When's the last time Noelle Curtis or Sarah Horton were on the show? Does the show even remember they exist?

Coming up on 27 years for Noel (Samantha Barrows) 7/26/89 and 25 years for Sarah (Alli Brown) 6/13/91.

They're still on my mind, as if they'd never left. I guess I live in soapfan time.

I LOVE Rebecca Herbst. She is being written terribly over at GH. Not sure if this has been mentioned already but if she can't be Sarah Horton, why not bring her back as as Noelle Curtis, daughter of Liz and Neil? Maybe we could get pop up appearances by Gloria Loring as Liz. So much history with current vets on canvas! #WishfulThinking
Yes! I said this yesterday on Twitter - I've wanted Noelle on the canvas for SO long. She's historically connected to Salem, daughter of a VERY popular couple and yet not related to anyone. It's weird that they haven't had her pop up.
While I think it would be great to bring back some of these long-missed families, Days doesn't seem to have a good recent track record bringing on recasts of characters whose parent or parents aren't regulars.

I mean, look at Theresa. She's the daughter of a super couple with plenty of other ties to the canvas, and yet I think she's largely floundered without Shane and Kim. For whatever reason, I think Days struggles to write close family relationships outside of parent-child, which is such a shame.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Why Melissa specifically? I've found David Cherrill scripts usually stick out as being the most bland, basic scripts. There's hardly any flair to what he churns out and if the word "bitch" is used its most likely from his script. Jeannie Marie Ford while better than David will present conversations that feel disjointed oftentimes. I've found myself frustrated with her dialogue. She'll have a character saying things in a way I don't feel anyone would say at the time. Despite Melissa Salmons favoritism toward all things ejami, (mute point now) I've found her scripts to come across pretty intelligent. So, I'm curious why you'd want her sacked.
I find her scripts overrated, back in 2013 there was this big hype that she was the best writer to ever hit Days. Aside from that, she annoys me. There have been time periods when she has acted like the show was called "EJami of our Lives". She hangs out with people who hate the show.

As for David Cherrill, he has really stepped up his game after Josh and Dena replaced TomSell.

My favorites are the Cullitons.
I completely agree about the Cullitons! The shows I have enjoyed the most have been written by them.

I don't know about Salmons, but I tend to agree she is overrated, but I'll admit some of my dislike is along the same lines, playing favorites to Ejami. I just don't like that.

Love this. A vintage 1930 Chicago photo on the set. Further reinforcing the idea that Salem is "near Chicago".

I had just went to Google Image search, and the top result said "Best guess for this image: vintage Chicago", but you found the exact photo. Great job, thepadange!!

I had only tried it once before, but when I saw that picture posted above, thought I'd give it another shot.

I think Theresa's relationships with Eric & Caroline were good, but of course we never see them together. :shame:

WOW. Was not expecting this news at. all.

EDIT: I still don't know how to feel about this, though. It sounds like NBC wants them to switch so that they can have more influence on the writing. I don't like the sound of that.

Also, if the current schedule is saving them money, how in the world would Days be able to go back to a normal schedule if the budget gets cut again? I don't know. It almost sounds like NBC is pushing for this to make it harder for Days to stay afloat. No wonder Sony is holding out.

I was just coming to post this and see you beat me to it. :) What does this mean for actors? Would they have a few months off work to "catch" up to production schedule?

Ha.
NBC is not stupid. LOL

Now they just have to make a 5-month hiatus and then do like GH lately - 3 weeks taping, 2 weeks hiatus.
Not sure what would be the unions' position though.

It would be better. And someone involved in the show may even be looking into it. It wouldn't be NBC.
