Soapy Sunday: Mike C. Manning on Days of Our Lives (2021)

Days of Our Lives got Mike C. Manning out of his shirt again this week. With his secret crimes beginning to come to light around him, his character Charlie looked to solidify his romance with Claire during the January 7th episode. The two headed towards having sex, just as Charlie's mother Ava was being rescued from captivity in his apartment, and as the truth about his familial connection to his half-brother Tripp was coming to light, placing him on the rape suspect list. He ditched his shirt as the two got intimate in Claire's bedroom, only to be quickly interrupted by Ben (played by Rob Wilson) who was assisting Claire's grandmother Marlena in finding Claire to get her away from Charlie. This was as close as Rob has come to a shirtless scene since his last back in August.
