Though I have yet to see confirmation, Walt Willey just posted on Facebook that Larkin Malloy has passed away as a result of complications from a heart attack.

 

Update: Sharon Gabet just confirmed his passing. She's encouraging his fans to post condolences on his Facebook page.

I will always fondly remember Larkin Malloy's performance on "The Edge of Night".  He deservedly was popular for his work on that soap, a soap that I miss to this day.  

I literally gasped when I read the news.  Y'all KNOW how much I loved this man on EON, GL and AMC.  And on top of Aggie's death?  This is too much for a soap fan to take.

OMG. This is just too much. I was just literally watching Raven/Sky's arc along with Kyle/Reva clips a few days ago wondering why GL never brought Kyle back. 

 

RIP, Larkin.

I feel the same way. According to Walt Willey, he suffered a heart attack on Saturday, which I believe was his birthday. I recall people wishing him a happy birthday last week. Too sad.

I am shocked and stunned! Kyle Sampson is gone!  Loved him on Guiding Light!

Khan I thought of you immediately when this news came out. This is awful news. My main exposure would have been AMC to be honest. 

Oh for God's sake!  And on his birthday too?!  I don't know what else to say except my condolences to his loved ones and I hope he didn't suffer. P&G won't even put up some clear episodes of Edge of Night and GL online, so that...oh nevermind.

 

ETA Suddenly, I have an urge to hear the Edge of Night theme.

Oh God. How awful. What a charismatic man he was, and certainly one of the faces of the '80s for soaps. I'm so sorry for him and his friends and family and his many fans. There's been a bit of a revival of EON online in the last few years so this news must hit very hard. I hate Facebook but I think I'm going to follow Sharon's heed and leave a comment. 

What a loss! He's one of those unsung heroes who spent a decade playing several roles and gathering a following with each soap stop, a concept that is just not existent anymore in daytime. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans.

This has been a horrible year for me as a soap fan. Canary, Nixon, now Malloy.

RIP

Soooo handsome. RIP.  

Noooooooooook 😢😢😢

I have been binge watching EON the last several weeks on youtube and watched a recent interview with him. RIP.
