Beloved actor dies at 37 after being shot in Los Angeles

There are a lot of tributes to the late General Hospital star Johnny Wactor from family members and other actors.

The 37-year-old man was shot and killed in Los Angeles on Saturday morning while protecting a coworker from thieves who were trying to steal his catalytic converter.\

At about 3:25 am, Wactor was walking a coworker to her car after working a shift at a rooftop bar when something terrible happened.

His brother Grant told Daily Mail, “We’re Southern by birth and blood, and we would never let a woman walk to their car by herself.”

Grant said Wactor thought he was being towed because he saw three men in masks around his car.

But when a man pointed a gun at the actor, he moved out of the way to protect his coworker from the gunfire.

“I think my brother worked harder than anyone else I’ve ever known.” “He was a great son and brother,” Grant told the news source.

Still on the run, the three suspects are being looked into by the LAPD.

People paid tribute to Wactor right away because he was known for playing Brando Corbin on the popular soap opera.

William deVry, who also stars on General Hospital, called it a “senseless” death in a post.

It’s really hard for me to find the right words to describe how sad I am about losing another #GHAlum,” he wrote on X, which used to be Twitter.

“There are no words to describe how pointless this loss is.”

Johny was a great person. Bad, really bad. “Rest in peace, Johnny Watson. Sending love and comfort to his family and friends.”

Parry Shen, who played Brad Cooper on the daytime soap opera, also said that his friend had a “beautiful soul.”

“The soul of Johnny Wactor was so beautiful.” “Such skill,” Shen wrote.

“As you can see from the film, always ready for anything.” Really funny.

“I was very fit, but I loved ice cream and ate a lot of junk food too.”

“We all were cheated of many years with him.”

SINNED HEART
Sofia Mattsson, who played Wactor’s wife on the drama series, wrote a tribute to him on Instagram.

“Johnny was the best ever.” So honest. Such care. Very humble and very hardworking, she wrote.

“With a big heart that brought happiness and kindness to everyone.” He always made sure everyone knew they were loved, seen, and heard.

“I admire the man he was so much and I’m a better person for having known him,” she said.

It was really lovely to be around Johnny Wactor. […] For many years, he lied to all of us.

Actor Parry Shen in General Hospital
“We had so many wonderful times together, on and off screen, and I will always treasure them very much.”

“I will miss you so much, Johnny… I’m sure you’re busy up there taking care of everyone.”

Wactor’s tragic death was talked about on the show, which showed how the cast and crew felt.

“The entire General Hospital family is heartbroken to hear of Johnny Wactor’s untimely passing,” the post said.

“He was truly unique, and it was a pleasure to work with him every day.”

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones during this difficult time.”

Robyn Bernard, who played Robyn on General Hospital, was found dead in San Jacinto, California, on March 12, 2019. She was 64 years old.

At the same time, Grant talked about how devastated the rest of their family was.

He told The Los Angeles Times, “My mother is tough as nails, but she’s broken to the bone.”

“He needs to go back to Charleston. It’s a shame. It looks like the wrong place and time happened.”

Grant also said that his older brother “did what he wanted, even until the day he died” and “lived life his way.”

His mother said in a statement, “He was a kind, loving son and brother, and he lived life to the fullest.”

“He made plans and followed through.” Our hearts and lives have a very big hole in them.”

The case is being looked into by the Central Division Homicide of the Los Angeles Police Department.

MIL Billed Me $3,360 for Babysitting Her Own Grandson — Here’s How I Settled the Score

When Emma returned from a demanding business trip, she was met with a startling surprise—a bill from her mother-in-law, Linda, for babysitting her grandson, Max. This unexpected demand led to a significant family conflict, and Emma decided to teach Linda a lesson by treating her like hired help. The emotional toll, however, quickly escalated. Returning to her cozy home, Emma felt a sense of unease. The usual warmth was missing, replaced by an eerie silence. Max’s toys were scattered across the living room, leading to the kitchen where Emma found something that made her blood run cold—a stack of $200 and a note from Linda.

“Emma, Where is the rest? For my time taking care of Max this past week, you owe me $3,360. Nannies get paid $20 an hour. Linda.” Shocked and hurt, Emma couldn’t believe Linda was demanding payment for spending time with her own grandson. With anger bubbling inside her, she dialed Linda’s number. “Hello, Emma,” Linda answered, her voice firm as always. “Linda, I got your note. Can we talk about this?” Emma tried to keep her voice steady.

