Jason47's Weekly Thread: Week of 6/16-6/22; 6/19 UPDATE: 2004 Episode Rankings corrections (Brady/Nicole each lose an episode)

FINAL TALLIES IN FOR 2004 EPISODE RANKINGS...FIVE CORRECTIONS MADE...

2004 EPISODES RANKINGS: CORRECTIONS:
Tanya Boyd (Celeste)...ADD 1
Kyle Lowder (Brady)....MINUS 1
Justin Melvey (Colin)...ADD 1
Arianne Zucker (Nicole)...MINUS 1
UNKNOWN (Jan)...ADD 1

Notes:
Kyle Lowder (Brady) and Arianne Zucker (Nicole) were incorrectly credited for 8/31/04. That episode was comprised of many repeat (aka rollback) scenes from the 8/30/04 episode. None of the scenes that Brady & Nicole appeared in on 8/31/04 were new material, so they each lose an episode.

In the 4/6/04 episode, Heather Lauren Olson (Jan) had taped scenes done in the Nurses' Station and Detective Area. However, she failed to show up to work and the show decided to recast. An unknown actress (wearing a nurses' mask) filled-in for the scenes done in the Hospital Chapel in this episode, before Heather Lindell was hired. So, this unknown actress gets added to the list, even though it doesn't change the number of episodes the character of Jan appeared in.

DONALD LI TO GUEST AS SHINN...

Posted Image

Donald Li, per his IMDB resume, will be appearing as Shinn. Per the casting call in February, Shinn is a stuffy businessman, the pretentious chairman of the board of a very prominent company, who is old school and can be chauvinistic and pompous. EJ has been heard speaking to Shinn on the phone several times in the past year. With the casting call in February, look for Shinn to appear on the show within the next month or so.

Principal Guest Stars: Week of Monday 6/16/14-Friday 6/20/14

John Aniston - Victor Kiriakis
Bryan Dattilo - Lucas Horton
Allison Paige - Bev Walters
Riley Bodenstab - Cole
Alex Shipp - Marybeth
Julian Barnes - Harold
Ned Schmidtke - Bishop White
Charles Howerton - Mr. Howell
Terry James - Stunt Coordinator

Ned Schmidtke (Bishop White) makes his first appearance of 2014...Julian Barnes (Harold, the DiMera butler) is credited (and speaking five or more lines in an episode) for the first time since 2011...Charles Howerton (Mr. Howell, the President of the Domino's club) returns later this week.

RUMORS CONTINUE TO PERSIST ABOUT MOLLY BURNETT...

While I don't generally comment on rumors, this is a question I've been asked many times this year...Is Molly Burnett returning to "Days" as Melanie Jonas? Her photo was seen on the Friday, June 13 episode, Daytime Confidential reported recently that she was in talks to return, the June 23 edition of Soap Opera Digest reported that insiders say the buzz is true, and Jen Lilley (Theresa) just started following Burnett on Twitter in the past week. Will Melanie be back later this year? All signs seem to be pointing to yes...

2003 EPISODE RANKINGS: FINAL TALLY

Just finished up 2003, and found just a few corrections, as well as a few new additions to the rankings. 2004 is up next!

2003 EPISODE RANKINGS: CORRECTIONS:
Daphne Bloomer (Eugenia)...ADD 1
Jacee Jule (Patty)....ADD 1

2003 EPISODE RANKINGS: NEW ADDITIONS:
Esther Chae (Erin Wu, DiMera maid)...ADD 8
John Dickson (David, Chloe's piano player)...ADD 5
Sandra McCoy (Joelle, Basic Black secretary)...ADD 4
**Kellie Nicholson (Kelly, Marlena's secretary)...ADD 1

**Nicholson also gets 4 episodes added to 2001 and 1 episode added to 2002.

On Friday the 13th (of June),
Daniel phoned Melanie to tell her that Gabi was in jail for murdering Nick. He said he thought she'd want to know because Gabi and Melanie were friends. We didn't see or hear Melanie, but she apparently said something on the phone to him, and Daniel replied something about ... oh you want to come and visit? now after all this time?

