Take a look back at last year's annual Brady-Horton 4th of July picnic, when Grandpa Shawn enjoyed the holiday with his beloved Caroline, Alice Horton joined the festivities, and
Jett Carver and bad boy
Jeremy Horton were still around. Remember when
John Black was his "old" self?
Enter the photo gallery and enjoy! Happy 4th of July!

Matthew Ashford (ex-Jack Devereaux) has had no trouble keeping busy since his departure from DAYS in September 2006. The beloved actor is now shooting a feature film entitled
Winning Favor, which is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2009.
According to a Sioux City Journal article, Matthew stars as Loren DeJong, who is head coach of the MOC-Floyd Valley Community School District basketball team in Orange City, Iowa. The feature film follows the 2005 boys' basketball teams from MOC-Floyd Valley and Unity Christian schools. Both squads brought home state titles to the small Sioux County community in Iowa. Matthew refers to this movie as a "timeless story" which involves community, the power of friendships, and how teenagers can sometimes teach adults.
As DAYS fans may recall, Matthew Ashford played Jack Devereaux off and on from 1987 until September of 2006, when Jack and Jennifer departed Salem for London. This is the actor's first role playing a coach. Coincidentally, Matthew is originally from Davenport, Iowa, where he spent the majority of his childhood until he moved with his family to Virginia at the age of thirteen.
Congratulations to Matthew in his new role in this movie! I'll be sure to let you know more information as it becomes available. He is definitely missed on DAYS and has indicated more than once that he'd be open to a return, so hopefully the show will one day have enough room for his character.
