| The Facebook homages of the former Santa Barbara members to Jed Allan |
03/13/2019 |
 A
MartinezJed Allan walked on today. Along the way in his fantastic acting career, he played Eden's father - C.C. Capwell - on Santa Barbara. His gift was a formidable blend of professionalism and inspiration - a perennial rock in his preparation and a force of nature once the cameras rolled. He was also generous and kind and funny and fierce, and God knows he was beloved by those lucky enough to share a stage with him. I count it one of the great blessings of my career that I got to be one of those, and one of the great blessings of my life that I got to be his friend. Jed was the finest actor - power and heart, humor and range to spare - and an even better man. He was about family. Protecting his own, and building it in the casts he graced. It was magic to work with him - his rock solid professionalism giving way to inspired energy once the cameras rolled. I join the millions of hearts who simply want to say : well done, good sir. In our dreams you are dancing through the stars tonight with your beloved Toby - now and forever.

Jed
Allan's career is impressive : since his debut in 1951, he has played in
dozens of films and series until the last few years. The audience discovered
him in the show Lassie in the late 1960s, before becoming a
star of the daytime soaps with the character of Don Craig whom he played
from 1977 to 1985 in Days of our Lives. In January 1986, he is
called to replace Charles Bateman in Santa Barbara and thus
becomes the new face of C.C. Capwell, whom he played until the last episode
of the show. A role that has marked the fans, C.C. having become, despite
his many face changes, inseparable from that Jed's. > Read

| Homage : John Conboy (19??-2018) |
01/21/2018 |
 Producer
John Conboy has just passed away. Arrived at the beginning of 1990 on Santa
Barbara, he had stayed during one and a half year as executive
producer, holding alone the reins of the show for one year before sharing
them with Bridget and Jerome Dobson, the original creators back at the
beginning of 1991.Under his direction, many new characters make their appearance (Stephen Slade, Derek Griffin, Amado Gonzalez, the Richards family...), without however succeeding in making their mark. The Capwell mansion is completely redesigned, the accompanying musics are replaced... But, good thing, he gets back the Lockridge clan almost completely : at first Augusta, then Laken, Lionel and finally Minx. Before Santa Barbara, John Conboy had already been executive producer at the launch of two other soaps, The Young and the Restless in 1973 then Capitol in 1982. After Santa Barbara, he works from 2002 till 2004 on Guiding Light, before disappearing from public life. Very discreet, we even ignore until his birth year... |
