Ron's best story since he joined is the Aly pregnancy story but of course it's short lived and involves a bunch of actors Corday had to fire to meet budget this year.  The 'who gets the baby' in the old days would have lasted a year at least.  It was all so rushed and played along side another Ron special train wreck, Eve's revenge, which was unwatchable as usual.

Not a lot of productions up and running so not surprised to hear actors like Sweeney and Thiebaud are running back to their soaps for a paycheck.

 

But yeah, Sweeney/Sami brings energy to the show. Pay her whatever she wants. They aren't paying Alfonso anymore.

Same.

 

You mean since she found out he was alive? Appeared no. I want to say during one of her last visits, Sami mentioned his therapy was going well though. I think someone else will know better than me though on mentions.

Great news for the show. AS managed her 2014 exit from DAYS perfectly: she has built her Hallmark producing business enviably and has dipped into DAYS in such a way that she maintains goodwill with the audience and TPTB at DAYS and Sony and NBC. 

 

It sounds like a deal that will take her well into 2021.

Sounds like it's a year deal basically per Deadline:

I assume all her Hallmark projects have been put on hold since they rely so heavily on romance plus the added costs of co-vid precautions might make them not worth to shoot at the moment. I guess that why she was willing to jump on for a year arc.

This is what I find so outrageous about DAYS’ advance production schedule. All too often you will have actors who will “leave” the show and make a big fanfare of saying “oh it’s been so wonderful, thank you for having me on”, while in the meantime the production is far in advance that they’ve probably taped new appearances 2-3 times by the time they’ve made their initial “farewell speech”.

 

This is why I don’t pay too much heed to DAYS’ comings and goings anymore, due to the immense lag time.

For real. I've stopped keeping track. Aside from Kristian Alfonso (who will no doubt return for the inevitable series finale down the road), I pretty much assume anyone who leaves will be back or is already back. 

 

I'm glad Ali Sweeney is sticking around longer. But I hate how the status of Sami's life has been in such a state of limbo ever since her 2014 exit. The idea of chasing EJ around all over the world and now caring for someone who's supposedly EJ with 90% body burns (but who will probably return onscreen one day with perfect skin) just feels erratic. I'm over a month behind on DAYS, but is there any mention of Johnny?

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
