Alright, who put the question mark on the teleprompter?

FYI this is actually a thing with some news people. I remember one saying they used to have arrows to indicate tone next to the beginning of the story (up is happy, down is serious) or color coordinations for these people and they could flip it on and off like a switch.

I remember him from my early 80s childhood when my mom watched Days. And then I remember him again when I spent a few summers in the late 90s enjoying trashy morning soaps for fun. It was wild that damn near every main character was still there, a few played by other actors, and some actors even coming back to their original roles. It was a sad little hit to my nostalgia when him and Stefano DiMeara's actor died in real life.

And now I'm over 40 with my own kids, and still see familiar faces on soap magazines in the grocery aisles. I wonder if Marlena ever got possessed by the devil again, lol.
