What's your take on reality shows, besides there being way too
many? You know...I wrote out a long explanation of what I
thought on this whole subject....read it...and decided not to send it
because it really comes down to this...our world and reality is
messed up enough and I can get enough of that through reading the
paper and watching the news...I like to watch t.v. And films to take
me away from reality and into a fictitious world. Why do you think
they have us read fictional books and stories in school...to expand
our knowledge and creativity. You don't really get that by watching
Jerry Springer or Elimidate. (04)

organized, trying new places and foods. She dislikes liver, kidney,

Jed was once a New York City cab driver. He has three sons, Mitch,
Dean and Rick. His wife, Toby, died in 2001 of an
aneurysm.
(Billie Reed #2)
Krista was in a number of erotic films before she was on Days. They
were the "Emanuelle" films that have an NC-17 rating (I'm not sure
which ones.) Krista's favorite pig out foods are "really fattening
stuff like cheese and crackers, Italian bread with olive oil and
basil, and chocolate." Her most prized posession is her engagement
ring, which is a two carat round diamond surrounded by eight rubies,
designed by her husband. She would love to meet Sharon Stone. When
she was 14, she ran away from home and spent 2 years living with
friends. She describes herself as honest, loyal and spontaneous.
Krista takes both her pager and a pack of Big Red gum everywhere she
goes. The pager allows everyone to contact her (her husband sends her
love messages on it) and the Big Red is for those times when she has
"tuna on rye with lots of onions." Krista guest starred in an episode
of "Married... With Children" as Crystal Clark, a classmate of Bud's
(David Faustino), posing for a calendar he was creating. At the end
of the show she announced that she is really a man! She also appeared
in the movie, Liar,
Liar, with Jim Carrey, playing the
well-endowed woman in the elevator. She appeared in Raven
in 1997 with Matt Battaglia.
John Amour
(Michael Horton)
John appeared on Mary Tyler Moore on 2/12/72 in episode #60 "It Was
Fascination, I Know." He played a 13 year old.
(Valerie Grant)
Tina appeared on an episode of the Brady Bunch in 1971. She played
Marcia's friend Doreen, in the episode where Marcia meets Davey Jones
and asks him to be her prom date.
(Victor Kiriakis)
John's daughter is Friends star, Jennifer Aniston. (Picture on right
is John and Jennifer in 1976 when Jennifer was 6 years old.) Look at
her closely, and you'll see his eyes and nose. John is taller than
you might think--in person he's 6'3", not the 7" he seems to be on
your TV screen. John is originally from Canea, Greece. He went to
college at Pennsylvania State University, where he studied theater
and California State University, where he studied biology. He even
moved to Greece with his wife and young children to study medicine.
Unfortunately, due to political turmoil, all of the universities
(including medical schools) were closed. After waiting for one year
for the schools to open, he gave up and decided it was time to come
back to LA and be an actor. He joined Days in the summer of 1985.
Before turning to acting, John was a lieutenant commander with the
U.S. Navy Intelligence. John auditioned for the role of Doug Williams
in the late 1970s. The part as we all know, went to Bill Hayes
instead. John was also on the first cover of Soap Opera Digest in
November 1975, when he starred on the soap Love of Life. (You can see
this cover on my
Days-related pics page.
Matthew
Ashford(Jack Deveraux #3)
Matt is the fifth of eight kids. He practices Buddhism. Matt relaxes
by reading. He likes all kinds of books. His favorite room in his
house is the kitchen, because it's the heart of the home and is where
the food is. He graduated from North Carolina School of the Arts with
a major in Drama. Matt is left-handed. In 1989, Matt got the chance
to play roadie, when he aided musician Herbie Hancock on his tour.
Matt's wife, Christina Saffran was a singer with the band. Matt and
Christina met in Hawaii when they danced in a show together. They
were married in 1987. They have two children, Grace and Emma. Grace
is a budding actress, writer, director, and has even written a part
for herself to join her father on Days. She often appears on stage
with her mom. While Christina performs as Kathy in Singin in the
Rain, Grace performs as Young Cosmo. She also appeared opposite her
mother in Damn Yankees as one of the kids. Emma has suffered from
Retinoblastoma, cancer of the retina, since she was an infant.
Matthew and Christina, along with actors Hunter and Michael Tylo,
have formed Retinoblastoma
International, a foundation to help in
research and education about the disease. Emma recently had her left
eye removed because of the disease.
(Chelsea, who works for Marlena at her
penthouse)
Lena is usually seen in the shows where Belle and Brady appear, but
the role of Chelsea is not her first principal role on Days. She was
also seen as Dr. Alvarez, a fertility doctor and various other small
roles. Her background is with the SCTV comedy troupe. She also
appeared for many years on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson as a
member of the Mighty Carson Art Players, doing sketch comedy. She's
done lots of guest starring work on episodic television and some
feature work. One of her talents is cartoon voices. She keeps the
kids on the set in stitches doing various voices. Brandon and Eric
Billings (Brady) enjoy her dog voice especially.
(J.L. King)
Before joining Days, Matt starred in Army of One with Kristian
Alfonso. That was three years ago. He also starred in
Raven,
where he played Krista Allen's fiance. It's definitely a small world.
The actor was a two time All-American and former Cleveland Browns
linebacker. Matt's birth name is Matteo Battaglia. His favorite
cartoon character is Tigger. He can type close to 55-60 words per
minute. He's half Italian and half German/Dutch. Matt was one of 6
finalists who screen-tested with Melissa Reeves in 1994 for the role
of Jack. As we know, the role went to Mark Valley, but the Days
producers obviously remembered him when he returned as J.L. King.
Shortly before he left Days, he played a fireman Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow)
was dating on Friends.
Jaime
Lyn Bauer(Laura Horton)
Jaime posed for Playboy in a 1982 pictoral on the women of daytime
television. Jaime's first airdate on Days was Nov. 12, 1993. She is
married to songwriter Jeremy Swan, with whom she has a daughter and
two sons. She speaks out for epilepsy, since one of her sons suffers
from the illness. She guest starred on The Love Boat in the 1980s.

