Luckily I was watching some parts of OLTL today and I saw like 2 of his scenes. I kinda teared up as I watched him with Renee, Nora, and Clint at the Buchanan residence. Such an icon. I'll always remember when I first saw the cantankerous bastard on screen during the whole Todd versus Max over Blair thing. So full of strenght and life then and to see him now was kinda saddening. But I'm glad he was at least a major part of this episode.

I forget how they explained his leaving since I was watching ATWT also. Is he moving to another country with Renee?

There will be no explanation on screen concerning Asa's departure. Phil Carey's contract expired before they could film exit scenes for him.

I'm not entirely sure that today was for sure his last airdate though. It probably was, but I'm not completely convinced he won't pop up once or twice more before he leaves.

OLTL still hopes he will reconsider, but Phil Carey has made it quite clear that he will not work without a contract. Carey turns 82 on July 15th, the same day as the OLTL's 39th anniversary. He battled lung cancer last year, and took a medical leave from the show while undergoing chemo.
