Days of Our Lives - 1981 Hope's Departure

[@vistatiger7493]

Days was so good and all about family during this time. The background music was beautiful and made the show even better.

[@Silvio2676]

That is a beautiful and touching scene. It makes me think of how well written the soap operas were back then. It is not just the dialogue, but the actors´ performances were terrific.

[@cindydeming8083]

I started watching Days in 1971 when I was 13. I haven't really watched faithfully since 1994. I loved when you played Hope, Tammy, you did a wonderful job! I miss the "old" Days, the writing, the characters, the music, the charisma, the acting. There was always something going on with at least one or two of the characters lives, that really made you want to tune in every day and watch. The characters didn't have to look perfect either, no designer clothes, perfect hair, perfect teeth, botoxed faces....There was just plain good ol fashioned acting, on a level that we regular folks could relate to.... I am so glad you had a chance to be a part the an era when Days was a prime show... Thank you for sharing these clips with us!

[@cindydeming8083]

mark40511 Thanks! Lately I have been watching these old Days videos here on youtube and I just love them...The years have really made me appreciate them more than ever! I am becoming addicted all over again! (my husband thinks I am nuts!)

[@TammyTaylorTV]

A little late to reply (3 years!) but thank you so much for the nice comments!

[@haroldalexis4200]

Hi Tammy I've been a Days of Our Lives fan for as long as I remember. I never forgot you as Hope, such memories from an amazing historical serial/ comedy. This is a beautiful scene.. 😊

[@TammyTaylorTV]

Aww, thanks Harold! Looking at it now, it seems a bit melodramatic (LOL), but thank you! I adored working with Susan Seaforth Hayes! She was always incredible nice to me and tons o' fun!

[@6828Lu]

What a sweet clip! I remember when Hope left the show - I was devastated!

[@Rosannasfriend]

Hard to believe anyone but Kristian played Hope, but here is proof!

[@MrCraigblaze]

I think about 4 actress have played Hope over the year's.. XD

[@wendylawson3857]

Kristian Alfonso has been in a lot more than just Days of Our Lives she's been on a lot of shows that were popular back in the 70s and 80s.

[@BobbyMushinsky]

Tammy did a great job

[@djdarq6311]

Not hard to believe at all. Almost everyone has been recast lol

[@bethfoley84]

Hi Tammy! I remember watching Days back then. Your Hope was a year or two older than me, so I always enjoyed seeing someone around my age on my mother’s favorite soap. Thanks for sharing this memory!

[@streeterlynn]

I miss you in Days .

[@thomaspryor6491]

Interesting to see this hope

[@sweetspirit3887]

Wow this is good acting!! I am impressed!

[@steffismami]

I remember when you played Hope. Would love to see more clips if you have them. Great memories!

[@jeanietheresa1847]

Wow, I was just watching Days and I realized that the current actress playing Hopes daughter, Ciara Brady, looks a lot like this Hope.

[@haroldalexis4200]

It's amazing, I was saying the same thing Tammy Taylor Hope looks a lot like Victoria Konefal Ciara!

[@aaronwilliamsvocalgold6416]

Hello, Tammy! I remembered your face from a cult classic called Malibu High. Your face is so beautiful and instantly recognizable. Have a blessed one! How cool that you portrayed one of daytime's best heroines before Kristian Alfonzo!

[@TammyTaylorTV]

Here's a great website for which I recently did an interview, with everything you ever wanted to know about DAYS! Check the description of my clip for the site :)

[@michaelblackston740]

Great acting

[@1013pka]

Hope and Julie, both beautiful. This scene made me realize I don’t know the story about who Julie’s father was.

[@marcelparker6755]

Julie's dad, Ben, was as superficial as Addie was back then (if not more)... until Addie met Doug, and her personality did a whole 180. He was a rich banker who hardly had any time for his kids (Julie and Steve).

[@skipeastport5529]

What’s interesting is that Tammy Taylor really looks like Charla Doherty who was the very first Julie. Completely believable that Tammy’s Hope was also Addie’s daughter. Days was so much better at this point than when it turned into an adventure story with super couples and supervillains. This is the Days I watched with my mom. The characters were real and developed. This is what soaps are supposed to be. Not serial killers and international crime syndicates.

[@TammyTaylorTV]

Back "then", I was told the same, that I resembled Charla Doherty! I didn't know her, although I did know Natasha Ryan who played Hope as a child. Wonderful little actress! Wish I could find her now. Thanks for your comments - I, too, much preferred the old days when the stories were about real-life people and situations that viewers could relate to! Well... except that part about my cousin having a split personality (Angelique) and my crush, Jake, turning out to be the Salem Strangler! But other than that... LOL :)

[@valeriearseneault4266]

I still love the super couple super spy stories lol

[@teridamron1322]

She was a great actress Wished she stayed on as Hope

[@johnlewis195]

Now Doug has died...But I read Kristen Alfonso will return for Doug's Funeral and Grieve with Julie so it should be some nice episodes

[@andiewyatt7902]

Did anyone notice Julie got lipstick on her teeth towards the end of this clip LOL 😄 I love Hope she's one of the reasons I've watched Days all these years. I was 2 when this aired and didn't start watching until the mid '80s.

[@niteshift2715]

I had to look it up, I didn't know anyone else ever did play Hope. She/You look alot like Ciara. I never thought anyone could ever play Bo either, but there was one for awhile that fit in great. So it's all about finding the right fit.

