After a long break from watching "Days of Our Lives," I got a chance to catch up a little today to sad and shocking news. The character Shawn Brady has passed away.
Shawn Brady (played by Frank Parker {1983-1984, 1985-1989, 1990-present}, Lew Brown {1984-1985}, and Frank MacLean {1989-1990}) was married to Caroline Brady, father of Roman, Kimberly, Kayla, and Bo Brady (Bo not by blood). He was the grandfather of Carrie, Sami, Eric, Rex, Cassie, Jeannie, Andrew Donovan IV, and Stephanie. He was also like a grandfather to Bo's children (Shawn-Douglas, Chelsea, Zack, and Ciara). His great-grandchildren were Will, Alli, and Johnny. He was also like a great-grandfather to Claire. He was the co-owner of the Brady Pub.
The character of Shawn Brady passed away during a plane crash on February 15th, 2008 saving his family's lives instead of his own. As one of the older characters on the show, it is sad to see him go. Who knows what is in store for the Brady family now? Kimberly Brady (played by Patsy Pease) will be returning to the show. The rest of the family is bruised and heartbroken by the loss of their father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
While I have not been able to catch up on what else is going on in the world of "Days of Our Lives," I do have good hopes for the direction that the writers are going in. I would like it if there would just be about a few months break before Stefano locks up Marlena in a dungeon in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Did that already happen? I am not sure when the funeral will be scheduled for Shawn Brady. Keep watching as "Days" goes on...
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives...
This blog post is dedicated to Mickey, my mom, and everyone else who has watched "Days of Our Lives" from the very beginning.

Alas, another member of the Brady Bunch has fallen.
Hi Ricki,
Do you mean Mickey, as in my mother?
Hello Laura,
Yes, I did. I hope I spelled her name correctly.
Wow! Thanks. I'll tell her. Keep writing. I'm enjoying your blog.
Check out my salute to soaps on my blog!
I am wanting to find out the name of the song that "Chloe" sang at Grandpa Shawn's funeral on Days of our lives. Can anyone help there??
Cheers
