Tamara (Marilyn McCoo) sang their song, "Up Where We Belong," during the ceremony. "Up Where We Belong" was sung at Roman and Marlena's first wedding in 1984 by Doug Williams (Bill Hayes), when Wayne Northrop was in his first run as the original Roman. Josh Taylor played their friend Chris Kositchek, one of Roman's groomsmen in the ceremony. Eventually Hogestyn was revealed to be John Black when Northrup returned as Roman. Northrop left the show again then returned later as a totally different character, Alex North. Taylor left Days and returned a decade later in 1997 as the new Roman.

Williams), Nathan Hastings and guest star Michael McDonald. That summer's teen story on Y&R revolved around two pregnant teenagers--Molly Stark (Amy O'Neill), who was befriended my Cricket (Lauralee Bell), and Molly's roommate Nina Webster (Tricia Cast)--and how they became mixed up with the evil Rose DeVille (Darlene Conley). The concert was part of the show's continuing storyline on the prevention of teen pregnancy.

In 1986, Today in Days of Our Lives History: Roman (really John Black) and Marlenaʹs anniversary (second wedding)
In 1986, “Heartbeat” album by Don Johnson was released. Was this a joke or something? Even worse, co-star Phillip Michael Thomas released an album later on, but bombed.

In 1986, The “Musicfest” rock extravaganza opened at a Montreal park. When it closed 11 days later, only 160,000 people had attended, a far cry from the 270,000 needed to break even. The festival cost more than $2 million to produce, and offered tickets for as little as $8 each. But bad weather, temperamental artists and acts ill-suited to the Quebec market combined to make the event a financial disaster. James Brown showed up five hours late for his concert because he didnʹt like the limousine sent to pick him up at the airport. James El De Barge canceled his headline show at the last minute when a truck showed up with the wrong equipment. Some critics said that acts such as Brown, “Kid Creole and the Coconuts” and “The Miami Sound Machine” were wrong for Montreal. The hits of “Musicfest” were “Huey Lewis and the News,” Elton John and the “Eurythmics.”
