Pittsburgh star James Conner diagnosed with cancer. Conner says he has Hodgkin lymphoma, but he vows to play again.
June 19, 1999. QUESTION: What happened to the actress who played Connor on As the World Turns? A.C., Orlando. ANSWER: Allyson Rice-Taylor was unjustly booted off the soap, where she played high-powered businesswoman Connor Jamison Walsh Stricklyn, for that flimsy ``new direction for the character'' reason. The actress resurfaced on the short-lived sci-fi series TimeCop and guest-starred on 413 Hope Street. Nowadays, she's a homebody with husband Andy, an actor and cellist, and their son, Dashiel Zane. Q: On As The World Turns, how could the baby be white when her mom is black? I'm confused. D.K., Winter Springs. A: I'll assume you mean baby Hope, who is being raised by Lily and Holden but was actually switched at birth and is really the baby of Andy, who is white, and Denise, who is black.
