Doesn't seem to be a right or wrong I suppose.

True. I don't want to be "thread police" so I just pointed out where the discussion was, without judging it.  It is ... what it is.

I forget that all spoilers are basically in one thread now. Apologies. I was thinking that KA's return should have it's own thread. It's that important and a "hot topic".  😀

Technically @Errol said the monthly spoilers would be in one thread for each month.   Casting spoilers do usually have their own threads. 

And yes KA is normally worthy of her own thread, although it's also understandable to include her return within this thread for "returns for Doug's funeral".


Meanwhile, we have two simultaneous threads for
"returns for Doug's funeral" 

I would suggest that  @Toups or @Errol merge the the two returns threads and then rename the merged thread as "DAYS: November/December 2024 returns" or something that clarifies what it's for, without revealing the spoiler in the title.

EDIT --  thank you  @Jeff to pointing out the confusion of two "returns" threads,

and thank you to @Toups for merging/renaming the two threads.

Funny enough, some sites are stating she did not return to set until the 22nd.

That's Stephanie Sloane for tvinsider reporting that Kristian returned April 22.
And Deadline quoted tvinsider with the same info.
Deadline added that KA airs Nov. 29. (last eppy of November).
Other sites said 15,000th episode airs at beginning of December.
So she taped weeks apart but is airing around the same time.

Also Kristian posted on her own IG today April 23
a video titled "1st day back" - so that confirms she just returned.  It shows her and Beemer, walking around the Days sets. With stage manager Lucy wearing a headset, and a blurry image of an unidentified woman in a dress (maybe a director or other staffperson or unnamed actress)

Could it be the director, Sonia?

I thought it might be her.  I looked at photos online of Sonia. Sometimes her hair is curlier/wavier that that, but then again those photos might be for special events instead of a normal workday?

To be fair, the announcement and ensuing discussion inadvertently got
posted onto the Days April 2024 spoilers thread,
(even though this is a November 2024 spoiler).
So there has been some posting about it.

I mean it's not *wrong* --  in that it's 
a spoiler announced during April.
It's just not a spoiler that will air during April.

I would guess this is also why Melissa Reeves' announcement got little mention. Once upon a time that would have generated a number of pages.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES has invited me back to the show to celebrate 15000 episodes!
And to participate in the funeral for our beloved "Doug Williams," played by that wonderful man, Bill Hayes.
Soaps are the only venue where you get to go to two funerals for the same person, in real life and for the character.

I feel so incredibly blessed to have these lifelong friends… No matter if we haven't seen each other for months or even years we always pick up right where we left off. I love you @missyreeves and @kristianalfonso #❤️
