DAYS: Drake Hogestyn's return ends streak

HALL & HOGESTYN HIATUS ENDS DRAKE'S STREAK

Deidre Hall (Marlena) and Drake Hogestyn (John)'s two-month long hiatus which

began on June 5 ends when the duo reappears on the show on Thursday, August 10.

July 2006 was the first month ever that either actor went an entire calendar month

without appearing on the show for at least one episode. The two-month hiatus ended

Hogestyn's record 246 months-in-a-row streak of appearing in episodes from January

1986-June 2006. His previous low was one-episode appearances in September 2001

and June 2006.

Wow! It's kinda sickening that Drake's been on that long, and so much ... lmao. Why, I don't know. Just kind of weird. LOL.

As always, your info continues to impress me Jason.

Will Beth Milstein be head-writing by then (when J&M return)?

Yes, she will be writing when J&M return because [s.W.S.N.B.N.] mentioned in the WoST interview that Beth Milstein has already started writing, and Deidre Hall & Drake Hogestyn return taping on July 14.

Yeah Toups said Milstein's first episode airs on August 8 so she will be writing when J&M return.

Glad to have a offcial date finally :) .

August 9th. ;) So yeah, it was Beth's idea to bring them back.

Because he's one of the most popular actors in the history of DAYS. That's the reason why he was on for 20 straight years. LOL

Exactly-Drake isn't the best actor but he isn't the worst. Days is not the same without him.

So Toups, does that mean Days was not going to bring them back for longer yet? The way you said it has me thinking if not for Beth they would not be back for a long while.

They were suppose to be gone for the summer and now their first episode will be Beth's second episode. So, I'm assuming Beth brought them back.

Have they explained where John and Marlena are right now?

Oh Ok. Good for Beth. It was bad enough they were gone this long.

Carrie mentioned to Caroline on Wednesday's show that they are out of town and would've been able to make the wedding bad she and Lucas kept the original date.

So Marlena finally escapes the clutches of her murderous husband and then she and John go on holiday! Okay! Sure! Fine. It's Days. Okay, they would need a rest after all of that but it appears so abrupt and the whole story was isolated anyway. I hope they've had a chance to rethink those characters.

Thanks, PhoenixRising.

I hope to see a completely different Marlena when she returns! I haven't been a big fan of the way she has been written or acted these past few years. The few times Diedre has impressed me are when she has really strong writing.

I just don't think Drake can act and fail to see his appeal so not really looking forward to his return.

  • Member

I hope Marlena returns stronger too. John and Marlena are much better when she isn't a damsel in distress and he's not Rambo trying to save her. Deidre can step up and give it her best when she can, and Drake, well, let's put it this way, I'll take him over Ronn Moss and Maurice Benard any day of the year.

It would be interesting if they didn't leave town, but laid low, each sporting a lovely pair of black gloves...

They had been scheduled for a 6 to 8 week hiatus and it's been that, so they were due back anyway. I hope that Beth writes well for Marlena and John as the last story was not one to show off their strong suit as well as they need an interesting story.

They were supposed to be off for the entire summer, 2 months. They've only been gone for one so far. Also they were not given dates to return to work so they had no idea when they were going to be written for. This is definitely earlier than it was intended, or at the very least it's nice that they aren't off completely for the two months straight and I'm glad. It will be great seeing them back even if it is without a story and just to add support.

RBSoapFan: But they were off for over two months. June 6 to August 9 they never appeared. They never worked at all in the studio in May or June. Jason
