No More Days for Alice Horton



Soap Opera DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Frances Reid died this week at age 95. She played Alice Horton, the matriarch of the Horton Family, and also she was the last of the original DOL cast.



We have been fans of Days for thirty plus years. I don't watch it every day but enough to know what is going on. I can go two or three weeks without watching it and pick up on the same story. I guess that is nosiness or voyeurism in me to want to watch the interaction of what seems to be real people, but watching from a distant, far removed. I noticed that Grandma Horton hasn't been attending family functions lately. She must have been under the weather for a while.


That old Days Hour Glass just ran out of sand for Old Alice.
