What I principally remember -- aside from how freakin' good Hart Prime was, somebody who really might have gone on to bigger things -- was that he had his hang-gliding accident on a weekend; that Friday, apparently, they'd ended the day in the middle of filming a hugely emotional confrontation between Hart and Julie. I still remember that the argument began with the Hart we knew, and another plotline or two got its scenes in, and then the voiceover said, "The part of Hart Jessup will be played by XX" and some poor extra grabbed at the last minute had to pick it up. I always thought a lot of the actress who played Julie for not missing a step there; that had to be enormously challenging both personally and professionally.
I spent that night surfing old Roger scenes. God, I loved Roger. I hated myself for loving Roger. Sometimes I hated him too. But he was endlessly interesting, and Zaslow was truly one of the great soap actors.
Jenna Bradshaw! Nadine! Billy Lewis! How I have missed them all.
