One of the most underrated actresses in Daytime.

Her playing secondary to Tracey Ross (an ok actress but nowhere near Amelia's league) on Passions was ridiculous.

Her sex appeal isn't the reason she's made to wear wigs.

But that's another conversation. :lol:

Yes, the first time she was fired Lexie and Tek were in a car crash.

The second time she was fired she didn't get an exit. In her last episode she and Abe were background extras at Shawn and Belle's wedding.

This is why I am shocked that she is on Contract. I thought her coming back last was in a recurring capacity. If anything, James Reynolds should be shaking in his boots because it was his air time that was hardest hit in her absence. IMO, the serial killer took down the right Carver in the first go around.

I think James Reynolds is safe for now. They're bringing on Lexie's new brother who will probably look out for him. I won't be surprised if he's dropped to recurring though.

I'm sure Beverley Todd will be great, but oh man how I wish it were Tanya Boyd sharing those last scenes with Renee Jones.

I'm actually shocked by this. I always thought Lexie/RJ would be one of those people who would be at Days until the end. It's easy to forget how long she's been on the show, as for half the time, Lexie has done nada. It's a shame that TPTB have over looked her potential for so long.

Is it wishful thinking to hope that they de-cast Celeste and manage by some miracle to bring Tanya Boyd back for Lexie's/RJ's final scenes? It just seems so wrong for Lexie to leave and TB not to be playing Celeste after all these years.

Good luck to RJ in whatever she does, and wherever she ends up.

It is so unfortunate that Tanya could not come home to usher Renee off. I hope still get flashbacks despite the recast. Especially since I doubt the Celeste character is going to be a critical character downstream, and this recast is probably a one time thing.

I'm wondering how much of RJ's retirement from acting is due to the fact that she's been relegated for so long and she just said f*ck it. It's not as if she was even being used so where does the "burnout" come from? I can certainly understand when not even a paycheck is worth showing up to a job that couldn't care less about you. I thought her final scenes would be months from now but she already taped her final scenes. Talk about quick.

DAYS tapes many months in advance, it's an Achilles heel of their production model, so her scenes will air months from now, won't be surprised if they air in June or July. Renee's contract hasn't yet fully expired, so she likely utilized one of her 13 week cycle "outs" in her contract, so timing will always seem tight.

It sound like just the opposite. She doesn't want to be in the front burner, she doesn't even want to be on recurring. She didn't even ask if the show could write her out a few months for vacation, she wanted out and never wants to act again it seems. It's not even like she wants to go do a different soap or even if every soap lined up to offer her any role at any price she would say yes. I bet she was grateful she always had a light workload and if she hadn't she probably would have left a long time ago,

I guess Renee has been the real winner in all this. With a contract, she shows up and gives her 5 lines of the week.. then she is back to her regular life. Even when she is on, she does not have the difficult pages of monologue required of other actors. I guess for the last decade, she has been the one laughing all the way back to the bank.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.

      Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.

      I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.

      Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis.

      Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?

        1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.

      Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
