Through out the years many characters have played Shawn-Douglas Brady. Our favorite is the current Shawn-D, Collin O'Donnell. His birthday is September 4th 1984. He was born in Riverside, California. Before he worked on Days, Collin was a model.
On the show...
Shawn-D was born to Bo and Hope Brady in 1987, but due to the RAS (rapid aging syndrome)he celebrated his 12th birthday in 1997. His nick name is Sailor Man because before his parents separated they lived on a boat called The Fancy Face. He was named after both his grandfathers. Now he lives in the Horton Center with Alice and Hope. Shawn-D had wanted to go to boarding school for quite some time, his mother's personality change was enough to do it for him. Shawn-D is currently in boarding school. Much to our dismay Collin O'Donnell has been let go and a new actor will appear in the role of ShawnD in the very near future as he returns from boarding school.

Shawn-Douglas better be careful about who he marries if it is anyone in Salem. He is a Horton by blood, Brady by name and Kiriakis by blood.
Due to an unfortunate RAS Shawn (drop the D)is now played by Jason Cook...At first there was controversy, but now we are pleased with the recast. For pictures of Jason Cook and the other recently aged teens please visit the teen section!
