Been watching since I was a child in 2000, 24 years watching this guy on TV, grew to be one of my favorites, always seemed genuine, gonna miss you John Black 💖
I thought Drake would be with us many more years to tell his stories, share his memories, more Jarlena stories and give his bear hugs. I never met him but always wanted to. Thanks sharing all these interviews.
I’ll always remember taking my young children with me to a fan event at a park in LA. Many of the top cast were there. I asked Drake if he would let me take a photo of him with my children. He said “Sure,” got down on their level, and put one on each knee. It’s an adorable photo and I’m so glad we did that. Such a cute photo and a sweet memory of such a kind man.
So happy you got to meet him. It never occurred to me to try to attend one of these events. I live in Virginia. I actually thought about it this year, but now it is too sad for me.
Drake was such a kind soul. A genuine good man. I loved to hear his laugh. He will be greatly missed. These little interview clips just prove his warmth and overwhelming optimism for life and devotion to Days. Such a lovely tribute, Michael. Thank you for sharing. May he rest in peace. ❤
I've watched since I was 13 & & I'm 72 now so I have seen Drake since his beginning. All these actors are like my family so believe ME when I say I will miss him greatly but more sorry the big C had to be his cross to carry. My parents etc all had the same. Lovingly, avid DOOL watcher,Mary Jordan
He was right. My mother-in-law hooked me onto Days of Our Lives in May of 1971. And I have followed the ups the downs, the crazy, the touching, and everything in between for over 50 years and counting. The characters feel real and we care about them. Losing our favorites is never easy. I have cried over every single one. Tom and Alice Horton, Mickey, Stephano, Doug and now John. Thank you for the lovely memories with Drake and Diedre. I hope Days understands, that we need these long term actors and characters. I am hoping the next generation to bestow wisdom on the younger generations of Salem will be Bo and Hope.
Such a beautiful tribute to him Drake helped me through so much I cannot even describe it he helped me through lot of tough times in my life and he was fatherly figure to me I shall always cherish those moments I had with him on face time saying hi hunnie I said hello hunnie that was such a sweet moment that I shall never forget he was such a great man who inspired so many people to be who they are even my self he helped me get into shape and be proud of who I am and I shall continue to swing for the fences drake thank you for the beautiful memories you gave us and your beautiful wisdom ❤️❤️I shall miss you sliver fox forever
Have watched Days since 1985, a year before Drake came on. I so well remember when he thought he was Roman. He sure was charismatic and handsome. I remember early on, Drake’s Roman would refer to Sami and Eric as “the twinners” when they were toddlers on the show. He always put his own little spin on the dialogue. That’s a fact. Can hardly believe how fast the years flew by. R.I.P., Drake. The epitome of the soap opera leading man.
Great work, Drake, aka john, beautiful man, l watched this show for over 30 years. ty for being a part of days of our lives, you really brought your character to life ❤
This beautiful man was the reason I wanted to name a baby son Drake. I was smitten with him the moment he appeared on the screen. Such a wonderful actor. He and Deidre were and remain my favorite soap couple of all time. It's a sadder world now without Drake in it. May his family find comfort in knowing that his suffering has come to an end and that he was loved the world over. Thank for sharing your light with us Drake. May you rest peacefully.
I' m 41 yrs old and I remember back in 1997 my best best friend got me hook on the days of are lives. I remember getting from exercising in p.e because I would talk to my p.e teacher about the show.
I grew up in the 80s starting out on the ABC soaps and in the 90s in college I was put onto Days. I haven't watched stories in many yrs but man back then they were can't miss and I was hooked! John Damn Black and Dr Marlena Evans! When he passed last week and Marlena came to mind I did have to briefly brainstorm her last name. I knew it wasn't Black or Brady. I said a few times Doctor Marlena...🤔 EVANS! 😁💙💪🏼💯😢
Always loved watching. Drake on. Days as. John. Black. He definitely will be missed by all who knew him or watched him over the years. God Bless. You. Drake
Such a Great tribute!!!! I had such a Crush on Drake when he came into Days Of Our Lives (DOOL). I havecwatched Days from the very first show!!! Lots of Great memories!!!!❤❤❤ Drake WILL be missed!!!
Can't believe he's no longer with us... I used addicted to that show when I was in high school. I would program my VCR to record it when I was in school and watch it after school.
I met Drake once at a show in Hot Springs, Arkansas at a theme park. He was so down to earth and funny. That memory has stuck with me all these years and I remember watching Days with my grandma when I was a kid and grew up watching it. Drake was the coolest actor period. My condolences to his family.❤️🙏

I’ve not watched a soap in years. I remember Drake’s first appearance on Days as the Roman replacement (facial reconstruction I believe was the plot line). I heard about Drake’s death a couple of days ago. Even though I haven’t seen Days in a very long time, I’m very sorry to hear of his passing. I always liked his character(s). (Roman/John). BTW, is Deidre a vampire because she hasn’t aged.
When I would see days of Pue life dotó Marlena and John and now he is with Jesus Christ acting for our savior rest in peace ❤your in the best place miss you always 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💐💐💐💐💐🌷🌷🌺🌺🌺🪷🪷🪻🪻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌼🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
