I use to love the way Lucinda/Liz Hubbard would say Ambrosssssssssssssss....you knew she loved working with him.

Are we sure about Lachalan? I've had the pleasure of talking to Lachlan on social media and he is a very nice guy besides being very good looking.

Yeah, Mark LaMura would be a surprise, but, of course, you never know. I’m sure some of us have heard off-the-record stories from people in the industry about stars you’d never guess would be gay or have dabbled. But I just wouldn’t want to speculate here, especially if someone is living a publicly (and perhaps even somewhat genuine) heterosexual life.

This thread has really enlightened me.   I had no idea about either Dean Santoro or John Collenback (both of whom played Stewart brothers on As the World Turns).

 

I had long wondered about Robert Gentry (and Dennis Cooney).  I also have wondered about (these have not been named) Michael Lipton and Ron Tomme.

 

Two from Dark Shadows that I had wondered about were the late Craig Slocum and also Humbert Allen Astredo.  (I think that the latter's obituary listed a daughter.)

 

Two more actors who are my friends are together.  I will not name them.

 

James Coco (The Edge of Night) was gay.

 

I don't know his exact name, but the first actor who was cast as Kelly McGrath on The Edge of Night (Joey Phipps was his name, I think) was supposedly spotted in a gay bar and was released from the show based on the morals clause.

According to a bio about Dennis Parker, Parker helped get Joey Alan Phipps the role of Kelly on Edge. Parker and Phipps has been lovers at one point. Folks interviewed for the bio said Parker’s past in porn was well known on the set and that Phipps was fired simply because he was not a good fit for the role.

I had not heard of the Dennis Parker-Joey Alan Phipps connection before.   Thank you for sharing about it.

 

Porn star Jerry Butler (husband of Lisa Loring of As the World Turns) said that there was an actor who played Dr. Will Vernon on One Life to Live and that this actor promised him the role of Brad Vernon on the same show.   I cannot remember why Mr. Butler said he did not pursue this.   I am not sure if this actor was Farley Granger (#!1) or Anthony George (#3).

 

And, this does not have to do with homosexuality, but the porn star named John Seamon was on One Life to Live.  His name was listed in the closing credits.  I think I read that another pornographic actor also appeared at one point, but I cannot remember his name.

lol yes. I think everyone knows he plays for our team. He doesn't necessarily hide it and he shouldn't. 

 

Did anyone mention Kevin Spirtas? Probably ... lol

 

Groff was another one I always knew was gay. It's so sad to feel like you have to hide who you are.

      date: Friday, May 9 | Gregori J. Martin, Cheryl L. Davis | Phideaux Xavier I am loving the character of June. The swap-off of Anita and Vernon is nice. They are a very in-sync couple and seem to do well at teaming up. That's amazing. I appreciate the more level-headed conversation between Bill and Dani; it's a nice change of pacing for them. Deadbeat's attitude needs to be adjusted ASAP. I don't trust him one iota. At all. Bradley deserves better than an abusive husband. As do the children. I love that June is firm in her convictions and her stances; she won't allow anyone to penetrate them. I can tell she has a rich history in her life and hope we get to explore it. Just what Theodore needs, Andre, is alcohol. Ugh. Why not leave him alone with the consequences of his actions? Just like with Eva, Katherine is calling out the truth: Bradley is a better husband than Deadbeat deserves and is just as much a part of the Dupre family as anyone else is! Derek, you do not need a bigger apartment; what you need is to get rid of that ugly-ass chair you named and move back into your own place. Deadbeat, what do you think huffing and puffing with former Daddy is going to do? Eva is right. Disappointing. My heart genuinely hurts for her. Nicole asserting herself with Andre knowing of the affair and not telling her? Oh, that's going to cut! Oh, are we about to get Bill versus Bradley right now?! This could be a juicy-ahh showdown that I am completely here for. Wait, so Bill requested Bradley's presence? What is up his sleeve? Not Miss Dana showing up at the final hour! This is going to be a showdown. I know it is! Notes: The new hairstyle on Arielle Preptit (Naomi) is very cute. The hotel suite is a very nice, sleek design. Almost reminds me of the Country Club's rooms from the first week. It's nice seeing a different-looking hotel type of design from what other soaps continue to show us. The food at Orphey Gene's and Uptown continues to look undeniably delicious; I'd be more inclined to eat at the former, but I'd happily visit both establishments.
    • Ohh - those previews!  I can't believe Leslie - what a mean mother. I still love the character, but she's now just a full-fledged villain at this point haha.
    • Not bad for what was supposed to be a middle of the week episode due to the preemptions lol Nice cliffhangers 
    • Ugh - I hate that they have to give Dani a big showcase in every story. Girl, sit your ass down when you know you’d go back to Bill in a heartbeat if he ever gave you the time and day. 
    • Ohh, Kat is mad!  She's going to tear into Thomas for that. There's Vanessa, finally, showing up for her friend. Ohhhh Dani is going to rip Ted a new one - this I can't wait to see haha. Not Leslie showing up at Nicole's house - omg!   Ugh, can't wait for Monday!!!

    • Don't make me like Tomas with Eva. 
    • Replacing Ashley and Derek with Tide and Febreeze bottles would be 100% totally acceptable to me.
