He died peacefully and was surrounded by his family and loved so much by us and so many others. Thank you for all who are part of this wonderful tribute to my dad on Facebook." On "Days", Jed played attorney Don Craig from 1971-1985. Don was Marlena's first love interest in Salem, and the duo married in 1979. They had a son, Don Jr., in 1980, who died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Don was later married to Liz Chandler. In Don's last episode in 1985, he went to mail a letter, never to be seen again. A full obituary will be posted at a later time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 10, 2019 Members Share Posted March 10, 2019 Sorry to hear this. I remember his interview about the pain of losing his wife. At least they're together again now. Jed Allan was one of those soap leading men who changed the game for the type of man you would see starring on daytime, but he never really got the credit he deserved. Still, he had a very long and successful career, and had the love of his family. He'll always be CC Capwell to me. Thank you for posting the news here.

Members Soapsuds Posted March 10, 2019 Members Share Posted March 10, 2019 I was never a fan of his acting but it's sad to see another legendary actor pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted March 10, 2019 Members Share Posted March 10, 2019 He was on soaps back in the 60's on Love of Life and Secret Storm. Don and Marlena were such a popular couple on Days but the writers pushed Roman and Marlena and Don was left behind. Jed had a great career in soaps.

Members amybrickwallace Posted March 10, 2019 Members Share Posted March 10, 2019 I never saw his work on DAYS, but absolutely loved him as the fourth (and definitive) CC Capwell on SB. I also loved watching him (in reruns and DVD) as the host of Celebrity Bowling. God rest him - and all love and prayers to his family, friends and colleagues. A Martinez wrote a beautiful tribute to Jed on FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted March 10, 2019 Members Share Posted March 10, 2019 RIP. All of the men who’ve played Edward Quartermaine have now passed. (I know JA, who was only two years older than Stuart Damon, was seriously miscast.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cat Posted March 10, 2019 Members Share Posted March 10, 2019 Like so many of you, I was blown away by his charismatic turn as CC Capwell. Both the character and JA seemed like forces of nature! This is sad news indeed. May he rest in peace. (OT but it really means a lot to know that members of the SB cast remained in touch over 25 years after the show's cancellation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted March 10, 2019 Members Share Posted March 10, 2019 I cannot believe he was on SB for just 7 years. That's a blink of an eye in soaps time - yet he was so iconic. He'll forever be CC Capwell to me. A role he did not even originate. He was a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members teplin Posted March 10, 2019 Members Share Posted March 10, 2019 So sad to hear this. I loved him both as Don on DAYS and as CC on SB -- two completely different characters that he performed exceedingly well. Deidre Hall was never better than when she performed with him, and he also had tremendous chemistry with Susan Hayes and Suzanne Rogers. He never got the respect he deserved from the industry.