Chris Kostichek. Jaime made her "Days of Our Lives" debut as the
emotionally distraught psychiatrist, Dr. Laura Spencer Horton on
October 26, 1993. She left the show in 1999. Since 1994 she is
working as a celebrity spokesperson for the Epilepsy Foundation. As
the mother of a child with epilepsy, she's experienced the ignorance
and stigma associated with the disorder. She is working to not only
raise money for research, but to educate the public. She is doing so
till today. Born in Phoenix, Arizona on March 9th,1949 , Bauer comes
from a family of four children. She moved to Chicago and began
modeling when she was in her late teens. She later moved to Los
Angeles, where she landed many television roles. She made her network

Richard went to school at University of Southern California, where he
studied drama.
(Brady Black)
On January 10th, 1997, the twins turned five years old, celebrating
with a memorable trip to Disneyland. Eric and Brandon also like the
fact that at the grown-up age of five they get to stay up late and
don't have to take naps. Eric and Brandon have an older brother,
David, 11. When not acting, the boys like to play on their trampoline
and with their dog, Zack, and a cat named Kitty. They love to go
camping and fishing, and play all sports. Eric and Brandon's favorite
snack is pickles and beef jerky. Eric and Brandon took over the role
of Brady on Days in September 1994. The boys' first role was on The
Young and Restless. They appeared in one scene. For additional pics
of Eric
and Brandon, take a look at their
Children of Salem Page.
(Bart, Stefano's henchman)
Days fans may recognize him as Stefano's bumbling sidekick Bart, but
jazz fans are coming to know Steve Blackwood as a talented vocal
artist. Steve recently released a CD titled I Don't Worry Bout A
Thing, featuring his unique reworkings of standards like "Black
Coffee," "All of Me," "My Baby Just Cares for Me" and "Stompin at the
Savoy." The collection has been getting great reviews, and is such a
quick seller that it's becoming hard to find! To order a copy, send a
check for $12.99 to Newborn Jazz, 4114 Warner Blvd, Unit C, Burbank
CA 91505. Steve is happy to autograph the CD (at no additional cost),
if you so wish. Steve has also recorded a VH1 special soundtrack,
Frank Sinatra: They Were Very Good Years, which has been airing on
VH1 recently. Steve sings the title song, "Frank's Tune". It's
available through the production company Just Jazz, at 10520 Magnolia
Blvd., North Hollywood CA 91601.
(Celeste)
When Tanya was cast on Days, the producers asked her to create an
accent for Celeste. She doesn't classify her accent as European or
Cajun, as some might think, but as Cartoon. "I was watching
television and Rocky and Bullwinkle came on," she says. "There was
Boris and Natasha." And the rest is history. Tanya first appeared on
Days on April 11, 1994. In 1988, she appeared in a TV-movie called
"Tricks of the Trade" starring Cindy Williams (from Laverne and
Shirley) and Markie Post (Night Court). Tanya played a prostitute who
was a friend of Markie Post's. Tanya admits that the fad she's
recently tried out is purple, blue, yellow, and green nail polish.
Her favorite actors are Orson Wells, Sir Laurence Oliver and Bette
Davis. Her favorite movie is Days of Wine and Roses while her
favorite TV show is I Love Lucy. She loves Thai and Italian food as
well as fruit, but dislikes oatmeal. If she had one wish, "There
would be no more killing." It bothers her to see such disrespect
given to the elderly in this country. Her most treasured possession
is her family photos. Her greatest love is "GOD, GOD, and GOD!!" She
prays first thing in the morning and just before going to bed. Her
epitaph is: "life is good and always right, so go for it!"
(Donna Craig)
Tracey's great uncle is Jule Styne, the composer of Funny Girl. She
started on Days at age 14. It was her first soap role. She was born
in Munich, Germany and spent the first 10 years of her life living in
England. As a youngster, Tracey had such a huge crush on David
Cassidy that she wangled a visit to the set of The Partridge Family
and wound up having lunch with America's then #1 heartthrob.
Twenty-five years later, Bregman re-encountered Cassidy again, when
-- talk about coincidences -- he bought her parents'
house.
(Stella Lombard)

