Yes Days needed a shake up but the 1980 revamp was too much.

None of the new characters had much appeal and only Liz was embraced by the audience, and that was under subsequent writers.

Well, to be fair, HIPAA wasn't a law until 1996! And hey, Kayla breaks that law on the regular today...

Bill, Laura, Linda, and Stephanie definitely shouldn't have been written out. There was still plenty of storyline for all of them, especially for Linda and Stephanie in the aftermath of Bob's death.

I had to laugh a bit when Amanda was rubbing perfume on her cleavage. I guess she wanted to smell nice in case Chris wanted to motorboat.

Mary Frann was also in the Tang ad with Florence Henderson. Polly Holiday (from Alice) was in the Mon in the Stove Top ad.

What was the point of bringing her back from the dead, only to kill her off again with no real payoff?

WEEK OF JULY 30 - AUGUST 3, 1979
Stephanie Woodruff convinced Mary Anderson to drop the lawsuit against Chris Kositchek because of her father Bob Anderson's health. Stephanie also confessed to Julie Wiliams that she's really the believed dead Brooke Hamilton and had plastic surgery which was as successful as Julie's can be. Margo Horton found Trish Banning's hidden diamonds, but Trish swore her to secrecy. Donna Craig likes Arthur, the son of Marlena's patient, Lester. Doug Williams hit the bottle while admitted to Dr. Neil Curtis that he was raised an orphan and his real name is Brent Douglas.
