Thank you so much!  I'm pretty sure this was the term I was thinking of, but now I can't even remember how Vivian pronounced it.  LOL. I'm going to look up the word to see what the heck it actually means.  

Thanks to everybody who helped with this little treasure hunt!!  Much appreciated.

Yep, that's it!!   Thanks for the help on pronunciation.  We have some very nice and helpful people on this message board. It's great to be reminded of that occasionally.  

By the way Contessa, how did you find the clip you posted above?  Is it audio only?  Is the entire episode available to view??

Thanks again .

It's in my files, the whole episode. To get this I did a quick edit. Both Audio & Video. If you want it, just PM me. Choose betw the whole episode or Viv/Brady edit. My DAYS files, continuous, begin with 1984. That's true in general for collectors of digital files of DAYS. I have years before but here & there, not continuous.

Happened to stumble on this story with Jackie Cooper in 1971. For those that don't know, he was the actor-turned-Screen Gems exec who helped sell the Days pilot to NBC in 1965. In the story below, he talked about his time at Screen Gems and says that 22 of the 41 pilots he made while there made it on the air, so that's a pretty good track record!

From our Easter Egg hunt today, I did an edit of Vivian & Brady in & around the sarcophagus that is all set up for Maggie & she is on a phone call near the end of the 9 minute edit. Anyone who wishes to see it: my usual video hosting site; acct: shallotpeel; video title

Just as an FYI/FWIW I added some DAYS to my Reels in my Instagram acct. 5 were current & the rest were much older. Sony immediately challenged 4 of those 5 which I promptly deleted. They didn't challenge Gwen/Theresa stunt at the airport. They did challenge Bill Hayes last day, Drake last day, Drake last day with Deidre & Dick Van Dyke "I'm Your Son!". They didn't challenge any of the older clips. So far, anyway. And, no one challenged AW, AMC, ATWT, etc.

Two questions for the group

  1. How did Peter develop “jungle madness”?
  2. Did he still have it when he went to prison?

I know he was released by 2019, when they last mentioned him on screen.  But, do we think that they'll reference this very passé/soapy term if he ever returns?

1. Peter was bitten by a bug.  I think a mosquito and developed jungle madness on the Hope, John, et al Jungle trip.

2. Stefano found a cure for Jungle Madness before Peter turned himself in.

Peter has been referenced several times since 2019 and multiple times this year.  It seems like he's fine? I doubt the show would ever reference Jungle Madness now that Ron has been fired if Peter ever came back.

I don't know if those goes against any non-compete thingys with other chat boards, so if this has to be removed, please remove, but I wanted to let Days fans know that the very-long-time Salem Spectator "Days" website, which was offline recently, is now back as of today. So, if you want to join and post there: https://salemspectator.freeforums.net/

    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
