The soap opera world mourns the loss of Days of Our Lives' legendary actor Wayne Northrop, best known for originating the role of Roman Brady. Northrop, a cornerstone of the NBC Peacock series, passed away at the age of 77. His wife of 43 years, Lynn Herring, a fellow soap icon known for her role as Lucy Coe on General Hospital, shared the news of his passing. Northrop's portrayal of Roman Brady from 1981 to 1984 and again from 1991 to 1994 left an indelible mark on Days of Our Lives. 

After his exit from DOOL, the role was taken over by Josh Taylor. Northrop also made a return to the soap in a new role as Dr. Alex North from 2005 to 2006. His death follows the recent losses of other Days of Our Lives' stalwarts, including John Aniston and Drake Hogestyn. Tributes from co-stars such as James Reynolds (Abe Carver), Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans), Peter Reckell (Bo Brady), and Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady) highlight Northrop's humor, talent, and impact on the long-running drama.
