forgot something

oh wow!!! finally, Maggie and Marlena share a scene and actually speak to each other. so happy for that! 

also seeing Marlena's first visit at the Hortons from 1976, such a treasure!!! 

and Julie telling Leo the horton family history, including marie becoming a nun after falling for her long lost presumed dead brother Tommy. 

beautiful episode, honoring the horton legacy.

Actually if we go with expectations, rather than harmless pipe dreams, I think they'll bring back KA so we'll have Hope & I doubt they'll do anyone else. I could be wrong. That would be great. Maybe they will include a number of flashbacks. So much time between now & then & so much could change between then & now. 

And, things that we have Alarr to "thank" for, well, agree that is a kind of "Never forget" situation & while we're remembering we should stay in touch with the fact that Corday made Alarr possible. The Piano Man put the Monster in power. 

I wonder if they would bring in Dougs son Dougie... It would be a character with a lot of back story they could explore and it would give hope a sibling on the canvas.

Elsewhere I said I thought they ought to cast an adult male to play grown-up Dougie & people really liked the idea but that's fans, so again it's unlikely they'd do something like that. Presumably he would now be called Doug. Sigh.

He’s a character with zero backstory who hasn’t appeared in 50 years. Days doesn’t need another 50+ man on the show, especially one with no connections.

Hope already has a sibling on the canvas.

Hope has no relationship with Dougie or Steven. How about Hope’s relationship with her children and grandchildren?

Technically not the first actual time. Tom wasn't in the episode where Marlena went to the house for the first time and met Alice, Maggie and Mike.

BRYAN, WHERE ARE YOU??

I just sent this note to someone at Days. Hopefully it gets to the correct person and Bryan will finally get the credit he is due:

 

Just wondering what is up with Bryan Dattilo not ever being credited in the past year. The last time he was listed in the end credits was the week of 3/13/23. The last 8 weeks he has appeared (the weeks of 10/16/23, 12/11/23, 1/8/24, 1/15/24, 1/29/24, 2/5/24, 2/12/24, 2/19/24), he is never listed in the credits. Can you pass this note along to whoever types the credits and make sure he gets back in them next time he is on?  Thanks! 

Whatever it is that's keeping Deidre and Suzanne apart on-screen and off-, I wish the two would find a way to overcome it.  There have been so many times when it didn't make sense for Maggie and Marlena not to be in the same scene.

Why drag Marlena down like that?

One of my all-time favourite episodes was from 2003 when Maggie was brutally murdered by Marlena. She should have never been brought back.

I know we had this discussion fairly recently, but I can't remember who was involved.  Anyway, yesterday Julie clarified Tommy was in the Korean War again.  Given the flashbacks and dates it seems Alice was about 108 when she died.

There's much in books about Tommy & the Korean War. They wanted it to be, naturally, the Vietnam War but NBC just insisted that they could not even mention it & suggested the Korean War instead which was absurd & did not fit at all with the timeline but the show was stuck with it. 

it's funny when roman mentioned Sandy Horton "I remember when I was kid, sandy.. Tommy Horton's daugther, we ran through that house day and night"... 

her character wasn't mentioned in years!!! didn't even know she and roman were friends when growing up.

I suppose it doesn't really matter now, but it does make Alice/Tom much older than they should be.

I think this has been established before?   I don't know how I know this, but it wasn't a surprise to me, so I assume Roman may have mentioned it years ago.  I think the last time Sandy was on she did interact with Roman/Marlena IIRC.
