How Were Frankie Brady And Carly Manning Related On Days Of Our Lives?

Frankie Brady, played by Billy Warlock, was a young man taken in by the Brady family in 1986 (via Soap Central). Frankie and his brother Max were on the run from Max's abusive father, and later the Bradys official adopted them both. As a young adult, Frankie met Jennifer Horton (then Melissa Reeves) and fell head over heels in love with her. However, Jennifer was a young woman with many problems. Although she and Frankie did begin dating, she decided to end their relationship when she learned that schizophrenia ran deep in her family history. She was adamant about not passing the condition on to any future children and decided that she was better off letting Frankie go. Frankie later moved on to Eve Donovan (then Charlotte Ross) before leaving Salem.

However, Frankie returned years later and reconnected with Jennifer. The two even got back together for a while before Jennifer broke Frankie's heart yet again by reuniting with her husband, Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford). While Frankie felt at home in Salem with the Bradys, information about his biological family was later revealed.