“There’s nothing to discuss,” Linda replied coolly. “I spent the entire week taking care of Max. I think it’s fair that I get compensated like any other nanny would.” “But you’re not just any other nanny. You’re his grandmother!” Emma’s patience was slipping away. “I did the work, didn’t I? I was here day and night, feeding him, playing with him, putting him to bed. That’s a nanny’s job,” Linda insisted. Taking a deep breath, Emma responded, “Fine, Linda. You want to be treated like a nanny? Then that’s exactly how I’ll treat you.” She hung up, feeling furious and resolute. If Linda wanted to be compensated, she’d get her money—but she’d also get all the boundaries that came with being hired help. The next day, Emma sat Max down and explained,“Max, sweetie, from now on, you’re going to call Nana ‘Miss Linda,’ okay?” “Why, Mommy?” Max asked, tilting his head in confusion. “Because Miss Linda is helping us out, and that’s what we should call her,” Emma explained, hoping he wouldn’t ask too many questions. Max nodded, but his confusion was evident, breaking Emma’s heart a little. When Mark came home, Emma told him everything. He sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair. “Emma, I get why you’re upset, but do you really think this is the best way to handle it?” “She wants to be paid like a nanny, Mark. She can be treated like one too,” Emma replied firmly. The first few days were awkward. Linda—sorry, Miss Linda—showed up to pick Max up for his usual weekend stay. Emma handed her an envelope with the exact amount she’d demanded. “Here’s your pay,” she said, her voice void of any warmth. Linda took it without a word, but a flicker of something—regret, shame?—passed through her eyes. That weekend, there was no Sunday family meal, no laughter, no shared stories. It felt strange, like a piece of the family was missing. Max sensed it too and asked why Miss Linda wasn’t coming over anymore. Emma hugged him, telling him not to worry. Linda kept up the facade for a while, but the house felt colder whenever she was around. Max still loved her, but he picked up on the shift. The situation reached a boiling point on Linda’s birthday. Mark and Emma sent a terse text message, wishing her a good day—no plans, no dinner, no cake. It felt wrong, but Emma was too stubborn to back down. That evening, the house was eerily quiet. Later that night, there was a knock on the door. Emma’s heart sank. She knew it was Linda before she even opened it. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door to find Linda looking smaller than ever, her eyes rimmed with red. “Emma, can we talk?” Linda asked, her voice breaking. Emma nodded and let her in. They sat at the kitchen table, the silence almost unbearable. Linda looked at her hands, twisting them in her lap. “Emma, I’m so sorry,” she began, tears streaming down her face. “I was wrong. I let my pride and stubbornness get in the way of what really matters. I miss Max. I miss our family.” Emma felt her own eyes welling up. “Linda, it hurt so much. I felt like you were putting a price on our love, on our family.” “I know,” Linda sobbed. “I was frustrated, feeling like I had no value anymore. I thought asking for money would make me feel important, but it only made me realize how much I’ve lost.” “Emma, please, forgive me. I can’t bear to be without Max, without all of you.” Emma took Linda’s hands in hers. “Linda, of course, I forgive you. But you have to understand, family isn’t about money. It’s about love and respect. We need you, not as a nanny, but as Nana.” Linda nodded, wiping her tears. “I understand now. I promise I’ll never let something like this come between us again. I just want to be with my family.” They hugged, a long-overdue embrace that lifted a weight off Emma’s shoulders. They stayed like that for a while, letting the past weeks of pain dissolve in their shared tears. Over the next few weeks, things slowly returned to normal. Linda—Nana—was back in their lives, and the warmth returned to their home. They celebrated her belated birthday, and for the first time in a long while, it felt like a true family celebration. Emma and Linda grew closer, their relationship stronger than before. They had been through the storm and come out the other side, a little battered but much wiser. As Emma watched Max play with his beloved Nana, she knew they had found their way back to what really mattered: each other.

Mom Furious upon Seeing Her Sons Cry after Opening Presents They Received from Their Aunt

As the laughter echoed through the room, my heart sank like a stone. My boys, Colin and Daniel, stood there, tears streaming down their faces, their innocent joy shattered by the cruel prank played by my own sister.

“Enough!” I shouted, my voice trembling with anger and disbelief. “What on earth were you thinking?”

My sister’s laughter faltered, replaced by a look of confusion and embarrassment. “I… I thought it would be funny,” she stammered, her eyes darting around the room as if searching for an escape.

“Funny?” I seethed, my fists clenched at my sides. “This is not funny! You’ve ruined their birthday!”

Colin and Daniel clung to each other, their tiny shoulders shaking with sobs. My heart ached as I looked at them, their innocent faces twisted with hurt and betrayal.

