Patricia Barry pictured alongside her Addie ornament, which is hung on the Horton Christmas tree each year. This original ornament, which Ms. Barry hung on the tree herself in the 1970's, was donated to the Smithsonian in 2015. A replica will be placed on the tree this year.

 

Here's Patricia Barry in the 1940 census. Then 17 and going to high school in Davenport, Iowa.

 

Here's the NBC press release annoucing Patricia Barry joining the cast of "Days of Our Lives" in 1971.

 

Here's the script cover and scenes of Addie giving birth to Hope in January 1974.

Episode # 2045...January 11, 1974
Act Four: Int. Surgery

(It is important in this scene that we stay in close on Addie’s face, do not see and only barely hear the voices and actions of the O.S. operating team. Addie is heavily sedated, but awake. This is like a surrealistic dream world in which her face floats in a misty darkness. From time to time, we will hear Tom’s voice reassuring her, but this will be the only audible voice other than Addie’s. Her eyes will be open at times, half-closed at others, as she fights an increasing drowsiness)

Addie is asking Tom why it is taking so long. Addie is sedated and Tom’s voice seems far away. She asks if he’s there and Tom reassures her that everything’s all right. She tells him that she can’t see him. He says he’s right there. She asks about the baby. As she’s talking to Tom, Bailey is asking for a clamp and sutures. Addie is now asking Tom not to lie to her about the baby. She says she promised Doug a perfect baby. She says she can’t fail him and says she’s failed him so often. During this time we see Doug’s face over Addie’s as she thinks of their wedding vows. She keeps talking, telling Tom that Doug didn’t love her at first. That he loved someone else. Then we see Julie’s face. Addie thinks of the conversation she had with Julie where Julie tells her that Doug will tire of her and come running back to her.  Now Addie is talking out loud saying that Doug loves her and he wants their baby. Addie goes back to asking about the baby. Bailey tells the team to put Addie under because he’s going to take the baby now. Addie is asking where she is and not to leave her and that she's worried about the baby.

As the screen starts to go black, Addie’s eyes close and we hear Tom’s voice say, very gently, "It’s a girl, Addie. A perfect—baby girl."

(And on the…SOUND: CRY OF THE BABY, GROWING LOUDER AND LOUDER…as Addie’s face fades, we Fade to Black)

Episode # 2046...January 14, 1974

Prologue: Limbo Area of Surgery 

(Few minutes after close of yesterday’s episode. Close on Addie. Her eyes blink, then close. After beat, Tom’s face comes in close to Addie’s)

TOM: Addie—it’s a girl. You have a perfect baby girl.

(He smiles tenderly as he sees that Addie is deep in sleep. His hand gently smooths back her hair)

TOM (vo): Perhaps it’s just as well she didn’t hear me. Doug’s the one who should give her the wonderful news...Just sleep, darling. And when you wake up, your husband is going to tell you that you have a beautiful, and perfect, little baby girl.

Int. Waiting Area Outside Surgery

(Doug, Alice, Laura. Establish their long and anxious wait, their moods. Then bring Tom out of surgery.)

ALICE: Tom--?

(Tom comes to them, deeply emotional. But the glow in his eyes tells them the news is good about the baby)

TOM: A baby girl—

(General soft reaction, but Doug has only one thing on his mind)

DOUG: Addie—Tom,  is Addie all right--?

(Tom reassures him)

TOM: She’s sleeping, Doug—

LAURA: A little girl.

TOM: Five pounds, ten ounces—and perfect in every way.

ALICE: (going into his arms)  Oh, Tom—

TOM: Yes, darling—perfect right down to her little toes.

ALICE: God was listening, Tom.

(Laura hugs Doug. Speaks wistfully)

LAURA: Did you hear that, Doug? You have a perfect baby girl.

(Doug barely nods. When he speaks, he means Addie)

DOUG: I want to see her.

TOM: You can see your baby when she’s taken to the nursery, Doug.

DOUG: I mean my wife.

TOM: Mel is still finishing up—

LAURA: It’ll be a while yet, Doug.

