Members DRW50 Posted November 7, 2019 Members Share Posted November 7, 2019 Aw. Mitchell was one of those steady, safe supporting figures who helped make soaps what they used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted November 7, 2019 Members Share Posted November 7, 2019 I always thought that characters like Mitchell Sherman were a part of what made Y&R a cut above: the supporting character whose presence added realism to any storyline.

Members sheilaforever Posted November 7, 2019 Members Share Posted November 7, 2019 Very true. MWilliam Wintersole was connected to some of Y&R's finest stories and he fit the part as the upstanding lawyer perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 7, 2019 Members Share Posted November 7, 2019 For years, I'd been wondering what happened to "Mitchell Sherman". Although Y&R had his 'son' make appearances, there seemed to be few to no mentions of the father. Classic Y&R made you care about peripheral characters like Mitchell Sherman, John Silva, Miguel, Mamie, etc. R.I.P. Mr. Wintersole. Does anyone think that Y&R will care enough to acknowledge this passing onscreen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRfan23 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2019 Not that I’m excusing the show for not acknowledging those deaths but to be fair it’s been a good while that we’ve seen or even heard mention of Mitchell onscreen, except his son David...who’s now dead too apparently (not IRL on the show) he will at least be included in next years Emmy memorial.

Members SoapDope Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 I saw he is listed on Y&R starting in 1980, but I though Mitchell started appearing on the show in the 1970's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 Actor Fred Beir originated the role. Wintersole took over in 1980 (from the research I've done. WW may have started earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted November 9, 2019 Members Share Posted November 9, 2019 I saw that Beir died in 1980 of cancer. He also appeared on Days circa 1978 as the guy who raped Julie. He was on Dallas in 1979 for 3 episodes. His character was set up by J.R. and a prostitute played by Veronica Hamel. They got a photo of him in bed with Pam while she was separated from Bobby to make it look like a sex scandal. Everyone in the family knew it was a scheme of J.R.'s and it pissed him off when she came back home to Southfork with Bobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
