Members Faulkner Posted September 29, 2021 Members Share Posted September 29, 2021 The sad year for soaps continues. Glad that I was able to finally watch his work as Quint to see him at his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AMCHistory Posted September 29, 2021 Members Share Posted September 29, 2021 I was really lucky to speak with him in 2008, not too long after the accidental death of his son. I did a write-up about that conversation here. I admit, it was one of my favourite interviews I ever did. He was so kind, so sharp, and so engaged: http://www.pinevalleybulletin.com/Features/InterviewTyloM.html My favourite memories he shared: That Tylo called Susan Lucci "Sweet N' Low" because of her tiny stature That Tylo, Mark LaMura, and Mathew Cowles went to church together every day - can you imagine fan's faces seeing Billy Clyd Tuggle taking communion! It's so sad to think that all three of these Icons have passed. That Tylo was one of the few actors to work directly for the trifecta of great daytime writers: Douglas Marland, Agnes Nixon, Bill Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted September 29, 2021 Members Share Posted September 29, 2021 Very sad to hear this. I had almost forgotten he hadn't passed away - then I remembered his son had. Such awful news. He cut such a dashing figure as Quint - soaps have become so absurd and have been so absurd for enough years that it's hard to imagine what GL fans could have felt about all of the gothic, Late Show-esque trappings of the early Quinton storyline. Tylo sold them with panache. I'm sorry that he never got a proper farewell, but I do like that, thanks to an ad-lib from Lisa Brown, we know Quinton and Nola are probably still out there somewhere, adventuring and living their dreams.
