Some rare clips of Julie from the 60s and 70s are included in this interview, including one of Julie with Addie at the hospital just after Hope was born.  All brief but it's good to know they're available.

That was great! So much of that was new to me. I'm always fascinated by seeing early split screen tech from those years. And all those lovely Horton family scenes. You are reminded of what good, natural, yet emotionally intuitive acting those times had.

I loved getting to see some of her reactions to stories, especially her deadpan at them choosing to have Doug stabbed in the throat.

Thanks, I loved this and the earlier video with Susan interviewing Suzanne. I've long given up on any hope of decent storylines on this show, but I still tune in to see actors/characters -- and these two are at the top of my list. No matter what the writers have done to Julie and Maggie over the years, I still see them as the complex, compelling and emotionally rich characters they once were. Kudos to both ladies.

FIRST "DAYS" PERSON SPOTTED IN 1950 CENSUS...

The 1950 census was released to the public yesterday. It's too early to easily search names (it will take awhile for the names to be correctly typed in by humans to make it easier to search), but in the meantime, early results have found "Days" co-creator Irna Phillips. If you search and find any "Days" actors or crew in the coming months, let me know! Here's Irna living with her family in Chicago. Her job in 1950 is listed as author for an advertising agency.

1950 CENSUS: TED & BETTY CORDAY...

With the 1950 census released to the public yesterday, here's a look at "Days" legends Ted & Betty Corday living with their son Christopher in New York. With the census being done in April 1950, "Days" executive producer Ken Corday (who was born in June 1950) just missed out on being included in the census.

I love what I call the "beautiful downtown Burbank" lighting in those scenes from the '60's and '70's.  It's so artificial, and yet, it doesn't feel like vintage NBC without it.  (See also: "Sanford and Son.")

"I couldn't love you anymore or any less than I do at this moment, Will.  I'm so proud to be your grandma.  Now, let's go shopping for some blazers and pastel-colored jumpsuits!"

        I'm sorry but I'm a glutton for punishment. Would love to see this woman OWNING the canvas. Telling off Leslie who's the head b!tch.

    • The Dallas finale was the highest-rated episode since October 9, 1987 (Gone with the Wind). Prior to the finale, the last Dallas episode to finish ahead of a new episode of Murder, She Wrote was October 23, 1987 (Tough Love). Prior to the finale, the last Dallas episode to finish ahead of a new episode of The Cosby Show was February 22, 1985 (Shattered Dreams).
    • 40 years ago this month, the best and most pivotal television season of the 1980s came to an end. Here’s how the rookie breakout and the four soaps wrapped up the season. The Cosby Show – Cliff’s Birthday (season 1 finale, May 9): Clair and the children surprise Cliff by planning a birthday celebration around a Lena Horne concert. Dallas – Deliverance (May 10): Bobby seeks evidence to free Jenna. The Ewings go confidently to court. Mitch asks Lucy to move in. J.R. wants Sue Ellen hospitalized. Dynasty - The Heiress (May 8): Krystle learns Daniel is dead. King Galen courts Alexis. Amanda sees Michael with Elena. Sammy Jo learns Krystle will handle her money and is furious about the decision. Knots Landing – One Day in a Row (May 9): Ben aids in Karen's search for Val's babies. Mack replies to the governor's offer. Ruth uses Abby to break up Laura and Greg. Falcon Crest – Cold Comfort (May 10): Fugitive Lance desperately searches for Lorraine, who lies comatose in a San Francisco hospital. Robin returns with startling news.   Dallas – Swan Song (season 8 finale, May 17): Jenna's release from jail depresses Pam. Sue Ellen thinks she saw Dusty. Donna tells Ray about her pregnancy. Cliff consults an attorney about an annulment. Lucy and Mitch remarry. Sudden tragedy strikes Bobby. Dynasty – Royal Wedding (season 5 finale, May 15): Sammy Jo makes her roommate look like Krystle. Elena reassures Amanda about her upcoming marriage. Terrorists come for the royal wedding of Prince Michael and Amanda. Falcon Crest – Confessions (May 17): Melissa confesses to framing Lance. Pamela gives Maggie proof that Richard bribed Judge Holder. Connie reveals her love for Chase. Knots Landing – Vulnerable (May 16): Ruth wants Abby to break up Greg and Laura. Karen makes a breakthrough in her hunt for Val's babies. Joshua hampers Val's recovery. Knots Landing – The Long and Winding Road (season 6 finale, May 23): Abby fears being linked to the disappearance of Val's babies. Laura leaves Greg. The Fishers are determined to keep Val's babies. Falcon Crest – The Avenging Angel (season 4 finale, May 24): Lorraine dies. Angela throws a victory party. Cassandra's mother arrives. An explosion rips through Richard's house. 1984/85 was the season the primetime soaps pulled out all the stops to out-do each other and everything culminated in the spring. May 1985 was the zenith of primetime soaps as a genre.

    • Charles Grant first appeared as Evan in September 1988. I was surprised to come across this item from December 1985, almost 3 years earlier: "Lots of action behind the scenes at Another World . . . I have bad news for fans of Christopher Holder (Peter Love). He will be leaving the show in the new year. I have heard that the producers are recasting the part and are also seeing actors for new roles. One of the main characters this spring will be Marlee [sic] and Victoria's father. The producers have been talking to Charles Flohe (John "Preacher" Emerson, Edge Of Night) about another new character to be featured. I will fill you in on the results as soon as I know." It seems obviously too early for anyone to have been planning to introduce Evan Frame. Based on the context he's not being considered as a recast of Peter. Maybe they were considering him for the character that turned out to be Neal, who started around the same time as Marcus Smythe as Peter?

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
