I only remember him as Tina's "father" on OLTL. I checked the years of his appearances:

Rick Oliver, EON (1966)

Nick Kane, TSS (1968-1970)

Ross Cavanaugh, SFT (1970-1971)

Robert Jardin, WTHI (1972)

Ted Chandler, LOL (1974-1975)

Alex McDaniels, GL (1976)

Ralph Mitchell, ATWT (1977-1979)

Ted Clayton, OLTL (1980-1981)

Frank Nelson, GL (1981)

Brandon Spaulding, GL (1984)

Homer Dowd, RH (1986-1989)

A 23-year-old career. Rest in peace Mr Charles.

Indeed, may he rest in peace.

I too only remember him (vaguely) as Tina's father. I believe he was in an ep shown at WoST from that time period.

So I'm assuming he was the actor who played Brandon Spaulding in flashbacks/old age makeup with Sharina during the Barbados s/l. Someone once wrote on a message board how Brandon and Sharina died in a very touching, romantic way within days of one another, and I wish I could remember the details. It was reminiscent of AW's Therese Lamonte (Nancy Marchand) passing away on Iris' terrace after singing Bye Bye Blackbird.
