Get it rolling where? Into a volcano? I agree that DAYS is boring, but you'll never hear me advocating hiring MMT for any HW'ing job. Nope, won't do it.

Oh, please. Even MacDonald Carey said GV made GG and EM redundant from the moment he was hired. ;)

I'm guessing Jennifer's uncle was Mickey and Maggie is her aunt by marriage. Who are Jennifer's parents?

Also, how did Mickey die and was JI playing him at the time or did they bring back the original actor (I'm forgetting his name, I know he retired some years back). Also, I seem to remember reading something about Kevin Dobson playing Mickey?

Bill and Laura Horton.

Mickey died of a heart attack (?) while he was upstairs at his and Maggie's house, getting ready to take her on a much-needed cruise. Maggie found the body, but was too stunned initially to call 9-1-1 right away. It's only when Hope came over because of some drama she was in the middle of (forget which) that Maggie let it slip in mid-conversation.

To answer the other question, though: no, JI had returned to GH (and Edward) long before then; and John Clarke, who originated the role, never returned either.

He did, for awhile. He wasn't very successful in the role, however, prompting DAYS to make the decision to kill off Mickey.

Thanks so much Khan! I'm new to DOOL. A lot of these names and faces I have known for years from flipping through soap magazines but never really knew how they all connected.

Laura was Susan Flannery/Jaime Lyn Bauer, right? Who most famously played Bill?

It's too bad Kevin Dobson has had like zero luck in daytime.

Yep. Susan Flannery was the second (and most famous/popular) actor to portray Laura (after Floy Dean, I think?). Two other actresses, Susan Oliver and Rosemary Forsyth, succeeded Flannery before DAYS wrote the character out. When Laura was released 13 years later from the sanitarium, it was with JLB in the role.

Of course, I consider Edward Mallory to be the most famous for portraying Bill Horton, because he originated the role, as well as the fact that he was there for Bill's most important stories (i.e., the Laura/Bill/Mickey triangle and Mike's paternity drama). Others, however, probably feel Christopher Stone, who portrayed Bill during the mid- and late-1980's, was equally good at portraying him.

Laura was originally played by Floy Dean. When Bill Bell took over in 66 Susan Flannery was cast and played Laura thru 75.Susan Oliver was a short lived replacement and then Rosemary Forsyth took over until the character was dropped in 1980. Jaime took over when the character returned in the 90's.

The late Ed Mallory was Bill for 14 years. Paul Carr was the original Bill. When Bill came back in the 80's Christopher Stone was cast,but Mallory did return for some guest stints.

For Alice Horton's funeral. John Martin was cast as bill.
