"DAYS" WEEKLY PRODUCTION SCHEDULE: 1965-1969

"Days" fans, take a step back in time and check out the weekly production schedule from 1965-1969, now available online!

Find out which episodes were taped each week, plus, check out the telecast reports for Episode #s 1, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1000 to see which sponsors aired ads during the show's earliest years, as well as which shows NBC aired promos of (the original "Star Trek" is listed on one!).

THE DAY "DAYS" ALMOST WENT LIVE!

A new piece of information has been found while compiling the production dates of the 1960's "Days" episodes..."Days" almost had to go live in April 1967.

Thanks to a 13-day strike by AFTRA, "Days" had to unexpectedly stop taping after Tuesday, March 28, 1967 and went dark for two straight weeks. The show did not resume taping until Tuesday, April 11, 1967, just 24 hours before Episode # 365 was set to air. The next day, on Wednesday, April 12, 1967, the production schedule shows that "Days" got even closer to going live...they didn't finish taping Episode # 366 until 4:05PM PT (which is 7:05PM ET)...less than 16 hours before the episode aired on the East Coast!

If the 13-day AFTRA strike had not ended on April 10, "Days" would have run out of episodes to air just 36 hours later!

FROM THE VAULT: VARIETY ARTICLE ON "DAYS"...MARCH 6, 1967

AS LONG AS SERIALS IDENTIFY WITH PEOPLE AND THEIR problems they'll be as popular tomorrow as they were 26 years ago and the end is a long way off. Few have a better right to say it than Betty Corday. Her long involvement with the soaps (she detests the word) has, through a tragic circumstance, elevated her to executive producer of one of NBC's strongest dayllghters, "Days Of Our Lives" (last rating 8.1). When her husband, Ted, died last July, she took over the reins and has maintained the serial's strong pull with the hausfrau. With the temporary leave of Gail Patrick Jackson and sometime directorial activity of Ida Lupino, Mrs. Corday remains the lone femme in Hollywood television with the exalted title and working at it five days a week. What little is left of live television in Hollywood, she submits that it's the best training ground extant for all areas of showbusiness. The pay doesn't reach the grandiose figures of primetime, but it's steady for 52 weeks of the year. "Serials haven't changed much over the years," says Mrs. Corday, "because our province remains fixed, that of creating dramas of present-day life that evoke an empathy with the home viewer and mirror her own problems. We don't want to get embroiled in controversial matters so we avoid messages. We try to depict what happens in the typical home with at times certain literary license. NBC has been fair and rarely have our scripts been sent back for rewrite." The working schedule would frighten off most actors. The morning call is for 6:30 and the day ends at 8:00. That's for five days a week to put away five half-hour shows. Not only have there been no complaints but some pretty fair actors in Hollywood have banged at her door. She uses nine regulars, among them Macdonald Carey, Coleen Gray and Terry O'Sullivan, with occasional parts for four or five others. Since Corday Productions was formed, the femme partner, who came out of Benton & Bowles where she was the agency producer on serials, has been associated with only long-runners. Their "As The World Turns" has long been a rating leader but now is in the Procter & Gamble stable. Irna Phillips, who has been writing serials since they came into being, is story editor on "Days", and described by Mrs. Corday as having the mind of a novelist, who can dictate an entire episode without as much as a pause. The Corday operation is linked with both Screen Gems and NBC and now that she is a permanent resident, other serials will be coming along. The talent pool in Hollywood makes casting a delight, what with the steady stream of actors from N.Y. and those "between" pictures and tv assignments eager to pick up experience and the remuneration that goes with it. Daytime serials have spawned many a star for feature pictures and television so they are no longer scorned as a "last resort."

I did not know that Eduardo was with the villains...that was a shocker to me. And Belle going to Hong Kong with Shawn....well, not surprised at all. And Xander getting Nicole and Theresa....I'd say, get them!

Are you talking about the thing in the social media thread? I think we determined that was a sign in sheet for that day. They don't go in every day. None of them do.

That's not the contract blobby. That's just a list of the people working the day that Barbie Blank taped her waitress scenes for the January 30 episode.

Ok, Jason, I am still scared with Dena and Ryan calling them a tent pole. That doesn't sound good.

You'd think maybe a montage since the two supercouples are on dealing with the Orpheus news but that song isn't very montage-y lol

Can't say the whole tent pole thing filled me with any confidence for a real story for them going forward. But I'd think the Stava kid casting call gives them a few more months of work into the future at least.
