Members ChitHappens Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 I woke up thinking about this tremendous loss DC's portrayal of Adam Chandler will always be one of the greatest villains ever! David had the best hair. It was always laid. Il Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jo.frank88 Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 My condolences to the Canary family and All My Children family. I watched the final months of ABC's All My Children and I clearly remember Canary being a great actor in those final months. I also know that he was a classic soap icon. Not just if AMC but to all of our soaps. A true legend. May he rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 He also had a good physique for a man his age. I think it was Cameron Mathison who said that DC had even some of the younger men beat in that department. Which is why his death probably comes as a shock to so many.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 Instead of showing a current GH episode, couldn't ABC show a classic AMC episode featuring Canary's work? Too bad SoapNet is not around these days to air some type of tribute. I didn't grow up watching AMC, but even I knew who David Canary was. It just seems like ABC Daytime should do something for an actor who netted them so many Emmys and accolades. R.I.P. to a great actor and portrayer of a lasting daytime character, two, really.

Members SFK Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 Cameron and Mr. Canary were birthday buddies, something I've always remembered because I also share that day with them. I idolized the man, so many priceless memories. One of my earliest memories of DC on AMC was Stuart sneaking out of a secret passage and cracking a vase over Ellen's skull. She literally didn't know what hit her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 Frankly, we'll be lucky if TV Land airs a "Bonanza" marathon of Candy-centric episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 Adam and Brooke had such amazing chemistry. I'm glad the show ended with them together. Have we heard anything from Julia Barr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 Honestly, I do think that FV has a mix of nostalgia and respect for classic ABC daytime (I'm not looking for an argument, you know what I mean) that he of all EPs would consider dedicating an episode to DC. Such might be deemed "inappropriate"/"confusing", but I think it would be a classy move. I actually sat through The View today hoping they might pay him tribute.

Members cct Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 I am not sure what I could say on this topic to truly express the (odd) feelings I have regarding DC's passing. Odd, because I never knew him, truly. I only knew the characters he portrayed, Adam and Stuart Chandler. Odd, yet, here I sit, heart heavy, eyes misty. Because he was one of my "family." My grandmother and mother watched All My Children as I grew up. After I had become a serious watcher, it took me a few months, but I realized I was watching for Adam; a feeling I so keenly noticed when he was gone that final network year. He not only gave us two vastly different characters in Adam and Stuart, but he also constantly found new layers inside each of them. He was AMC's "JR Ewing," but he was so much more as Adam. "Blast it, woman!" He was AMC's naive innocent, but he found the depths of Stuart as more than just a simpleton. He was a constant presence on the show, if not front and center, ranting and raving in the background; pleading with Brooke, arguing with Hayley, sparring with Palmer, flirting with Erica. Like one of the family. Like soaps are meant to be. Family. This is what current soap-makers do not get. We aren't passing down the soaps, as from my grandmother to my mother to me. Odd, because when AMC left, part of my "family" left too. These actors/characters in this genre have such a peculiar role they play in our lives. Seemingly a friend, but oddly, no. Mr. Canary had a sense of this, as he so eloquently said in that first Emmy video above. Such a master as an actor. Such a class act as a human being. He will be missed, yes, but it is the passing of our "family" that I equally miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
