Ending DAYS OUTTAKES blog

I'm finding the upkeep of both OUTTAKES and the DAYS OUTTAKES blogs to be a little confusing and silly. Often, I'm torn between posting on one blog or the other, posting on both, etc. It is just not practical. From now on, all articles posted will be on the OUTTAKES blog which I invite all interested to subscribe to. I'm always on the lookout for interesting news stories about present and past DAYS cast members...so anything I find along those lines will be on the OutTakes Facebook page (Search for "OutTakesInterviews" on Facebook).

Elinor Donahue on Y&R

For those of you who watched DAYS in the early 1980s, you may remember "Delia Abernathy" aka "Nurse Hunnicut" who often did all sorts of dastardly deeds for Stefano Dimera. Among many crimes, she helped with keeping Tony and Anna locked away in Stefano's dungeon and tried to kill Hope a few times. The actress, Elinor Donahue, was on The Young and The Restless last week as "Judge Anderson" who married Billy and Victoria. I thought she looked familiar!
