It sure doesn't look like Zach is on contract. The show is a mess. What was the purpose of bringing them back if they aren't on air? 

Chandler movie will come out first before we see him on air on Days.

In the old days, the primary contract actors would have guarantees of 3x per week.  (And the nonprimary contract actors would appear maybe 2x or 1.5 times per week).
Nobody gets that anymore.

I think most contract actors right now appear maybe 1x per week or 1.5 times per week.  Some average even less.
@JAS0N47 would you please clarify that?

If actors have low guarantees, then it averages out, so if they are on three times one week, we might not see them again until two weeks later.

Oh, FFS.  If things have gotten THIS bad, then just cancel the damn show.

Is Belle gonna shriek about everything that Jan?  "JAN SPEARS HAS PUT THE TOILET PAPER ROLL ON THE WRONG WAY!!!!!"

"Days" doesn't give anyone over a 2-per-week anymore, as you can see from the 2021 stats (not all are on the same cycles though, so it's hard to fully compare with yearly stats, but it's a good estimate):

2-per-week (90-100ish)

1. Deidre Hall (Marlena Black) 99
2. Robert Scott Wilson (Ben Weston) 92
3. Arianne Zucker (Nicole Brady) 91
4. Paul Telfer (Xander Cook Kiriakis) 88
5. Lindsay Arnold (Allie Horton) 87
*. Galen Gering (Rafe Hernandez) 87

1.5-per week (75-80ish)
7. Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe Lane) 85
8. Camila Banus (Gabi DiMera) 83
9. Eric Martsolf (Brady Black) 82
10. Emily O'Brien (Gwen Rizczech) 81
11. Brandon Barash (Jake DiMera) 80
12. Jay Kenneth Johnson (Philip Kiriakis) 78
13. Victoria Konefal (Ciara Weston) 76
14. Sal Stowers (Lani Price Grant) 75
15. Tamara Braun (Ava Vitali) 70
*. Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera) 70
*. Drake Hogestyn (John Black) 70
*. Alison Sweeney (Sami DiMera) 70

Zach Tinker was the SOD podcast episode that came out today. He said DAYS originally signed him to a 3 month contract, then they extended it. It is possible they have upped his guarantee after that 3 months. 


Also I remember when Zach was promoting Beyond Salem, he mentioned having a few upcoming projects in the works, that didn't sound DAYS related. Just taking a guess, but if he already had some prior commitments when asked to the mothership, that could explain why his airtime is sporadic.

In the past 5 years, a lot of DAYS actors have had 3-month contracts or 6-month contracts. Most newcomers have contracts of one year or less.  Sometimes the actors (oldtimers and newcomers) go on a contract for a while, then recurring for a while, and then back to short contract.

All those pictures for Tues April 26 episode ... Thanks for posting them. But I have no interest in watching those particular scenes.

There's a spoiler for Tues April 26 "Marlena questions Eric about his feelings for Nicole."  But the show didn't release a spoiler pic for that?  Sigh.

    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.  
    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
