Lynn Herring’s face is one that fans of daytime television should know well.
Years later, she brought the character to the show’s sister soap, “Port Charles.”
Along with working in the soap world, Herring is also married to another soap veteran, Wayne Northrop.
The couple have had a decades-long romance after a chance meeting in 1980.
They eventually tied the knot in 1981, and have two sons together, Hank and Grady.
On the show, she played a mysterious character who met a tragic end.
Although they didn’t have many scenes together, Herring’s character of Lisanne Gardner was a memorable one.
According toSoaps, Lisanne was a lawyer in Salem.
She met her demise after a blackmail attempt against Vivian Alamain.
Vivian was the adoptive mother of Nicholas “Nikki” Alamain.
This caused her to hit her head and die.
Lisanne wasn’t around Salem for too long, and that was apparently Herring’s decision.
What’s Lynn Herring doing today?
However, “Days of Our Lives” didn’t forget about her.
Instead, the show wanted to bring Herring back as a totally different character.
Herring admitted that under normal circumstances she would have seriously considered heading back to Salem.
However, at the time, she was grieving the cancelation of soap opera “Port Charles.”
“‘DAYS’ was very, very kind to me.
However, her heart just wasn’t in it.
Instead, she opted to eventually return to “General Hospital.”
In addition to her acting career, Herring and her husband Wayne Northrop keep themselves busy.
The couple own and operate the Raymond Historical Museum in Raymond, California (viaCharity Buzz).
Of course, fans likely won’t forget her portrayal of Lisanne Gardner anytime soon.
