https://deadline.com/2025/12/gil-gerard-dead-buck-rodgers-actor-1236650916/ UPDATED with message from Gerard: Gil Gerard, the handsome hero of early-Eighties TV hit Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, died after a battle with cancer this morning in hospice with his wife at his side. He was 82. The news was announced by his wife, Janet Gerard, on social media. After sharing the news, Gerard’s wife posted a message late today on his personal Facebook page. It was written by the actor and meant to be shared upon his death. “My life has been an amazing journey. The opportunities I’ve had, the people I’ve met and the love I have given and received have made my 82 years on the planet deeply satisfying,” the message read. “Don’t waste your time on anything that doesn’t thrill you or bring you love. See you out somewhere in the cosmos.” Buck Rogers in the 25th Century was produced by Glen A. Larson and aired on NBC for two seasons. It sought to ride the Star Wars wave of the late Seventies, but employed more camp and comedy — especially where Twiki the jive-talking robot was concerned. (Twiki was voiced by Mel Blanc.) Rogers was aided in his adventures by the spandex-jumpsuited Col. Wilma Deering (Erin Gray) and the mysterious, feather-headed alien Hawk (Thom Christopher). The show had its genesis in a made for TV movie of the same name which was released theatrically and did moderately well. The film later served as the series’ pilot. Gerard worked consistently after playing Buck, mostly in episodic television and indie movies. He starred as Dr. John Harding in CBS’ short-lived E.A.R.T.H. Force (1990) and had a six-episode arc on Days of Our Lives in 1997. More recently, he starred as Bergen Paulsen opposite Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling in The Nice Guys. Pre-Buck Rogers, Gerard played Dr. Alan Stewart on more that 300 episodes of NBC’s The Doctors. Here is Janet Gerard’s statement in its entirety: Early this morning Gil – my soulmate – lost his fight with a rare and viciously aggressive form of cancer,” wrote his wife. “From the moment when we knew something was wrong to his death this morning was only days. No matter how many years I got to spend with him it would have ever been enough. Hold the ones you have tightly and love them fiercely.”

2026 Death Pool Official Rules The objective of this pool is to compile a list (roster) of individuals whom you predict will pass away during the 2026 calendar year. Participation and Roster Creation · Roster Size: Each valid entry must consist of a roster of exactly 10 different individuals. · Eligibility Criteria: All selected individuals must be at least 18 years old at the time of your entry submission. People currently on death row are strictly prohibited selections. Registered users of FFToday and/or theDanZone are ineligible to be selected for any roster. Animals are not permitted as selections. · Fame Requirement: All selections must be generally recognizable public figures (e.g., celebrities, politicians, prominent athletes). They must be well-known enough that their name can be quickly verified via a standard Google or Wikipedia search. You cannot select private citizens such as neighbors or teachers. · Naming Conventions: Full and correct legal names are required. Avoid descriptive placeholders such as "Steve Irwin's baby" or "Michael Jackson's accuser." · Entry Limit and Submission: Participants may submit multiple entries. However, the entry with the latest timestamp will be considered the valid entry; all prior submissions are immediately voided. Pool Timeline · Start Date: January 1, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. · End Date: December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Scoring and Standings · Scoring Method: A person's score is calculated by subtracting their age at the time of death from 100 points (Score = 100 - Age). Higher scores are better. · Roster Management: Rosters are final once submitted (and not subsequently voided by a newer submission). There will be no mid-year trading of selections or free-agent pickups. · Age Verification: If multiple ages are reported for a deceased person across different news sources, the age listed most frequently across reliable sources will be used as the official age for scoring purposes. · Standings: The official standings will be ranked first by the total number of points scored, and second (as a tiebreaker) by the total number of correctly predicted deaths. Administration and Dispute Resolution · Spelling: Please make every effort to spell names correctly to ensure accurate tracking and scoring (this is especially important for names with complex spellings). · Commissioner's Ruling: In the event of any rule dispute or unforeseen circumstance not covered by these rules, the commissioner retains all authority and will have the final say. >>>> DEATH POOL ENTRY FORM <<<<

https://deadline.com/2025/12/anthony-geary-dead-general-hospital-1236648904/ Anthony Geary, an eight-time Daytime Emmy winner who portrayed one-half of General Hospital‘s iconic soap opera supercouple Luke and Laura, died Sunday in the Netherlands following an operation three days earlier. His death was reported by his husband Claudio Gama to TV Insider. “It was a shock for me and our families and our friends,” Gama told the website. “For more than 30 years, Tony has been my friend, my companion, my husband.” One of the most popular and beloved actors in the history of daytime, Geary shot to superstardom as one of the industry’s most controversial anti-heroes. Joining GH in 1978 as hitman Luke, Geary was soon paired with Genie Francis’ Laura Webber. In a storyline that would prove groundbreaking and highly influential in the establishment of the 1970s soap-opera supercouple phenomenon, Luke raped Laura, a sign that the soap hadn’t intended to keep Geary around for long. But the duo were so popular with fans that Francis’ Laura forgave her attacker and the couple became a long-running staple of the show. In 1981, the wedding of Luke & Laura set daytime ratings records and made national headlines in the mainstream media. Born May 29, 1947, in Coalville, Utah, Geary was raised in a Mormon household, was discovered as a college actor by Chico and the Man star Jack Albertson, who cast Geary in a touring production of The Subject Was Roses. Though Geary maintained a lifelong affinity for – and connection to – the stage, he moved to Los Angeles in the late 1960s, landing roles on episodes of Barnaby Jones, The Partridge Family, Room 222, The Mod Squad and, most memorably, a 1971 episode of All in the Family in which he played a friend of Rob Reiner’s Michael mistakenly believed by Carroll O’Connor’s bigoted Archie Bunker to be gay. The actor launched his soap career in a 1971 storyline on NBC’s Bright Promise, then played rapist George Curtis on two 1976 episodes of CBS’ The Young and the Restless. That portrayal led to his breakthrough casting in 1978 on General Hospital. Despite the immense popularity of the supercouple, Francis left the role in 1982; she briefly returned to the role in 1983, and the couple officially left the show together in 1985. (They returned as the characters in 1993, with Francis leaving again in 2002; she has since returned to the role.) Geary won Daytime Awards for his GH performance in 1982, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2012 and 2015. Outside GH, Geary maintained a steady acting career in primetime episodic TV throughout the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s and 2000s, including roles in Barnaby Jones, The Six Million Dollar Man, Hotel, Sunset Beat, Murder She Wrote, and General Hospital: Night Shift, among others. After retiring in 2015, Geary and husband Gama moved to Geary’s home in Amsterdam. Last month, Gama posted an Instagram video from Amsterdam showing Geary watching a YouTube video of an interview with Francis on co-star Maurice Benard’s YouTube channel. Gama said Geary told him, “Those are two lovely and talented people, great friends and I miss them.“ Complete information on survivors was not immediately available.

Yeah my wife had no idea either…. Definitely a well guarded secret for sure…

Same here…. When I read that, I was totally shocked…

Trump trying to solidify his status as the president that says the most stupid, idiotic things possible? Just unbelievable…

Mahomes with a torn ACL…

I guess the Kansas talk will increase now…

Catch anything?

It was based on the first book by Michael Connelly called "The Lincoln Lawyer" that came out in 2005... Since then he has written six other books about Mickey Haller, but since the series was popular, the name will stay as "The Lincoln Lawyer"... Kind of like "Game of Thrones" and how it took off after the fist season (and book), but they kept the name...

Congrats! I am closing in on my goal of running 1025 cm this year...
