I won't make this a soap thread but two quick replies.
R95 yeah I wasn't yelling at you or anything, just an FYI that IMDB info on episodes is usually spotty at best and terrible for some of those soap actors. You'll have actors on the show for decades and it says, like, "30 episodes."
R97 yeah he was. The head writer and producer were gay men and there was a stretch where all the actors looked like extras on a William Higgins/Matt Sterling film.
A few hotties but the template was this guy, Jon Hensley, who played "Holden" on the same show that Parker Posey was on.....he looked a bit like Lex Baldwin the porn star, and basically stood around in tight jeans and stared hotly at other actors/actresses.

Christopher Reeve as "Ben 'Beanie" Harper" on soap, "Love of Life" (1976).
Clip features Tudi Wiggins playing his mother, "Meg Dale" .. chewing the scenery .. I'm surprised Reeve made out of their alive.

R218 - I only watched the first few minutes but to be fair, Reeve was wooden as hell and not giving that histrionic actress much to play off of.
BTW, this is the first time I've ever seen "Love of Life" and immediately noticed the opening credit looks like the template for parody spoof opening of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. I guess Norman Lear was familiar with the show.

R228 my parents shopped for a new car in the mid-80s. The dealer showed them a car which didn’t have AC or a radio standard. When my mum was surprised at the lack of a radio, he snorted and suggested she could steal one.
My mum is black and was very offended. Naturally, they did not purchase a car from him. Although he took his elderly mother to the doctor and turned a pleasant shade of green when my mother was the doctor in question.

R253, he was hardcore prissy gay even in that Munsters scene. I tried to find a video just of the brief scene but can’t. They ran out of the mansion - I believe in fast-motion - when they met Herman or Grandpa.