“I’m sorry,” my sister mumbled, her laughter now replaced by remorse. “I didn’t mean to upset them. I just thought…”

But her words fell on deaf ears as I ushered her out of the room, my mind reeling with anger and disappointment. How could she have been so thoughtless, so callous, as to ruin such a special day for my boys?

As I knelt down beside Colin and Daniel, wrapping them in a tight embrace, I vowed to make things right. No matter what it took, I would ensure that the rest of their birthday was filled with love, laughter, and the joy they deserved. And as we wiped away each other’s tears, I knew that our bond as a family was stronger than any prank or disappointment could ever be.

Woman Discovers Her Daughter’s Imaginary Friend, Whom She Plays with Every Week, Is an Actual Person

My daughter started drawing all these pictures a week ago. She and her imaginary friend “Martha.” At first, I was wary, but given our recent move and her lack of friends, I saw it as a way for her to adapt. It’s just a child’s imagination, right?

I couldn’t find peace, and my worries for my daughter kept me up at night. I wanted her to have real friends, so the next day I went with her to the playground. My Katie was running around with other kids, and I couldn’t have been happier… But in a moment, everything changed.

I lost sight of her, and she disappeared. My heart skipped a beat when another child said, “I saw her with a lady over there,” and pointed towards the nearby park. I ran and ran… And imagine my shock when I saw my Katie holding hands with an elderly woman.

The woman was in her late seventies, with silver hair neatly tied into a bun and a kind yet mysterious look in her eyes. She was dressed in a floral dress that looked like it was from another era. Katie looked up at me with a big smile and said, “Mommy, this is Martha!”

I felt a chill run down my spine. Martha was supposed to be imaginary, just a figment of Katie’s imagination, a coping mechanism for our recent move. But here she was, a real person.

“Hello,” Martha said softly, her voice gentle but firm. “I didn’t mean to alarm you. Katie and I have become quite close.”

I was torn between fear and curiosity. “Who are you?” I demanded, my voice shaking.

Martha looked at Katie with affection before turning back to me. “My name is Martha. I used to live in this neighborhood many years ago. I don’t have any family left, and I’ve been quite lonely. Katie’s company has been a blessing.”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “Why haven’t you introduced yourself sooner? Why sneak around like this?”

Martha sighed. “I never intended to be sneaky. I was just as surprised as you are. One day, I saw Katie playing alone, and she waved at me. We started talking, and she reminded me so much of my own daughter, who passed away many years ago.”

I looked at Katie, who seemed perfectly at ease with Martha. “Katie, why didn’t you tell me about Martha?”

Katie shrugged, a little confused by my concern. “I thought you knew, Mommy. She’s my friend.”

I took a deep breath, trying to process everything. “Martha, I appreciate you being kind to Katie, but this isn’t safe. We need to establish some boundaries.”

Martha nodded, understanding. “Of course. I never meant to cause any trouble. I just enjoyed spending time with her.”

We exchanged phone numbers and addresses, and I explained to Katie that while she could still see Martha, she had to tell me first. I also made sure to get to know Martha better, visiting her and learning about her life. She turned out to be a kind woman who had indeed suffered great loss.

Over the next few weeks, I saw how much joy Martha brought into Katie’s life. They would spend time together in the park, playing and talking. Martha even taught Katie how to knit, a skill that she had learned from her own mother.

One day, Martha invited us to her home for tea. Her house was filled with memories and old photographs. As we sipped our tea, she shared stories of her youth, her family, and her lost daughter. Katie listened intently, fascinated by the tales.

In the end, what started as a terrifying discovery turned into a beautiful friendship. Katie had found a surrogate grandmother, and Martha had found a reason to smile again. We all grew closer, and I realized that sometimes, the unexpected connections we make can turn out to be the most meaningful ones.

Martha became a cherished part of our lives. Katie no longer needed an imaginary friend, because Martha was very real and very dear to us all.

I Came Home from Vacation to Find a Huge Hole Dug in My Backyard – I Wanted to Call the Cops until I Saw What Was at the Bottom

A Surprising Discovery
Returning home early from vacation, I found a massive hole in my backyard. Ready to call the cops, I saw a shovel at the bottom, making me reconsider. “What is this?” I muttered, approaching the edge. At night, I set up watch and saw someone leap over the fence and drop into the hole.

Unexpected Encounter
I crept outside and confronted the digger, shining my phone’s flashlight down. To my shock, it was George, the guy who sold us the house. “Frank?” he said, equally surprised. “What are you doing here?” He explained, “My grandfather hid something valuable here. I thought I could dig it up while you were away.” George proposed a deal: help him dig, and we’d split whatever we found, fifty-fifty.

