I was watching TGL in the 1960s, and at that time, I felt that Gentry fit the role of Ed quite well. Later, however, Hulswit added so much more depth, warmth, and substance to the role, and I was never able to accept any other actor in the part. I tried to accept Gentry again when he returned to the show years later, but he was too brusque and cold as Ed. Simon was too morose and listless. Van Fleet was too modelish and Chuck Tylery. The show failed big time by ever dismissing Hulswit, who could and should have become the show's touchstone after Charita Bauer passed away and Don Stewart was fired.

Yes, Chris Evans is delicious with or without clothing.

While technically a good actor, Peter Simon was always so morose and listless as Ed. The warmth, humor, and passion of Hulswit's portrayal was gone. And bringing back Peggy to stir some complicated feelings of jealousy in Holly would have been great.

Seriously, watching Chris Evans work a tight T-shirt is better than most porn, LOL!

Chris Evan owns this T-shirt. And this one. This guy fills out a shirt nicely as well. And this guy is just darned adorable! Not to mention....

I suppose you are going to want Jamie Dornan, too, LOL.

Well, yes, that too.

This thread always brightens my day. Nick Jonas: love the pants. Jamie Dornan: love the underwear. Henry Cavill: love the smile. Anonymous: love the view.

I loved Holly with Mart Hulswit's Ed, and would have happily accepted them as an enduring couple. I also adored Roger with Peggy , who brought out some vulnerability in him, and would have accepted them as a long-term couple as well.

He could shave, and...voila!

I daresay this is EVERYONE'S type of guy.

Oh no, Thursday has been deleted!

OMG, `Sunday`is adorable!!!

I must admit that I love bubble butts.

Wish granted. Never say that I am not generous with you!

Wow, what a view!

The article was incorrect. PFS was NOT a writer on DAYS from its 1965 debut. William J. Bell arrived in 1966, and he hired Smith after that.

Sooooooooo cute and hot! If only I were 22 again!

Very lickable, those abs. (Good grief, did I say that aloud?!?) Oh well, we're among friends here.

I think it was in a 1974 interview entitled "A Pleasant Little Kingdom," in Daily TV Serials, that Jacquie Courtney talked about having kinescopes made of important episodes featuring Alice. She did not specifically mention what ones she had kept, but that famous Rachel/Alice confrontation at the engagement party would seem to be a no-brainer. It was a captivating moment in the show's history (I remember being glued to my set while watching it air), and really revved the Alice/Steven/Rachel triangle into high gear. It's an episode *I* would keep.

Thank you. Even if fans never get to see copies of Courtney's vintage kinescopes, it would be nice to know that those rare episodes still exist safely with her her family members. Jennifer could probably make a lot of money by auctioning copies off on eBay, if she did not think the idea was too gauche. I'll bet Courtney would have gotten a kick out the the continued interest and affection fans have for her.

Jacquie Courtney was only 19 when that commercial aired, but already she had great poise and charisma. I'll bet her daughter will love seeing it, if she has not done so already. You know, many years ago, Courtney said in a magazine interview that she had had personal kinescopes made of many of her favorite scenes or episodes of AW. I'd be curious if they still exist somewhere. I'd hope the family would keep them. If you get a chance and do not think it is a pushy question, perhaps you could ask Jennifer about the existence of these kinescopes. No one else in the world would have them!

Wow, that Tammy commercial really is a great find!

Yes, that is Michael Storm.
