I wonder about his detective novel. Was it ever published?

Ted Tinling was a wonderful actor, and Vic Lamonte was a great character. He should never have been killed off the show, but that is something for which Henry Slesar was noted. He liked to break up some of the characters who were seemingly meant for each other. He broke up Laurie/Vic and Steve/Deborah on The Edge of Night and also Tony/Jill on Somerset.

I can't find anything online, unless it was published under another name.

What do you think they could have done with Vic if he'd stayed?

What did you think about Johnny and Laurie?

Actor Bob Hastings has passed away.

His brother, Don Hastings, played Jack Lane on The Edge of Night.

Actor Michael Maitland played Tommy Hatcher. His storyline was with Geri Pollock (Millee Taggart). I am not quite certain what the connection with Geri was. She lived in the house with the dumb waiter with him. Two actors played his father, Byron Stewart and John Cullum. Elizabeth Lawrence played the housekeeper. The storyline had something to do with spies, but I honestly do not remember the specifics.

Mr. Maitland was also on Broadway in Mame (this was probably the role created by Frankie Thomas of As the World Turns) and The Rothchilds (which, I believe, had Hal Linden of Search for Tomorrow and Caroline McWilliams of The Guiding Light and Another World).

He was also on Dark Shadows and Search for Tomorrow.

He later had a successful career in the restaurant and catering business before being struck with cancer.

He passed away on April 23, 2014.

Correction from the above post: Michael Maitland did NOT play the same role in Mame that Frankie Thomas played. They were two different roles, with the one played by Frankie Thomas being the larger, Emmy-winning role.

Also in Mame with him was Diana Walker (As the World Turns, Dark Shadows, Where the Heart Is).

The picture quality is terrible, but this has Irving Allen Lee as a doctor.

Interesting - I never thought Irving Allen Lee was on another soap after Ryan's Hope.

The legendary Elaine Stritch, who played Mrs. DeGroot on The Edge of Night, has passed away at the age of 89.

This is such a loss. I loved Elaine Stritch

Sharon Gabet has posted many of her own BTS photos of her time on EON on her FB page. They are all delightful, especially one where she and several of the show's males are all lounging around on one bed during a break. (Larkin Malloy is seated at her left holding up an issue of Playgirl that belonged to Sharon. LOL!!)

The stories she's sharing are awesome too. She posted a great pic from 1979 when Logan, Raven, Nicole, and Miles headed to some country retreat. Joe Lambie (Logan) rearranged the letters on the hotel sign so that the hotel's name was quite bawdy.

[amybrickwallace]

Yup, and they all put on totally innocent faces. LOL

Does anyone know what Tony Craig and Terry Davis are up to these days?

Tony Craig's company:

He sells vintage sports cards.

As for Terry Davis, I think she was a in a web series a few years ago.
