Collin O'Donnell

Collin's first airdate was August 2, 1995. Collin took over the role of Shawn-Douglas from Scott Groff. He was moved to contract status in September 1995. Collin was a model before he got the DAYS role. He loves playing Shawn-Douglas and hopes the writers make his character a rebel like his on-screen father Bo. For additional info on Collin, see his Fascinating Facts section.

Shawn-Douglas Brady

Collin's first scene. Shawn-Douglas walked into the Brady Pub, where Bo and Gina were talking about the fact that she may be Hope. They had just finished reading the letter that Hope had written to Bo on their wedding day 10 years earlier. His first line was "Hey what's everybody doing?"
On Collin's first day he was introduced to Peter Reckell first. Peter explained that he played Bo, the father of Shawn-Douglas.
Collin was introduced to Kristian Alfonso next. Kristian told him she didn't know who she was. She was joking of course. She explained that she played Gina, a woman who looked just like Shawn-Douglas' real mother, Hope.
Hope told Shawn-Douglas she was his mother. At first Shawn-Douglas didn't believe her.
He said, "You thought that once before." Shawn-Douglas turned to his dad and asked if he believed it. Was she really his mom?
Bo said "Yes, son I believe it." Bo then took Hope's hand and they stood up and hugged their son together as a family.
Hope took Shawn-D home with her to the Horton Center. Hope was so happy to be back, especially for her son.
Shawn-D was more than happy to have his mom back for real this time. Hope gave her son a good night kiss.
Collin and Kristian get along great on screen and off. Kristian said she would be proud if her own son, Gino grew up to be as well behaved and mannered as Collin.
Collin strikes a modeling pose in his tux. Must be all that experience he had as a model before joining Days. Collin worked as a model for two years, appearing in various newspaper and magazine print advertisements.
Shawn-D saw his mom come into the Penthouse Grille. Shawn-D spotted his dad and Billie. He told Hope "let's go talk to them." Shawn-D wanted more than anything for them to get back together.
Shawn-D was watching John's water trick at the Gala. When the trick started to go wrong, Shawn-D turned to his Grandpa Shawn and said "Help, Uncle John". He was really worried about John.
After they pulled the cover off the water tank and saw John floating, Grandpa Shawn firgured it was a good time to take Shawn-D out of the room.
This is the picture that Hope showed to Rosa in Santa Rosa. Rosa remembered Shawn-D as a baby, she was shocked to see how big and handsome he had gotten.
Shawn-Douglas was bragging to his Great-Uncle Mickey and Grandpa Shawn about how the sons beat the dads at baseball. Bo told him that he let him win. Shawn-Douglas said, "Yeah right! We won fair and square."
Shawn, Caroline, Mickey and Maggie were all talking about who Shawn-Douglas looks like. Shawn-Douglas asked his dad who he thought he looks like more, his mom or dad. Bo told him, "You have the best parts of both us."
Shawn-Douglas was worried about his mom being a cop. He asked Billie if she would give his mom a job. He told her, "She could be a model."
Shawn-Douglas was waiting at the police station for his dad. Abe let him sit in his office and wait. Shawn-Douglas was kickin' back and the phone rang. It was Hope, who was in trouble. Hope told Shawn-Douglas to find his Dad and give him the phone.
When Bo got in the office, Hope had been disconnected. Bo asked Shawn-Douglas what she said. All she told him was she was with two men in a warehouse on the pier. Shawn-Douglas told his dad, "I wish I would have asked her more Dad." Bo told him it was alright, he would find her.
When Bo found Hope, she was not breathing, because she had hit her head. Bo did CPR as Abe, Billie and Shawn-Douglas looked on.
Shawn-Douglas was glad his mom was going to be alright. Hope told Shawn-Douglas, "You are my heroes, you and your dad."

Shawn-Douglas hugged his mom tight. He was scared that he had lost her again.
Collin not only appeared at a Days event in a tux, but had chosen a fancy bow tie and cumberbund to wear. {Photos courtesy Star Galaxy}
