Five Things That Happened On July 25 In Soap History

In 1986, Billy Warlock made his Days of Our Lives debut as Frankie Brady (originally known as Frankie Donner). Prior to his stint in Salem, Warlock had played Ricky Driscoll on Capitol in 1984. Frankie's pairing with Melissa Reeves's Jennifer was a hit, and Warlock remained with the show until 1987, returning from 1990-91 and then again from 2005-06. In his original stint, Frankie (along with his little brother, Max) were adopted by Shawn and Caroline Brady. When the character was reintroduced in 1990, it was revealed that Frankie was actually Francois Van Leuschner, the brother of Katerina Von Leuschner, better known as Carly Manning.
