There are several actors on that cover who should be back for the 50th anniversary, and at the top of the list are Stephen Nichols, Charles Shaughnessy, Patsy Pease and Peter Reckell, if only for a short time. I know money is tight but they’ve got to let go of some of the newer characters who aren’t working out and use that money to hire back these actors, even if it’s only for a brief arc. A show where Serena, Melanie, Paige and Ben are front burner is a show that will remain fourth out of four soaps in the ratings and that will be inching closer to cancellation.

Thanks for the heads up I will definitely be picking up a copy of SOD Days special issue. As for who should be back for the 50th. every living Horton, Brady, Dimera, Craver and Kikiakis—and flashbacks of those who are now departed. I want them all– LOL

thank you sod for taking days more seriously than the show runners!!! ahh bo/ hope, kayla/ patch, austin/ carrie!!! glory days….
days needs to cut its losses on ben, serena, dr dan, melanie and make budget room for all the characters that long time fans really care about!
carrie, austin, belle, shawn, phillip, frankie, patch, bo of course, billie, kirsten and peter aka the real di meras!!! just a sample of my wish list!!!!

I am trying to understand why would days and Soap digest allow this special anniversary edtion book be release in March and not at the very end of October are the first week of November, I know it is their 50th year being on air but it should have been relase around the time I stated it being release later in the year would have had special meaning to days and it devoted fans more at the time 50th is due. I may be wrong but this may be days last year come shotly after making 50th it is something about how they rush this special edtion to come out unless they will be doing and bigger and better special edition later in the year, I just find this to be suspect of worst things to come of days.

Lexie should come back as a ghost for Abe – Celeste should make it happen with her cards!
Sami, her kids, Carrie & Austin, Belle & Sean, get Mimi out of that coma! HA! Definitely all the living Brady’s as well as Brandon Walker but before all that please kill off the character of Melanie as she is without a doubt the biggest blemish on the history of Days Of Our Lives – even worse than those gemini twins!!!!!

I will buy this issue !

sidebar : stat : SOS : Melanie is ruining Eric Martsolf’ Brady !

oy! WHY? must she constantly tilt her head cutesy and play with her hair…

as if needing acknowledgment that she’s that good in bed… yesterday’ ep

I gagged when she told Brady…. Melanie is never boring ! huh? she’s as bad as Daniel

I stopped watching Days ten years ago. Sorry, none of those ppl on the cover will get me to tune back in. It’s about the writing, and not the character returns for me. The soap needs more compelling storylines. Where is the spectator? Who is in charge of the ISA these days? Where is the next Stefano Dimero? Answer these questions and I will definitely tune back in.

Definitely want to see Stephen Nichols, Wayne Northrop, Patsy Pease along with Charles Shaughnessy, Crystal Chappell, Lisa Rinna, Christy Clark, and Peter Reckell.

Along with the actors, who’ve played Vivian (Louise Sorel), and Lawrence (Michael Sabatino).

Matt Ashford, to finally and permanently unite Jack & Jennifer. Then Stephen Nichols and Peter Reckell. I’d love to see an umbrella story with the classic supercouples–Steve and Bo trying to rescue Jack, or something similar. Sadly, I doubt the show will do this.

Denise Alexander as Susan Martin…and let her be Annes mother…Stephan Schnetzer as Steve Olsen…Tina Andrews as Valerie Grant…Corinne Conley as Phylis Anderson…Patti Weaver as Trish…Gloria Loring as Liz…too many to list…bring back 50 former stars for the shows 50th…

So the thing Days is best known for and is shown on the cover of the anniversary issue is the supercouples…something Corday and crew not only refuse to revisit, but have seemingly gone out of their way to destroy. The male part of all the couples (save John) has all but abandoned their wife. Couples aren’t written for any longer, only short term hookups and tawdry sex. There’s no romance left in Salem.

I hope that Wayne Northrop is featured in this book.

I would like to see Jed Allen, Joe Gallison, John Clarke and Gloria Loring appear on Days of Our Lives far the 50th Anniversary. John Clarke played Mickey Horton. Mickey is dead. But John could return as a different character, just for the anniversary.

Yes, I plan to purchase the Days 50th Anniversary special edition of Soap Opera Digest.

@ Kristina — Wayne Northrop is most definitely featured, I interviewed him for it myself in fact! It was wonderful to hear his stories. — Mara from Soap Digest

CONGRATS!
DOOL fans!
hitting the half century 50 !!

It would be nice for original cast member Maree Cheatham (Marie) to visit!

Would love to see carly and bo

Steve, Shane, Kim and Carrie would also be great

I’d like to see some with the last name of HORTON back on the show. Where’s Mike? Jeremy? Bill? Is Tommy dead? It doesn’t seem that the Hortons ever had boys to carry on the family name; not too many to choose from. And what about David and Scotty, Julie’s son and grandson. Julie’s brother? Maggie’s girls? Heck, I’d love to see Doug and Julie back more often! How about all the old entertainers from DOUG’S PLACE come back for a hospital fund-raiser? Jerrie, Trish, Robert, Liz…I’m sure I’m missing some. I really do hope they get their act together at DAYS in time for the 50th. I started watching soaps because of Alive Horton. My mom watches DAYS and I remember seeing Alice on the TV when I was supposed to be napping. Fond memories.

I’ll be buying this. Would love for Viv, Jack, EJami to return.

Whatever happened to Michael T. Weiss? Shouldn’t ‘The Pretender’ pretend to give a crap about the early DAYS of his career? We need Dr. Mike Horton!