Digging for Treasure
We spent hours digging, sharing stories. George had lost his job, and his wife had cancer. “This treasure,” he said, “could change everything for us.” As we dug, George shared stories about his grandfather, who distrusted banks and buried valuables. Despite hitting only rocks, our camaraderie grew.

A New Friendship
At dawn, with nothing found, George looked defeated. “I really thought… I was so sure…” He apologized, and we filled in the hole. When we arrived at George’s home, his wife Margaret was worried. “George, you didn’t.” We reassured her, and she offered to pay for yard repairs. I declined, joking about installing a pool instead. As I drove home, I felt a sense of connection. George’s hope had been infectious. I told my wife Karen everything. She smiled, “Only you, Frank, would spend all night digging for treasure with a stranger.” We decided to invite George and Margaret over for dinner, realizing the true treasure was the new friendship we had forged.

Legendary actor passed away in his Big Horn, Wyoming home

Doug Sheehan, who played General Hospital, died suddenly at age 75. Fans are sad about the loss of a TV legend.

Doug played Joe Kelly on the famous soap opera.

The star of General Hospital “passed away peacefully” at home in Big Horn, Wyoming.

The Kane Funeral Home told people about his death on its website.

From what the funeral home says, Doug died “with his loving wife [Cate Abert] at his side.”

At this point, no other information has been given, and the cause of death has not been known.

Fans of the actor who played “LOVED HIM” took to social media to mourn his death a week after the sad news spread.

One person wrote on X on July 8: “Very sad news.”

“I loved him as Joe.” There were some sweet times between Ben and Val, but I always wanted Gary and Val. “Too many beloved soap vets are leaving us,” wrote someone else.

“My thoughts and prayers are with Doug Sheehan’s family during this sad time. From 1979 to 1982, he played Joe Kelly on General Hospital. It makes me so sad to hear this. “I will miss him,” said a third.

“Sorry to see that General Hospital and Knots Landing alum Doug Sheehan has passed,” put in a fourth. “I met him at a press event many years ago, and I recall him being just as amiable as his on-screen persona suggested he was.”

“Oh no, another great actor from General Hospital has died.” The funny, nice, and very skilled Doug Sheehan. Served as Joe Kelly. Besides Knot’s Landing, he did a lot of other work as well. “May he rest in peace,” one person wrote.

Doug was well-known for his roles on General Hospital and Knots Landing. He was in more than 100 episodes of each show.

LIFE THAT WAS MADE FOR TV
Doug was born in Santa Monica, California, in 1949. His acting career began when he was in an episode of Charlie’s Angels in 1978.

After that, he played lawyer Joe Kelly on General Hospital all the time.

He was in a crazy 205 episodes from 1979 to 1982, so “regular” might not be the right word.

The actor was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Actor in a Supporting Role in a Daytime Drama Series for this part.

As time went on, he got many more TV roles, including one on CBS’s Dallas spinoff Knots Landing.

He played reporter Ben Gibson on the show from 1983 to 1988. When his character went to South America in Season 8, he left the show.

Doug talked about TV fame and how hard it can be to break into the mainstream on an episode of The Arsenio Hall Show in 1989.

No one in Hollywood is in charge of making movies; casting directors are in charge. People who do casting never look at what you’re doing…In the daytime, at night, and on the half-hour, I’ve spent my whole time breaking down walls. They aren’t sure if I can do funny shows for an hour yet, so I need to make a name for myself.

Doug’s acting career mostly took off on TV; he never quite made it to the big screen with a movie role.

Three movies with big screens showed him: 10 in 1979, Victor/Victoria in 1982, and Cops n Roberts in 1995.

In the 1990s, he played Cher’s dad in the TV show Clueless, which was based on the famous movie of the same name.

He was also the lead in the NBC comedy Day by Day as Gary David Goldberg from 1988 to 1989. He also had small roles on Cheers, Columbo, MacGyver, and Diagnosis Murder.

His last movie roles were in What I Like About You and Sabrina the Teenage Witch, where he played Sabrina’s (Melissa Joan Hart) dad.

Before he died, Doug was married to Cate Abert. They did not have any children together.

The Municipality of Chanco confirmed her death, stating, “Ivana personified the spirit of public service with passion and love.” They added, “Your departure leaves a void impossible to fill, but your legacy will endure through time.”

Her funeral took place on June 17 at Curanipe Parish Cemetery, attended by family, friends, and fans. The Municipality of Chanco expressed gratitude, saying, “Thank you, Ivana, for giving us days full of light and peace.”