[@der22672]

Who else thinks that the recast of Ciara who started this week, December 2017, looks like Tammy Taylor. I think it's uncanny.

[@markparent416]

so so true! That's all I kept thinking!

[@tonyfelder1206]

There was another Hope? Whaaaat!!!.

[@TammyTaylorTV]

There were actually TWO previous Hopes! Before me, there was Natasha Ryan who played Hope as a young child to about age 8 and then around a year after her departure from DOOL, producers decided to bring Hope back having aged significantly! I played Hope as a 15-16 year old before they brought Kristian Alfonso on who has played her ever since. Good times! Thanks for watching!

[@tonyfelder1206]

Tammy Taylor Thanks for the info. I started watching in the summer of '85. Checked out your KZbin channel. I've seen you on a few tv shows back then.

[@streeterlynn]

I read she coming back to play Hope Days .

[@TammyTaylorTV]

Pray tell, where did you read this?? It's not true, but boy would that be fun! :)

[@phyllishammond9886]

Sisters, stepmother .

[@ZphyArtist]

In the year of '81, I was only 3...didn't start watching Days with my mother until I was probably 6 or 7(whilst I was playing with my action figures(wow, has it really been 30 years,I've been watching)). By then Ms Alphonse was already portraying Hope. As I watched this clip, I was wondering whom Julie was talking with. Read the comments and came to my conclusion, beautifully portrayed I might add as well. Like I said earlier, I've been watching for 30years and something that I've been curious about for the past few years...will they ever release this long lived show on DVD? I think that would be just fantastic. Be well.

Any clips of Eugene Bradford and Trista's wedding when they were married by Tilson on the island?

[@jeanietheresa1847]

She’s so beautiful. She resembles the actress currently playing Hopes daughter, Ciara Brady.

[@TammyTaylorTV]

Wow, so sweet of you, thanks! So many people have said I resemble her! Have to say I don't watch anymore (except 5 min here and there), but I looked her up on IMDb and I see the similarity! Check out my KZbin channel here for some of my more recent work! Thanks again 🙂

I see a resemblance to Jennifer Aniston

would you return as Hope now that Kristian Alfonso has left?

[@missxshow2390]

I am an actress who would love to be cast on Days. Yes, I remember this time period.

Tammy was also on the young and the restless too.. XD

[@TammyTaylorTV]

Indeed she was! ;-)

[@randyrackley4340]

Tammy, I thought you were awesome as Hope! I was very disappointed when you departed the show. Days was so much better then! It must have been thrilling to work with Susan and Bill. What was acting along side Brenda Benet like? Days had such great actors and actresses during this time period. It would be neat If you came back as Hope or another character!

[@TammyTaylorTV]

Aww, thanks Randy! It was absolute heaven working with Bill and Susan (about whom I was warned was a "b**ch on wheels") - We ended up getting along splendidly! Being an old song and dance man, Bill and I loved to share a time step offstage between takes! And Brenda - Oh Brenda. She was the epitome of grace. She had the most tender, loving way about her - just the way she would put her hand on my shoulder, or stroke my hair, on and off camera, put me in her trance and as an actress, she really connected with her fellow performers and brought out the best in us. Her death was a tragedy, and I'll never forget her. I'd love to come back to Days! Still the best daytime drama EVER!

[@marcelparker6755]

@@TammyTaylorTV Today marks 40 years since Brenda passed and the moment I saw her work, I became a fan instantly. I was sad when I heard about her death and all the tragedy that she endured. I truly hope that she's at peace now.

[@artax84z]

Well Kristian Alfonso has left the Part, who know maybe bringing back one of the previous actress would work better than a recast.

[@TammyTaylorTV]

LOL - Well producers would have to be OK with Hope having shrunk 8" and turned salt & pepper overnight! But hey - anything's possible on soaps! 😊

Did child actor Natasha Ryan play Hope as a little girl?

[@bellakeshialynn]

Yes

[@NYCJoeBlack]

This Hope looks a little like Sami Brady around the eyes. Just a little.

[@schewitt1977]

What happened did Hope not like Julie?

[@jaredjlinden]

She didn’t like that Julie was trying to mother her. Which was a little silly because Julie raised her and was really the only mother Hope ever knew, since Hope’s mother died when she was a baby. But the show was searching to give Doug and Julie something to do after their second wedding, so they came up with a conflict with Hope.

[@MINTZ56]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO PLAYED HOPE AS A BABY????

[@andrewzambella5023]

Natshia Ryan

[@skipeastport5529]

@@andrewzambella5023 Nope. Natasha didn’t play Hope as a baby. She was 5 when she started on Days. There two actresses before her. Kristina Osterhout played Hope Jan-Aug 1974. Kimberly Joy Weber was baby Hope Oct 1974 to April 1975. The character SORASed from 1 to 5 years when Natasha started in the summer of 1975.

[@PeggyKeeler-tu8wb]

That has to be Jennifer Aniston. I really think so.

[@TammyTaylorTV]

Um... no... it's me, Tammy Taylor! I played Hope from 1980 to 1981 when Hope was sent back to boarding school because the Salem Strangler was running rampant. Then, what do you know, the guy Hope had just started dating turned out to be none other than Jake Kosichek, the SALEM STRANGLER!! A year later (maybe less), Hope returned in the person of Kristian Alfonso! Ah, Soap life!
