I ceased being a huge fan of OLTL a few years back, but I still tune in every couple of weeks to check in on the old-timers who've been on the show (off/on) since I was a child. So it's sad to hear that two of my favorite soap stars have passed away.

On a trivia note, Phil Carey (Asa on OLTL) played a gay man on an episode of "All In The Family" back in the day, a far cry from the burly oil-man he played on OLTL.
