Salem kids, through the years

The twins who played infant Philip also played Baby George at the end of Father of the Bride

Caroline comforts Victor (who holds Philip) after Kate's death

 

[Poirot]

Oh, wow, brings back such memories.

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

Poor Kate. Never got to see her kids grow up. Lucas was at school (granted, her choice); Rex and Cassie raised in a lab; Austin and Billie snatched by Nasty Curtis; and Philip - well he didn't spend too much time as a kid.

I am loving these pics, JustSamantha.

I totally forgot that Peggy McCay wasn't always Caroline.

 

[Just Samantha]

This Hollywood starlet played Hope in a flashback in 1994. Can you guess who?

In 2001, Philip was in a coma and dreaming of a future with Chloe. They had twin sons, Victor II and Philip, Jr. (guess he wasn't thinking about the fact that Justin and Adrienne named one of their twin sons, Victor II).

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

Nobody knew who Justin was then, though. OT those kids played little Borg (bionic zombie) twins on Star Trek: Voyager.

 

[Just Samantha]

Yes, they knew who Justin was. He and Adrienne were living off-screen with Alexander, Joseph, Victor II and Jackson (Sonny)

Justin and Alexander (Anjelica Deveraux, Jack's former stepmother, is Alexander's biological mother)

Justin and Adrienne with Joseph and Victor II

Jackson (Sonny) was born off-screen in 1991.

Sarah was quickly SORASED (she also played Bonnie, Samantha Micelli's friend on Who's the Boss)

Sarah was re-cast again. She sits on the couch with Max and Shawn-Douglas

Another new Sarah, this time all grown up and out of control, as a way to punish Maggie for her affair with Neil Curtis (who turned out to be Sarah's biological father)

[Daysdegrassi]

Jason, that's why it's not fair to call Kate a bad mom-she barely spent any time as one! LOL

 

[Just Samantha]

I totally forgot that Peggy McCay wasn't always Caroline.

Frank Parker wasn't always Shawn Brady either. Two other actors played the part.

Two other actresses also played Caroline Brady.

 

[Jason47]

Jody Carter was seen in the background as Caroline for two episodes but I don't think she uttered a word at all! Barbara Beckley was the other Caroline. Although Frank Parker remembered things differently...he said in an interview once that there was like 5 or 6 other actresses to play Caroline during Peggy's absence on the show. It wasn't until I finished my research of all the episodes that I could confirm which was the truth: only two actresses played Caroline while Peggy was gone (Barbara and Jody).

Little Jennifer Rose Horton with David (Julie's son) and Scotty (David's son)

Another note about this one: These are real life brother and sister! Jennifer & Erick Petersen played Jennifer and Scotty during the late 70s.

 

[Jason47]

This Hollywood starlet played Hope in a flashback in 1994. Can you guess who?

Mila Kunis

That was her acting debut I think too!

 

[Just Samantha]

I think she was a good choice for a flashback scene; she kind of resembled Kristian Alfonso (Hope) when she was a kid.

What ever happened to Julie's son, David, and to Dougie LeClair?
