Former cast members congratulate "Days" on 12,000 episodes:
Elaine Bromka (Stella Lombard, 1992)
"I adored playing Stella. Dee and I had a blast from beginning to end (and even beyond, since she surprised me with a turkey on my deathbed as a goof -- and then took it to "Bloopers"!)
Fabulous memories of a great character wonderfully written. DOOL has a special place in my heart."
Barry Cutler (Parrot Man, 1995-1996)
Since Parrot Man rhymes
Nearly half of his lines
I'll give no secrets away
But I'm happy to say
To all "break a leg!"
On Days 12,000th seg.
Mark Drexler (Roger Lombard, 1992)
"12,000 shows is an amazing run! It was great to play Roger Lombard and be a part of the "Days" tradition."
Don Frabotta (Dave, 1974-1993, 2000-2004)
"Happy Fantastic 12,000th Anniversary!!!!!! (Where's my piece of cake?)"
Matthew Mahaney (Kurt Schwengel, 1999-2000)
"I, Matt Mahaney, would personally like to congratulate the cast and crew of "Days of Our Lives" for reaching the 12,000 episode milestone!
Kurt Schwengel, however, cannot because he's still stuck in a straight-jacket somewhere in France. Poor Kurt. Seriously, congratulations!"
