In 1986, Billy Warlock made his Days of Our Lives debut as Frankie Brady (originally known as Frankie Donner). Prior to his stint in Salem, Warlock had played Ricky Driscoll on Capitol in 1984. Frankie's pairing with Melissa Reeves's Jennifer was a hit, and Warlock remained with the show until 1987, returning from 1990-91 and then again from 2005-06. In his original stint, Frankie (along with his little brother, Max) were adopted by Shawn and Caroline Brady. When the character was reintroduced in 1990, it was revealed that Frankie was actually Francois Van Leuschner, the brother of Katerina Von Leuschner, better known as Carly Manning.

In 2007, Days of Our Lives’s Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) asked Belle Black (Martha Madison) to marry him. The lovebirds were on the beach and Belle commented on the sparkling water. Shawn slyly inquired as to whether the water was as sparkly as what he had — then displayed a diamond ring and popped the question!
