Paul played Shawn-Douglas for about
three months, just after Bo and Hope returned to Salem in 1990. His
mom's schedule conflicted with the DAYS schedule and Paul had to
quit.

This was Paul's first scene on
Days on April 27, 1990. Hope {Kristian Alfonso} had
reappeared in Europe and Julie {Susan Seaforth Hayes} came
to see her. She asked about the baby and Hope replied, "He's
not a baby anymore." At that point, he ran in the room,
taking a break from his coloring to meet Julie.

|
|
Here Shawn Douglas met Julie
for the first time. Hope just introduced her as "Julie,"
since she's both his grandma and his aunt.
|
|
|
|
Shawn Douglas came running out
to greet his father when he arrived. Hope watched their
reunion, heartbroken that her son had to be away from his
father because of their problems.

Bo and his son Shawn-Douglas
Brady. Paul loved working with Peter Reckell. This was their
first scene together.
|
|
|
|
Kristian and Peter seem to
enjoy their on-screen time with Paul. They make a great
family!
|
|
|
|
Before Bo left, he told his
"sailor man" to take good care of his mom while he was gone.
In his coat he had something to help Shawn D do that.

|
The goodbye kiss. Not only did
Bo kiss his son, but Shawn Douglas gave him a kiss in
return.
|
|
|
|
Hope desperately hoped that
they would be a family again.
|
|
After being away from his son
for a while, Bo came to tell Shawn Douglas why he couldn't
be with him as much as he used to. Shawn Douglas asked Bo to
tell him a story, so Bo created a story about a mean warlock
{Ernesto} who cast a spell on people.
|
|
|
|
Bo explained that the young
sailor boy loved his mama and his papa, but they couldn't be
a family until the warlock had been captured. Bo went on to
tell Shawn Douglas that the sailor boy's papa had to pretend
to be under the spell in order to capture the warlock.
|
|
|
|
Shawn Douglas listened
intently as Bo told the story, somehow knowing that his dad
was describing his family. It was a touching scene.
|
|
This was a scene in the park.
Steve and Kayla took their daughter Stephanie for a walk in
the park and ran into Bo and Hope, who had Shawn-Douglas in
the park. This was the first meeting of the two families
since Bo, Shawn-Douglas and Hope had returned to Salem.
Pictured here, right to left: Steve {Stephen Nichols},
Shawn-Douglas {Paul}, Bo {Peter Reckell}, Kayla {Mary Beth
Evans} and Hope {Kristian Alfonso}.

This was another scene in the
park where Steve met Shawn-Douglas for the first time since
he had left Salem with his mom and dad. Picture here are
Steve {Stephen Nichols}, Shawn-Douglas {Paul} and Bo {Peter
Reckell}.

Paul was always being carried
around. Like most of the soap kids he was carried
everywhere. It's not until about age 8 that soap kids walk
all the time. Bo was also giving Shawn-Douglas a piggy back
ride though the park. Paul and Peter look so cute together
as on screen father and son.

While Bo and Hope were on the
Cruise of Deception on the Loretta, Shawn Douglas stayed
with Steve and Kayla. Steve went looking for Bo and Hope but
didn't find them. Shawn Douglas greeted Steve upon his
return asking if he had found his parents.
|
|
Steve assured Shawn Douglas
that his parents would be back very soon.
|
|
|
|
Steve told Shawn Douglas he
needed to stay with them and help Aunt Kayla take care of
Stephanie. He agreed. Marcus was also there to give Kayla
assistance.
|
|
|
|
Steve thought of something to
cheer up Shawn Douglas--a carnival on the pier. His eyes lit
up with excitement. He raced Marcus upstairs to get his
shoes.
|
|
|
|
At the last minute, Steve was
unable to go to the carnival, so Marcus and Kayla took the
kids. Steve had one request of Shawn Douglas: "Win me a big
hairy gorilla." Shawn Douglas said, "OK."
|
|
|
|
At the carnival, they ran into
Carly, who challenged Marcus to a test of strength. Marcus
used the mallet and hit "Pee Wee." Carly enlisted an
assistant to help her: Shawn Douglas. The two of them hit
the very top, "King Kong."
|
|
|
|
Shawn Douglas won a stuffed
dog for his show of strength. Although it wasn't a "big,
hairy gorilla," he knew Uncle Steve would be proud.
