One was spotted in Iowa apparently, haha. I remember John said that line because I wondered too. It was soon after the clones were released into the world. No word ever since. Sounds like something Carlivati could dig up and use present-day.

July 66 newspaper summary

"Like sands thru the hour glass, so are the days of our lives," goes the opening mood line. Macdonald Carey is the star of this serial. He wasn't on the day we looked in and saw Alice Horton chatting in her kitchen with Rusty about son Mickey, a lawyer who is becoming involved with Diane Hunter, his client in a divorce suit. Diane Hunter's daughter, Susie, is a good friend of Julie, Alice Horton's granddaughter. Before going to Julie's high school graduation party, Susie has a few unkind words for her mother. "I don't love you at all," she taunts the soon-to-be divorcee. Subsequently, Julie's Uncle Mickey, having noticed the lights were on, stops by to see Diane Hunter. She is depressed. He brings comforting words. "Deep down inside, teens love and need parents."

I thought I knew all the major bullet points of Marlena but this completely slipped me by. Everything I learn about pre-Dimera Days is so interesting. I hope one day we have a chance to see it.

DJ's death had some really good acting from DH.  Probably her best work.  Marlena does talk about the death from time to time, although I think it's been years, but it's still in Marlena's story cannon, unlike her rape which is never discussed.  She did really good work there as well.  Also when Samantha died.  DH can be really good.  It's weird how she has devolved into moans and histrionics now.   I think you can find all this stuff hidden on you tube, but it's a chore.

Does anyone remember this storyline? I know 1987-89 is messy:

 

Played by Camilla More (Gillian, and later Grace, left) and Carey More (Grace, right) - Real life twin sisters.

Gillian had Grace come to town New Years Eve, 1986 to pretend to be Gillian, while Gillian killed Emma Marshall. Gillian framed Kim for the murder, so she could have Shane. Gillian was caught when Shane noticed she was acting quite strange. On a trip to London, Shane found Grace and brought her to Salem to help him catch Gillian. Once Gillian was taken to jail, Camilla More began to play the role of Grace, and Carey More left Days. Grace was later killed by the Riverfront Knifer.

It's like Days had the thought that, "Whoops, Gillian is irredeemable, so let's start Camilla More fresh."

 

Except they did jack squat with Grace.

 

I don't think Days really ever knew what to do with Gillian, either. She starts as Shane's snippy partner. Gillian's kinda villain-y, but for a brief second Days flirts with her actually being a victim. That's dropped quite quickly as they kill Emma in the exact same manner they killed Renee three years earlier, right down to a similar speech by Emma.

 

At this point the list of Things Keeping Shane and Kimberly Apart are too overegged and Gillian is wasted for a wedding that should have been done a year earlier.

I loved Marlena and Alice's rare scenes together..

there was one emotional scene after Tom passed away in the Brady's pub. Alice and Marlena talked about tom's passing.. very touching.

      According to the newspaper columnists at the time of Mark Dante's return, Gerald Gordon had been a favorite of Fred Silverman, who left ABC for NBC and took Gordon with him. Silverman supposedly put him on a contract with NBC. Gordon return to "General Hospital" occurred after Silverman left NBC so Gordon may have been in need of work and he may have left Monty on good terms. His pairing seems very C-story at best based on synopses but maybe there was more to it.

      I am truly at a loss for words about today's episode. I have no clue what they are trying to do or where this Luna story is going. I was literally dumbfounded.

      I'm inclined to agree with you and I loved her at Santa Barbara.

      I haven't watched DAYS in years, so I have some questions for anyone who can answer them. Is the show actually acknowledging that Jeremy abused Stephanie?  The things he did to her back in 2007 were reprehensible.  I wasn't watching too much when that was happening, but I seem to remember that the show (at the time) didn't outright label him an abusive partner and instead acted like he was just badly behaved or something like that.  Could someone who was watching back then tell me how they remember it?

      It also strangely happened while the story was airing. You had a gothic and spooky story that because it got eyeballs ended up being dragged out and turned into camp. Marlena starts talking to herself constantly with that voice, she’s strapped to the bed for a never ending exorcism, would almost die multiple times during the process, and then everyone would just leave her there with Caroline Brady sitting next to her holding a rosary. Reilly had the show so segregated that when Carrie found out what was happening in practically her next scene she was like I’m praying for Marlena. Now what are we going to do about Sami? I don’t know about anyone else, but I would probably stop my storyline for at least a couple of episodes and have to go see my stepmother that had a huge part in raising me floating around with those eyes in her beautiful penthouse. It was just so stupid, and when it started I didn’t necessarily agree with the story being told, but at least it was taken seriously.

      Yes, I feel the same way. I get the reasoning behind hiring him. He was playing a very similar character on RH, and they were in a pinch. I also found his accent very distracting. But then, Bev also didn't sound like she was from Illinois, and it didn't bother me a bit. That said, I've always had a great deal of sympathy for the situation he was in. It's never easy to take over from someone popular with fans, and how the TPTB were always insisting he was coming back eventually was another issue. Hearing he was going through it in his personal life on top of that makes me even more sympathetic. I found the article where it mentioned he had worked on both soaps at the same time. This was written a while after he left the show. Interesting that he was open to returning and that fans were asking him about when Alan was going to get out of jail. To this day, I don't understand why they kept Alan off the canvas as long as they did. He should have been there in the thick of Roger's return (without the dumb attempt to kill him), especially while he was married to Alex. To me, Raines was lacking in a lot of qualities needed for Alan. I think he would have been a better Mike Bauer.  They took five years to bring Alan back. They could have found someone better. No one is irreplaceable. Anyone who took over the role would have been different from Bernau. But somewhere out there was an actor who would have had the suaveness, intensity, and charm that IMO the character needed.

      I did feel like JFP's Y&R was decent. Of all the recent HW/EP swaps, her period was very safe but watchable. Nothing spectacular but better than what we have now.
