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).

Thanks @VelekaCarruthers and @JAS0N47

 

B&B

- Catherine Sedwick first listed as Director on January 23

She's been an Associate Director since at least 1989 and his been with the show since the beginning.   John Sedwick, I'm guessing her father (?), used to be a director for the show.

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?

    • I apologize in advance for asking y'all questions about who half these people are or what they're doing as I reenter this show after quite awhile.
    • Speaking of that story, it led me to this scene, which was part of a story I despised (it was one of the reasons I would skip wide swathes of the show at this time), but is another reminder of what a good actress Kim Zimmer was when given the material. I was a fan of Edmund's in spite of the many bad things he did - I think I was mostly just a fan of DAM, but I did often feel sorry for Edmund - but this story is one time where if Reva had put a cap in his ass, I would have been perfectly satisfied. There are so many stories Edmund survived that by many rights he shouldn't have...again, credit to DAM here. Maybe he had his own version of the Bradley Cole stans. Good for them. I always thought Mark Dobies (RIP) and Kim had some decent chemistry, even if the relationship was one of many discarded for "always." This for me was Beth's absolute dumbest story, which is saying a hell of a lot. I wonder how Beth Chamberlin felt about it. She always had chemistry with DAM, but chemistry was not enough for her to wander around that cardboard castle for months enabling and being such a smug princess.

    • Not much happened today, but there were a lot of good scenes. It was nice seeing people have someone to talk to about everything that’s been going on, especially Chad and EJ. I liked that Chad was there for him after what happened with Johnny yesterday. EJ convincing Chad to vote for him at the board meeting could lead to something interesting happening as well.  I also enjoyed seeing Kayla, Julie and Maggie all going head to head with Xander. The writing seems to have improved for all three of them.  NuRachel did a good job too. Just the way she delivers her lines sounds less evil than the other one did lol I still think that there’s something more to what she told Brady and Kristen. And I’m glad that Brady ripped EJ too. It was very well deserved, and I hope it was the first time of many. Belle was a little stupid in that scene though.  Btw, I didn’t expect the fate of the hospital to be all up to Brady lol  And, we got an update about Bo. It would be nice to see it though. I’m enjoying all these storylines, but too much of it seems to be happening offscreen. 
    • It's those Shayne genes, as Reva is also healed from blindness about 5 years later.

    •   That was such a moving little surprise. I remember reading some comments over the years about why the show never paired them up, but even beyond the clear reasons why, I kind of prefer it this way. I'm so glad their friendship was remembered and seen as meaningful by the show.  Jenny's death is one of the few of a major character that stuck. The impact was never what it should have been because Greg stopped being a major character not long after her death, but it still shows the strength you can have on a soap if you allow a character who meant a lot to so many (characters and fans) to stay dead.  (no comment on the Jenny doppelganger plot)
