I loved Dr. Joe - even found him somewhat sexy back in the '70s.

Dr. Joe was a stud decades ago on AMC. He came very close to having an affair with Lenore, Carrie Sanders' mother. Lenore was an abused wife. It's Carrie who got Tad stoned the first time. she later married that Tyler guy...
God, the crap the brain retains... those storylines are from when I was in college in the early 80s. I wonder how much I remember is accurate.

Oh, that's sad. I think he was certainly one of the oldest actors still alive from daytime. Bill Hayes is 96, Helen Gallagher is 94.
There's a long list of actors in their late 80s who are still kicking. Dr Bob, Kim, Lisa, Lucinda, and Emma Snyder from ATWT, to name a few.
He seemed like a good guy.

#3 - I remember that storyline!! I remember Lenore with a black eye …. I remember when Margo got a facelift on the sly so Paul wouldn’t leave her for the younger and richer Anne. I am getting old ….

My Scottish Nana (from the other thread) watched "All My Children" for its entire run until her death in 1991.
She was so into it she wouldn't answer the phone while it was on or be out of the house at that hour. She called it "my program", of course.

We lost Stewart Damien from General Hospital today as well. It has been years since I watched any of my soaps, but they were a big part of my life. My earliest memory of Joe was when Tad's abusive father wanted Tad back. RIP Joe.

Yes, one of my favorite things about the Prospect Park AMC was that Dr. Joe endorsed it by his presence.

Peter White (Linc Tyler, AMC) is now 83.
He is one of the few living cast members from the original BOYS IN THE BAND. He played Alan, the “straight” guy who visits the party.
I’ve always assumed White is gay - never married, no children, no significant other listed anywhere.

[R 3] The character was named Leora, not Lenore, and she was one of the first depictions of a woman really getting the sh*t knocked out of her by domestic violence on TV. The actress who played Carrie Sanders met a tragic end, drowning off the coast of Mexico in 2012.

I was watching the 1979 Burt Reynolds film Starting Over yesterday (it’s on Paramount +) and there’s a scene where Burt’s character has an anxiety attack in Bloomingdales and his brother (Charles Durning) asks the gawkers if anyone has a Valium and several of them come up with one. One of the gawkers (on the far right of the screen) is a youthful looking Jill Larsen.

It looks like Julia had an eye job that didn't go too well. She doesn't look like she's wearing much, if any make-up either, which isn't helping either.
Its too bad since she was looking pretty good still during the Hulu reboot.
