Salemites Celebrate Dick Van Dyke Turning 100
Van Dyke was a household name long before his 2023 stint on DAYS, but soap fans might remember him best as John’s (the late Drake Hogestyn) father Timothy Robicheaux. His time in Salem only lasted two weeks, but Van Dyke left an Emmy-worthy mark in Salem.
Now, Van Dyke is being celebrated for turning 100 years old, and his fellow Salemites were among the many to honor him. Kicking off the birthday wishes was Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie), who kept it short and sweet, just like Van Dyke’s run in Salem.
“Happy Birthday Mr @official_dick_van_dyke! Our favorite dancing centenarian,” Seaforth Hayes captioned a photo from a moment she and Van Dyke shared a dance.
Deidre Hall (Marlena) also shared a heartwarming photo of herself with Van Dyke on set, writing, “To the very dearest man, @official_dick_van_dyke, congratulations on this momentous birthday! You make it look easy. You’re my hero!”
Van Dyke’s on-screen grandson Eric Martsolf (Brady) shared a snap of him and Van Dyke on set at the Brady Pub with a simple, “Happy 100th, Dick,” while Carson Boatman (Johnny) wrote, “Happy birthday to this legend!” along with a behind the scenes photo of him and Van Dyke.
