She was a lovely lady and a great actress
I had watched Days since the 60′s,after school.She indeed was like a real gram to many of us and the loss is felt deeply.
i miss your donuts already! RIP
a loyal fan since the early 80s!
I started watching Days in “66 when I had my first child. Alice was a great role model I am now a grandmother and hope to be adored by my grandson as Alice was by all of hers. May she rest in peace. Thank you Alice for all the hours of entertainment.
I am so sadden by this news , my heart felt sorrow to her family and friends and the remaining cast of Days, I feel she is one of my family because I watched her from the day the soap started and I was prego with my first baby. God’s Rest, love to all Cherie
Omgosh! How sad
I remember watching Days of Our Lives, EVERYDAY after school! <3
Rest In Peace Grandma Alice <3
Rest in Peace “Mrs. H.”
I am so sad to hear of the passing of Mrs. H. I have been watching Days since the beginning. Mrs. H was a smart, loving lady and always gave great advice. If she were here now, she would give Bo a BIG piece of her mind.
I, too, watched from the first day and loved Alice thru the years. I loved her gorgeous hair and grace. She played so many parts over the years. I loved her and Beau playing detective together. She had a storyline with most everyone, more playful after “Tom” died. Yeah, many a cookie and do-nut came out of the kitchen while the Hortons shared their lives. Please continue the Xmas tree ball hanging tradition because it brought all of us watchers together as if we were really a part of the group there. Did they really have to drop reading the Xmas story to the children at the hospital? I loved Doug doing that. The show has been so much family…no matter how crazy and flip-flopped it has gotten. I think everyone is related to everyone. Won’t it be funny if they discover Melanie is Carly and Beau’s so she is Phillip’s half sister….yikes!!!!! ha, ha, ha
If that came to be true (wouldn’t Carly have said something already, she knows Melanie is marrying Phillip) Melanie would be Phillip’s niece, not his half-sister. Bo and Phillip are half-brothers.
I’ve watched Days for 31 years and have grown to call my own grandmother, “gran”!! She was an icon and will forever be remembered!! I hope they have a fitting tribute for her on the show!
So sad to hear about Ms Reid. She was and always will be a part of Days of Our Lives. I’ve been watching for years. It will not be the same without her beautiful face to grace the screen. She will truly be missed by not only her fans, but her Days family. RIP, Francis. May God watch over you in Heaven.
Frances Reid was the icon of class. She reminded me so much of my own beloved grandmother. I will miss her just as much.
Times like this I would call my grandmother – I’ve known this beautiful lady ALL OF MY LIFE – she will be sadly missed – my heart goes out to her family and the DOOL family – she will remain in our hearts as my Nan remains in mine. XOXOXO
I was shocked that todays stupid show was not canceled to honor Frances Reid!
RIP, Gran.you were one of my favorite actors on days, you will be missed dearly, and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers, I am sure that they can proudly hold their heads up being filled with pride for having you in their lives. May God bless you all, and may you find peace with Him.
