Robert Kelker-Kelly

(Bo Brady #2)
Robert has 5 tattoes, including a hawk, a dragon, an owl and a Chinese symbol. He says that Bo's tattoo was an "ugly knife. I would never put that ugly tattoo on my body." Kelly left Days with few friends. He and Crystal Chappell did not remain friends, nor did he and Lisa Rinna. The only people from Days that he says he would talk to are some of the crew members and John Aniston. He is 6 feet tall and has no chest hair, unlike his Days predecessor. He likes a double cappuccino first thing in the morning, sitting on a porch watching the sun come up.

Paige and Ryanne Kettner

(Abigail Deveraux)
These twins believe Mark Valley (Jack) to be Batman. The first time they met him was at Christmas two years ago. He was dressed in a Santa suit. When they saw him they asked their mother why Batman was wearing a Santa suit. "It started when they saw me wearing these leather boots and black rubber jacket one day when it was raining. It looks like something Batman would wear. They even asked me if I was Batman, but I told them I could not talk about it," says Valley. Mark adds that he gets such a kick out of his fictitious alter ego that he's "even taken measures to exploit it. I got a key chain with Catwoman hanging on the end of it. When the girls saw that, it really got them going." What clinched it, however, was a photo of Mark with the Batmobile. "I was doing a public appearance at this car show, and it was there - the car with the orange stripe on it from the original Batman series." he notes. "I got a picture taken in it, gave it to the girls, and signed it 'Love, Mark'. After that they were absolutely convinced it was true." In late 1994 or early 1995 at age 2 1/2, Ryanne and Paige pulled up roots from their hometown of Virginia Beach and headed for Southern California (they now live in San Fernando Valley). The blonde-haired, blue eyed pair held the recurring role of Erin, David and Kelly's young half-sister, on "Beverly Hills 90210" for two seasons. Their first big screen roles were in the Spielberg feature "
How to Make an American Quilt-" (1995) as Little Evie. They've also had featured roles as Connie & Rebecca Porter in the ABC movie-of-the week "A Case for Life." In between their busy schedules, the girls make time for commercial auditions, birthday parties and good old-fashion play. They love golf; a friend made them their own club. They also love soccer, swimming and Beanie Babies. And of course, they love picking on Austin Peck and Braeden Matthews on the set of DOOL. Paige and Ryanne are tutored off-screen by a set of identical twins, Noreen and Kathleen Barrington. Paige is interested in doing additional modeling. In 1997, she did a two-day shoot in a Beverly Hills park for Fuji film products. Paige appeared in the in-carton brochure for a new Fuji film.

Before he was Days' Stefano, JOSEPH MASCOLO hung with another type of bad, in Shaft's Big Score. Joe is extremely nearsighted, but doesn't where contacts on the show, making it difficult to see much of what's going on. He is good friends with Charles Nelson Reilly, who's from Connecticut, just like Joe. He is an accomplished clarinetist who played with the Metropolitan Opera Company Orchestra in New York for several years. He enjoys gardening, riding horses, and playing tennis for charity fund raisers. A fun Friday night for Joe would include.......Good food, good conversation and good wine.

Despite the fact that he has "thousands of them", Joe is always happy to purchase - or receive as a gift - books and CDs. "I actually go to the local bookstore and record store and register for what I'd like to add to my collection," says Joe, whose musical tastes lean toward classical and opera, while he enjoys reading everything from biographies to mysteries. Joe has one room at home that houses his stacks of books and racks of CDs. "I've always had an extensive record collection. Now I'm replacing the whole thing with CDs, plus getting new stuff. There are a couple of Italian pop singers that I love - Milva and Mina. I try to get every CD that they make. They sing these great romantic songs that move me to tears sometimes. I really like to listen to their music late at night, light candles and sit there. It's like it feeds me." Joe says he couldn't imagine his life without music. "You know how people ask, 'What would you grab if your house was sliding down a hill?' I'd grab my stereo and speakers. I love music. I even listen to CDs in my car. When I go on a trip, I program the whole thing. It just makes everything so much greater." Some of Joe's favorite Days scenes are: Tony's death, Kristen's Death, and Maison Blance (including where he calls Marlena a bitch). In 1989, Joe appeared on General Hospital as Nicholas "Domino" VanBuren.

