2025 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

Is that what she died of?

< runs away >

Jane Pitt’s passing did make national (ABC) news, but I didn’t mention it here because of the “is she a celebrity” problem. She did accompany her son at award and other events, but is that enough? it doesn’t really matter since no one had her (I assume), and I’m not sure a similar situation will happen in the future – no one start listing “[insert celebrity]'s mother” in future lists!

At least, not without a note signed by Epstein’s mother.

I actually thought about that reference, but with all the political connotations about that name I decided against it.

Grasshopper is most wise.

Eww! I didn’t think of that.

It is a good thing Robert Hegyes died more than a decade ago.

It has prevented a Cagney & Lacey reunion movie.

I have thought of this before. It is possible that a person can be a celebrity in their own right.

Next year I will address this in the rules. I someone’s mom is mentioned other players can question it, and the selectoir can defend their choice. I will be the judge.

some years ago I had Lydian Heston on my list. She was a stage actress, and a prefessional photographer. She had professional talents and was not just Charlton Heston’s wife.

Not a good year for General Hospital alumnae. A missed opportunity theme list.

Tristan Rogers dead at 79.

If they show a funeral for Robert Scorpio on General Hospital, will Luke Spenser show up?

Doubtful, since Tony Geary retired from the role years ago. OTOH, Laura would almost certainly be there in her capacity as Mayor of Port Charles.

My original favorite couple on GH was Robert and Holly. Over 40 years ago now. RIP, Commissioner.

I’ve been there since the initial runaway and the Ice Princess Affair, stayed through the Aztec Princess Adventure, and enjoyed the Robin/Casey space alien bruhaha. Those were the days. And yes, I watched when Robin appeared for the first time.

I was watching when Robin first appeared as well. I just read that they did some goodbye episodes for Robert and had him leaving with Holly.

My stepsister and I watched General Hospital as young teens, during that year when everyone was watching it. We pretended she was Laura because she had a crush on Luke, and I was Holly because I had a crush on Scorpio.

Wow. Did anyone ever hear him talk about his casting in Phantom Menace? Yeah, if you can’t tell, he definitely thought there was more to his role than, uh, nothing.
