50 years ago I was Lance Prentiss on The Young and the Restless then in 1987 I became Eric Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful. Today I’ve spent 50 plus years at CBS Television City…my dressing room now is empty and our show will be moving over to The Sunset Las Palmas Studios where it will rebuild, refresh and enlarge our sets, bringing back the old glitz and glamour of our show.

Reassuring fans, he also told them not to worry about the longevity of soaps. He added, “Stay tuned for what’s ahead and spread the good news. Soap Opera is here to stay…”
