Frances Reid (Alice Horton)
(1914 – 2010)

In this week’s Soap Opera Digest the soap magazine pays tribute to a Days Legend, Ms. Frances Reid who played Alice Horton since day one. Ms. Reid passed away last month and at that time SOD spoke with many of her Days family and they recalled fond memories of her which they continuously updated their site with throughout the week.

Well in the magazine we have a true tribute and Shelley is apart of it. You’ll be able to read her words and others. We really can’t wait to see th tribute Days has planned for this amazing woman.

Shelley does NOT have a Twitter acct. but many of her co-stars do. They upload pictures here and there and sometimes she’s in them. I’ve started to upload a few that have been found on Molly’s (Melanie) & Mark’s (Nathan) Twitter pages.

The Twitter icon on the layout is only there because soon I will set up an account for SSO updates and that’ll be a easy way to link it. Well here’s some of the images.

I have a few more to update with from their fun looking SuperBowl party. The Days cast knows how to party.

CONGRATULATIONS SHELLEY! YAY its feels so great to see her name listed for a Pre-Nomination in the Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series category. We are so happy for her!

Shelley was nominated alongside her Days friend and castmate Molly Burett (Melanie).

Let’s hope this turns into an actual nomination in a few months. So keep your fingers crossed.

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) today announced the Drama Performer Pre-Nominations for the 37th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy® Awards.

A preliminary drama performer ballot containing each of the six performer categories was assigned to all registered, eligible peer voters from NATAS and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. This ballot contained the full list of all entrants submitted from each show and each voter was entitled to select as many candidates as they believed worthy of Emmy® consideration. The candidates below who received the highest number of votes for each show in each category now advance to the final at-home screening round. This round, due to be conducted in March and April, 2010, will determine both nominees and winners.

The 37th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy® Awards will be produced by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in late June, 2010.

You can view the full list here. There’s a lot of Days love and that makes us smile.

What’s that? A new HOT guy is headed to Salem and he has a date with who? FINALLY! Our girl is getting some action. Yes, it was a little boring with it being Days Of Melanie’s Lives, yup that’s what it was turning into and Steph was there to help prop her up. Let’s hope this injection of new hunk is a great fit for Ms. Stephanie Johnson.

We Love Soaps recently interviewed up and coming actor Erik David, star of the action-packed film Heist, who had started his career working on ALL MY CHILDREN and YOUNG & THE RESTLESS.

Not more than a few days after our interview ran, he came to We Love Soaps with news that DAYS OF OUR LIVES has hired him in the role of “Aaron.”

I am on a date with Stephanie…Nathan is a little jealous in the scene so he bullies me out of the room. As of right now it is only one episode, but they’re hoping that Aaron may find his way into the storyline mix.

Congratulations, Erik! We will be watching, and hoping that Aaron has many “days” ahead!

Ms. Shelley’s team did in fact pull out an amazing win tonight at Super Bowl XLIV.  So congrats indeed to the New Orleans Saints for a well deserved win and I know the city/state is celebrating right now!

Why its Stephanie’s Aunt Adrienne of course!  That’s right, Judi Evans (ex-Bonnie, DAYS) will reprise her role as Adrienne Johnson Kiriakis.  We last saw her in town somewhere around 2008 when upon leaving she left the Cheating Hart bar to Steph’s then beau, Max Brady.

It really was only a matter of time that she be asked to come back since they’ve had her television husband Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) back on-screen.  So I am really happy for more family members from the Johnson clan.  if only we could get her mom and dad back on then that’d be icing on the cake.

On the front page of Soap Opera Digest/Weekly online they have the low-down on just who Shelley will be rooting for!

She’s a Hometown girl indeed.

Note: To save room and not compromise the layout I had to compress the image down.  If you’re having trouble viewing it then click here Shelley comes in at No. 3.

Shelley was in Los Angeles Friday night in support of her great friend and former Miss California USA 2009 (as well as Miss Teen USA 2003; she crowned Shelley in 2004) Ms. Tami Farrell as she made a milkshake for, Millions Of Milkshakes.  It looks really good and I want to try it – they should bring her creation to Coldstone Creamery that’s the only thing we have close to MoM.

See Shelley gives it the Thumbs Up approval. Also, you can watch a video of Tami, Shelley and a couple of other celebs who came out to support her as well. Here’s the video, Shelley comes in close to the end.

She named it Tami’s Earthquake Shake with the proceeds going towards helping Haiti. How wonderful is that? So if you’re in the Los Angeles area stop by Millions of Milkshakes and try Ms. Tami’s delicious creation.

Soap Opera Digest has revealed on their twitter page @SoapDigest that Darin Brooks (ex-Max, DAYS ) is coming back for a few episodes!  I’m guessing it’ll have something to do with Melanie and this now preposterous story that basically dumps everything Stephanie/Max did last summer but whatever.

So anyway let’s rejoice YAY! I seriously want to see Max interact with Stephanie because I absolutely love them together on-screen.  Darin & Shelley just had that instant magic and I was watching some old clips from last year and I’m also capping from two years ago so a lot of things are in store.

P.S. Shelley’s feature in SOD is 3-pages!

I am cracking up at this so much. I just dont get it at all!
