Oh my, this is heartbreaking to hear over a holiday! 

I first remember Kamar and really liking him on a little TV show called Four Corners which was hyped up by CBS and I wanted to succeed but it unfortunately the show was DOA. 
 

RIP indeed and sympathies to Sherri, another daytime alum I’ve always admired.

This is so unexpected and heartbreaking! So many of the soap names that still register as “young” in mind are leaving us, and it’s such an unfortunate reminder of how precious and fleeting life really is. I wasn’t the hugest Antonio fan when I first started watching OLTL, but I def came to appreciate both KDLR and David Fumero - not just as incredibly sexy men but as solid soap performers. This is truly a loss for Llanview.

I did too. It's a strange phenomenon scrolling through social media and seeing a familiar face that you haven't seen in a long while and having an immediate gut sense that you should not be seeing this person.

This is incredibly sad news. Kamar was so young, and his poor wife and children. I used to see Sherri on the UWS running errands and such. Robin Strasser and Kamar were close, this must be devastating for her as well. It was an inspired move to take a day player but mostly unseen character like Carlotta, beef up her role and create a family around her.

One of my favorite Kamar memories was a small but cute one. He was having a scene while eating a handful of nuts, shaking them in his hand like dice before popping them into his mouth with a playful grin.

God bless him, he was an indelible part of countless after-school memories.

Devastating for his family and children, and on Christmas Eve. May he RIP.

I remember him on OLTL when the show began shoring up its next generation of younger talent. Back in the day, it was always kind of exciting when a soap expanded its canvas to incorporate the new with the established.

Going through his IG, he did look gaunt in recent months. Cancer can be such a cruel disease, whether it’s aggressive or lingers for years. His parents are both still alive according to his NYT obit. Their hearts must be shattered. Deaths around the holidays can ruin that season forever, as many of us know.

I am very sorry to hear this news about Kamar. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. I enjoyed Antonio on OLTL, especially his bond with Christian as well as his mother Carlotta, Jamie, etc...

One of my favorite scenes of his was actually when Nelly Furtado guest starred as an old friend of his and he got up to dance with her at the end of her performance. It was such a fun, spirited moment, he was getting it. I enjoyed the energy and presence he brought to the role of Antonio.

May he rest in peace.

    • I think GM would’ve worked as a recast Cam too The storyline could’ve even been that Cam was still learning the violin over the last year and the Nurses Ball was meant to be his big break. And it would’ve been nice to see Cam move on with Emma  
    • See ya bright and early tomorrow morning! True, Kristen deserves a child like that. But it was too much like the way Ron wrote the kids on GH; they’re only awful, obnoxious little sh*ts because he finds it funny
    • Thanks for the Days writer update. Since Draughon started in August 2024 according to his Linkedin profile and this episode was taped the week of September 9 2024, it seems the outlines are being written about a month or less from tape date.
    • So far all I'm enjoying about the show is SINN and surprisingly the Finn/Liam bonding/friendship that's it lol 
    • I guess it shows how uninteresting B&B is right now when most of the posts these last few pages have been about Don Diamont's celebration and not about the actual show....

    • On Days of our Lives-- Rick Draughon was listed with the breakdown writers starting today and Isaac Francis Tackman has been listed alphabetically with the other scriptwriters since Tuesday.
    • Oh, I liked O.G. Rachel, too. But this one seems to be projecting in her acting as if in a theatre; it's a very different take on the role. Both are nice, though. And yes, nü Rachel did just get cast in the Little House reboot as Laura Ingalls (originally played by Melissa Gilbert). As for whether she'll continue on DAYS, who knows? I am sure TPTB could give her time off to film eight to ten episodes of a television series for Netflix (which may not even last beyond a singular season).

    • They got a few decent episodes out of it, but I don’t see the long term goal or story potential here. Lois will likely go back on the back burner pretty soon, Gio is technically an adult, and who cares about Dante and Book Lynn having a child together in the long run? After the initial shock wears off, there’s no story left as it’s not like Dante and Brook Lynn are in love with each other but torn apart by circumstance, or their insta-child is reliant on them in any real capacity. It all feels very shortsighted.