TOM: I’ll arrange for you to see Addie in the recovery room—

LAURA: They’ll let you know the minute she wakens.

TOM: And then you can tell her the good news yourself

(Camera moves in close on Laura)

LAURA (vo): A little girl. Perhaps—when Bill and I are married...Strange, how things work out. How we all protected Mickey. Kept him from knowing Michael was not his son. And now...now he’s out there somewhere...not knowing he never can father a child...

    • I like the slow burn romance building between Tomas and Kat, and I also liked the homework scene with Tyrrell and his lady friend (Phil & Tara on AMC had a study date talking math as they made eyes at one another). What I most liked about this episode was that we had longer scenes today between Anita/Tracy, Chelsea/Kat, and Tomas/Kat mixed with shorter scenes.   I wonder if the breakdown writer, or script writer, determines the length of each scene.  I also have a feeling Chelsea's going to run to Dani after learning about Hayley's possible bun in the oven... and that horrid heffer (Dani) will stick her nose where it doesn't belong. That said, I liked the spark of spunk from Hayley at the end.  If she were smart, she'd pay the country club crowd no attention and focus on making friends with others outside the gate.
    • After his excellent portrayal of JFK - I remember watching it as a kid and being wicked impressed - Devane must have been in demand for big ticket projects. Sadly, he didn't get very good guidance in choosing the right parts, an often overlooked aspect of the entertainment business....to Knot's Landing's benefit, of course...
    • I'm not ready at all. But at least I can take some time at least. I know I'm going to be a crying mess.
    • I hope Rena Sofer, as Lois, remains at GH for a long time to come
    • Well, the writing wasn't helping him so it's good to hear.   VERY good to hear.
    • I'll give it a shot. If this is bad it's on you, @carolineg!
    • Absolutely ridiculous that three soaps are going to make me watch today's episodes.
    • *eyeroll* on Hayley.   While I feel like he has more chemistry with Eva, the actor playing Tomas is slooooowly improving.   Le sigh Smitty. That said...we know I'm loving the near-misses around Martin's secret. And happy it is getting attention again the last week of May Sweeps.
    • I love how farmboy  Hart became a Guido with a thick New York accent. You could tell they never knew or cared what to do with Hart post MH, he was just a hunk of steroids to take off their shirt and have girls fight over him, but I never understood what Bridget, Dinah or Cassie saw in him..(besides the proverbial roll in the hay, now there is a 20 on the dresser get out.) The move from Hilliard to Grillo was really quick and I would like to know the story...was Moniz not liking him? For more on our good old George Pilgrim, read "Unscripted" where he makes a cameo appearance as Sumner Redstone's much younger mistresses side piece. When you read about him you could imagine that Pilgrim was writing his own dialogue as obnoxious J.  There is NO way he was a product of Nola and Quint.
    • What an hour of soap opera television. -- It doesn't get much better than this. Every actor delivered in every storyline. There's so much blame to be placed on so many characters for their mistakes, yet it's impossible not to sympathize with them. -- When Tracy looked at Gio after hearing the news about Dante and Brook Lynn, iT was just another example of the excellence of Jane Eliott. All it took was one look to make an already good Giovanni Mazza even better. -- My heart broke for Gio, but you have to feel heartbreak for Brook Lynn and Dante, too, unless you have ice in your veins. -- Cody's understanding and sympathy for everyone was real and sincere. Lulu was into her "Well, maybe in the long run this will all be better," but Cody understood that part of Lulu's reaction was a defense. She made mistakes, but she never wanted to hurt anyone. -- Neither did Lois, who's going to get it from all sides and take the brunt of the blame. I don't think she'll get any relief from Ned. Rena Sofer has been great at expressing her pain. -- Rory Gibson is off to a good start as Michael, and is expressing more emotion than he did in his entire run at Y&R. -- I didn't mind the Trina and Kai "first time" scenes. Those scenes were well-acted and nicely directed, and some goodness was needed in a show with so much heaviness. GH is on a really good run, and every day has been must-see TV.
