Members kalbir Posted January 9, 2023 Members Share Posted January 9, 2023 RIP Quinn Redeker and thank you for the years you entertained us on daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted January 9, 2023 Members Share Posted January 9, 2023 I always loved Rex as Katherine’s partner and Danny and Gina’s reformed dad. QR made his evolution from a wily rascal to an elegant pillar of Genoa City work. I also loved what I’ve seen of his DAYS work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 9, 2023 Members Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) I best know him as Rex, and always will. In reality Rex wasn't much of a character, but Quinn was so likeable, handsome, and charming, he made you care. He was one of my favorite parts of Y&R in those years, especially his relationships with Jill and Leanna. I think he was almost too good for the role as I have a feeling Bill Bell may not have intended him to stay as long as he did (which is why he got such a poor exit). I will miss him.

Members teplin Posted January 9, 2023 Members Share Posted January 9, 2023 Quinn was great as villain-with-a-twinkle-in-his-eye Alex Marshall on DAYS. And I really enjoyed his "romance" with Sister Marie. Unfortunately, his character got shunted aside in the ways of the DAYS' supervillain formula. He also dated Deidre Hall IRL. And, of course, he was an Oscar-nominated screenwriter, for his work on Michael Cimino's "The Deer Hunter." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Planet Soap Posted January 9, 2023 Members Share Posted January 9, 2023 RIP Quinn. Kay's best husband who barely gets a mention, yet we always hear about the "beloved Phillip". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted January 9, 2023 Members Share Posted January 9, 2023 RIP. Loved him best as Alex. He was a villain with a sense of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCOLTLLover Posted January 9, 2023 Members Share Posted January 9, 2023 Oh no. I didn’t heard about his passing. Such a bummer coz a few months back I was googling what he was up to. i liked him as Rex but for me he will always be Alex from Days! shame they gave up on Marie Horton’s character and him… Loved them and I loved his friendship with Anna.. The best! They were the best duo! Loved it when he owned the Salem inn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted January 9, 2023 Members Share Posted January 9, 2023 I was just noticing him all over again when Y&R re-aired the Masquerade Ball over New Year's. He made so many little gestures as the Mad Hatter that I notice something new every time despite having watched that episode so many times. He has such a gleam in his eye. Such a unique character and actor. Let us not forget he was also Academy Award nominated for co-writing the Deer Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AbcNbc247 Posted January 9, 2023 Members Share Posted January 9, 2023 RIP He was great on Days. And had quite a character arc. From the main villain, to lackey, to romantic lead, to lackey again, to comic relief. I wish more of his romantic lead year was available to see.

Members titan1978 Posted January 10, 2023 Members Share Posted January 10, 2023 I loved him as Rex. And as others have mentioned he did have a real twinkle in his eye, bringing more to the character than was on the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted January 10, 2023 Members Share Posted January 10, 2023 Wow, RIP indeed. Rex was such a fun character, right from the get go of setting up a man for Katherine. I absolutely loved the whole triangle between him, Jill, and Katherine I could easily see him as both their soul mate. However Rex’s tryst with Leanna was just as fun. I always thought Rex was killed off too soon but alas times were changing. I would’ve preferred Rex to hang out to Katharine’s end as opposed to Murphy. As for his Days run, wow I’ve always been impressed from what I’ve seen. A real highlight for me was seeing Alex and the late Lanna Saunders Marie on a date, the chemistry and history felt legit and warmth even though you knew that Alex was a shady scumbag lol. Wish there was more of his Nick Reed run. Redeker knew how to play it all and entertain us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted January 10, 2023 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) Rex was definitely Katherine's best husband, but QR also had wonderful chemistry with Jess Walton and Barbara Crampton as well. He excelled at both comedic and dramatic scenes IMO. Yes it was! Edited January 10, 2023 by YRfan23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
