PEGGIE REYNA NEWS...
 
Having Steve mention the sign language storyline recently made me check to see how Peggie Reyna (Peggy, Kayla's sign language teacher) was doing, and I was surprised to learn two things I had not known before: She became hard of hearing because of domestic violence, and ABC actually made a TV movie based on her life in 1996  ("Breaking Through" with Kellie Martin and JoBeth Williams). Here's her current bio with more info: https://www.calcasa.org/wp-content/uploads/files/peggie-reyna-bio.pdf

FROM THE VAULT: JESSICA RAINS GUESTS ON "DAYS"...
 
Another message board was asking about Ruthie, the role Jessica Rains played on "Days" for 6 episodes in 1972. I ended up having 5 of Ruthie's 6 episodes in my files. Only her last episode, 5/29/72, is not available.  Rains is the daughter of actor Claude Rains, who acted from the 1920s to 1960s.

There was a Little House Reunion last weekend and the Sun got theses quotes

 

Asked why she was written out of the show, she insists it was her fault because she was new to soap operas and felt she hadn't given the writers what they needed.

She appeared in 77 episodes from 1983 to 1984 and was not the first actress to play Horton.

"I didn't leave the show because I wanted to leave," she admitted.

"I left the show because I think I didn't understand how it worked. You really have to give them something to write for. 

The two "juicy" parts of the story

  1. "I'm very comfortable in sweatshirts and jeans. I'm very comfortable without makeup. So, it was a whole new world for me. "And I have very large hands, very large feet. I'm not comfortable in certain clothes. (certainly the silliest quote)
  2. She recalled one unnamed actor who blew up on set while filming Days Of Our Lives, on which she played Sandy Horton for a year before her character was written out. "But there was only one guy one day who blew up on the set. You know how you have a meltdown and you offload and it was very verbal, it was all over the place, it quieted everyone. "It was not pretty but I thought, wow, I've gotten this far in my career and never had that happen and it never happened again. (let the guessing begin)

    • Christian Streaty penned today's Day's script. https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-streaty/
    • Yes, they did.  I still have them.  I think there were three.  AMC and GH as well.
    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
