To the person who asked if Hope and Kristen ever interacted on the show, here are some clips of them together from the Jungle storyline in September of 1997.

I had to change my board theme so I could understand this "like/dislike" reference. (My typical Winter theme doesn't show likes & dislikes). I see now.
I really like your post Matt, but I don't have like/dislike buttons no matter what theme I use. Can't see most avatars including my own either. Don't know why. I have a question for you - when did you start watching Days? I have watched since late 1965/early 1966 and as I recall, it wasn't very campy back then.
I've watched for as long as I can remember. Probably my *earliest* memory is of Julie & Steven in her shop with Karl & Sharon Duval (don't even ask my why I remember that). The earliest I can remember what was going on and actually paying attention was around 1981. I remember Doug & Julie's wedding at Doug's Place by the Lake and how much my grandmother was looking forward to it. It didn't really start to get into it until around the Salem Strangler and then I was REALLY into it with Bo/Hope and Pete/Melissa (along with Alex/Marie/Neil/Liz who I flipping LOVED). I remember Mickey being presumed dead in South America (but was really being held hostage by Stefano) and Maggie moving on with Don Craig.
My earliest true memory was when Tom Horton was on trial for malpractice (he didn't see a patient because he was trying to save Marie's life when she tried suicide) - don't remember exactly when that was though. (Hey, I'm old and my memory sucks!! LOL) I missed about 10 years from around 1975-1985 so maybe that was when some of the camp started. Some I like and some I don't. I do like a little reality too. I hope it's true about Eileen as she would be an asset if (we can only hope) she is written well and has good story.

I'm mad that everyone (Michael Fairman, now Jamey Giddens) keeps posting the news about Greg Vaughan and Eileen Davidson but they are all citing Nelson for Davidson and SOD for Greg Vaughan. Ugh. This show needs to just come out and say it. Unless Eileen Davidson can't start taping for a while. Then I don't want them to confirm it because we won't see her until November.

SOD hasn't even confirmed Greg Vaughan yet. They posted the same thing about him that they posted about Eileen ("Sources report so-and-so is going to the show") but there has been no official confirmation about either of them. I'm just glad Eileen isn't the only one the show isn't commenting on. I would be really worried if that was the case.

You're remembering one of the first major DAYS stories.

Out of curiosity, why did you stop watching?

Got divorced, had 3 young children to support and had to go to work. AND no VCR at the time!! When I came back to Days, it was the beginning of Steve and Kayla and I never left again. More than anything, Days needs better writing, couples we want to root for - please pick a couple and stick with them. Make us really want to root for them not this back and forth between three different guys, no matter who the couple is. Steve and Kayla weren't always together, there was Jack for instance, but you knew they would be eventually and that is why it worked. Even RoJohn and Kristen worked at one time too, but you always knew that in the end John and Marlena were end game.

Sometimes this message board reminds me of my nieces and nephews on XMAS Eve. Why the hurry? Nothing is going to change on our screens for weeks/months.

It seems pretty clear that the show (the producers? the network?) have decided to chill with their PR machine for a bit, which is entirely understandable given how the past 5 years of returns have fallen flat. They announced the John return, and it fizzled once he finally returned to Salem. IT was old news. They announced the Carly and Viv returns months in advance, and they too fizzled. They announced the relaunch weeks in advance, even titillating viewers for weeks with 10-second clips that actually made no sense to the storyline and only confused matters. And that failed to move the (public) ratings.

I suspect they are opting for the element of surprise. Think about all the great moments in DOOL history and how often they were unspoiled to the masses. From Bo storming in to save Hope from Larry Welch while Howie Hofstedder was under the veil, from Melissa dissing Jack at the altar to the delight of the Hortons, from Stefano being revealed as alive a dozen times after death, from Marlena's eyes revealing the possession, from Peter Reckell resuming his role from RKK on the Fancy Face. The most recent successful "surprise" brought us Anna as the Sydnapper.

Can they keep things under wrap forever? Of course not. Will this tactic work? Probably not. It's worth a try though, especially since the conventional wisdom is that the summer is a time of sporadic viewing, outdoor diversions, and low ratings. Plus, the Olympics are four weeks away and the show will be off-air for two weeks.

The network has a lot of fixing to do. The Today Show just fired its co-host. Primetime remains anemic. DOOL is likely to get near-zero promotion, so why should they ramp up the PR now, only to have a two-week death valley. Once we get to mid-August, the new regime will start airing shows, and the promotion can start.

November sweeps begin Thursday October 25. That's when they need to pour it on.

That said, I still suspect there's a chance that we will be treated to a surprise very quickly. It wouldn't take much to have ED film a handful of scenes that could be dropped into episodes. She can be shown tending to Stefano For all we know, she came in last week, shot two dozen 30-second scenes that can debut on the eve of the Olympics and run through August, allowing her full debut to hit the airwaves just as the fall season kicks off.

I don't expect Days to make any official statements about any hirings or firings so long as NBC is calling the shots now. If you look at at Ann Curry's recent firing at the Today Show - they didn't even make a public statement about her departure or the hiring of her replacement, Savannah Guthrie. Seems like something's definitely going on with NBC and their PR department.

I love Eileen and think she's a great actress. I miss the Days of Kristen/Susan. If Susan returns, I wonder if Edmund will return too? I thought they were really cute together.