Where in the world is Michael Leon (Pete Jannings)?! Is Pete the father of Melissa’s son, Nathan? Why is Nathan’s last name Horton? We need Pete, Melissa and Nathan!!!

Bring back Michael Leon and Lisa Trusel as Pete and Melissa!! Also, bring back Mark Hapka, who was treated poorly, as Nathon Horton (Jannings?)!

I would love to see Jack, Bo, Sami,. E.J.. Steve, Shane, Kimberly, Chloe, Roman and lesser known Greta. I started watching Days in 1990 (their 25th anniversary year) and hope the celebrations planned are even more spectacular. I have a special nostalgic place in my heart for that whole year on Days- the Cruise of Deception, the 25th anniversary, Jack and Jennifer’s budding romance – and can’t wait to see what they do for the 50th. Can’t believe I’ve been watching for 25 years. Hope to watch 25 more!

Would also love to see Carly and Vivian, Celeste and Ivan too.

Gosh, Carrie and Austin would be great to see also. I just keep remembering more and more characters I’ve loved over the years.

Frankie too!

I went to two stores today… and it’s not out on the newstand yet

WHO? is that couple on the bottom row far left?

Will it be the same size as GH’s 50th anniversary issue? 🙂

I am unable to find the 50 th anniversary issue can I order it directly from you? Thank you in advance for your help

I CAN’T FIND IT IN THE STORE! Can I order this online?

Am I able to order this issue on line. If so please let me know how I may do so.

Will the magazine print more copies because I can’t find one either?
Please let me know what you think.

I can’t find the magazine either. Is it a small magazine like the other SOD mags or is it the bigger dementions like People magazine?

Can I download to my Nook this special 50 year edition?

I also am having a hard time finding the issue can you please tell me where to find it, thank you

I can’t believe the magazine hasn’t said more about Peggy McCay. She has been on Days since 1983 and her acting career goes back to 1949. She is a prime time emmy award winning actress and has had more appearances in tv and movies than any of the other actors. Peggy has dedicated her life to her acting career and once again she has been nominated this year for leading actress on a daytime drama Days of Our Lives. Please take the time and show her the respect she has earned by giving her a good write-up.

I would love to see Liz, and Neil come back ,also, what about Trisha, Scotty, Val and Don Craig

Love “Patch”. Hope these writers do NOT destroy a great character just to prop up a newly hired kid!!!!

I hated that GH wasted Stefan and destroyed him merely to prop up Nikolas (who is still far less interesting)! But JFP was a horror and is now destroyed Y&R for me after she threw away good actors and insisted her pet be a lead despite the blandless

I can’t find the DOOL 50th SOD magazine. Can you tell me where I can buy it? Thank you.

Please bring Matthew Ashford back with James Scott, Peter Rekkyl, Allison Sweeney, Stephen Nicols and keep Molly Burnett and Melissa Reeves I’m probably missing a few of my faves but this would be a Wonderful start Thanks. Oh and bring the previous Chad back and keep Eileen Davidson and I don’t like the new Will he’s a horrible actor.

I Love Melissa Reeves she’s not homophobic

i can not seem to be able to find this special issue please help

Where can I get the 50th anniversary issue, can t. Find it on news stands

Hepburn and Tracy, Bogart and Baccalaureate, Sweeney and Scott; days of our lives had the best and most believable love couple it has been my limited pleasure to observe in a long time. Seldom does a couple pair up and make the love they portray so real and wonderful to watch. To allow them to quit the show and leave the fans who fell in love with both of them is a crime. We loved them, worried about them, and probably for the first time in our lives were able to feel and see what it was like to experience real love. I don’t think anyone who watched and lived them felt that the love shared between them was acted and not being real. The end of this team was a crushing blow to all of us who believed in them and their love. How do you forgive such a painful experience?

my mum and I loved watching days and we still do. I hope Laura Jenifer’s mum comes back to the show. I also loved patrick lockhart and mimi. I also hope alice horton will be on it as well. mike horton be good as well. what about susan the kristen lookalike with edmend crumb her husband. I think that ann must be related to laura in real life. keep up being number 1 congrates mum and I would say.

where can i obtain a copy of the 50 th anniversary edition of days .have been watching since the first day it aired. and would love to have a copy. thank you for any help to get this issue.

I would love to see Kristen come back. Looks like the Dimeras are down to very few family members. Kristen is one of the best written and performed characters (by our dear Eileen Davidson) on DAYS.

Hi I am wondering why everyone is leaving.I am from Montreal. I cannot find the days of our lives 50years Messaging no where please tell me know where to get it .also there was another one that was herald day of our lives 50years cannot fine that either I like to know if Bo is coming back.I loved to see Bo and hope back together again Iike to see Tony come back. I heard Sammy is coming back is that truth.I loved rj. And sammy are they married in real life? .I know julie and Doug are.another deidre ann hall that Sammy mom in real life.

My favorite couple of all time is patch and Kayla.. So I hope they keep steve and no on the show. I was thinking maybe a kid of steve shows up that looks just like him ,patch and all and it be a g
irl.. And they try to find out who her mom is and things like that .

I loved Paige. Loved jj and paige. Would not have killed her off but i agree that serena melanie ben eve clyde and aiden can all go. Dont like any of them. As far as who to bring back i would love to see bo and jack back for good. Bringing back austin and carrie and pete and melissa would also work for me.

Everyone needs a copy. I want Jack to surprise Jennifer. I want to stop seeing rumors of Days being taken off the air. I belong to Days Groups and I know too many love it to lose it!
