RIP Jerry!!!! Loved his portrayal of Ross so much. There was no question he became the cornerstone of GL throughout the 90’s and up until his 2005 exit. 72 is way too young . 
 

My favorite pairing of his was with Sherry’s Blake, I wonder if she’s heard the news as well.

This years in memory of segment is going to be difficult and I hope they don’t screw it up or else they will have a lot of upset viewers. I think and hope we will hear from certain people eventually through others. I could see Kristen posting for her brother and with his own cancer battle… anyway I am expecting to hear from some of the guys at Gl perhaps Courtney Simon will tweet on behalf of Peter as they shared a dressing room for years and irl friends.

 

 Betterforgotten that clip today is even more poignant than it was back then…

I love that picture of him. Of course, what's not to love, his baby blues just about jump out at us! And you mention JVD working hard at OLTL. He was just a hard worker. So many at GL were of a time, maybe, or something, where they just had a strong work ethic. Of course I believe that in general daytimers work harder than anybody else. I believe Joan Collins found that

to be true while she was in Springfield.

Yes, I checked on them too but news needs time to travel, or they may very well grieve privately. Plus I don't think Gina has had much social media presence since Y&R.

Maureen Garrett is on Facebook. I think she is conservative in how much time she gives to the ether but she logged onto my soap page there just last week & made a post. I had uploaded this pic where she looks so young & she said that of course she did she was just a baby then.

Mark Lawson aka Brody on OLTL commented on Bree’s insta no idea how to share that…he mentions the last day of OLTL. There are some who won’t say anything and that is okay as I would rather someone not be forced to comment.

sad, sad news.

the morning of blake and ross’s wedding in 1994, ross and ed had a conversation — just a conversation between two old friends talking about their years of history — that i remember to this day, more than 25 years later . i cannot find it anywhere online. 

i’ve always suspected that it was part of the reel he submitted for his first emmy, in 1995. i remember reading somewhere that liz kiefer put together his reels. 

if anyone knows where it is, please post.

    • Thank u so much! I love that show and the more I see of it the more I want to find more of it even if it’s just in script form. But that house and especially the room looked like Victoria Winters room from dark shadows lol  this was great find! Thanks 
    • I genuinely thought when they said she had been throwing up, we were going to get a pregnancy story. I’m actually not convinced we aren’t. Especially the way she and Doug danced around her own infidelity.
    • Shouldn't it be the other way? I don't think Taylor Hayes is playing Rebecca Budig.

    • And the most detailed discussion I've seen from an industry figure about some of JFP's worst choices as a producer (steamrolling over writers) was from another woman, Megan McTavish.
    • IMDb is definitely incorrect, because the final week of episodes in 1974 is uploaded to Youtube in audio form, and Mark and Laurie are there until the very end. The last episode shows Mark going back to the priesthood. I looked at the newspaper and the earliest reference to their house being haunted by Georgina is in December of 1973. This is dated Dec 14, but this same synopsis ran in the papers until the end of December in other publications. So it must have been within those last 3-4 months. I think Stephanie Braxton joined around 1969-1970 so that's probably right. I saw it stated in other newspapers that David Gale joined around September 1972.

    • Opal having siblings could add to the story. However, it raises questions about Tad's adoption. Why were the Martins allowed to adopt him if Tad had aunts or uncles who could have cared for him?  Logic limited the number of possible Gardner's (and whatever Opal's maiden name was).  Even though Linda Thorson would have been a hysterical choice given her British accent.  Especially because SOD often published questions by readers who wondered why Tad and Jenny didn't speak like their mother.   All of which is still not an excuse for Tad's evil doppelgänger Ted. 
    • And if I remember correctly, at one point, they were considering having Linda Thorson play Opal's sister.
    • Interesting. Makes me wonder how the day to day looked for Secret Storm at this point in the run. This seems very to deal with the psychological aspect, I guess the "inner storm", and the music is almost sinister. If this is from 1974 there's not much room for dates it could've been from as it ended on February 8th.  It's hard to tell from an edit featuring just one storyline, but if this was the day to day it might've been heavy for the casual viewers.   ETA: Stephanie Braxton is credited to have appeared as Laurie from 1970-1973. David Gale is credited only in 1973 and Alexander Scourby from 1972-1973. I know IMDB isn't always right, but I'd say this is likely 1973 - I'm guessing all these characters exited before 1974 and this might be a part of their final storyline. 
    • Well, they were both involved with Ray Gardner.  Then, the actress left in 1980, only to return as a somewhat broader interpretation of the character after Dottie was SORASed.  By that time, Opal had left in 1983.  So, while they serve the same story function,(verbally abusive/neglectful mothers who make you feel sorry for their daughters), one could argue that Edna was the carbon copy.
