Stephen Nichols Biography

stephen nichols
  • Birth Place: Cincinnati, OH
  • Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign: 02/19/1951, Pisces
  • Profession: Actor; director
With his athletic build, perpetual facial hair and mysterious air, this stage-trained actor has thrived in soaps since the '80s. After a handful of TV spots, Nichols landed his career-making Days of our Lives role as an infamous, eye-patch-sporting hunk (nicknamed "Patch," of course). He left the show in 1990 and began popping up in prime time with recurring roles on Empty Nest and the short-lived drama Second Chances. But in 1996 he returned to his daytime roots and spent seven years as an evil CEO on General Hospital. In 2006, 16 years after his character was ostensibly killed, an amnesia-stricken Patch came back to Days. Off screen, Nichols is married with three children — his daughter Vanessa and son Aaron (as Patch in flashbacks) both appeared with him on Days back in the 80's — and provides the voice for many IKEA commercials.
