Q.
Who played Chelsea’s late
husband, Calvin, on THE YOUNG
& THE RESTLESS? He seemed so familiar!

The fashionista’s dearly departed
hubby was played by John Burke,
and you’ve probably seen him before,
since he has an extensive career in prime-
time, movies and even daytime. In fact, his
fi rst role was playing a chaplain on DAYS
OF OUR LIVES, followed by other brief
stints on soaps like B&B, PASSIONS and
GENERAL HOSPITAL. You also might
have caught a glimpse of him on TRUE
BLOOD, HOW TO GET AWAY WITH
MURDER, NCIS or JANE THE VIRGIN,
as well as the popular fl ick Transformers:
The Last Knight.

Q.
Wasn’t that Michael Park (Jack,
AS THE WORLD TURNS) in the
new season of STRANGER THINGS? I
didn’t see him in the credits!

While you may have missed his
name (which was in the closing,
not opening, credits), we can promise
you that it’s defi nitely the ATWT vet play-
ing Nancy’s misogynistic boss, Tom, at
the local newspaper. Park’s take on ’80s
sexism in the workplace is a pretty far
cr y from his turn as Oakdale’s good-guy
cop, Jack, but we guarantee it’s one that
you won’t forget. And that’s not Park’s
only Netfl ix run, as he’s also got a role in
the streaming ser vice’s miniseries,
TALES OF THE CITY!
Park took on
a STRANGER
challenge!
After a few minutes of awkward
staring, Nick fi nally fi gured out
where he’d seen Calvin.
DID YOU KNOW...
B&B DALLAS’ late Larry Hagman agreed
to appear in an episode in 2005, but
scheduling confl icts prevented the cameo.
Y& R David Hasselhoff (ex-Snapper) ap-
peared on the Merv Griffi n show to sing a
version of “Nadia’s Theme”... which just
happens to be Y&R’s opening theme!
