Toups just closed the other thread on Reilly returning to Days, so yeah.

Oh. Poor Toups. :(

Just wanted to say that back in 1992, JER made Days a Must-See. I remember watching with my PACKED dorm as John Black and Marlena began their affair on the private jet that was going to spirit him out of Salem. The entire college collectively screamed. And remained glued to the show for years afterwards. A real bonding experience. I'll never forget the peeps I met there -- and the SLs on Days at the time which were absolutely, compulsively watchable. So, for that, thank you, James E. Reilly. And RIP, you rogue.

I'm sorry for the man's family, if he had any.

Wow... just wow. This is unbelievable. No matter what you thought of Reilly -- and it's certainly well known how polarizing he was -- this is still a big tragedy.

RIP. :(

This is really sad. :(

I really enjoyed his work on GL and I am keeping his family and Toups in my prayers.

Oh my God! :o I cannot believe this!

What a saddening thing. :( I feel for Toups, he loved the man and his work so much and certainly for Jim's family. :(:(:(

RIP, James E. Reilly.

Rest In Peace, Jim! You helped to make my GL great for a time and I'm grateful for that.

May God Bless him.

RIP Jim.

You gave us Lumi, and a lot of other unforgettable people and storylines, as well as some of my favorite GH moments.

Another legend lost. 2008 has been a hard hit for the daytime family. RIP James Reilly.

Well said. My thoughts and prayers to his family.
