The Final Goodbye For "Alice Horton" Begins Tomorrow on 'Days of Our Lives' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 06-08-2010, 09:44 AM

Now this is Big Love! Days of Our Lives will celebrate the life, and honor the passing, of legendary actress Frances Reid with a farewell that's unprecedented in soap history. The beloved veteran, who played Salem matriarch Alice Horton from the show's debut in 1965 until her health became too fragile in 2007, died last February at age 95. On June 9, Days viewers will learn that Alice is rapidly declining, at which point several characters from the past will gather for a final visit. Among the returning fan faves: Melissa Reeves (Jennifer), Jaime Lyn Bauer (Laura), Maree Cheatham (Marie), Lisa Trusel (Melissa), Patsy Pease (Kimberly), Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) and V's Roark Critchlow (Mike). Alice's death on June 23 will be followed by a splendid memorial loaded with flashbacks.

I'm glad that they're giving Alice Horton the big send-off she truly deserves and in so doing are paying a very well deserved and loving tribute to the woman who played her for so many years, Frances Reid! And it's great that so many Brady family members are returning to Salem to pay their respects!

Wonderful to know that DOOL is paying homage to such a wonderful actress...

I'm so glad they are honoring Frances/Mrs. H with a great, flashback filled tribute - and that so many cast members are returning for the occasion. I just hope ATWT does the same for Helen Wagner/Nancy.

What fitting way to remember the grand matriarch of the show as it fades to black. I just hope they have enough time to do it.

It has been a pleasure to watch DOOL this past couple of weeks. What a great tribute to Frances Reed/Alice Horton. I've only watched Days for about 7 years, (thanx to the Soap Network). With all the characters that came back, recent ones such as Jenn, Kayla, and Carrie, and others from years ago, it was interesting to piece together the Horton and Brady family trees. And all the flashbacks, helped me to figure out how people were related, or connected to Alice.

My only wish is that Diedre Hall could have returned.
