Sorkin entered the land of Salem in 1984, playing the wacky Calliope Jones, and was involved in some pretty over-the-top storylines.

Still, it was the way Jones beat to her own drum that had Days fans so invested in each and every one of Calliope’s moves and love stories.

She exited in 1990, but would make return visits to the town in 1992 and 2001; with a brief run in February 2006 as well as May 2010.

During her time on the show, she received four Soap Opera Digest Awards in total, as well as two Daytime Emmy nods, one in 1988 and 1989, both in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actress.
