Asa dies!

That would be nice to see her and the baby again. I have always wondered what a "Zane" looked like! LOL

This is the discussion I started when he was having contract issues: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/932983.aspx They have just been referring to him as being upstairs sick in bed lately. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Carey Philip Carey (born July 15, 1925, although some reports listed his birth year as 1935) is an American actor. Carey has made appearances in films such as This Woman is Dangerous with Joan Crawford (1952) Calamity Jane (1953), Pushover (1954) and Monster (1979). Carey also had roles on the TV series Laredo and Little House on the Prairie. He is perhaps best known for his role as the protective Texan patriarch Asa Buchanan on the ABC soap opera, One Life to Live, a role he has played since 1980. Before that, Carey also played Steve, a drinking buddy of Archie Bunker on an early memorable episode of All in the Family. Carey became well-known for a series of tongue-in-cheek television commercials for Granny Goose potato chips, in which he self-identified as "Granny Goose", portraying the company's spokesperson as a tough cowboy. Carey was diagnosed with lung cancer in January 2006, and underwent chemotherapy. Carey was absent from One Life to Live for much of 2006 as a result. In late March 2007, it was announced that Carey would be exiting the show after nearly thirty years. Carey turned down an offer to go to recurrring status with the show. He last aired on April 26, 2007.

Wow! Thanks for sharing that, now I'm back up to speed on it. (I couldn't remember the name Philip Carey for the life of me, lol) The last time I tuned in was while he was absent from the show in 06, and I do remember reading in the paper that he had cancer. (That's why I wondered if he passed on or something.) He's been on OLTL for so long! He had some real interesting story lines along the way. Gee, I also remember when he played that part on Archie Bunker. Thanks for sharing!
