Mike Farrell (Scott Banning)                  10/15/68-6/24/70 non contract.

In fact all 3 Scotts were non contract roles.

@JAS0N47 (or any Salem historians) Do the Dimera's live in Kellam Chandler's (Liz's father) old house?  I remember something about Tony getting the house.  But maybe that was someone else, and maybe the family has moved since then?  Or did Victor win someone's house?

I also vaguely recall Liz living in the Chandler mansion during her marriage to Neal.  And I wonder if she inherited any of Kellam's money, given that between Tod and Joshua, she was the last one standing?

Intro same, still star billing

20:54 Quality is about par for most of these early 65 episodes. This one has a slight reddish tint. Not distracting.

Cast: Marie, Alice, Tom, Craig, Tony, the wife of a patient on the phone with Tom

Locations: Salem, Hortons, different rooms

Tom, Marie & Alice are in the dining room. Marie has on her wedding dress. Alice is taking measurements & pinning several spots. (They are cutting it close. The wedding is tomorrow, Saturday.) 
Alice says she's done & to go change clothes quickly because Mickey is picking them up & taking them out to supper somewhere, it's a surprise where.  Marie leaves, Doorbell. Tom puts down his paper & goes to the door. He returns with 2 corsages, gardenias, one for Alice & one for Marie. 
Mickey's anxious to take everyone out to eat at some surprise place where he's made a reservation. He says they're going to be late!
Alice claims to have chores to finish.
Tom pins a corsage on Marie's left lapel of her suit jacket.
Mickey asks if she's taking this doll with her when she & Tony are married & leave for Boston? 
Marie quips that no, she was planning on that particular doll going to Mickey's bachelor pad. 
They have a conversation about redoing this bedroom as a bedroom for Julie.
They crack jokes about the pictures they had up in their bedrooms when they were younger. 
Tony arrives. 
Alice lets him in. 
Tony asks if he could have a few moments alone with Marie before .... He says he needs to speak with her. 
Tom gets a phone call from a patient's wife who has an ulcer. 
Alice shows him into what I think is the study. He waits. Vrey quickly Marie arrives & comes barreling into the room, so happy to see him. They embrace. 
He says, "You look lovely."
She says, "I love you."
They kiss, for a while. 
Then, she thinks he has an engagement ring for her. But, he doesn't, and says he's sorry but he couldn't get the ring. Then he says he doesn't have time to go out with them tonight because he's got a reservation set & he's flying back to Boston tonight. Immediately.
She asks why, is it because of the fellowship. 
He says no, but that he did get the fellowship. 
She is so excited for him & thanks him for bringing such good news to her. 
He asks her to please listen to him. 
She says he can't fly back to Boston tonight because we're getting married tomorrow. 
He says he can't take her to Boston with him.
She asks why not?
He says he now knows he's not ready for the responsibility & it's a good thing he figured this out now instead of later. 
She says he can't be serious!
He says he just can't.
She says it's very late to announce a postponement. 
He says he's not talking about a postponement, that he can't ever marry her. 
She says something is wrong about this conversation. You're not being honest with me. Don't you love me?
He says not to even ask that question, that it's a silly question. 
He leaves.
She's beside herself, crying & saying over & over, "Not again."
Tom is pounding on the door, saying they're going to lose their table. 
Just then, Tony's dad, Craig arrives. He is so sorry. He explains that Tony has just called off the wedding, the engagement, everything. 
Tom is angry that Craig knew & didn't tell him ahead of time. 
Craig says he was sure that Tony would change his mind & that Tony is going to regret this for the rest of his life. They go in the room & Marie is out cold, on the floor & they look at the bottle in her hand. Tom calls for Mickey to bring his doctor's bag fast.

I just figured it out.  The Dimera's took over Stuart Whyland's house.

[JAS0N47]

These items were listed in scripts, so I don't know if they are the actual same houses, but they were the same sets at one point. The DiMera Mansion of today I consider to be the one Shane & Kimberly lived in in the late 80's, So that eventually became the DiMera Mansion in the 90's.

I recall that Chandler set had the small staircase in the middle of the room.

I'm pretty sure it was then used for Stuart Whyland, the DiMeras, Alex Marshall and Neil/ Liz.

Gotta get your money's worth out of that investment.

[Contessa Donatella]

As it happens there was no show broadcast on 11-25-65, so this was broadcast on 11-26-65.

God... I will die to be able to watch this era in full. 

[Contessa Donatella]

Another collector & I are putting our 1965 episodes together. I think it looks like we've got the entire month of Nov. '65 from the premiere through 11-30-65.

@DRW50 Nice find!  I have a Folger's commercial that Mike and SSH did around the same time, or maybe a bit earlier.  I'll try to find it.
