Dan O'Connor's first script aired today on Days. But does he last past Ron's final 3 months?

And...it was not a great script but with the focus on bad actor Javi and Body & Soul, the cards were stacked against Dan turning in a good script.

Thanks. Interesting that Megan's Linkedin has her starting the script writer position in June 2024 but this week's episodes were shot (according to your prod. schedule) the week of May 20 which means she wrote these scripts in April likely. Dan was interviewed in mid April at the writer's guild awards and mentioned that he was with Days at that point. His name in the credits makes sense this week given the tape date and probable writing date of his episode (April writing/May shooting).

John Sedwick was a phenomenal daytime director whose daughters, Cathy and Joanne, have long histories with the soaps as well. His wife, Margaret, played Dr Sedwick on Guiding Light for years (recurring). John started out as a Dark Shadows assistant director and Dan Curtis quickly promoted him as Director (along with ground breaking Lela Swift). He directed over 250 DS episodes before leaving.  Some of the most memorable DS episodes were his! He was nominated 4 times as EDGE director. He left Edge about 6 months before cancellation and took a director position at Santa Barbara (filmed in CA). He then directed at Generations, B&B and Loving before retiring.  He died in 2008.  His Edge-directed episodes were also amazing and distinct.

For those who know the writer from other shows, is the new Days writer spelled Dan O'Conner or Dan O'Connor?

When he is on the alphabetical list in the credits, it's spelled O'Conner. For the two episodes he has actually written, they have spelled it O'Connor.

So which is correct?
