Frank Grant Has Fatal Stroke

[@ronaldhaynie]

Fantastic scene between two dynamic actors. John Danelle and Antonio Fargas. AWESOME! I miss AMC being on the air; however, this type of drama was long gone.

[@Gar42nett]

It was 1982 I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 15 years old. Classic!

[@matazza6428]

I was at work. My supervisor came in from lunch and she was crying. I asked her what was wrong and she said Frank died on All My Children. I was like girl I bet you wouldn't cry like that if I died. We had a laugh.

@@matazza6428 Anne Tyler was killed off, too, in that same year and she was also an original character.

[@tjames9698]

A shame they killed him off, Frank was an original AMC member.

[@rockyracoon3233]

T James Frank was great!

[@daingermouz2077]

I never knew he got killed off like that.

[@mikehalterman1615]

He wasn't an original character but he was one of the first, and he was the first Black character. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_All_My_Children_characters_(1970s)#Franklin_%22Frank%22_Grant

Wasn’t Frank good friends with Mary Kenicott?

[@memyself4ever1]

The actor who played Carl is my cousin.

[@snoops71]

I remember this. I was in 6th grade at the time. I was sad he died. I always liked Frank.

[@laurenlovesjbhs]

Haha the guy who plays Frank Grant is my uncle! He's pretty awesome :)

Is he still alive

@@sonjahicks1466 yes, thank goodness, 76 years young! played in the movie the rosary murders. i recognized him and did my research and ended up here

[@fwdthinker]

I remember seeing this when I was a child!

[@DeeNice681]

Frank and Nancy Grant were very underused for the more than 10 years they were on AMC. And the only time they started to get more air time(When Jesse and Angie became popular), Frank has a heart attack and dies. Very sad!

[@a.b.s_productions]

DeeNice681 Hmmm I don't know a lot about early AMC I remember seeing a clip of Cliff and Nina's wedding and a believe Frank was Cliff's best man, if I'm not mistaken. It's always interesting to know about black characters on soaps at a time when there wasn't too many. I wish there was more info on storylines with Ed and Carla from OLTL. They were like the first black supercouple in daytime.

@@a.b.s_productions there is you tube video where the lady carla interview about her character and life on oltl and how she left the show it was a podcast just type in the actres name

[@a.b.s_productions]

@@tonyneal3266 Ellen Holly. And she was an original cast member on OLTL. She said quite a bit about her time on OLTL. From what the person DeeNice681 said and from what I even read there really want that much storyline or use for Frank and Nancy on AMC until they decided to bring in Darnell Williams who played Jesse In the early 80’s. This scene is actually very sad to watch.

[@krumbsbakery154]

can't have too many black folks on at a time you know

[@a.b.s_productions]

@@krumbsbakery154 You got that right! And by all means don’t put them in front running storylines in the 70’s and 80’s. Even into the early 90’s. I have to say Darnell Williams and Debbi Morgan help paved the way for that. Ellen Holly and the late Al Freeman Jr started it off in the 70’s.

Huggy Bear on All My Children

[@shavonnestacia2865]

I heard from my Mom that he was on here....It's weird watching it....

[@LULOHANFYAH]

And the moral of the story? - Don't be grabbing on Huggy Bear, man!

[@rickram1961]

Angie's dad was a huge creep!

[@rockyracoon3233]

I hated Les!!!!

[@briansky10]

Ditto. I hated him!

[@GianniHernandez007]

This is not a criticism…I am so grateful for this list and who am I to rewrite history, anyway, 0:02 but maybe there is a version in which nobody has a fatal anything but LEAAST of All a fatal heart attack or stroke?

[@entertainme3000]

so is this where the late Frank Grant dies? I know by '83 he's gone coz Jesse tells Angie he wants to name their boy "Frankie" after Jesse's dearly departed uncle. So maybe the stroke had him die afterward? And remember when Jesse shot and killed Les in '87 and how devastated Angie was?

[@monicajones5943]

Huggy Bear (Beretta reoccurring role) is a lawyer? Who knew?

Huggy Bear was on "Starsky and Hutch". I don't recall the character being on "Baretta".

Now I remember jesse, but i didn't remember that he was frank's nephew. Don't tell me Jesse was that little boy who always used to call him Uncle Frank I remember! Was that Jesse and if not who was that child? Anyone have any scenes with that little boy? Now my curiosity's aroused.
