Bill Hayes (Doug) is indeed 88 years old (on June 5). Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie) turned 70 on July 11. They have been married since 1974.

The knife (actually it looked like a straight razor) disappeared before the police arrived. My guess is that one of the hospital security guards is also on Stefano’s payroll. There were a few security guards in and out of Rafe’s room immediately after the shooting (one even looked like he could have been the crooked cop’s brother).
Brady was standing on the stairs so that Kristen could not see him directly, but there is a mirror in the foyer that reflected the stairs and Brady’s image. That’s how she knew he was on the stairs. The mirror is to the left of the front door.
I hope I can express myself in a way that does not insult or offend anyone. I was born in 1942, and the TV shows and movies that I saw in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s did not portray African-Americans or Asians in positions of authority. For you younger people reading this, back then they were called "colored people" and "Oriental people". On TV, they portrayed a handyman, a trash collector (garbage man) or a gardener, etc. When the civil rights movement took hold in the 1960s, TV and movies began to expand on the ethnic groups that were given regular employment in the entertainment field. Over the years, people of all races began to be stars of TV shows and movies–not just small, supporting roles. I recall DOOL having white actresses play the part of prosecutors in the past, and I believe that this is just a way to diversify. Also, like it was mentioned before, she could become a love interest for Abe Carver. DOOL was one of the first, if not the first, to have an interracial couple back in the 1960s, I believe.
Our Livonia, Michigan cable company, Bright House Networks (Time Warner) still carries Soap Net. I watched what NBC pre-empted on Friday.
Great Grandma Marlena and Great Grandpa Roman (Will’s maternal grandparents).
Great Grandma Kate Roberts (I bet she won’t let anyone call her that) and Great Grandpa Bill Horton (Will’s paternal grandparents).
As someone else said, Granny Sami and Grandpa Lucas.
Ralph Waite, now 84 years old, played John Walton (the dad) on The Waltons and Father Matt on DOOL.
William Christopher, now 80 years old, played Father Mulcahy on M*A*S*H and Father Tobias on DOOL.
Ralph Waite earned a master’s degree from from Yale University Divinity School and was a Presbyterian minister before deciding on an acting career. A former minister at my church was in the same class at Yale with Ralph Waite.
Kristin and her brother, Peter Blake, were orphaned as children and taken in by Stephano as his wards. Kristin was pregnant by John Black, but miscarried. Stephano found a look-alike (Susan Banks) and hired her to impersonate Kristin (with false teeth placed over her own teeth, she did look like Kristin). Susan was artifically inseminated with Stephano’s sperm. While Susan was groggy during the procedure, Stephano stood beside her, dressed in a white Elvis-style jumpsuit. Susan thought that Elvis was the father of her baby and named him Elvis. Kristin is the older adopted sister of EJ (Elvis, son of Susan and Stephano).
Susan had a sister (Sister Mary Moira), a brother (Thomas) and another sister (Penelope, a movie star, I believe, who didn’t grow up with the other three siblings). Eileen played all five parts, and did a great job.
Monday’s episode (Aug. 27) was especially creepy for me because I know a couple who have a teenage daughter named "Carly" (the name of the 17-yr. old in the story). The father of "real-life Carly" and the father (actor Mark Pellegrino) of "story character Carly" look like they could be brothers. I’m not going to tell them that, though.
I’m in Michigan (EDT Zone) and every night after the Olympics ended at midnight, we had 1/2 hour of local news, and then NBC repeated the Olympics from 12:30am to 4:30am. That’s when I recorded it on my DVR and watched it the next day. I did get to see The Who, who were only on the 12:30am segment.
