Fans and former costars have been mourning the recent death of Drake Hogestyn, who, since 1986, had played John Black on the long-running soap Days of Our Lives. Hogestyn died on Saturday following a battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 70, just one day before his birthday.

While discussing her next film, This Time Each Year (premiering Thursday, Oct. 24 at 8pm EST on Hallmark Mystery), former Days of Our Lives costar Alison Sweeney teared up remembering her onscreen stepdad.
