Trivia:

Drake Hogestyn was hired in 1986 to take over the role of "Roman Brady" after Wayne Northrop left the series after a falling out with the show's writers. Several years later Northrop approached the producers of the show about him returning to the series, which created a problem because Hogestyn had quickly became one of the show's most popular actors. In order to keep Hogestyn on the show while allowing Northrop to return to the series as Roman, a storyline was crafted that revealed that Hogestyn's Roman was actually a mercenary named John Black who had been brainwashed into thinking he was Roman Brady as punishment for betraying his employer Stefano Dimera. This allowed Hogestyn to continue on the show while allowing Wayne Northrop to resume his previous role.

Quotes:

[Roman suggests that Sami and Will should not visit the penthouse until John has Brady under control]
Roman: It'd not just this one incident; it is not just a couple of beers. You told me yourself Brady has been acting up.
John: Yeah so because he's acting up, your going to tell Sami she can't see her mother? Will can't see his grandmother? It doesn't matter what the Hell they want? Is that what we are talking about?
Roman: First of all, they can see each other some place else, all right? But the fact is Sami is my daughter.
John: I mean God love her, she is a perfect kid, now isn't she?
Roman: Boy, that's nice, that's nice, you say that about the girl you raised the one you tell me that you love like your own.
John: What I am saying is that Eric and Sami were the perfect kids.
Roman: [laughs] And you are saying that's because of you, right? J
John: I'm saying that I didn't have any trouble with them.
Roman: Well good for you John, now about my wife.

''Bring back the romance''

I started watching days back in 1980 something, when John Black thought he was Roman.My best friend got me into the show and I have been a true fan sense. I will always watch Days, but I have to admit sometimes the show is really bad. It is confusing when actors switch roles for example,Roman used to be Chris and now Dr north is played by the original Roman, whats up with that??Is Lexie the only Dr in Salem?? I miss how the show was in the 80's with the super couples like Bo and Hope ,Kim and Shane and my favorites Patch and Kayla. BRING BACK PATCH

I hope the show starts to get better can't stand the horror and sleazy story lines,

but in spite of that I watch as often as I can and I hope the show will continue I am addicted.
