I was thinking more of the original cast members, so I stand corrected 🙂 Prinz did leave the show early on but did come back for sporadic appearances and all the same, she's 94 and I wish her good health.

How about Rosemary Prinz?

A true legend and a signature figure in the history of soaps - R.I.P.

R.I.P. What a legend, and such a versatile actress. Loved her supporting (but nuanced and unforgettable) role in "I Never Sang for My Father."

Test:

Tonya spoke frankly too about her experience at Carnegie Mellon and why she left - I'm thinking of two other ATWT alums who also went there: Judith McConnell and Ming Na Wen.

It was interesting to hear Tonya's perspective on Marland's tenure, but too bad Alan didn't delve a bit more into her comment that it made for a tense environment - that TPTB was paying attention to actors' life off-stage and incorporating that into the show. I heard it more broadly as affecting other stories as well.

Andy Dixon (ATWT) was briefly paired up with school friend Kathy Evans, who had a drinking problem and got him into drinking as well. I don't remember all the details, but Kathy got depressed and overdosed and almost killed herself. That episode coincided with Kim's "Patterns" TV talk show that discussed this social problem and ended with a PSA.

The debut novel of Greta Lind (AMC - Kate Kennicott) "Split Open" came out earlier this year and a few of her close friends held a virtual launch party on Zoom that is now available on YouTube. There was a brief mention of her time on AMC and castmate Michael Brainard (AMC - Joey Martin) showed up also. (The two reunited recently in a 13-episode podcast/drama-series called The Ernie Pyle Experiment that Michael wrote, co-produced, and starred in. It was a finalist in the 2021 Audie Award of the Audio Publishers Association, Drama category.)

She was such a talented actress - R.I.P.

I'll have to look up that movie then. I was familiar with Prof. Ben on Queer as Folk. Then last weekend in a rerun of Friends I realized that this boyfriend of Phoebe's is the same guy... I do recall also his sporadic appearances on Y&R.

This might be stretching it - how about Robert Gant - David Sherman in Y&R, son of Katherine's lawyer (Mitchell). Quite a few nighttime serials and also cable Queer as Folk.

ITA! Such easy chemistry among the 3 of them after all these years - memorable, vivid details from their reminiscence. Glad to hear about Marland and Calhoun, and grateful that Scott talked about Liz Hubbard and Gregg about Eileen.

Bailey Chase (ex-Chris, ATWT) was on CBS S.W.A.T. last night (season 3, episode 18).

^ I remember that about Bob! Larry Bryggman also went through phases of mustache. Oddly enough I'm somewhat neutral about him with or without it.
