Thank you for getting Erika’s statement Errol.

SID had quotes from Gina Tognoni, Frank Dicoupolous and Robert Newman https://www.soapsindepth.com/gallery/guiding-light/a-special-tribute-to-soap-star-jerry-verdorn 

SOD posted a roundup with others already shared and included an email statement from Amanda Setton. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/stars-react-to-jerry-verdorns-passing/  

soapshub had a long statement from Michael O’Leary who found over the phone from Grant Alexander and one from Kim Zimmer in two different articles.

Sorry my cut and paste is broken…

Thanks for these, @~bl~. I'd been scanning their socials.

The Soaphub tributes from Kim, etc. are here:

 

Amanda Setton and Carlivati's messages at SOD are kind of tucked away for those who saw the earlier article before revisions, so here.

Carlivati:

Michael O'Leary, Jean Carol and others got tucked away in a separate article as well for some reason:

Given the wonderful monologues he often had on GL, he would have made a terrific speech teacher as well.

2:03 in really illustrates what an emotional cornerstone Ross and Jerry’s portrayal had become to GL by this point. Jerry never made scenes like this come off as too saccharine or insincere, he was just so believable.

The man who painstakingly edited and uploaded all those clip sets was killed not too long before GL was canceled. I think he would have been proud to know Cynthia was using his work to honor Jerry.

Truly sad news.  Clint was one of those roles that always seemed so singular to the original actor that I was surprised how much I loved him on OLTL.  I came to his better days as Ross long after GL was cancelled, but he really had a sparkle there.  You could tell he relished playing characters that had intelligence.

YES!!!! I love this clip! Cynthia saw my post on Facebook back in either 2013 or 2014. I was going through finals and I was acting completely neurotic that day as I had spent so much time prepping for my studies. So, I posted that clip and she sent me a private message with a wink emoticon, lol! THAT made my day and my exams went smooth sailing after that. Oh, my sweet little Annie Dutton always bringing cheer in my life.

    • I'm fighting for my life on another board for my husband Brandon and I'll do it here too lmao
    • I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.
    • Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.    
    • You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

    • Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.
    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.  
    • So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows. 
    • The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
