CLASSIC ATWT Photo of the Day: Tom and Carol

On July 26, 1973, Tom (now played by Peter Galman) married Carol (Rita McLaughlin Walter) in a lavish ceremony shot on-location.

Tom's marriage to Carol prompted the infamous "granny clause" in Eileen Fulton's contract as she did not want to see Lisa turned into an old lady before her time.

Sadly, Tom and Carol's marriage did not stand the test of time, but their interactions with Jay and Natalie during the mid-1970s made for interesting story.

Galman was one of the 13 actors who have played the role of Tom Hughes.

  1. Could you list the full set of 13 Toms, and their run years? It would be fascinating trivia!

  3. I had a crush watching Peter Galman's Tom when I was a high school boy! :-)

    Are there any photos of C. David Colson as Tom #8 with Judith Chapman as Natalie (Wife #2)? Thanks!

  4. Thanks for the list and for the pics. Interesting huge list. Seems to have been lots of trouble getting a stable Tom in the 1960s.
