The actor who played Brad also was in the first Friday The 13th released in 1980 with Kevin Bacon. Kevin was on Guiding Light at this time.

 

The 70's and 80's was a big time for men to have mustaches. Tom Selleck (Magnum P.I.), John Beck (Flamingo Road & Dallas), Lee Horsley (Matt Houston), Alex Trebek (Jeopardy), John Oates (Hall & Oates), Same Elliott (Movie Star), Burt Reynolds (Movie Star), John Stossel (20/20), Geraldo (Anchor & Talk show Host) etc etc....Baby Boomer guys were able to pull off that look, but younger generations (Gen X, Millennials, and Z) for the most can't make it work.

 

I don't think it ever worked for the guy who played Brad either...

 

I think it could work for some guys now but they are never properly maintained and they seem to be reluctant to let them grow out as much as the above guys did. Or they just want the full beard and mustache and look like they're from the Old West.

I can't imagine Michael Swan without a mustache, but IMHO the best one in soap-dom  was Joel Crothers (Edge of Night - R.I.P.) - though he was clean-shaven, I believe, in Dark Shadows.  The late Dennis Parker (Edge of Night) was another good one.  

Joel Crothers was astonishingly hot on EON with that massive stache. As someone who only knew him from DS reruns as a kid it was a jolt. Gone too soon, Daddy!

 

Spotted: Lindsay Frost (Betsy) on Shudder's The Last Drive-In weekly horror marathon, in the dreadful zombie buddy cop comedy Dead Heat with Treat Williams, Darren McGavin, Vincent Price and yes, Joe Piscopo. Her role is, uh, unique.

Michael Swan could carry it off and Parker..everything I look at him he looks like he had a sling in his apartment..but he carried it off too. I think the Dobs or whomever thought it was "mod" and masculine to have facial hair..remember for a few months Bob had a beard!! One person who needs facial hair is Justin Deas...he looked much better and was hot as Tom...as Buzz..not at all!

I agree. I think some guys could make it work if done properly as you said. Another thing that happened was the derogatory term "Pornstache" became a buzzword and if guy has a mustache now days someone will instantly hurl that insult. Comedians will often grow one to use as a cheap comedy gag like Will Ferrell etc...

I agree.The mustache suited their face.

 ^ I remember that about Bob! Larry Bryggman also went through phases of mustache.  Oddly enough I'm somewhat neutral about him with or without it.

We so have the same taste in men lol!

 

Enjoying seeing Gregg today? lol ... he's aged very very well

 

I think Locher should stick with 2/3 people. It just works so much better.

This was a great interview. Alan's interviewing skills still suck. But theses interviews work.  When the actors are totally into them. 

Edited June 19, 20205 yr by victoria foxton

Yeah, agreed.

 

Thankfully Scott, Gregg and Hillary are lively and animated and talkers. Some actors just aren't lol.

This one with Gregg, Hillary and Scott is the best one by miles. I'm loving it!

I wonder why the short term gig before the Dobsons? Was Marland slated to be the head writer. I know he started several storylines..like the Joyce return and he was getting ready for a Penny return. I wonder what might have been and why the change.

Looking at some of Joyce time on this show im really surprised they just let her go, she's apart of the great history of the show, i wonder why they just made her leave in 81.

 

Does anyone know if there was a goodbye scene for her departure?

I didn’t realize Scott Bryce’s son was a basketball prodigy. Pretty cool.
