I always Found it Funny Like Poor MacDonald Carey was Stuck Playing Leading Man to Older Actresses, like On Hazzard (1948) to Paulette Goddard 3 years older than Him or Let's Do It Again (1951) to 10 years older Claudette Colbert, and Playing the Father of A Grown Up, the actress Who Played Phoebe on All About Eve don't remember her name but she wasn't more than 15 years younger than him, and On The Original Days Pilot the Actress who would've Played Alice was 3 years older than Him As Well!

Marlena and Mickey return to the sanitarium room after their walk in the rain. There is a closeness now between them that they didn't have before. Mickey is ambivalent about Mike- sometimes he feels nothing for the boy, and then again he feels love as a father for him. Tom goes to the sanitarium to talk to Marlena about Mickey. Marlena warns Tom that no one must play games with Mickey. He needs total honesty if he is to get well. What about Linda? Is she lying to Mickey? Tom says Linda will do anything she can to break up Maggie's marriage and win Mickey back for herself. Maggie comes to the sanitarium to see Mickey but Marlena is there and she talks to her first. Maggie is very honest about her fear of Linda's intentions. Marlena warns her that she can expect nothing from Mickey at the moment. Maggie goes in to see him and he is very sweet to her. He knows Mike took her dancing and he says he would like to do the same the next time Marlena gives him a night on the town. Maggie is aglow with happiness.

In Mickey's sanitarium room, Mickey tells Marlena he wants to go dancing with his wife. Marlena tells Mickey she was very pleased with his first trip outside of the sanitarium. Marlena tells him that he's been making progress. She says she'll okay letting him take Maggie out, but asks why he changed his mind, since Dr. Powell told her that Mickey had said he didn't want to.  Mickey says because of guilt. He tells Marlena that Bill performed surgery of Maggie so she could walk again. He says he gave Maggie a red dress and dancing slippers and wants to keep his promise to her. Marlena says she'll call Maggie and make the arrangements. As Marlena heads into the hall, she sees Dr. Powell and tells him Mickey is having too much family pressure. Powell suggests he and Marlena drive into town and meet with Maggie first before she okays Mickey's trip. She calls Maggie and sets up a meeting at Doug's Place. Later, at Doug's Place, Marlena sees Don with Julie and says that he took her advice to go after her. Don says that Marlena is an observant one. Marlena says she has to be in her business. Marlena congratulates Don when he tells her that he is going to marry Julie. Powell shows up and Robert escorts him and Marlena to their table. Maggie and Bill arrive and Maggie is ecstatic that Mickey wants to take her out dancing. She tells Maggie that she needs to act casual with Mickey. Powell and Maggie exit. Marlena can sense Bill is uptight. Marlena tells Bill that Mickey is ready to be alone with Maggie. Marlena senses Bill's hostility. He tells Marlena it's because Mike got drunk and ended up at Linda's apartment. Marlena asks Bill why she's been getting referals from Laura's regular patients, but Bill doesn't want to talk about it. He says Mike's rejection was the final straw for Laura. She's closing the door on her work, on everyone. Marlena says whenever Laura is ready for therapy, she'd be happy to do it. When Bill again calls her Dr. Evans, she tells him to call her Marlena. And he says to call him Bill. Marlena says that accoding to her mother, she's been analyzing her friends since she was in high school. Bill says that sounds a lot like Laura. Marlena jokes and says no one would go out with Laura in high school either then. Don passes by the table, startled to see the switch in "dates" from Powell to Bill, and says hello to Bill and Marlena.

Thanks also. Not Marlena related, but the summary where Tommy talked about his situation answered a question I always had as to whether the show addressed that two of the Horton sons had experienced amnesia. Bill was stretching credibility there by repeating a storyline a few years later. But he got away with it.

Deidre Hall Countdown: 4,989 Episodes...11 Episodes to go.
 
2696...8/2/76: EPISODE # 14:
Cast: Tom, Alice, Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Mike, Linda, Marlena, Janice.
Sets: Maggie's Bedroom, Horton Living Room, Mickey's Sanitarium Room & Waiting Area Outside, Doug's Place Bar Area.
 
At the sanitarium, Mickey is dressing for the evening, uptight about the whole thing. Linda enters, presumably to wish him luck for an enjoyable evening. Marlena enters, Linda exits. Marlena gives Mickey some money Tom has dropped by to pay for the night out. Mickey is touched by his father's thoughtfulness, has a beginning of awareness there are other people in the world. Linda waits for Marlena outside Mickey's room, wants to know why Marlena called her. Marlena says she has to know Mike better if she's to help Mickey, and she understands Linda is the only one who seems able to get close to the boy. Julie comes to Doug's Place early to meet Marlena, who asked to see her. Doug plays his little cool game, and Julie tries to respond, but we sense the sparks that are always between the two. Marlena arrives, thanks Julie for being here tonight, when Mickey shows up with Maggie. Julie is doubtful, but Marlena assures her Mickey needs to face the past and the people in it. She also congratulates Julie on her engagement to Don.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you
