Members allmc2008 Posted November 18, 2013 Members Share Posted November 18, 2013 Damn. You often don't think of these things. I fear the day Susan Lucci, Robin Strasser, and Erika Slezak dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 18, 2013 Members Share Posted November 18, 2013 Talk about end of an era. Between the jump to a rival soap and the free speaking to the soap press (when it was still an actual press), Reinholt, along with Jacquie Courtney, broke the rules for what soap actors were supposed to be and do. He was an incredibly intense, charismatic performer in a way many men on soaps had not been before him, and many would never be since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 18, 2013 Members Share Posted November 18, 2013 As melodramatic as these scenes were, I thought Steve's ghost scenes for AW's 25th anniversary were very touching. I'm glad Reinholt and AW made amends enough to do these. I think they're a nice goodbye. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djW63yz95G4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nseAo_cr3bY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beebs Posted November 18, 2013 Members Share Posted November 18, 2013 He's so THEATRICAL in those scenes. He isn't bad, on the contrary, I find him far better than that awful greenscreening they had them in. There's a bizarre earnestness he has there that transcends his over-the-top-ness. He will really be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cassadine1991 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2013 Wow.. Tony and Viki (wasn't he older than Viki), and OG Dorian.. Too bad Tony and.Meredith were rarely mentioned during the later years I wonder why he never got work in the 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted November 18, 2013 Members Share Posted November 18, 2013 I thought he was a very intense and compelling actor to watch, especially as Steve Frame. It felt like he believed every word he was saying. LOL, don't know if it was quite the case BTS but I do know that he and Courtney fought for what they believed was their characters' integrity.

Members SFK Posted November 18, 2013 Members Share Posted November 18, 2013 I really, truly hope that his last years were filled with some degree of happiness in spite of his illness and other personal woes. He made a couple of appearances on talk/entertainment news shows that made me feel so sad for him, true, "There but for the grace of God go I" moments as an artist with uneven employment myself. God bless him. I've enjoyed what little of his work that there is left to be seen. He tried to get back into daytime maybe two decades ago, and I recall that he had a phone conversation around that time with Robin Strasser. She said something to the effect of, "You know they think you're nuts", et cetera, and that he should just own that and approach his reentry into daytime riding on the strength of his work. I really wish that he could have made one more splash. Maybe as a very alive Steve or Tony, or even as one of Erica's many paramours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted November 18, 2013 Members Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'm very sad to hear this. He was one of my favorite soap actors. Loved the Steve/Alice/Rachel triangle. I even followed him and Jacquie to One Life to Live for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
