For those that watch Days regularly, you may have 
               noticed Roark giving the "I love you" sign while he was 
               dancing with "Nurse Ali" in the show broadcast on 
               Wednesday July 29. Here is a picture from Mike R:
               

                        Roark Critchlow (born May 11, 1963)

               Roark Critchlow made his "Days of Our Lives" debut in 
               April 1994 as the all-American Dr. Mike Horton.

               Although he was a newcomer to daytime TV when he joined 
               "Days of Our Lives," he had appeared on several prime-time 
               series, including "The Commish," "21 Jump Street," "The 
               Round Table," "The Heights," "Highlander," "Cobra," 
               "Bordertown," "Neon Rider" and "Top of the Hill." He 
               also had a role in the feature film "Cadence."

               Critchlow was a theater major at the University of 
               Victoria, Canada, and has appeared in stage productions of 
               "Billy Bishop," "Trafford Tanzi," "The Dunsmuirs," "Gone 
               to Glory" and "Dawson City Gaslight Follies." Before joining 
               "Days of Our Lives," and between guest appearances on 
               prime-time programs, he worked as a bartender.

               Critchlow was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and moved 
               to the United States in 1993. He and his wife, Maria have 
               two daughters, Jara Shea and Reign. Critchlow enjoys spending 
               time with his family and stays active by swimming, running, 
               skiing, rollerblading and playing basketball.

             History:
                Mike Horton has the most sordid and lengthy history of 
                almost any current character on Days. Beginning from his 
                childhood, Mike was destined to be dazed and confused about 
                his identity. He thought that Mickey was his father, but 
                later learned that Mickey was impotent and that his 
                biological father was his  Uncle Bill, who had unintentionally 
                raped his mother (who really loved him and eventually ended 
                up with Bill anyway). It took him a long time to get over this.


                In his early adult life Mike was plagued by an addiction to 
                gambling and he had serious financial difficulties. While he 
                was suffering these life stresses he was also watching his 
                first wife succumb to cancer. After her death Mike went through 
                several romances including his interest in Janice, a woman 
                involved with his father Bill. This only forced the strained 
                relationship between father and son to become worse.


                There are two other significant love interests that should be 
                mentioned. One is Robin whom he loved deeply despite their 
                conflicts over the issue of religious differences. He had a 
                son with Robin, but he and Robin split and his son remains 
                indefinitely with his mother in Israel. The other woman in 
                his life was April. She was perfect for Mike, funloving and 
                playful, unfortunately that didn't work out either.


                Recently, he has discovered that he loves Carrie. He is also
                the chief of staff at the hospital. Craig and Nancy are 
                plotting to have him removed as the chief of staff. Nurse Ali 
                is after him hard and heavy too.
                Will things work out for him, or will Carrie stay with the 
                loser...oops I mean Austin.
