Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 I agree 100% And yes, Agnes Nixon herself said that she wrote the scene between Joe and Billy Clyde as a favour for Ray who always wanted to be in more comedy scenes. Can anyone find the clip of his very similar character in Loving on youtube? For the life of me I can't now... Here is Baranski in a cameo as a woman from Billy's past in a 1984 AMC episode (mere weeks after she won a Tony for The Real Thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 OMG! This is awful news Poor Christine and their children When I learn they were married, it always seemed like such an odd pair, but over 30 years? That's wonderful! Billy Clyde Tuggle will always be one of the most memorable characters in Daytime history. I used to run home from school to see him and Lyman's Opal. RIP MC, my heart goes out to the family he left behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 I adored watching clips of Christine and Matthew together on AMC. I'm so sad to see the news of his passing. It was a delight to see him back on AMC again last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 So devastating. That is far too young to go. Thank god we got to see him on AMC one last time and gift us with his magic. My thoughts and prayers are with Christine and their kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ghfan89 Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 RIP. Liz Vassey commented on twitter Liz Vassey @LizVassey 2m RIP Matthew Cowles. My "All My Children" dad, an incredible actor, and lovely man. https://twitter.com/LizVassey This is a good scene with Billy Clyde and Emily Ann, where she finds out she was a product of rape and confronts him about it.

Members MontyB Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 Sad news. I loved Billy Clyde back in the day and was glad he was able to be part of the new version. My heart goes out to Christine Baranski and their family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 Another door closes on soaps' golden age. I'm glad we got to see Billy Clyde again and I'm oddly grateful for that scene where he and Dixie declared a truce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ghfan89 Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 Cady McClainVerified account @CadyMcClain @enriquevbjr @broadwayworld so sad. What a lovely man... I adored working with him last year. So kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cct Posted May 25, 2014 Members Share Posted May 25, 2014 Very upsetting to learn of this news. The storyline where he kidnapped Dixie and went over the bridge with Tad was one of the very first story lines I watched on AMC, but I remember my mother and grandmother talking about him long before.
