There are questions about who is related to who so I thought I'd try to clear up some of the questions. The answers are based on my memory as well as articles at Wikipedia and the nbc site for the show.
TOM HORTON, the patriarch of the HORTON family. Husband of ALICE HORTON (nee Grayson). TOM was the Chief of Staff at Salem University Hospital for years. TOM & ALICE have five children:
1-TOMMY-married KITTY, one daughter, SANDY. TOMMY served in the Korean War and was wounded. He had facial plastic surgery and found his way back to Salem but had amnesia. He used the name Dr. MARK BROOKS until family members put the pieces together and realized that he was really TOMMY HORTON. The character has been off the canvas and somewhere in the hospital for years.
2-ADDIE HORTON, married Ben Olson and had two children: daughter, JULIE and son, Steven. JULIE, a troubled teenager, has a son, DAVID BANNING and a grandson, SCOTT BANNING. SCOTT's mother was Trish Clayton. Addie and her second husband, DOUG WILLIAMS, have a daughter, HOPE ALICE WILLIAMS. After Addie's death, JULIE and DOUG married and raised HOPE together. HOPE later married BO BRADY (her second husband) and they have three children together: SHAWN DOUGLAS BRADY, ZACH (deceased) and CIARRA. HOPE has also befriended her step-daughter, CHELSEA, (whose mother is BILLIE REED, daughter of KATE ROBERTS) whom she considers her daugher. Nothing is known of JULIE's brother, STEVEN, except that he is somewhere in Europe.
3-MICKEY-an attorneythe horton family tree, first husband of LAURA HORTON, a psychiatrist. Raised "son" MIKE HORTON as his son and it wasn't until Mike was a teenager did they find out that MIKE was really MICKEY's brother, BILL's son. Married MAGGIE SIMMONS; Adopted MELISSA ANDERSON; adopted SARAH HORTON (Sarah's parents are Mickey's wife, Maggie & Neil Anderson);
4-BILL HORTON-after an affair with his brother's wife, LAURA, she became pregnant but never acknowledge that BILL was the baby's father. After MICKEY married MAGGIE, BILL and LAURA married and had daughter JENNIFER. LAURA was a patient at a mental institution for years. MIKE later became a doctor and was involved with a string of women including Janice Barnes (who had also been involved with his father), ROBIN MYERS, with whom he had a son, JEREMY HORTON, and CARRIE BRADY. Mike took over as Chief of Staff at the hospital when his grandfather, Tom Horton, died. BILL & LAURA's daughter, JENNIFER, married JACK DEVEREUX and had two children: ABIGAIL AND JJ (Jack, Jr.) JENNIFER and JACK are currently on assignment in London, England with their son, JJ. Daughter ABIGAIL stayed behind in Salem.
5-MARIE-after an affair with ALEX MARSHALL, she had daughter, ANJELICA, but put her up for adopted. MARIE entered the convent after discovering the man she was in love with was her brother, TOMMY. He's had facial plastic surgery and amnesia and was going under the assuemd name, Dr. MARK BROOKS.
**I've forgotten a lot of information so I'll give you the website so you canthe horton family tree read the information for yourself.
Wow, that brought back memories, thanks. You know so many of these characters where never killed off and not mentioned. I know most are overseas, i.e. Mike, Carie, Jennifer and Jack. Hey, they could start another show on the european side. That might be pretty interesting. I would like to have them do an on the air update of Marie, Tommy, especially Bill and Laura. And Abigail was staying with Maggie then left, well how is she and did she go to Jack and Jennifer? They could mention all this without actually bringing anyone back but that would be nice for a reunion show, maybe for the holidays. I know several of them have gone to other shows (Mike, old Mickey).
Wow that's a lot of family history for a family that doesn't even exist. Isn't there a sight that has the family trees on it from the writers of the show at NBC.com?
Good looking out I've been a fan for along time I stoped watching in
2001 so thanks for the info.
This is not a question so I cannot give you an answer. I just have one thing to say:
Imagine if you spent that much energy and time on your own family tree or school. You might be able to contribute your share to the world.
I totally loved this !
It was a great refresher and helped clear up my memory, and some questions I had because I forgot things along the way, thank you for taking the time to put it all together for us.
