Well, we are in a recession 😂😂

Honestly though, "partying" with them for $1,500. What are they going to do - the strip act from the Christmas movie?

 

It just seems like such a sad and downer of an event.

Nice juxtaposition of clips here, both of Christie Clark as Carrie, on this day 10 years apart (1986 and 1996)…

I always wondered why Austin was so passive about custody of Will.  His argument to Carrie is just basically that would be mean because Sami gave birth to him.  She drugged and raped you Austin and actively tries to destroy her own sister (your fiancé).   It wouldn't be hard for Austin to get primary custody IMO.  Obviously he's not the father but we didn't know that then.  I don't know why I loved this story so much.  It's so stupid and so is Austin.  

CC is really natural onscreen even as a child.  I don't think she's the best actress, but she's very good with her screen partners and very likable.

56 YEARS AGO TODAY: EDWARD MALLORY DEBUTS AS BILL HORTON...

 

Here's Ed Mallory's first day at work as Bill Horton, Episode # 158. A special report about the moon preempted "Days" on June 16, 1966, pushing this episode to June 21.

 

 

Edited June 22, 20223 yr by JAS0N47

Nowadays fans are up in arms about pre emptions for major political events, imagine the outcry if Days was interrupted by a report about the moon.

How times have changed. That whole race to the moon was deemed big news. Did the average viewer really care?

I remember getting aggravated when they would pre-empt for the astronaut returns.  The capsule would just splash in the ocean and you really couldn’t see anything since they were filming from a distance.  Then the commentators would repeat what had just happened.  Did enjoy the moon landing but that happened at night where I lived.

Then there were none again until 1969:

Thu. 3/6/69       APOLLO IX SPACE WALK
Mon. 7/21/69    APOLLO 11 COVERAGE OF MOON TAKEOFF
Thu. 7/24/69     APOLLO 11 RETURN/SPLASHDOWN

SUSAN SEAFORTH HAYES JOINS TOP 10 IN "DAYS" EPISODE APPEARANCES...

 

Congratulations to Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie), who appeared in her 2,956th episode today, surpassing Macdonald Carey (Tom) for 10th place on the all-time list.

Tbf, it was different back then. There were only like three channels, so preemptions were unavoidable, unlike nowadays where there are countless places you can watch the hearings or any other news event, but still only one place where you can watch your soap or other daytime show at its scheduled time. I still think regular programming doesn't need to be interrupted.

And besides, astronauts were a lot more likable than politicians 😂

And the space program was a national interest. From little kids to adults it was a favored pastime!

FROM THE VAULT: SHANE, KIMBERLY, ANDREW & JEANNIE SCENE...

An episode  of Kristian Alfonso's short-lived (and, no offense Kristian, vaguely trashy) Love Stories show has been reuploaded to Youtube.

Was this what she left Days for?
