DAYS: First-ever "classic" episode to air on NBC on Friday 11/23!

[JAS0N47]

Eileen Davidson (Kristen) mentioned in an interview she did for blogtalkradio.com that "Days" is supposed to be airing a Kristen episode from 1997 to fill the Friday, November 23 time slot. Due to the NHL cancelling its day-after Thanksgiving game, "Days" was forced to insert a repeat episode. This will be the first time in the 47-year history of "Days" that a repeat of a "classic" episode will be airing on NBC. "Days" might also be airing another classic episode this coming January 1, 2013, when another NHL game which was supposed to preempt the show was cancelled due to the on-going lockout. More information will be posted about the exact episode #, cast list, set list and complete scene-by-scene when it becomes available.

I'm really excited by this and that they're actually using a classic episode! I wish ABC would do the same and I hope CBS airs actual classics of Y&R this year.

At least CBS does epis themed with the holiday. ABC either does epis from last month of that damn train wreck or hostage crisis. Nothing says Happy Holidays like violence!

I just wonder if encore refers to classic this year for Y&R, we probably will get that damn 10,000 episode!
