It's refreshing to know that you don't take your success for granted.<BR/><BR/>Count me in for anything you and Beth decide to do with or for your fans. I'm a jersey girl so getting there is not an issue.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your kindess and best of luck in your new role, you deserve it. Now that I found your blog I'll be checking in frequently.<BR/><BR/>Take Good Care,<BR/>Kteakteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805326626962684213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515454570686819892.post-8101785358350002542008-04-07T23:56:00.000-07:002008-04-07T23:56:00.000-07:00Hi Ricky!I just had to say...you will be missed on...Hi Ricky!<BR/><BR/>I just had to say...you will be missed on GL. I've watched it for years...(inherited from my mom )so believe me when I say...I’ve been a fan for a while... smiles. I have not cried as much watching a soap as I did during the end of your character...it was an unbelievable performance. We wish you best of luck on AMC and yes...for the first time I will follow an actor to their next location. You are a great actor and we can not wait to see you soar on AMC. <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you Ricky!!<BR/>MarvyMarvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500852523668343444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515454570686819892.post-24859523337659090392008-04-06T23:26:00.000-07:002008-04-06T23:26:00.000-07:00I think the idea of you meeting some of your fans ...I think the idea of you meeting some of your fans is a great idea.

I D...Hello Ricky,<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry to see you leave GL. I DVR every episode and I've kept some of the last ones.<BR/><BR/>I'm so happy they let you and Harley have some sweet, tender and friendship moments. I'm also glad that you told her she was the love of your life and reminded us the house your built for her. Anything different would have been just as WRONG as the events that transpired to your leaving. I still cry when I watch those final episodes. I hope they allow Harley to carry on with dignity.<BR/><BR/>I started watching GL with my recently deceased grandmother at the age of about 8. I was a big fan of the Phillip/Mindy and Rick/Beth quadrangle.<BR/><BR/>You and BE were by far my favorite couple and I've already figured out how you could come back one day. See, the heart Olivia missed while in the park, she didn't really miss it; and your passing was a rouse so you could do undercover work or something to protect your family (perhaps Harley because of Cyrus).<BR/><BR/>However, I would love to attend any event that you and/or BE were at. I live Raleigh, but I'd drive to NYC with a friend. <BR/><BR/>I must confess that I've never watched AMC, but I will now just to see you. As far as GL, because of this, they're slipping down on my DVR list. I would like to see what happens with Harley.<BR/><BR/>I would love to see a touching "will" read in which you not only leave things to Harley and the kids, but leave a nice recently updated statement proclaiming your love and closeness to her. The GUSH story deserves at least that much.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes to you and your mother in Europe; that makes me respect you even more. I have a young son that I'm raising on my own, and I hope he grows up to think of me in that way, I try my best.<BR/><BR/>If you're ever near Raleigh, give me a shout and we'll take you to a Canes game.<BR/><BR/>All my love and best wishes,<BR/>Sandy<BR/>to email me back, simply add "here" at ”hooya” to the end of my user name.sweetgapeachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01673092012438414085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515454570686819892.post-28425324638808480032008-04-05T11:14:00.000-07:002008-04-05T11:14:00.000-07:00I hope you are enjoying your time off and I can't ...I hope you are enjoying your time off and I can't wait to follow you to AMC.

I was also on a tour of the studio last year with Beth when we ran into you. You and Beth are my absolute favorites and I think that you should DEFINITELY have an event. It would be wonderful! I know that you would have a huge number of attendees.

I'm 39 years old, and haven't "written to a soap star" since I was probably 14 years old, and hopelessly smitten by the Phillip and Beth lovestory. I'm sure I had that postcard reply from Grant Aleksander taped in my locker til graduation.<BR/><BR/>But I wanted to write today to tell you that I loved watching you on Guiding Light. As Springfield said goodbye today,I was almost relieved that this terrible sadness was over...Only to see Gus appears to Harley in Monday's episode. Yikes. <BR/><BR/>You and Beth Ehlers have been magic together, and I think that the storyline when Gus refused to give up on Harley when she was in prison, the drug addiction, and Gus and Harley's final scenes together, have been some of the best acting I've ever seen on tv. But there have been dozens and dozens of scenes over your years on GL, when just a simple look said so much. You truly were soaps' Most Irresistable Couple.<BR/><BR/>I can't promise that I'll become a loyal viewer of AMC. But I'll definitely peek in once in awhile. And I'll be watching your website to catch more details about a fan greet with you and Beth in the fall. Best of luck to you!

I was the one with long, blonde hair & a big smile just in case you remember! We all hate that Gus died...now we can't even hope that you'll come back.

The emotions that everyone portrayed were felt by me & I'm sure by the entire viewing audience. It was so sad. I hope that I'll be able to watch GL the rest of the week. I don't know if I can take it. It's just very heart wrenching. And the fact that this is the 2nd anniversary of my mother passing away this week is not helping. Everyone did a phenomanel job on a sad ending. Bravo to you all!!!
