I didn’t know Mr Conboy but even I recognize his excellence in daytime drama. I watched Guiding Light and still watch Y&R….RIP Mr. Conboy. Thank you for your gifts to us.
I adored his work he was great.
People this. Was when Daytime. Was really a force now it’s just ok this is my buddy he works you don’t back when personal feelings were kept out of the work environment you had a job you did it.
So right you are, k/kay! Mr. Conboy’s efforts were class personified…He helmed so many superb shows that made daytime viewing a sumptuous feast to be savored….In contrast, today we’re simply left to pick up the leftover crumbs in search of the occasional treat!!!!!
Mr. John Conboy…Thank You…Thank You for ALL that you brought and gave to the soap genre over the years. You will be truly missed. Rest In Peace.
Amen.
I so remember John Conboy being the EP at the beginning of Y&R who made a difference during his time at Y&R…RIP John…
Jeanne Cooper discussed Conboy in her autobiography. He was the one who contacted her about appearing on Y&R in what she thought would be the short-term part of Kay Chancellor.
Sorry to hear of his passing. Y&R owes its success to people like Bill Bell and Conboy. They built a strong foundation for the show, which is a major reason that the show has managed to stay on the air — even in its current, very diminished form with a constant flow of head writers trotting in and out the door for the past decade. When I hear of the passing of someone like Conboy, it is yet another sad reminder that we have moved farther and farther from the Y&R that I watched and loved for years.
My condolences to Mr. Conboy’s family.
Very well said Barbara…THANK YOU…he surely will be missed and I loved what he did for Y&R…
Barbara, I could not have said it any better. Thank you for speaking on behalf of so many loyal Y & R fans.
Into the wild blue YondeR…
RIP, JC.
A man whose talents and leadership clearly were a gift to the genre and to fans of these wonderful programs.
The GUIDING LIGHT was the best soap ever with REVA ❤️
No one could ever repeat those scenes with Josh
RIP his work was inventive & appreciated by many people of color!
Mr. Conboy was a class act and one of the greatest creative in soap history. May he R.I.P
