When asked about the feud rumors, Crystal Chappell said, “If there were issues with Deidre, I didn’t know about them. I would guess that she didn’t like me very much.”

Chappell noted she could be wrong about thinking that Hall was not fond of her on Days of Our Lives set, adding I was a troubled young person. I was overworked. I made a lot of problems for myself. I was suicidal. I was in a very, very bad place. I left, not because I thought I’d be a big star; I left because I needed to get my health back.”

In response to Chappell’s allegation that Hall didn’t like her, the soap queen denied the feud rumors, saying, “I have always thought Crystal is an incredible actress — and still is.”

Hall added, “I never had an issue with Crystal. I didn’t know her well. But when I got there, she was gone soon after, so there is no basis for that rumour.”

Presumably Louise Sorel is on that coast because of the Lane Davies sponsored Santa Barbara 40th anniversary shindig. How wonderful is it that she took time out to go see friends at DAYS while in the vicinity!!!!

Is it possible that any of 1966 is there? I've tried to vary the search string different ways but I'm not coming up with anything.

These quotes to these rumors have been out there for awhile.  DH/CC could have gotten along fine. 

Although DH saying CC was gone not long after she came back isn't really accurate.  They worked together for two years and Carly was absolutely front burner the entire time.  Carly and Marlena didn't share a ton of scenes together, but two years seems like enough time to get to know someone lol. 

I am not discounting CC's word on why she left Days.  I believe her when she said she was in a bad mental space.  I have, however, read several other blurbs about her leaving being due to a variety of other issues.  MS getting canned, money, issues with JER, etc.

I am sure neither one care now, but I am inclined to think they really just didn't like each other and there were issues.

CC always struck me as toxic and high maintenance and not really worth the trouble of hiring.

Everything's there from 1965-Present. You can access the Day-By-Day Episode Guide links near the top of this page: http://www.jason47.com/days/episodesummaries.html

Thank YOU, Jason!

Agreed.  I will say back when she was hired by Days she was completely unknown.  Days was pretty desperate to find a Hope replacement (before Wayne/Deidre came back) and people seemed to enjoy the character.  I have never gotten her appeal and it was all Carly, all the time, but I can see DH having issue with her just in terms of airtime and visibility. 

It seems strange to think about now, but DH/WN were mostly backburned after the Tale of Two Romans.  DH was just basically background until the pit story/affair and I could see her being upset.  Add to the clear struggles Crystal had it seems like a pretty easy leap for DH to be irritated at the very least.  

I am not saying DH is a gem to work with, but Crystal's issues with almost everyone are much more widely known.

TIL that a certain disgraced former producer directed a 2017 movie called A Million Happy Nows starring numerous DAYS actors (including Crystal Chappell & Jessica Leccia (Natalia-GL) )

Yeah, last year this time I asked CC if that credit was accurate.

My Rumble account has a Doug & Julie channel https://rumble.com/c/c-6551044

It also has a Classic DAYS channel https://rumble.com/c/c-6636027

Right now I am in the process of putting specific dates on 18 files 

1965 & 1966 Marie, Tony, Tony's dad Craig, Ben & Addie, Julie, Mickey, Tom & Alice, etc. It includes the show's first wedding (Marie & Tony's dad)

Mickey is a funny guy. He caught David kissing Julie. Julie is a brat. Ben & Addie are so different from what I recall a few years later on. Tom Horton is considered some kind of miracle diagnostician & has the title at the hospital of Senior Internist. 

I'm not sure about interest but I've just gotten 244 files of RoMar edits.
