I'm sure more people don't know him than do. But Jennifer's dad was the cornerstone of "Days of Our Lives" for many, many years.

 
My mother-in-law is still a devoted watcher - that was one way to get a 70-plus woman to figure out Peacock - and up until a year ago my wife still watched Days as a guilty pleasure. That said, Aniston was always fantastic at delivering a one-liner even when he was reduced to being seated in scenes. He definitely had major chops.
 
I spent 20 years watching "As The World Turns" religiously. I spent half those years also watching "General Hospital," and the other half watching "Days of Our Lives."

Victor was the second most-hated villain in afternoon TV behind ATWT's James Stenback (Anthony Herrera), who was quite simply the devil's spawn.
 
I watched “Days” for one summer in 1995 at 11 years old and stopped. Knowing the characters helped when I got to college and still knew every storyline when we all watched it in the commons of my dorm. Stefano was a rock star to us.

My last year of college, I had a couple of hours to kill after classes. No cable, so the choices were religion, shopping, PBS (usually kids stuff) or Days. Krista Allen sold me. But after watching it a year and seeing various story lines wrap up (stranger who came to town and caused trouble, caused trouble and then left - followed by a new stranger) i realized I could live without Days. But Stefano, oh, man, creepy, vile, scumbag - there was this weird "Phantom of the Opera" kind of riff when he kidnapped Marlena and took her to Paris - I mean, Bo, John Black and Abe Carver were ****ty cops. Just saying. Sami and Kristin Dimera were also top shelf scumbags.
 
I was all-in on DOOL from birth. Mom started watching when she was rocking me as a newborn. I still harbor a huge crush on the original Jennifer Deveraux (Melissa Reeves). Jack and Jennifer was my super couple, not Bo and Hope.

Victor was awesome. RIP.

I watched for a season or so in 1992-93. I couldn’t watch Bo, he looked way too much like Leaping Lanny Poffo.

Same. My mom was all in on DOOL and we watched as kids. Then I met my future (now former) wife and her family who were all in on AMC.
 
I was hooked on "Guiding Light" one year long ago. Big TV crush on Cindy Pickett.

And Roger Thorpe was such a slimy rat *******.
Roger Stone, though, makes him look like Mr. Rogers.

I trust you have seen the movie Pickett did with Roger Vadim, "Night Games". If not do so. If you have you can always watch it again.
