The news of Drake Hogestyn’s passing broke all of our hearts here at Daily Drama. He was a Days of our Lives icon, a legend, and one of the most entertaining patriarchs in the daytime world. Today, we are honoring his memory by reissuing his Daily Drama Podcast visit. We hope you enjoy watching as much as we enjoyed talking to the man who touched so many lives.

We got to know the superstar better when we had the honor of spending time with him off the soap sets. His fun, entertaining, and uplifting spirit had us in stitches many times during this fabulous visit. It was a pleasure to know him, an honor to be his friend, and being on set with him on Days of our Lives was something no actor who has that opportunity will ever forget.
