‘Days of Our Lives’ makers are currently treating their fans to interesting surprises. Recently, charming actor, Dick Van Dyke made an exciting debut on the Peacock soap, and viewers enjoyed every bit of it.
The 97-year-old indeed brought more life to our screens. However, he didn’t arrive alone on DOOL. Dick’s character came alongside a police officer, who escorted him to the hospital.
He also had a companion accompanying him to the sets, and this person is very close to him – closer than you can imagine.
‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Who Is Dick Van Dyke’s Officer Silver?
During the recent DOOL episode, Jada and another police officer brought the mystery man in to the hospital, and when Kayla wanted to wheel him inside, the mystery character cheekily asked if “Officer Silver” could keep him company.
During that scene, we saw the patient light-heartedly flirting with the officer, and she appeared rather comfortable with his incessant flirting.
One would agree that they shared some chemistry. The indeed do share some chemistry, and there is a good reason behind it.
The actress who portrays officer Silver on ‘Days of Our Lives’ actually happens to be actor, Dick Van Dyke’s real-life wife! Dyke and his make-up artist wife, Arlene, have a 46-year age difference.
The couple have been together for more than a decade and a half. They met in 2006 for the first time and then they got married in February 2012.
Their fans know that Dyke loves taking the age difference in his stride and making jokes about it. The actor even addressed her as his “child bride” on Oprah’s show.
He said, “She’s made me the happiest man in the world. Our life is so good together” on the show. Hopefully, we get to see more sweet scenes of the real-life couple on Days of Our Lives.
