8. Valentine Fever

As Valentine’s Day recently passed, many DOOL stars were eager to share heartfelt thoughts about their partners. Eric Martsolf (Brady) quoted Tony Montana in his Instagram post, saying “She’s a tiger, she belongs to me.” Most people wouldn’t peg Al Pacino’s character in Scarface as a true romantic, but luckily Martsolf added his own words as well. “I love you fiercely, Lisa.” Ahh, much nicer!

5. Alison Sweeney Stars In Hallmark Movie

The final installment in The Wedding Veil trilogy premiered on Saturday, February 19th, and stars Alison Sweeney in the role of Tracy. As Soaps.com reports, the previous films have seen Tracy’s friends find wedded bliss on account of this magical wedding veil, and now it’ll be the DOOL star’s turn. Making this Hallmark movie even more Salem-y, Victor Webster (who played Nicholas Alamain) will star opposite Sweeney.

4. William Christian Nearly Turned Down Role

William Christian recently made his debut as TR Coates, Paulina’s abusive ex. But as it turns out, he nearly passed on the role because it was so different from his All My Children character, Derek Frye. “Who would want to play that?” Christian said in an interview with Soap Opera Digest (via Soaps.com), sharing his initial reaction to playing TR Coates. Luckily for DOOL viewers, those closest to the actor advised him to run with it. “They said, ‘You should do this. It’s quintessential daytime.'”

3. Jack’s Back!

The fact that DOOL is back, after a two-week hiatus caused by NBC’s Winter Olympics coverage, is good news. But what makes it even better is hearing that Jack Deveraux (played by Matthew Ashford) will also be back in Salem, according to Soaps.com. The character left with his wife Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) in early January after the Horton’s annual Christmas rendezvous. Also returning to Salem – although he hasn’t been missing for very long – is Eli (Lamon Archey).
