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.

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).

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!!)

    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
