DAYS: Makeup room photo chart reveals contract cast for some point in 2022

[Soapsuds]

I called it a while back. But until June? The taping is beyond ridiculous! There'll be another Beyond Salem special..."It's the Easter Beagle Will and Sonny" before they appear on the main show.

Well the picture was taken in December, so we don't know how long they might have been on contract prior to that picture. But yes the taping is ridiculous. I want them on the show now, lol. 

[Soapsuds]

They taped in December yet won't be seen until the summer?

The photo chart was photographed in the makeup room (accidentally caught in the background of a selfie) on December 15th.  We catch glimpses of this type of cast photo chart every year or two when someone accidentally shows it in the background of their pic, and usually each time (but not always) the chart has been updated with a new arrangement of photos ... but we don't know how often they update the photochart.

We don't know the exact date hat this version of the photochart was created.  It could be recent, it could have been there for a few months.  But it's probably recent since all of the pics came from professional publicity headshots - and Linsey G. did new headshots in early December.

And yeah we don't know how long the actors newly on contract (Zach etc) ... may have been on contract prior to this glimpse of this version of the photochart.

i mean that ridiculous schedule is what kept new eps of DAYS on though the first lockdown. I can't imagine other soaps aren't seriously looking into a similar tape schedule.

Yup and with omicron so contagious it's a question of when productions will start shutting down again.

[Soapsuds]

And what did we get classic Y&R episodes. Better than the regular show and the classic episodes were beating new episodes of Days in the ratings. If things shut down we'll get classic YR again.

I agree with so many others here.  If Missy Reeves is not willing to commit full time then cut her loose and let her be.  Cady McClain has proven she has the chops and the ability to play Jennifer Horton.  If Cady is willing to commit to a contract, then bring her back as Jennifer and keep Matt Ashford around.  Since Hope is gone, Jack and Jen could become the matriarch and patriarch for the Horton family much like Doug and Julie have been over these years, since Tom and Alice passed.  Kayla and Steve could be the same for the Brady family, since it is obvious Roman is jumping at the gun to get re-married anytime soon.

Some ABC Shows did postpone resuming Filming Til the week of Jan 10th. i wouldnt call that a shut down

I don't know how credible this is, but soapoperanews is reporting Lindsey Godfrey's return this month. I think I saw something about her appearing in Gwen's dream or something.

SOD is reporting Lindsy Godfrey returns as Sarah Horton, the week of January 17th.   With her placement on the chart, it appears Godfrey is on contract too.  I'm glad, so we don't have to get used to another recast.

The first person in the 5th row could be Heather Lindell(Jan Spears) or Tina Huang(Melinda Trask).   The 4th person in row 5, is a blonde woman.... hmmm ... maybe a newSydney, new Claire, or Mimi or Cady McClain as Jenn? Could the guy between that new blonde woman and Greg Vaughan(Eric), be Cameron Johnson(Theo)?  The woman at the end is a brunette woman, if the other 1 is Heather Lindell or Tina Huang, this woman could be the other or maybe someone new period. The guy after Lamon Archey(Eli), likely a new castmember, maybe a new Phillip?
