This is back when DAYS was sooooo damn good!!! Cates killed Abe's brother so he deserved much worse!! I miss 80's days.

These were the DAYS! Great adventure, ACTING, romance, and action! These are classic episodes that kept you on the edge of your seat! The mess that is DAYS right now and that is on Days right now can;t and will never compare or be as great as it was THEN! I miss this type of writing and really writing characters and storylines. Bring back this style of storytelling!

I didn’t care about the “super couples” - I think that was just a girl thing - but I think everything else about the show from 1981-85 was great. I got into the show because my mother and especially my maternal grandmother watched it religiously. I really believe that it could had a significant male audience had it aired at a time when more men were home. “The Edge of Night” is probably the only daytime soap opera ever to have a large male audience, in part because it aired at 4 PM and more men were exposed to it. I believe the same could have happened with “Days of Our Lives.”

Days in the 80s was pure gold! I loved how they often used great music to enhance already great episodes. I'm wondering if you have another series of scenes that featured a Phil Collins song. It involved Shane, Kimberly and Victor in Florida. Victor was going to kill Shane and Kimberly had only one way of distracting Victor so that Shane would survive. I'll have to take a look through your channel and see if you have it .

Wow! I think this is one of the most intense scenes of days of our lives. They don’t have to say anything. And I love this song by Phil Collins this song fits perfectly with the scene. I loved days of our lives in the 80s. I’m 40 but I’ve been watching days since 1987 w/my mom & still a huge fan TODAY!!! and I have to mention that look between Abe & Marlena...wow!!!! Best scene! 👍

With the current days of our lives episodes about drugs coming into Salem 2023 - 2024 & Abe still his memory isn’t back, he was mayor & now Paulina is, this would be the perfect time for Abe to get his memory back & flash back to this scene & remember everything. Wouldn’t that be like “wow” this scene is so intense & iconic & we still have Marlena. Have people forgotten when Days was the best which was 70s - early 2000s????

He definitely did, but man, that speech he gave to Abe right before getting shot is very powerful. I love it when we learn the torment behind the bad guys; why they became bad guys, and that they are often very miserable people. Clearly from that speech, he realized what he’d become, and decided he’d rather die than accept responsibility for his failures.

Loved these years with Shane and Abe and when John was Roman..loved the storylines. John just fit as Roman and a better one. I was a kid and watched this show with my mom when I would be sick from school or in the summer. John to me was such a great man and father figure to me as a kid and I still like him.

The storyline was that Richard Cates (Rod Arrants) took over as chief of police in May of 1985, six months after Roman’s supposed death. If I remember correctly, Cates was said to be an old friend of Roman’s. At first Cates seemed like a good guy, and there was even a little sympathy for him as he was divorced and his ex-wife, who was mentioned but never seen, denied him access to their son, Kevin (Eric Schiff). Cates and Marlena quickly became romantically involved, even though Roman’s “death” was only about seven or eight months earlier. That Summer, however, a lot of drug dealing started happening in Salem, and some cops were revealed to be involved in the , including McBride (Terrence O. Goodman). It was eventually revealed that Cates was behind the drug dealing, and he ended up killing several people, or having them killed, including McBride, when Cates feared they would implicate him. My memory of this next part is hazy, but somehow Bo and Hope got into a car accident during their pursuit of Cates. But I remember clearly in the aftermath that Hope stumbled into a monastery where she was given protection. There, in one of my favorite subplots ever on the show, built a close friendship with a monk named Brother Francis) a former professional football player who had retired from playing and become a monk shortly after he and his girlfriend were in a car accident that killed her. The first of two weakness I remember from the story line is that in the aftermath of the accident, Cates took Bo to some kind of institution where he had no access to a lawyer or any outside communication. However, while being attended to by a nurse, he asked her to give a letter to Alice, explaining the situation. The nurse did so. Around the same time, Kevin saw Bo’s and Hope’s wrecked car in the garage of his father’s house. Kevin did not recognize it and, mistakenly thought his father had bought it, planning to fix it up and give it to his son. Seeing Hope’s name on the registration, but apparently not knowing who she was, Kevin jokingly thought it would take a lot of hope to fix the car. Shortly afterward, he innocently told the whole story to Marlena, who was suddenly disturbed upon hearing that Hope was the name on the registration, as Bo and Hope had been missing for a few weeks. The new information learned by Alice and Marlena led to Abe being contacted, I don’t remember the exact details. But Cates, correctly believing that Abe was about to enter Cates’ office and arrest him, pretending to by on the phone with someone saying that Hope had been found. Abe believed it and listened to the locations where she supposedly was. I don’t remember whose house it was, but Cates went there and attached a gun to the door so it would fire when the door was opened. I doubt that would’ve worked in real life, but Abe’s younger brother, Theo, who was also a cop, opened the door and was shot and killed. Cates fled and somehow and ended up in the same monastery as Hope, where he disguised himself as a priest. I don’t remember what happened next, but he ended up back at the house, where he and Abe met face to face. An angry Abe asked Cates why. He gave a very long, sad speech about the hardships in his life, and said he couldn’t get by on a cop’s salary, and therefore the lure of easy money of drug dealing so luring to him. Then, apparently deciding he’d rather die than go to jail and face his son - who Cates did sincerely seem to love - he ran, and was shot and killed by Abe. Keep in mind, I’m trying to remember all this from 35 years ago, so anyone with any additions/corrections, please post them here!

One other addition, shortly after everything wound down, Brother Francis visited Hope, saying he’d left the monastery as being around her made him realize he wasn’t ready to commit to a life of celibacy.

What kind of song was it? Anyway, I don’t remember that scene, but Marty Davich did so many great songs for the show. He had a song for every mood, and the music was such a great enhancement and to so many scenes. My favorite use of music on the show - in West Virginia, when Marlena opened the envelope containing John’s pre-surgery picture and realized he was Roman, who she thought was dead. The music was a beautiful piano piece, which was featured regularly on the show for several years, but this time, combined with Diedre Hall’s amazing performance, it was an extraordinarily powerful scene. Diedre actually acted like she just found out her husband was alive, and the music fit perfectly.
