France Turner, another cast member who added depth to the series, died on August 21, 2024, at 76, due to natural causes.

Charles Rocket, known for his role as the mischievous Richard Addison, left us too soon at 56, succumbing to suicide in 2005. His character’s manipulative charm still lingers in fans’ memories.
