So nice to see Felicia! And, another lovely day in the city by the bay. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!!

The privilege of watching and then sharing with you guys, who always help in filling in the blanks... and making me feel like I'm part of a community... is MINE. I thank you and all the other Bay City socialites in the topic.❤️

Oh, I can't wait to watch the next episode! As soon as my husband is free! 😊

I don't know what he has been up to, but now the fans finally have some footage of what he looks like these days. Many folks have been curious about that for years.  Remember that photo that makes the rounds every year or so?  A guy that is clearly not Tom Eplin, but somehow got labeled as Tom online years ago?  So now there is a verifiable image of him in 2025.  Although the context is tragic.

Yes, that picture that was so clearly NOT TOM! I thought it was hilarious & a friend who is a huge fan of Tom's used to make fun of it regularly referring to it as the "Cali-notTom-guy", etc. I'm sure I could do a Bing Image search & find NotTom now - but, I won't.  

Anyway, I am wondering if this means Tom's homeless. I do so hate that this has happened to him. A friend who lives in Palm Springs (and he & his husband are safe) sent me the link & I'm so glad he did. Of course, I hate it for everyone who is hit with it whether we know who they are or not.

I wonder who different ones of us think they/we are friends of! Do some consider themselves Rachel's friend? Or Felicia's? Or Vicky's?

BTW, in your current/newest AW sig picture, Carmen's Iris is looking particularly fetching! Really such a sexy, alluring look, maybe it's something in her eyes as she gazes longingly at Michael?!

She really was stunning! ❤️The outfit and everything about her was prime 80s! I want to see this level of glamour these days! I'm tired of seeing people in sweatshirts and jeans. 

 

We are watching right now... and Woof what a man Michael Hudson is. That smile! Iris has a great taste!

Does anyone know what Tom Eplin has been doing for the last 20 years or so since leaving ATWT?

From the looks of things: turning himself into Grandpa Walton.

What a scene! The dialogue! The acting... Everything! The nuances... Ah! We will never see daytime drama of this caliber ever again.

He looked like a normal 64 year old man to me who was standing outside after losing everything he owned in a fire.

I agree!  I don't think in this moment... I can even focus on appearance. This man and his family are in survival mode. I am going to pray for them. This is a horrible tragedy. Just horrible.

And trying to comfort his SO.

Where are you guys seeing that that's Tom Eplin in the news story? I'm not doubting it and it does look like an older version of him but I didn't see his name anywhere.

He wasn't named. A friend sent me the link, someone who worked with Tom on AW. He knew that Tom lived in that area & that it was Tom.

He looks exactly like an older Eplin to me and the voice confirms it.

Eddie found this, he said by accident. At DAYS both Jamey & Ron love to do this kind of in-joke referential stuff!
