.
    • There probably would have been a good chance they knew of him, especially with his ties to Spaulding and his being involved in so much scandal (meaning there would be plenty of photos and articles around they both would have seen), but I agree the mask was silly, clearly just a TV moment.
