Days of our Lives has always been about family. And even if there aren’t as many Hortons around these days as there used to be, we’ve got Bradys and Johnsons and DiMeras and Carvers and the Kiriakis clan to keep us entertained. But there are an awful lot of daughters, in particular, missing from home and hearth. Which one needs to return to Salem sooner rather than later?

Days of our Lives: All Better Now

When Claire Brady (last played by Isabel Durant) was still in town, things were always happening. They weren’t good things. But they were happening. She’s a young, vaguely nutso legacy character. She’s Shawn (Brandon Beemer) and Belle’s (Martha Madison) daughter. She is John (Drake Hogysten) and Marlena’s (Deidre Hall), and Hope (Kristian Alfonso) and Bo’s (Peter Reckell) granddaughter. She’s Doug’s (Bill Hayes) great-granddaughter. And now she’s related to Dick Van Dyke (Timothy), too! How can she not be a Salem mover and shaker?
