Lisa, born December 6, 1979, played Sarah from 1985 through 1989, when Sarah was aged to be a teenager. In 1989, she reappeared on Days as Little Isabella Toscano in a flashback. That same year she appeared on Murder, She Wrote. For information on what Lisa's done since leaving Days, visit Beth's Where are they Now? page.

Sarah Horton

In 1985, the Hortons and the Bradys celebrated Christmas together. The Bradys even put ornaments on the tree. Sarah got to watch and appreciate the festivities for the first time. {Photos courtesy Ken}

The Bradys and Hortons were also together for the Christmas celebration at the hospital. Pictured on left are Sarah and LaToya with other kids in the hospital. On the right are Sarah, Marlena, Carrie and Anna. {Photos courtesy Ken}

Lisa posed with her on screen family. Tom and Alice Horton had just remarried. Clockwise from Lisa, Alice {Frances Reid}, Maggie {Suzanne Rogers}, Mickey {John Clarke}, Melissa {Lisa Trusel}, Jennifer {Missy Reeves}, Michael {Michael Weiss} and Tom {Macdonald Carey}

The Children of Salem gathered together for a Halloween photo for the Days Calendar for 1987. Pictured, left to right: Lisa, Christie Clark {Carrie}, Vanessa Nichols {Stephen's daughter, who held a recurring role as Kelly}, Aaron Nichols {recurring role as young Steve}, Michael Rhoton {Max Brady}, Tiffany and Edward Palma {Sami and Eric Brady}.

Lisa was an adorable Little Red Riding Hood.

Melissa put her arm around her little sister as they sang "Angels We Have Heard On High" during the 1986 Christmas celebration. Even though they weren't related by blood, they held a special bond and even looked a lot alike.

Sarah, Mickey and Maggie arrived for the 1988 Christmas celebration at the hospital. Sarah ran to hug her cousin, Jennifer.

Sarah took part in the events for the children at the hospital. She got a candy cane and then sat for the Christmas Story, read by her Grandpa Tom.

The filming of the Christmas episodes always involves the children of the cast and crew, who play the patients. Each child wore a nametag with his or her name on it. When we first saw Sarah with her nametag, it said Lisa.

The next time we saw her, it said Sarah. Our assumption is that each child was told to write their name on a nametag and Lisa did the same, putting her real name. Someone later realized it and corrected it with a Sarah nametag.

Sarah waited in anticipation for the ornament hanging to begin.

Sarah watched as Alice put her ornament on the tree. She asked her dad to help lift her up to put hers at the top. Mickey said it would be the last year they could do it because she was so heavy. The next Christmas, Sarah was about 17 and played by Shauna Lane-Block.

Two more Horton traditions: singing and hugging. The family sang Joy to the World after they hung the ornaments on the tree.

In 1991, Lisa appeared in a small role in Terminator 2: Judgement Day as "girl." She only said one word and we only saw the side of her face.

Lisa's scene was with Nikki Cox, who now appears on "Unhappily Ever After." The T-1000 was chasing John Connor. He was disguised as a cop and pulled up to the girls asking them if they'd seen him. Nikki's character said "He was here 15 minutes ago. I think he was going to the Galleria." She looked at Lisa's character, who agreed, "Yeah."

Lisa (on the left) is now the business manager and a performer for a dance troupe called Rhiannon. This Manhattan-based dance company has its roots in Irish dance, but branches out to encompass many forms, from ballroom to Indian.