Later, Rafe came to Daniel's apt to tell him about the whole Gabi/Melanie/Andrew/stalker thing because Daniel hadn't known about Gabi hiring Andrew. Daniel mentioned to Rafe an "aha" that this must be why Melanie has stayed away so long, and finally wants to come visit now.

Friday the 13th indeed.

Not to put words in your mouth, but all I'm thinking in my head right now is, "If Jason posts about it, it must be true." (Like those "if it's in the paper, it must be true!" catchphrases, but less sarcastic.)

Are fans about to get a redux of the "eggbaby" period when Daniel/Melanie/Maggie chewed up all the scenery?
That ain't good at all. :drunk:

The MAIN reason I don't want Mel back is because she's one of those "everyone else gets thrown under the bus to prop" characters. And there's no way she's gonna be anti-any of her dad's relationships, and if she is, it'll be cause she wants Fetch to reunite.
Now, if Ciara & Theresa were to share scenes where they throw shade at Princess McTeethy, I could be open to a one month return. lol.

It's not even so much annoying characters, it is the horrible balance on this show. They showcase the same 2-4 characters 5 days a week with very minimal movement in storyline. I'd love if they brought back some other characters while keeping what they have to balance out the stories, and not just have the focus on two couples all the time.

The moment she is brought back is when I stop watching. Her character represents a REAL bad time for this show, circia 2008 to 2012. The show was on such a role in 2013 and this year has had some moments but nothing in comparison.

Did they fire Lorraine Brodderick or something?

I liked Melanie and would like to see her come back. It would be nice if they kept her away from Maggie though. The character of Maggie has become extremely annoying. I would like it to turn out not to be true that Daniel is the egg baby, thus severing the Grandma tie with Melanie.

Thanks!

That reminds me of the Yes, Virginia quote..."If you see it in the Sun, it must be so." :)

Just put us out of our misery and announce it if you know for sure/when you find out for sure. This would be a cruel game to play because it would not have a happy outcome. After DC reported it, it was as good a done. I want to know if its time to put my head in the oven yet or not.

There's no way she isn't returning and this thread solidifes that for me. I love Jason and his hints but it's only a matter of time, perhaps days, before it's officially announced. My guess is she's been taping more than 2 months already. One thing Days Of Our Lives get kudos for is how they've been very secretive with spoilers and comings/goings. All I ask is the show not revolve around her. Soaps are supposed to be an ensemble, not a 5 day a week focus on one person yet sadly that's happened more often than not with Daniel. Now with a Melanie return, there's no hope in sight. Melanie bored me more than anything...but if she's a supporting actress maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Ill still never get over the behind the scenes shit fest that her and Suzanne did just to have their characters related. That should never happen. I've been with this show since 1990 thru thick and oh so very thin and nothing has made me turn away even when I wanted to. But if this Daniel worship continues, and it absolutely will with the return of Melanie, I don't know if ill stay with it. If I do, I'll save time cuz the majority of the week will be 89% Jonas so ill just fast forward all of that. And it's shitty cuz I want to watch this show. I love this show. But it's NOT my show when it's not the ensemble it was created to be. And they can throw any character I love in Daniels direction...it won't matter. Don't tell me who to like. Show me. All they've done is make me loathe him and now it's making me loathe the entire production in the process. This is coming from a viewer who would take up for this show in it's worst days. It's a shame.

Yes, they do a great job, especially with taping 5 months ahead of air date, so I second your "kudos" on that!! :)

We have a major character debuting next week, and it's been kept under wraps for almost five months. I still can't believe it's not out yet!

A major character? Like a long-term contract character?

No, we've already discussed it in another thread. It's the man from Jordan & Ben's past, from the Ozarks.

It really IS impressive and I like a more secretive Days. Sadly, there's a big chunk of it that's annoying me and a great number of other people. I've always wondered your opinions of current stories, what your favorite Days era was and what you love, like, dislike, etc. But I totally understand why you stay away from those discussions!! Like I said, Ill always watch...haven't come this far to let one character kill my vibe. But even Jason has to know he's waaaaaay overexposed and ridic. If not, I apologize ;). Thanks Jason....you literally give better and more fun dish than any of the mags and I enjoy your posts!!
