What a horrible day for the Another World family. First Mark Mortimer, and now Robert Kelker-Kelly has died at just 62. Robert played Sam Fowler and later Bobby Reno/Dr. Shane Roberts on AW, Bo Brady on DAYS and Stavros Cassadine on GH. Gone far too young. Please share your memories of Robert below.

36 years ago today, Beverly Hills, 90210 premiered! Somehow I missed the original series, even with my friend and GL alum Ian Ziering in it! Ray LOVED the show, and we watched the newer 90210 religiously together. Maybe it’s time I finally watched the original! Who was your favorite?

I just finished Jaclyn Smith’s memoir, I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie, and it really got to me. I’ve admired Jaclyn since I was 10, but reading her story as I’m about to turn 60 hit differently. Her stories brought up so much about my own mom, family and the people we lose along the way. Beautiful.
