I want to say they actual went on date(s) and everything, but it went nowhere because Sam left town.  I am going to say they would probably not be a great couple, judging by her sister's chemistry with Josh Taylor

  It still shocks me how everyone is so easily fooled by Marlena/Samantha on the show (not in this particular clip).  They clearly are not identical-a viewer can easily tell them apart so I don't know what Don was thinking.   People always tell me they are mirror twins in real life, but the show pretends they are identical.

Yeah that story really REALLY dumbed Don (and half the staff at Bayview and UH, for that matter) down to make it work. Their voices aren't even the same. 

The real problem I would have with Chris and Sam is that Andrea Hall, in every clip I've seen, fumbles at least half her lines, to the point where I struggle to understand what she's even saying. I just can't see her working long-term as a regular character with anyone when she struggles so badly with her lines. I think, if they'd gone that route, they would have to go the David Canary route and have Dee Hall play both roles.

If anyone cares, I have assembled two lists concerning DAYS, thanks to the help of @slick jones and @JAS0N47's site.

First is a list containing the age brackets of all the living actors who have played characters in at least 10 episodes, or characters related to the former.

Second is a list showing what other soaps those actors have been on.

Enjoy!

Their voices aren't the same lol!  I noticed that too.  I think it's a cool idea to get Andrea to play Marlena's twin and certainly helped filming, but she isn't an actress and never claimed to be and it.....shows.   She does fumble her lines a lot and her enunciation isn't very clear.  I think if she wanted to she could have improved, but it was never her goal to be on Days long term.  Sam's story and ending were dramatic and memorable, so I guess it's fine it ended when it did.  I have always questioned whether they killed her off too soon, but I don't think Dee could have played both.   I think her 80's work leads me to believe DH was capable, but I think it would have burnt Hall out much too fast and she would have left earlier, perhaps with Wayne.   Even if she was great with Drake and the RoJohn story was good, you could feel she was a little over it pulling double duty with Days and Our House.

Sidenote-Don is so chauvinistic in almost every scene I see him in.  I don't dislike him at all, but, man, some of his dialogue ages horribly.

Great list!

I decided to google Loretta Fury to see if I could find any additional info. Unfortunately, it seems she died in 2016. I can't find anything to confirm her death other than at Ancestry, which a family member has her date of death as 2016 and mentions her in Santa Monica, as well as her brother etc...

I did find that she was born Loretta Ferrigno. And then she was married to Salvatore Giosa from 1952 until their divorce in 1982.

Thanks for the update on Loretta Fury. I figured she probably had passed away, but was going to wait until she was at least 100 to take her off the list. 

I forgot that I also made this list as well. A tally of living actors and the characters they played categorized by Head Writer.

Renee and Tony on the night of her party and murder, from 1983.  The audience learned months later that the switch between Tony and Andre occurred when Tony went to the wine cellar.

Now I know who to be specifically annoyed with regarding this Sarah-Renee mess.

      I also really enjoyed Eva's scenes with Kat today. They have an interesting chemistry. I thought it did feel a bit like sisters at conflict. Especially with the way that Eva was trying to convince Kat to forgive Ted and them both coming to the conclusion that the man they thought was their father was different wasn't who they really thought he was initially. And the way that Eva broke down when Kat said that she was dead to her was good stuff. I really do think that in spite of their conflict/bickering Eva really would have loved to have gained a sister, along with a brother, father, etc... Also, I thought it was interesting how Eva kept saying that she loves Ted and Nicole. That and Leslie mentioning that Kat/Eva are almost twins really does make me wonder if Kat may really be her twin and Nicole's as well. I would gladly welcome that outcome, even if it takes a while for it to come out. Leslie doesn't deserve Eva as a daughter as far as I'm concerned. And I would forward to a storyline where we found out that she's Nicole's second baby girl, and all the complex and ultimately happy feelings that would bring Nicole. Eva/Kat could still have a rivalry, especially if Nicole ended up bonding more with Eva. And then we could get the rest of the family's reaction to that as well.

      Bravo to every single person responsible for today's episode. From the writer on down to Kraft services. Yall I'm getting emotional but I wish my granny was here to have seen this soap since she was the one to introduce me to this medium.

      Everything is fraught with confusion. Why is Leslie pleading with the Duprees to accept Eva? She's not biological family so what is this? She's the product of an affair with their in-law so Leslie wants them to accept her? I'm getting GOOD TIMES vibes of Leslie and Eva minus the physical abuse.

      Big fan of today's writing. In particular, I like EJ complexity, crying over Johnny and conspiring at the same is tough to pull off in the same episode, but it goes very far in explaining EJ's motives. I don't hate the idea of Cat and EJ, and I especially appreciate everyone trying to warn her, but she is sticking to the plan. Boy oh boy, when Brandon Beemer wears a shirt that matches his eyes, I get lost in the screen!

      Yeah, I think that Leslie's speech would have had a bit more of an impact if Ted had been the Dupree's son, with Nicole being the daughter in law they loved like a daughter. But being that he's the son in law, and that Eva (at least not right now) isn't technically a Dupree, it doesn't hold as much weight. They aren't caring much for Ted right now and their feelings could be trickling down to Eva. Though, I do think they have some sympathy for her. I really enjoyed today's show. Loved a stripped, down hurt but still strong in her resolve Nicole. DD continues to shine and shows why she is IMO the heart of the show. I felt her words, and anger at Ted and how she broke down in Kat's arms at the end. She is just wonderful all the way around. I also loved the way that Anita read Leslie. She was spot on about her and how mishandled everything with Ted and Eva. And speaking of Leslie... I immediately thought the same thing once I saw that scene. That what she exhibited was trash behavior. I don't think she's a good mother. In fact, I think she's lousy. Granted, I have missed some episodes, but I haven't really seen her do anything to indicate that she really cares for Eva or her well being. All she's really done is try and manipulate/use Eva for her own agenda since she came to town.

      I thought Brandon C was much more believable as Martin today.  Before, I watched an actor trying to portray a character.  Friday and today, I simply felt the character.

      The way Leslie uses her love shower Eva with and then snatches it away when Eva doesn’t do what she wants is something that should be focused on down the road.    Great end to the episode overall and kudos to the writing and production team for carefully executing all of this.