played Spa Guy #1 in the movie Captain America. Jason was born in
Colorado Springs, Colorado. He tested for the role of Austin at the
same time as Patrick Muldoon. The Days casting agent loved Jason, but

audition. Jason is nearsighted and wears glasses off the set.

undercover police detective who was part of a stakeout at the girls'
house. His partner was played by George Clooney.
(Andrew Donovan #1)
Bobby was born on April 2, 1986 and began his acting career three
weeks later. He got into show biz because a talent scout was visiting
a friend (who was a co-worker of Bobby's grandma) and saw some
pictures of Bobby. She called his mom and he started working soon
after. At his audition for Days, Bobby and his mom waited for two
hours, then the agent took one glance at Bobby and told his mom,
"We'll call you." That evening, the call came to start work on DAYS
in three days. Bobby's other professional experience includes: Cable
TV's Faerie Tale Theatre in the "Ponce De Leon" episode with Michael
York. Bobby played Ponce's grandson. The following info is from an
interview with his mom in 1987: Bobby's favorite food is Pizza and
his least favorite are vegetables. His favorite song is "Do the Hokey
Pokey." "Bobby loves everyone at Days. They're really great and give
him crackers and cookies (and sometimes even Twinkies). Stephen
Nichols always has a lollipop waiting for Bobby when he comes off the
set." The best unplanned moment during taping occurred in a scene
outside the Brady Fish Market when Victor told Shawn and Caroline
that their daughter, Kimberly, used to be a prostitute. Shawn and
Caroline both said, "What?" Then, Andrew looked up at Kimberly, his
mom, and said, "What?" Everyone was quite surprised. For additional
pics of Robert,
take a look at his Children of Salem Page.

Macdonald
Carey(Tom Horton)
Days was the first soap to sign a movie star to their show when they
snagged Mac in 1965. He had starred opposite Marilyn Monroe in
"Let's
make it legal." It was filmed in 1951,
and also starred Claudette Colbert, Robert Wagner, Zachary Scott, and
Barbara Bates. He was a contract player for Paramount, appearing in
such films as The
Great Gatsby and John Paul Jones. He
was one of the first daytime actors to win an Emmy when the Academy
of TV Arts and Sciences established a category for daytime
programming.
(Will Reed)
Taylor and Shawn were born in Riverside, California, and lived in
Lake Elsinore when they began playing the part of Will at six weeks
of age. They have brown hair and blue eyes and are identical twins.
They have since moved to the Los Angeles area in order to be closer
to the set. They also appeared in a network promo. Their mother is a
kindergarten teacher. When the boys see themselves on TV, they say
"baby" or "brother," but they seem unable to differentiate which of
them is on the screen. When they were infants, their mom painted
their toenails different colors so she could tell them apart. Now
Taylor is a little bigger than Shawn. The twins are very outgoing and
even rowdy in their dressing room, but get very serious when they
come onstage, as though they understand that they are at work. For
additional pics of Shawn
and Taylor, take a look at their
Children of Salem Page.

Christie first began on Days in 1986. She left the show in 1991 and
returned on Dec. 18, 1992. She attended Yorba Linda Middle School for
Junior High and was the homecoming queen in high school. Christie, a
snowboarding enthusiast, went looking for fashionable clothes to
sport on the slopes and found a serious lack of outfits for women. So
she created a line called Monkeywench, "one of the first companies to
design snowboarding clothes just for women," says Clark. The company
has also expanded, now doing more streetwear--shorts, sundresses,
t-shirts, hiphugger skirts. The one thing she says she couldn't live
without is her boyfriend, Kent. She describes her first day on the
set as "scary--I was in my PJ's." She would most like to visit
Ireland. She thinks it's the most romantic place in the world.
Christie appeared on General Hospital in the short term role of Cindy
in 1992, during the time she was away from Days. She appeared in a TV
commercial for SheRa, Princess of Power in 1983. She appeared as
Angela Walsh in Nightmare on Elmstreet 2, Freddy's Return. For
additional pics of Christie,
