Members Vee Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 My greatest fear was that Phil Carey would get Anna Lee'd, and that they would eventually shuffle him off to Buffalo like Dena Higley had planned for Asa in multiple abortive, extremely perfunctory and insulting exits. I was pleased when the writers took a bad situation that came from above them and used Phil's exit to honor Asa's memory, as they continue to do today: His legacy, and his powerful spirit, is felt every day the Buchanans appear. He wasn't put in the corner and forgotten. He was enshrined. Phil Carey meant so much to me as a younger fan. He was a grandfatherly rock, full of passion and fire and you knew when he got mad it meant something, and you were usually with him even when he did wrong. I loved him desperately.

Members Quent Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 It's funny. I just saw an old "All In The Family" episode where Archie thinks Meathead's effeminate friend (Tony Geary) is gay. But it turns out to be Archie's old army buddy, played by Phil Carey. I guess Phil played the first gay character on a TV show ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
