IIRC he showed up at Kelly's Diner in shades and lowered them to expose his eyes to Ruby and she was surprised and happy to see him. I think he hung around for a little bit, but that was probably his last hurrah.
That was likely a Gloria Monty casting choice. As she was back on board as EP around that same time.
Not sure what happened to Slick, but the actor was a treasure. He added humor and warmth to the show. I miss those wonderful character actors. They were as important to the storytelling as the leads in many respects.
We’re watching L&L’s story and we’re in late 99. Luke just mentioned Slick to Roy. An unexpected blast from the past.
It got me wondering, what happened to Slick? I know the actor passed in the late 90s, but does anyone remember when he left and how the character was written out?
I don’t recall him being part of Laura’s return story in 83, but maybe I’m misremembering?
