Soap Star Attacked, Decks Obsessed Fan

TMZ has obtained a restraining order filed by veteran "Days of Our Lives" actor Drake Hogestyn against a man he says assaulted him in his home on New Year's Eve, and "physically tried to exorcise the devil from me."

Hogestyn, who has played John Black on NBC's "Days" for over 20 years, says he was with his family in the backyard of their Malibu home when Carl Raymond Cheney of Portland, OR came onto his property and ran at his daughter carrying a bible screaming "Where is he? I will cast him out!" Hogestyn says Cheney was "calling me by my stage name... recalling past storylines, especially the demonic possession of several years past. But more important, he thought I was dead, because the show that aired on Friday 12.29.06 left my character John Black shot & presumed dead."

Hogestyn, who was on a ladder painting his house, says Cheney grabbed and pushed his wife backwards on their patio stairs. At that time, Hogestyn "grabbed him by the hair, spun him around, delivered a right cross to the chin that sent him down the stairs." According to the restraining order the struggle continued for 10 minutes until Hogestyn and his 25-year-old son Ben were able to subdue Cheney by duct-taping the intruder's hands and feet until police arrived.

Cheney was transported to the L.A. County Jail where he is still in custody on $150,000 bail. According to the court documents, a map with directions from Portland to Hogestyn's home were found in the front seat of Cheney's car.

What the ****!? :eek: :shocked:

Sure are some weird-ass people in the world. At least nobody was hurt.

Gee, and we thought that only Stevie had some weird fans. Actually a co-worker was telling me today that she had heard something about this while we were watching "Days" at lunchtime. It just strikes me as odd how that guy found Drake's home because he would of have to known his real name. You might think he could figure out that he was just an actor playing a role.:shrug:

whew! I thought this may be about Zarf on All My Children (he's causing quite a stir). glad it's not. I mean, I hate this happened to this guy too, but I'd die if any of my "chirrens" were assaulted.

I bet Stefano was behind it.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I haven't watched all week. I'm sure I'm waaaay behind!

That is the funniest line of the week as far as I'm concerned! :lol:

I figured it would be Dierdre Hall who had the wacky stalker DUDE, not Drake...although, he's total hotness.

It's this type of stuff that prevents alot of reasonable sane fans from meeting stars they admire.:mad:

I used to have such the hots for Draky Hogestyn...now? Not so much..that "john Black" look is just too much for me....y'all know what I'm talking about :laugh:

I read this story...there sure are some kooky people out there...

I used to watch Days of Our Lives about 12 years ago. I turned it on a year or two ago and...good lord, the show is a joke. Marlena found out she was pregnant, and I thought...this woman is 60 years old...don't they have menopause in Salem? I mean, she was well over 40 the last time they knocked her up on that show. Good grief. And then the whole town was murdered by a serial killer, but later it was revealed that none of them were really dead, but were sent to some island that was made to look exactly like Salem. Who the hell comes up with this ****??

I can't imagine what's going on now. Is Alice Horton still alive? She must be 100 by now.

I KNOW! I tuned in semi-recently as well and was just highly amused....the last time I watched consistently though things were already getting way stupid - Marlena was possessed by Satan - then there was something to do with a chip being implanted into people by Stefano...it was bizarre - and it's even worse now from what I hear.

Yep, this is why Stevie avoids us! :lol:

This actor is a badass. He clocked him, sent him flying down the stairs, then duct taped his hands and feet? Damn, the guy picked the wrong actor. Who says soap stars are p-words? :lol:

:lol: I used to watch too but stopped watching at least 10 years ago becuase the plot line had gotten so ridiculous. John black was actually Roman at one point and then I lost track. I don't watch any soaps at all now.

Oh, that was the only one I ever watched. I'm over TV in general.

Well, that idiot writer who came up with those awful storylines (Marlena is the devil, the island, and the salem stalker) and all that rubish has been fired and the old head writer has returned from the "hey day" of Bo-Hope, Patch/Steve-Kayla, and all those lovely relationships! That's why those older actors are back and Stefano is back! WOOHOO! :]

Now, as for Alice Horton...she is indeed alive and relatively well. She was in the "decorate the Christmas tree" episode the other day with old-timers Doug and Julie! She is the matriarch of the show...so the loss of her be sad. It was sad enough to see Jennifer-Jack leave for London! All because Melissa Reeves wanted to leave the show...pooey on her. :mad: And Jack went to all that trouble to live through at least 5 of his 9 lives! :lol:
