Who Is Days Of Our Lives' Mike Horton?

Longtime "Days of Our Lives" viewers may remember the drama surrounding Mike Horton's early days. Mike's mother, Laura Horton, became pregnant after being raped by Bill Horton (via Soap Hub). At the time, she was married to Bill's brother, Mickey Horton, and passed Mike off as Mickey's son for years. As a teenager, Mike eventually learned the truth about his paternity and uncovered that Bill and Laura were having an affair. Mike eventually moved on from the shock of the situation and accepted Laura and Bill as his true family, as well as his younger sister Jennifer Horton when she was born later, per Soap Central.

During his younger years, Mike had feelings for Trish Clayton and engaged in a fling with Linda Patterson. He later fell hard for a woman named Margo Anderman, and the two got married. Sadly, Margo was later diagnosed with leukemia, which left the young couple drowning in medical bills. Margo later died from her illness, leaving Mike heartbroken. However, her death inspired Mike to go to medical school and follow the Horton tradition of becoming a doctor.
