Reply to comment by glisteningdinkus in Jennifer Aniston and her cool Papa ~ Early ‘70’s by fingerfunk

I remember him from my early 80s childhood when my mom watched Days. And then I remember him again when I spent a few summers in the late 90s enjoying trashy morning soaps for fun. It was wild that damn near every main character was still there, a few played by other actors, and some actors even coming back to their original roles. It was a sad little hit to my nostalgia when him and Stefano DiMeara's actor died in real life.

And now I'm over 40 with my own kids, and still see familiar faces on soap magazines in the grocery aisles. I wonder if Marlena ever got possessed by the devil again, lol.

What is really crazy is that Days of Our Lives is one of the longest-run tv-shows ever. It premiered in 1965 and so far has had over 14000 episodes.

I watched during those times too. Most guys got into it too because all the mom', sisters and gf/wives watched. It was easy to pick up after a year of no watching so, they stick I guess! Monday and Friday were the days to not miss soap opera's. Nothing happened in between lol
