Death is a big part of any TV drama, and soap operas are no different.
“Days of Our Lives” fans have seen countless characters die over the show’s 56-year run.
Sadly, not all characters can continue on in soap opera land.
However, Carey remains a huge part of the show to this day.
The actress originated the role of Alice Horton, the loving wife to Macdonald Carey’s Dr. Tom Horton.
Alice was known for her strong morals and her delicious homemade donuts.
Reid last appeared on “DOOL” in 2007.
Although Alice wasn’t seen, the other characters often referenced her in the storylines.
After her death, it wasn’t long before the show decided to give Alice the same fate.
Like her on-screen husband, Tom, Alice remains one of the backbones of “DOOL.”
McCay’s final appearance on “DOOL” was on Aug. 24, 2016 (viaDeadline).
However, the character of Caroline lived on as her children and grandchildren often mentioned her.
The actress died at the age of 90 from natural causes in October 2018.
