Soapy Sunday: Mike C. Manning on Days of Our Lives (2020)

Mike C. Manning came aboard Days of Our Lives in 2020 as the mysterious Charlie. Over the course of the year, it's been revealed that he's the secret half-brother of Tripp (played by Lucas Adams) and the perpetrator behind the baby-producing rape of Allie which is being pinned on his DNA-sharing brother. The December 28th episode found his current love interest Claire showing up at his apartment, looking to pass along a Christmas gift. This led to a gratuitous shirtless scene as Claire demanded he try on his new shirt immediately. Seeing him without his shirt led her to suggest they head to his bedroom, though Charlie shut that down, given that he was hiding his abducted mother in the apartment.
