I had no idea any of those family members were extras in the episode, so that was fun to find out!  I was cleaning out a cabinet yesterday and found some fun Days things to post, so look for more during the week.

BILL HAYES LETTER, 2008...

Here's a letter Bill Hayes sent me, talking about the first script of Doug from 1970, and sending thanks for the 40th anniversary tribute I had posted for Susan back in 2008.

No idea. But there are some scenes where background people are shown & I don't have time right now to freeze it on those scenes & look. Maybe you or someone else wants to? 

Edit: When I grab the scene & then zoom in, it gets so blurry I can only tell M or F, nothing else.

Ooh.  Maybe?  It does look a bit like her.  I have pretty good eyesight and I can't make anything of the video.  IIRC, I think I have seen an article with Wayne and Lynn in that era and she was very blond with long hair.  

She also could have just been at the reception.

ETA NVM I found of few pictures and she was brunette so that definitely could have been her.

Thinking about 1983-84 Days for a moment, and remembering back to when the Soaps of Yesteryear Tumblr was active. One particular item stands out -- that Deidre was going to get a raise and/or a better storyline, thus ensuring that she'd stay. I still wonder: if that hadn't worked out, would Marlena have been a Salem Slasher victim?

A kind poster has just told me that in scenes with Dick Van Dyke on DAYS, Julie Williams brought up her long-unmentioned uncle Tommy Horton, Jr., saying that he had had amnesia long ago and that he has passed away.

I was so used to Tommy's living in oblivion, with no mention of his whereabouts or what had ever happened to him.

Did Julie give any details about him or his death?

(I'm sure the answer will be no, TPTB wouldn't care that much, but I am curious.)

Thanks in advance.

No. No more information. But he's come up again since then. This was when Julie was telling Leo, Horton family history. In the aftermath of the burning of Horton House. Leo, as gossip columnist, was it seems going to write a serious piece on Salem history for the paper. (This episode was the first & also so far only time I have not hated Leo.)

When Julie was sitting with Robichaux (who DVD turned out to be) he said something she said reminded her of her Uncle Tommy. That's when we found out, amazingly, that Tommy Jr. has passed on. If you are interested enough we can figure the date of the episode & I can get you an mp4 file of it. Although it might already be up on YT. As a matter of fact, I'm going to go now to YT & see.

Edit: Bingo!

So funny to see how editors title this type of clickbait

No mention that he's an actor, just a Florida real estate agent.  Also, according to the NY Post, this is the third time that Freddy's TikTok has gone "viral", which god only knows who they define that.

    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

      @ranger1rg I even included a close up of his face for ya!
    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
