Members detroitpiston Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 I thought about this post when I woke up this morning and it made me even more sad. Having the shows still around always softens the blows of deaths like these because we usually get a tribute episode where we get to kind of get out the mourning but with AMC gone we won't even get that.

Members All My Shadows Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 I think Adam's death would have been a huge storyline all on its own, setting up lots of new dynamics. His departure in 2010 gave us several good months of the JR/Scott/Annie/Marissa stuff. Now that it's a few years later, there's no telling what the set-up would be like.

Members watson71 Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 Canary was a great actor on both AMC and AW. While he was playing Steve Frame, Canary made the most of the material given to him, even though TPTB tried to recreate the Rachel/Steve/Alice triangle with two of the three characters being recasts. Had the show lured Jacqueline Courtney (Alice) back to the show earlier, the triangle probably would have worked with Canary playing Steve. One by one all of the great soap actors are passing on. With the exception of William Gray Espy (Mitch Blake), all of the leading men who acted with Victoria Wyndham's Rachel are gone: Douglas Watson (Mac), David Bailey (Russ), George Reinholt (Steve), Charles Keating (Carl), and now Canary. RIP Mr. Canary- you were one of the greats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Roman Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 Gonna miss this artist. Not actor, but artist. Some of the best artists I have seen came from daytime soaps. Bless his wonderful soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 I don't think I would want the 2015 AMC doing a tribute. All the people Adam interacted with would be long gone by now except for Erica, Tad and Dixie. I remember the Palmer tribute and they had that woman crashing the wake to talk about what a great dancer Palmer was. Did they even know each other, why was she there? I don't think I need to watch mystery people I am not familiar with discussing their retconned closeness with Adam. This is a a job for Youtube.

Members sivad40 Posted November 25, 2015 Members Share Posted November 25, 2015 RIP to Mr. David Canary. I loved and enjoyed both of your characters. This past summer I watched all of the episodes on Youtube that Adam and Stuart was involved in in the late 80s and early to mid 90s. Storylines such as Laura's death, Cindy and Stuart getting married, Cindy's death, Brooke/Adam, Dixie/Adam, Hayley pointing the gun at Adam, Gloria/Adam, Who poisoned Adam, etc. The relationships he had with his children and the women he loved were complex and layered. In a way I wished we had a tribute episode to remember DC but we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 26, 2015 Members Share Posted November 26, 2015 Wow, even James Fitzpatrick. How random. My opinion of ABC Daytime is so low I didn't even expect them to issue a statement. I'm glad they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mr. sweet Posted November 26, 2015 Members Share Posted November 26, 2015 He was such a great actor, as Adam and Stuart. I remember watching AMC as a kid and loving to hate Adam. Extraordinary actor. I was always floored by how well he played these two very different characters. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
