Worked for Mike Horton! He was in his 30s for like three decades.

 

Oh really  

Yeah, he was first played by Wesley Eure in the '70s (I was born then but have read the history) and even married his first wife in that decade, who died of cancer.

 

Then Eure left and Mike took a breather - and returned in the form of Michael T. Weiss (best known now from The Pretender) and had a story with being involved in an interfaith romance with a fellow doctor named Robin, who was Jewish. (They had a son together, Jeremy.) This was in the '80s.

 

Then Weiss left for that prime time career and Mike was again off canvas for a time and, when he returned once more in the mid '90s, he was played by Roarke Critchlow and young enough to now be a peer with - and involved with - Carrie Brady. Who was a teen to Weiss' Mike in the '80s.

 

So...yeah.

I guess it sometimes makes sense if they SORAS characters too soon and later regret it. That's why SORAS is generally a bad thing I guess.

Paul Coufos was the Mike between Eure and Weiss. He presented as older than Eure.

Eure was dropped because he was gay.

Most US daytime soap opera episodes broadcast before 1978 have been lost. The status of episodes, however, varies widely from show to show:  A few scattered episodes, mostly black and white kinescopes, of these series exist from the 1950s, 1960s, and early to mid-1970s

Thanks Have there ever been repeat runs of Days on any stations, starting from the beginning?

No American soaps have never done that. Unlike British soaps like Crossroads and Coronation Street which have aired reruns over the years. I've heard that Days, GH and The Doctors have all their episodes.

Oh., I'm surprised they've never aired re-runs!

I forgot all about the now defunct basic cable channel Soapnet.  Which aired same day episodes of AMC, OLTL, GH and Days. It also aired reruns of an AW. Plus once in a bluemoon they would air classic reruns. I can't believe i forgot about Soapnet Sorry.

That's ok, did they air some 60s Days episodes on Soapnet?

No they didn't. They aired some from the 1980's . Please excuse my bad memory . It's very early in the morning. Also Retro TV has been airing The Doctors reruns for a couple of years now.

Cool thanks  

 

Still trying to work out some of the family relationships on Days. So Brady Black is the son of Isabella Toscano who is the daughter of Victor Kiriakis. Sonny is the son of Justin Kiriakis who is Victor's nephew. Who are Justin's parents? I can't find out on Wikipedia.

 

Kayla is Roman's sister and therefore aunt to Sami, Eric & Carrie, and great aunt to Will. 

 

John and Marlena are grandparents to Claire (though we never see them with her) as she is Belle's daughter.

 

Oh and Brady and Paul are Claire's uncles. Though they never interact. Sonny and Brady are basically second cousins.

 

Jennifer is the daughter of Bill Horton who is Addie's brother so Julie and Hope are Jennifer's cousins. So JJ and Abi are second cousins once removed to Eli(?), and they are also second cousins to Ciara.

 

Tripp is related to no-one except his father Steve.

 

Difficult to grasp all those family connections

Justin's parents died in a car accident offscreen. When Justin was a small child. Vic raised his nephew. The Horton family tree is very complex. Plus on top of that over the last 30 yrs all the core families have intermarriage. For example Will is both a Horton and a Brady.

They aired a few '60s episodes very early in the show's run on Soapnet.
