Oh not Carl. R.I.P.

#RIP Brett Hadley. When he wasn't playing Genoa City police detective Carl Williams (or amnesiac Jim Bradley) on 'The Young and the Restless,' he was tending bar in L.A. at The Palomino, a country music hotspot. https://t.co/J4oJUiFhZe @YandR_CBS

I so enjoyed the books she co-wrote with her mother, the famed Mary Higgins Clark, and the ones she did solo. The literary talent for writing suspense was in the genes. Very sad news - 66 is way too young to go.

My parents have one of their books somewhere. I was sad to hear of her passing so young.

 

Sorry to hear this. My parents watched To the Manor Born several times over. Such a great cast, with Angela in a thankless role (long-suffering best friend) and shining anyway.

 

 

Another great from so many things.

Thank you, Mr. Coster for sharing your talent with us. You will be missed. My heart is a little broken over this one

Oh, no! I always liked Nicolas Coster. Lionel Lockridge on Santa Barbara was a riot! (Of course, I am well aware that he appeared on many other soaps prior, but Lionel was my first real exposure to him.)

He also had a small, but great, role in the movie, Betsy's Wedding with Alan Alda, Madeline Kahn, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Catherine O'Hara, Joe Pesci, and Anthony LaPaglia as the prospective father-in-law of Ringwald's Betsy.

Rest in peace, Mr. Coster. Thanks for the laughs - and even a tear or two!

On a final bittersweet note, at least he and his youngest son are now reunited. (I still recall him talking about having a child later in life in SOD and how sad it was that that son died so young.)

What an incredible character actor, what an incredible presence in so many things. RIP.

R.I.P. Nicolas Coster, one of those actors that, no matter what major U.S. network was a soap fan’s favorite, would have inevitably become familiar with his work on a soap. It’s an entirely sad that soap fans are losing so many of these actors that were the vanguard of the daytime soap’s ascent into massive popularity in popular culture (often even among non-soap viewers). And at a time when daytime soaps are severely diminished and there are no visible attempts to preserve the vintage episodes.

He was such a hoot as Lionel on Santa Barbara. He and Louise Sorel were so good together.
