I will also dearly miss ESS. He was a find whether he was a gay character or not!

As much as ESS as a gay doc plays into every soap fantasy I've ever had, I'd love to see him play a straight romance either in daytime or primetime.

But... Rehearsals begin soon! ...A new NY musical! ...SUMMER STOCK NYC!! ...Details later! I am an unemployed actor for the first time in 32 years... what a wonderful run it was!!!!

Good to see Larry Bryggman there smiling.

I wonder if we'll ever know who was/wasn't asked back and who refused.

It would be a crying shame if Patricia Bruder,Anne Sward and others were willing to return but weren't approached.

Cady looked dreadful.
