| Melissa Brennan Reeves |
| |
 | Melissa got her start in showbiz with a role on Santa Barbara in 1984. She played Jade Perkins during the first year of the show. She worked alongside some amazing actors, including A Martinez, Marcy Walker, Lane Davies and Robin Wright. |  |
 | One of Jade's interesting moments was a run-in with David Hasselhoff {left}. She also romanced Warren Lockridge {right}. |  |
 |  |  |
 | Melissa sure went through her share of hairstyles on SB. She began on the show when she was just 17. |
 |  |
 | This 1986 hairstyle was just the beginning in a long line for Missy. |  |
 | Jennifer's first boyfriend was Glenn {Rob Estes}. He was the captain of the football team and the most eligible guy in school. He may have been a hunk, but Jenn never loved him. |  |
 | In 1986, Missy appeared in the teen horror flick Summer Camp Nightmare. |  |
 | Missy met boyfriend Tom Fridley on the set of Summer Camp Nightmare. She dated Tom, John Travolta's nephew, in 1986 and 1987. |
| Days started with the first generation of Horton children and their trials and tribulations. By the late 80s, we were seeing their children, all grown up, with lives of their own. They were still dedicated to their family. Here, Melissa, Hope and Jennifer perform "My Gram" to the tune of "My Guy" for their Grandma's birthday. It was just one sign of how close the Hortons still are. |  |
 | Jennifer gave Glenn his ring back so he could take it to be resized. She didn't really love Glenn, but she enjoyed her time with him. |  |
 | Frankie witnessed the event but misunderstood. He assumed they'd broken up and he went to comfort Jenn. Glenn soon reappeared with the ring and Frankie's hopes were dashed. But Jenn wondered why Frankie had been so interested. |  |
 | Jennifer's first true love was Frankie {Billy Warlock}. She went nearly two years without noticing his incredible love for her. She was busy with Glenn. |  |
 |  | Missy and Billy appeared at a Diabetes fundraiser in the mid 80s. |  |
 | Jennifer was always a very stylish teen. She wore these ripped jeans all the time. Beth admits she created a pair almost exactly like this. |
| The Days stars of the 80s were a close bunch. Here's Michael T. Weiss {Mike}, Missy, Mary Beth Evans {Kayla} and Arleen Sorkin {Calliope}. |  |
 | In 1988, Melissa began dating Jon Hensley {right, Holden on ATWT}. They met at a PA, which also featured Thom Bierdz {left, Philip on Y&R} |
| Yet another great Missy hairstyle. Here's Jennifer at Steve and Kayla's 1988 wedding. |  |
 | Missy was one of four Days teens featured on the cover of Soap Opera Digest during the summer of 1989. Also pictured: Randy Reinholz {Adam}, Christie Clark {Carrie} and Michael Bays {Julio, in chair}. |  |
 | This would be the last summer Jennifer was considered a teen. In the next year she would become involved with Jack and Emilio, which were both very adult relationships. |  |
 | Missy must have been a little tired of all of her teen poses. She decided to do some more seductive, pouty shots. |  |
