Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers indicate that life can sometimes imitate art in the land of soaps. This was sort of the case when it came to actor Eric Martsolf and the naming of his children.
Martsolf, who plays Brady Black on the soap, recently took part in a SOD regular column, called, ‘Actor Roundup’.
It’s an article where the online mag asks daytime drama stars a question, and they reveal their answers.
The question SOD asked sudsy stars this time around was, “What Is A Name You Loved, But Didn’t Use For Your Children”?
Martsolf offered an interesting and unexpected answer. He notes that he and his wife, Lisa Kouchak, once had a chat about what they would name their kids.
Martsolf noted how fun it would be to name a son of his, ‘Brady’ after his DOOL character.
Lisa wasn’t exactly a fan of the idea, but she did offer up another suggestion.
She always liked the name ‘Jagger’, a fondness she developed thanks to General Hospital’s (GH) Jagger Cates character.
While she enjoyed watching Jagger when Antonio Sabato Jr. was in the role during the early ‘90s and 2008, GH fans know that the character was recast in 2024 and played by actor Adam J. Harrington, until John “Jagger” Cates met his demise some months later when he was shot by Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
Martsolf went on to jokingly say that he told his wife he wasn’t exactly happy with the idea of naming a son of his after another soap character on a different show; especially one that she liked a lot more.
Martsolf and Lisa tied the knot in October 2003 and welcomed twin boys, Chase Evan and Mason Alan in 2006.
With that said, Eric also stated in the article that marriage and compromise go hand-in-hand, so while they didn’t name any children after the GH character, they did end up using the name ‘Jagger’ – for their dog!
It’s probably a good idea that the couple decided against using Jagger or Brady as a name for their boys, considering the bad luck both characters have endured on canvas.
Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest that Brady’s life will continue to get complicated as he looks to explore a romance with Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) this fall and winter, while his over-the-top ex and baby momma, Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) stands in their way.
