Additional Children of Salem

Many of you have written to us to ask if we were going to include various children who appeared in flashbacks or other days storylines. While the children listed on this page didn't have large enough roles to deserve a page of their own, they deserve to be mentioned. Here we have included children who appeared in very short storylines, as well as those who played characters in flashbacks or flashforwards. If you can help fill in any of the gaps, please email us. Thanks.

It is also interesting to note that many other children have appeared during the University Hospital Christmas episodes each year. Traditionally, the children of the cast and crew are invited to play the children in the hospital pediatric ward, as well as candy stripers. These episodes are taped on a Saturday, so all can attend. Drake Hogestyn's children, Alexandra, Whitney, Rachel and Ben, have appeared for many years, starting as children in the ward and slowly moving up to candy stripers. In 1993, David Sohmer, Deidre Hall's son appeared during these episodes. Her children have not appeared since.  In 2000, Melissa Reeves' daughter, Emily, had a significant role during the hospital Christmas, as she was the little girl Belle placed in Brady's arms. Melissa's son Lawrence also appeared in that episode. Also in 2000, Tori Fath, Farah Fath's younger sister, played a candy striper. Samantha Barrows, who played Noelle in the 80s, reappeared as a candy striper in the mid-90s.
