Me too!

He was perfect in that role.

Those were the good old days when soaps were fun!

Billy Clyde was a villain but I loved watching him. Mr. Cowles simply stole every scene he was in.

Billy Clyde always called poor long suffering Estelle, "my honey Estelle." I can just hear that so clearly.

Thanks for the memories, sir. RIP.....


Since it was such a surprise to find he was married to Baranski, I looked him up on Wiki and found that he and "Estelle" actually were briefly married in real life before Christine.

Even my brother would stop in his tracks when Billy Clyde Tuggle was on the tv screen and he would laugh.

He was a great actor. I remember watching him on AMC. RIP.

Does anyone know the cause of death?

I felt bad when I saw that he had passed. They were a loving couple.
