"Days of our Lives" Horton Family 1965 to 1985 Quiz

Answer: False

As a matter of fact "Days" was created especially for Macdonald Carey. This was during the heyday of soaps when they were very well done, dramatic, creative, original, and suspenseful. There were many soaps on the air, so the idea was to create something very different by putting a well known and loved movie actor in the pivotal role. Macdonald had been in movies for years and starred with many A-listers including Marilyn Monroe and countless others.

He starred from 1965 until his death in 1994.

Claire made 2 great great grandchildren when she was born as Scottie has been around awhile .

They may have a great great great grandchild by now as Scottie has been of age for quite a long time and off the canvas for quite a long time as well.

Answer: half sisters and stepmother/stepdaughter

They are half sisters because they have the same mother, Addie. They are stepmother and stepdaughter because Julie married her stepfather Doug who is Hope's father. Julie's father was Ben. Julie and Doug were in love before Doug and Addie married, but Addie felt he was not good enough for her daughter Julie so she tried to preoccupy him and fell in love instead.

She married him knowing she had stolen him away from her own daughter.
