  1. Thanks for finally posting this column, Roger! And it's ex-Whip for Rick Hearst since he's no longer on B&B anymore even though he was demoted to recurring status last year.

  2. Hi Roger!

    Just wanted to mention that 1/4/2013 birthday girl Rosemary Prinz played Sister Mary Joel, Jack Fennelli's (Michael Levin) biological mother, not Mary Ryan, on Ryan's Hope in the middle 1980s.

    Brian :-)