STAR GONE. Longtime ‘Dallas’ actress passes away after suffering three strokes

Pat Colbert died at the age of 77.

She was in DALLAS and various soap operas.

The actress who played Dora Mae on the comedy show

Within the past ten years, she had three strokes.

Pat made an appearance in Season 7 of Dallas in 1983.

Her personality Dora managed the Oil Baron’s Club and played the lead role in the show until its last season in 1991.

Up to and including the 14th and final season, she was in more than 65 episodes.

She appeared in episodes of Sisters (1991) and True Colors (1991) after Dallas ended.

She got her first acting credit in Eischiled in 1979, playing a model in the show that also starred Joe Don Baker.

Her acting resume also includes roles in Fall Guy and Capitol.

Soap opera Capitol ran from 1982 to 1987. Patricia played Cora Mullens on the show.

Additionally, the actor was in the 1987 movie Leonard Part 6 with Bill Cosby. Patricia Colbert played Allison Parker in the spy comedy about a former spy who runs a restaurant.

This actress later appeared in movies like Thom & Dusty Go to Mexico: The Lost Treasure (2014) and If Not for His Grace (2015).

The sixteenth of January 1947 saw Colbert born in Los Angeles.

Others TV roles she had were in Flamingo Road (1998–1981) and the 1985 TV miniseries “A Death in California.”

In addition to her sister, she is survived by two other siblings and her son Michael.

The Hollywood Reporter quoted movie and TV blogger Shaun Chang as saying, “As the only African-American character who appeared more than once, Dora Mae never had a storyline because Dallas never tried to be anything other than the story of the Ewing family, but she played the part with elegance and intelligence.”

“The show’s main characters and itself treated her with respect, never making fun of her.

“In Dallas, there were a lot of recurring supporting characters who helped make the show feel like a community, and Dora Mae was an important part of that.”

It began airing in 1978 as Dallas. Reports say that the show was canceled in 1991 because it was “too expensive for its own good.”

DEADLY FALL

THE ARISTO TRAgedy A family member of Prince Harry’s model ex-girlfriend Florence Brudenell-Bruce dies when he falls.

A wealthy old man died when he fell out of his bedroom window while letting his cat out, his partner said yesterday.

The 8th Marquess of Ailesbury, who is 98 years old, hit his head on the concrete patio below and fell.

Michael Brudenell-Bruce was found in a pool of blood by his partner of more than 30 years. He was related to Florence Brudenell-Bruce, who used to be with Prince Harry.

Author Teresa Marshall de Paoli, who is 88 years old, said that he probably fell while opening the window to free Honeybun, the cat that was stuck.

“It was a freak accident,” she said. He had blood all over him. “Oh, my dear, what happened?” I asked him, but he was already dead.

The marquess, who went to Eton, was pronounced dead by 999 crews who were called to the house in Shepherd’s Bush, West London. The coroner has been told about his death.

The police treated Teresa’s death like a “crime scene” yesterday, but she wasn’t arrested.

She was later able to say goodbye and spray his body with his favorite aftershave.

When they first saw that he had fallen out of the window, Teresa said, “They thought I might have killed him.”

“That really was a freak accident.”

“There wasn’t a fight, and I hadn’t hit him.”

“I think Honeybun the cat got her head stuck, and he pushed the window up. He lost his balance, and he fell out onto the patio.”

“As he fell, he broke the roses on the wall.”

“I was told that the blow to the back of the head on the concrete would have killed him.”

“He might have been there for an hour or an hour and a half.” He was pale and cold.

“I put a pillow under his head.” I called 999 and told them my partner had an accident.

“The ambulance and police arrived in seven minutes. A woman who worked for the police told me he was dead.”

“A police officer said death happened right away. It was seen as a crime by the police.

After the tragedy late Sunday night, she called his daughter Lady Kathryn Brudenell Bruce, who ran to the scene.

“Lady Kathryn and I had to spend the whole night in an armchair in the drawing room.” There was nowhere else we could go.

“The police were there all night and all day the next day.”

They had lived in the cottage on their family’s 4,500-acre estate in the Savernake Forest near Swindon, Wilts, for 16 years before moving to this house.

The Marquess has been divorced three times, and his granddaughter, Bo Bruce, was on the BBC singing competition The Voice. He went to Eton and then became a captain in the Royal Horse Guards. After that, he became a stockbroker.

A Met Police spokesman said, “The London Ambulance Service called the police to an address in Abdale Road, W12, at 20:05hrs on Sunday, May 12, after a man in his 90s was found dead.”

“Police and the London Ambulance Service were there.”

His family and friends have been told.

“The death is as unexpected but not being treated suspicious.”
