WOW, this is devastating. I have barely processed the news of Clint Ritchie's passing, which was so unexpected for me to hear, and though I knew Phil Carey was fighting cancer for a long time, and I somewhat expected this, I didn't expect it NOW, so soon after the news about Clint Ritchie. This is just devastating. I have no other words for this.

My heart goes out to his family, and especially Bob Woods and Erika Slezak, they must be having so many strong emotions right now.

Wasn't Erika the last person to act opposite Phil Carey, in the episode where Viki went to Heaven? Everything else has been done through Asa's video wills, hasn't it? Or did Bob Woods get scenes with Carey at the end of 1968?

This is from Navell (Lee) at Daytime Royalty:

"After just learning that Clint Richie, formerly Clint Buchanan on One Life to Live, had passed away on January 31, 2009, I have just come to learn that Phil Carey, who played his on-screen father, Asa, has also passed on. Erin Torpery confirmed the information to JoAnn, host of Stardish Radio, no more than 20 minutes ago. No information is out at this time. "

Damn. I read this at another site and thought it was idle gossip at this point...

Lung cancer is generally not surviveable, it is only at matter of time..

I have found from knowing people affected (relatives of theirs) that older patients seem to hang on longer than younger ones.

I am not a doctor, but Phil battled this for a few years.

In all honesty I have been dreading this but figured it would be coming.

Phil Carey was such a presence- and I will never forget him.

My favorite Phil moments were always hearing him say Carlo HES-SA!

Clint and Phil- Hope you guys are enjoying a few beers wherever you guys are.

And end of an era.

    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
