Way back when, Days of Our Lives didn’t hold in the wedding department, enormously popular couple, Roman and Marlena, tied the knot in quite the church wedding. While it looked like a wonderfully romantic moment, you may be surprised to learn what was really happening behind the scenes.
Now, thanks to General Hospital star Lynn Herring spilling all on Twitter, we know the moment wasn’t necessarily that magical for her real-life husband, who originated the role of Roman — Wayne Northrop.
It all started when a DAYS fan Twitter account tweeted memories on Roman and Marlena’s wedding on February 9 to commemorate their 36-year-anniversary (had John never been Roman and Roman and Marlena had never divorced).
Herring spotted the tweet and shared some stories about what was really going on behind the scenes — and who was there!
“Fun facts, my real life parents were extras at that wedding and Wayne had poison oak covering his neck under his collar and itched the whole wedding! @daysofourlives 😂 I hadn’t joined @GeneralHospital yet so I was amazed with magical daytime TV weddings❤️”
What do you think? Post a comment!
It may have been more than three decades ago when the two characters wed, but it’s still great fun to learn a set-side secret about one of the most popular couples to ever grace Salem!
