Variety has reported the death of former ATWT Executive Producer Robert Calhoun, 77, lung cancer. He brought the show back to near the top of the ratings in the mid-80s and won the Emmy for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series in 1987. Another throwback to the Oakdale of yesteryear is gone. He will be missed.

Also an executive producer of GL during the halcyon days of Pamela K. Long and Nancy Curlee. Rest in peace--he will be missed.

Calhoun was a great EP.

He and Douglas Marland totally revitalized ATWT in the mid 80's.

He will be sorely missed!

ATWT when he was EP ws 1000 times as better as the ATWT of 2008. He and Douglas Marland made ATWT watchable back in the 1980s.

So, folks over at General Thugspital, fork over that Drama Series Emmy and bring it to Springfield, where it truly belongs!

Calhoun and Marland WERE Daytime's BEST in the mid-80's.

May God Bless You Robert Calhoun. Thanks for the memories!
