Members JAS0N47 Posted April 7, 2015 Members Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yes, I just interviewed Simone Pascal (her name back then) last year and mentioned to her that she had the first line ever on Days.

Members JAS0N47 Posted April 12, 2015 Members Share Posted April 12, 2015 FROM THE VAULT: 45 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK: WORK SCHEDULE FOR 4/13/70-4/17/70 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted April 13, 2015 Members Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Interesting to see Joan Van Ark working 4 days ahead of some of the better known performers. Janene must have been important to the story at that time. Edited April 13, 2015 by Paul Raven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted April 13, 2015 Members Share Posted April 13, 2015 She had a busy week that week, but as to the order of the list. It's all of the contract actors (Mac Carey through Bill Hayes) followed by whoever works each day on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. That's why the yet-uncast U/5 Guard (working Wednesday) is listed above Mike Farrell (working Friday), who had been with the show since 1968. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted April 13, 2015 Members Share Posted April 13, 2015 Wow! Didn't realize Joan Van Ark was on DAYS! Cool. What was her character? How long was she around, was she well-liked? And I presume those episode numbers are the ones they were shooting that day and that they did not air until a later date? Thanks, Jason! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 13, 2015 Members Share Posted April 13, 2015 I believe JVA was only on for a short time - 1969-70, if I'm not mistaken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted April 14, 2015 Members Share Posted April 14, 2015 You're welcome! Yes, those are the episodes taped those dates, they aired a few weeks later. Janene was played by three actresses. She was a model who briefly dated Bill Horton. Mary Wilcox (Janene Whitney) 6/6/69-10/29/69 Pat Hornung (Janene Whitney) 11/5/69-3/19/70 Joan Van Ark (Janene Whitney) 4/27/70-9/11/70 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted April 15, 2015 Ketty Lester's quote breaks my heart, because it's so true. I had never heard so much detail about the Sharon story, beyond synopses. It sounds like something DAYS should have just avoided. When I was bored and coming up with story ideas a few years ago, I wanted to bring in a young niece for Julie, by her brother, who would be a lesbian and very rebellious and have a lot of issues, and it would force Julie to address what happened with Sharon all those years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted April 15, 2015 Members Share Posted April 15, 2015 That's a fascinating (and blunt) article. Thanks for posting. Pat Falken-Smith's quote about the actors expecting too much is ridiculous, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted April 15, 2015 Members Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yeah, Pat Falken-Smith was blatantly lying. Who ever heard of an engaged couple not even kissing?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted April 21, 2015 Members Share Posted April 21, 2015 I wonder why they recast each time?Were they not happy with the first two Janene's and kept looking for an actress that would click in the part and maybe then expand the role? Or was Janene only ever meant to be a minor role and the actresses were not available/interested in returning? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
