Thanks for posting all the pics of Shawn Douglas, JS

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

Some tears are in my eyes - wow they aged that kid well.

Meanwhile I never realised Andrew Donovan was around for so long, to grow so old. It's a shame they've forgotten about the Donovans.

Scott Groff was always my favourite Shawn-Douglas.

 

[Just Samantha]

It's a shame they've forgotten about the Donovans.

Who?? :wink:

Scott Groff was my favorite actor to play Shawn-Douglas, too

 

[Days Pretender]

Oh the memories brought back to me during this reading. I swear I should have bought into the Kleenex Co and then I could at least save some money. I have needed the reinforcements to be able to sit and rememger the things that pop into ones mind when looking at the photo album, that is laying on the coffee table of life. I know we were not actually there, but it sure seems like it... Thanks for the efforts again JS.. I loved every one of them.

 

[Days Pretender]

Scott Groff now takes over as Shawn-D (later in 1990

I never realized how much Shawn Douglas looked like the little guy that played, I think Andrew Donovan when he was a small child also, were they any relation in real life? I think I enjoyed Scott Groff the most of the smaller Shawn-D actors. He seemed to grow before our eyes just as Shawn was supposed to do. Very interesting, Thanks for the efforts on this one. It is like watching an instant replay of life.. Truely loved every moment.. thanks again...

 

[Just Samantha]

No, the little actors who played Shawn-Douglas and Andrew Donovan were not related.

 

[DaysFanSince1968]

I had forgotten some of those story points (Shawn Douglas being shot, for example). This brings up the point-- when will JT show up in Salem and turn out to be Bo and Hope's true son?

 

[lonewriter]

Thanks for that,the one who played him when he was about 8 was so cute.

 

[missharleyquinn]

I loved Jason Cook as Shawn D. I also love how that character basically aged in real time, unlike 98% of the Days youth. He should have been older than Belle, right?

 

[Just Samantha]

Yes, Shawn-Douglas was born in 1987; Belle wasn't born until 1993.

 

[Jammers]

It looks like in the pics that Max is older than Sami and Eric...but that is not the case now...is it?