Peggy McCay

(Caroline Brady)
If Peggy had spent one more day on the unemployment line, she might never have made it to the screen. Her parents had given her a time limit. If she didn't succeed soon, she'd have to give up her dream. Luckily, she landed a few roles just in time. Peggy appeared in the Sally Field/James Garner film, Murphy's Romance. She was born in New York, NY. She started acting off Broadway while still in her early teens. After receiving a degree from Columbia University, she toured in a production of Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke. She later won a role in the TV sitcom, Room for One More. She acted in stage and screen versions of Uncle Vanya and appeared in the TV adaptation of The Cherry Orchard. In 1980, Peggy played a conservative parent whose daughter married a blind musician in "Love at First Sight," a TV pilot that was never picked up. In 1986, she said her favorite music group was Huey Lewis and the News. She won an Emmy nomination for Hawaiian Eye. She actually has been nominated for an Emmy five times. In 1987 she became the first performer ever to receive both a daytime and primetime Emmy nomination in the same year. Although the Emmy was aloof in '87, Ms. McCay did bring home the Emmy in 1991. It was for her portrayal of a homeless woman in The Trials of Rose O'Neill. In 1993 she was nominated not only for an Emmy but also the Canadian Gemini Award, an honor rarely given to an American. One of her most prized award is the coveted OBIE, for her portrayal of Sonya in Uncle Vanya. Peggy appeared in the movie "Daddy's Girl", playing a grandmother that is killed by her deranged 11-year-old granddaughter. In 1997, she began a recurring role on NBC's "The Profiler." On the show, she plays a psychology professor, Melinda Gillespie, who is a mother figure and mentor to the main character, Samantha Waters. Peggy was Andy Griffith's first on-screen kiss partner on "The Andy Griffith Show"! In 1967, Peggy appeared on GH as Iris Fairchild. Peggy appeared on St. Elsewhere in 1983 (ep. "Lust Et Veritas"--11/2/83, "Qui Transtulit Sustinet"--11/16/83). She was also on the series premiere of Night Court on January 4, 1984 (ep. "All You Need is Love"). Of all of her work, she's most proud of the mini-series Eleanor and Franklin in which she played the role of Grace Tulley. Peggy also appeared as Avra, head of the Udara Warriors on Alien Nation.
Peggy starred in the Chautauqua Theatre Alliance's world premiere production of "Imitating Sam", a hilarious new comedy written by Ray Proscia and directed by Richard Hochberg. The play ran in January and February 2002. She is very active in a number of animal protection groups, such as Actors and Others for animals. She spends much of her free time helping several organizations; PETA, the Fund for Animals, Last Chance for Animals, and Defenders of Animals just to name a few. When asked which animal issue she felt most strongly about, Ms. McCay quickly pointed out that much of the cruelty is from medical research. She says, "Much of this is done cruelly and this should stop." When asked her how her fans could help? She hopes that her fans will help her, to increase animal cruelty awareness. She says, "Find local organization to donate to, or national groups." Ms. McCay also wants to encourage us to help in letter writing campaigns to research institutes, and requesting for the ethical treatment of animals. In case you are wondering Ms. McCay is the proud owner of three dogs; Bijou a Chihuahua mix, J.R. a black Terrier, and Raffles an Akita mix. When asked Ms. McCay what she does when she is not working or saving animals. She replied, "I like to work for my unions; AFTRA and SAG. I work on my house and exercise through yoga, dance and swimming." "I also take acting classes, and make appearances on behalf of animals and the homeless." This is one very busy person.
