My Middle Name Is Earl… May 17, 2007 11:32 PM ET by Stephen Nichols I recently taped an episode of Days of our Lives which included (in a scene with Mary Beth Evans, Kayla) one of my all-time favorite lines of dialogue. I won’t give it away but it happens at the end of the [...]

BIRTHDAY PLOG OR 20,440 DAYS Feb 27, 2007 11:58 PM ET by Stephen Nichols  I know, the Patch Blog is way overdue. Sorry, I’ve been busier than an actor on a soap opera. Hey, I am one! Yes, I had this week off from the show, but there is always something to be done around [...]

Sept 12, 2006 4:18 PM HELLO FROM CINCY That’s right folks, by the time you read this I will be in Cincinnati, Ohio, my birthplace. I promised myself I would visit the real Eddie’s Roadhouse and look for Bobo. They tell me he is not the gentle giant portrayed on Days of our Lives. Apparently, [...]
