Members carolineg Posted October 12, 2022 Members Share Posted October 12, 2022 NBC made a draft for the movie that Deidre hated and she passed and a few years later ABC greenlit the script she wanted. Money was probably involved like @te.said, but I am sure we all agree, we were the true winners here when this cinematic masterpiece came out lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 12, 2022 Members Share Posted October 12, 2022 Now, am I right in thinking that your tongue is stuck as far in your cheek as it will go?!! Please register in order to view this content Personally I just thought it was good that she got it made. And, I certainly never thought of NBC as a network that went out of its way to support its people or its shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted October 14, 2022 Members Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Not strictly Days, but probably one of Bill Hayes' earliest tv appearances, on Olson and Johnson's "Fireball Fun-For-All," from 1949.

victoria foxton Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 A long UK promo when Days aired on Channel 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted October 16, 2022 Members Share Posted October 16, 2022 Staci Greason’s run on DAYS lasted *exactly* three years. Have we ever had other soap stars whose runs were exact like that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoria foxton Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 @OzFrog That's not unusual since most contracts back then were three years. I can't give any examples. But maybe some other posters like @slick jones can. @AbcNbc247 I always like Neil. But his stories in his last years weren't great. Neil probably should've left Salem with Liz in 1986. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted October 16, 2022 Members Share Posted October 16, 2022 Leaving with Liz, instead of them breaking up probably would have been the right choice. I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did without her. Did fans like him and Angelica? Or the friendship/relationship that he had with Jo? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) It was so long ago that i don't remember if Neil and Angelica were popular. Don't think the marriage lasted very long. All poor Jo did for years was pine for Neil. He was completely clueless to Jo having feelings for him.

Members AbcNbc247 Posted October 16, 2022 Members Share Posted October 16, 2022 Maybe that's why he was kept around: for Jo Please register in order to view this content I think Neil only married Angelica so that Alex would have a father, but I wonder if it was popular, if fans were clamoring for them to be a real couple. I hope Alex remembers who he is 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted October 17, 2022 Members Share Posted October 17, 2022 I'm wondering if Anjelica & Neil was never seriously considered or if the pairing was cut short (did their marriage even make it to six months?) as a response to any/all of the above: Jane Elliot's departure, Shelley Taylor Morgan's (intentional?) temping, Judith Chapman's arrival, lack of chemistry between Joseph Gallison and any of these ladies or good old-fashioned ageism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
