DOUG'S PLACE NAME CHANGE CUT FROM TODAY'S EPISODE...

Posted Image

Although "Days" fans saw Doug & Julie inside the former Club TBD today, the portion of the scene where they first show up and Julie shows Doug the sign was cut from today's episode. As of today, Club TBD has been renamed Doug's Place! Doug's Place, a staple on "Days" in the 1970's and 1980's, was last officially seen on June 14, 1984. The club was renamed Blondie's in the next episode.

Doug's Place, which made its return to Salem today after a 33-year absence, is seen in this photo from 1979, with Robert Clary (Robert) and Don Frabotta (Dave).

ROB WILSON ADDED TO CREDITS TODAY

Robert Scott Wilson - Ben Weston was added to the guest credits today, after Jordi Vilasuso's name.

JAN TRISKA

IN LOVING MEMORY

NOVEMBER 4, 1936-SEPTEMBER 25, 2017

(Nicolai, 1983-1984)


Posted Image

Jan Triska, who appeared as Nicolai (Roman's friend and former KGB double agent who helped hide Roman and Anna) in 6 episodes of "Days of Our Lives" from December 1983-April 1984, passed away on September 25 in Prague, Czech Republic, shortly after falling from a bridge.

Jan Triska has died in his home country more than a day after falling from Prague's iconic Charles Bridge. The actor, known for movies like "Ronan" and "Lunacy," was 80. Triska moved to the U.S. after being banned by the Czechoslovak Communist regime.

Prague theater director Jan Hrusinsky confirmed the death Monday. Triska died in Prague's military hospital overnight due to injuries from Saturday's fall, the circumstances of which are unclear.

Triska emigrated in 1977 after signing a human rights manifesto inspired by his close friend, dissident playwright Vaclav Havel.

He settled in Los Angeles and appeared in dozens of movies, including "Ragtime" and "The People vs. Larry Flynt" by his fellow Czech Milos Forman.

After the anti-Communist 1989 Velvet Revolution led by Havel, Triska regularly returned home to play in movies and theaters, including a leading role in "The Elementary School," nominated for an Academy Award.

Seeing those episodes numbers stacked up, you can see how hard it is to get to 4000. Drake is around the corner but after that there's a huge gap to Peter and Ali. And then more big gaps as the numbers decrease.

If Vivian buries Adrienne and Bonnie alive, LS could easily pass Judi Evans. You never know, Vivian could choose to get rid of them both to be sure she gets rid of her rightful enemy! lol

Thanks Jason. Was this a planned shift? Did we have an extra breakdown writer? For the most part Ron has left in place the writing team that was there when he started. I think that was smart considering many of them know the history and characters better than he does. Wonder if that will change any now that GH got a new head writer and some shifts usually occur. Assumed that some might come over from his prior GH writing team to DAYS.

There were 6, so now there's 5. We knew the change was coming since there was a script posted at some point without Tyler's name on it.
