JASON47'S DEIDRE HALL COUNTDOWN TO 5000 EPISODES TRIBUTE BEGINS...

Each of the next 25 episodes that Deidre Hall appears in (from 4,976 to 5,000) will feature an episode summary countdown of her first 25 appearances on "Days" from 1976. Today's countdown begins with Deidre's debut episode, # 2667, which aired June 21, 1976.

Deidre Hall Countdown: 4,976 Episodes...24 Episodes to go.
 
2667...6/21/76: EPISODE # 1:
Cast: Tom, Mickey, Bill, Greg, Amanda, Brooke, Trish, Marlena, Jeri, Hank, Rosie, Nathan, Stanhope, Ginny, Dr. Powell, Jennifer Rose.
Sets: Amanda's Hospital Room & Waiting Area Outside, Laura's Den/Hallway/Front Door, Phoenix Bank, Sanitarium Dayroom, Phoenix Coffee Shop, Brooke's Apartment, Tom's Hospital Office, Dr. Powell's Sanitarium Office, Hospital Coffee Shop.

Marlena Evans is introduced in this script as an independent, intelligent young woman whose career as a psychiatrist brings her into Mickey's life. She introduces herself to Mickey in the sanitarium dayroom while he is studying moves on a chessboard. She says she has spoken to Dr. Powell and if Mickey agrees, she will take him on as a patient. Subsequent to her conversation with Mickey, Marlena goes to Dr. Powell's office to discuss Mickey's case with him, agreeing to take the case if Mickey wants her as his psychiatrist. Whereupon Powell agrees to grant Mickey's request regarding no more sedation if Mickey will let Dr. Evans be his therapist. But no more games: Mickey has to play it straight with her. Later, as Bill exits Amanda's hospital room, Marlena approaches and introduces herself, explaining her need to find out as much information as she can about Mickey so as to help him effectively, and she thought the best place to start would be with the man's brother. Over coffee in the hospital coffee shop, Bill and Marlena continue their discussion about Mickey and the fact that Mike may also be helped by trying to help his father. Marlena expresses her fear that Mickey has found a comfortable cave to hide in and he must be coaxed out into the light again if he is ever to get well.

Mickey has sent for Marlena Evans, but when she arrives at the sanitarium, he doesn't want to reveal he needed someone. But deftly she listens and talks to him. He admits the world has closed in on him, he has nothing left, not even his son. Mickey confesses he feels Don Craig is stealing his law practice away from him. Marlena listens calmly, trying to help. Marlena emerges from Mickey's room, finds an irate Don, who has been told he cannot see Mickey without a Miss Evans' permission. Marlena introduces herself, but things are off to a bad start. Don says he will go to Powell. He comes back from Powell's office, raging. Marlena is waiting. He sarcastically asks if she will take the papers to Mickey that require signing. Marlena says of course, leaving a very uptight Don. Later, Don and Marlena have a conversation. Don has cooled down somewhat, as he begins to understand this is a very sharp lady, he is forced to grudging respect. They discuss Mickey, his need for Mike.

Linda tells Marlena that she's been in love with Mickey for years and even tried to make him believe her daughter was his.

Marlena assures her she knows her job. Mike appears. Maggie leaves them alone. At first Mike is antagonistic to Marlena because she is a woman psychiatrist. But Marlena wins his confidence when she says she wants to make Mickey ready for outpatient therapy as soon as possible. Mike says he'll get an apartment today so his Dad can spend time with him. And he'll get a job to pay for the apartment. Alice comes home. Mike leaves. Marlena and Alice talk about Mickey's condition and Mike's need for his father. Later, in Don's office, Marlena comes to apologize for being suspicious of him. They end up with Don asking her to have lunch with him, and she accepts.

JASON47'S DEIDRE HALL COUNTDOWN TO 5000 EPISODES:
 
Here is Deidre's fourth episode, # 2672, which aired June 28, 1976.
 
Deidre Hall Countdown: 4,979 Episodes...21 Episodes to go.

Don and Marlena have lunch at Doug's Place. Marlena asks Don to visit Mickey more often, seek out his advice as a lawyer, renew confidence in himself again. Don questions her personal life, finds out she's single. Mary and Bob are having lunch, and when Mary sees Don's interest in Marlena, Bob tells her she must see other men. But no one compares to Don, she says. At the hospital, Don and Marlena arrive, meet Tom and Julie. Tom and Marlena go off to their appointment and when Julie tells Don about Amanda, he says perhaps he'd better hold off seeing her right now. As her attorney, he'd be expected to tell Amanda things that should only come from Neil and Greg. Tom sees a forceful woman in Marlena, but they like each other immediately. She tells him she wants Mickey to spend time away from the sanitarium, increasing the time away as they go along, get the man out in the world again. Tom is impressed with this girl who pulls no punches. When she leaves, Neil comes in to answer Tom's call. Tom tells him that Amanda is asking about any man in her life. At the boutique, Don enters and asks Mary what kind of a gag gift he can get for a lady who must eat crow. Mary is shaken by his interest in the girl she saw him have lunch with.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
