CHRISTMAS IS COMING! Jason47’s "Days of Christmas" Retrospective will be unveiled on Thursday, December 1.

Also included will be a complete recap of the 1971 "Days" Christmas episodes, in which the Horton ornaments were first introduced; clips of every "Days" Christmas since 1983; and the exclusive sneak peek of this year’s Christmas Eve episode.

MONTHLY LEADER LOWS IN NOVEMBER: Since April 2003, this past month is only the second time (along with September 2007) that the monthly episode leader has so few episodes as the leader (14 episodes). The last time "Days" had a monthly leader with less episodes (13 episodes) was March 2003. This excludes August 2004 since "Days" only aired 11 episodes due to two weeks of Summer Olympics preemptions.

JAMES SCOTT REACHES # 1000 AND SETS NEW "DAYS" RECORD: James Scott (EJ) appeared in his 1,000th episode of "Days" on November 15, 2011, the 39th actor in "Days" history to reach that mark. In doing so, Scott became the quickest actor to appear in 1,000 episodes (only 1,392 episodes aired since his debut in May 2006). The previous records were held by Macdonald Carey (Tom Horton), who appeared in 1,000 of his first 1,433 episodes and Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady Hernandez), who appeared in 1,000 of her first 1,422 episodes.
