<> You want some REAL Ryan's Hope trivia? Bernard Barrow (Johnny Ryan) is the chairman of the theater department at Brooklyn College. And, of course, there's John Gabriel (Seneca) who does all of Oldsmobile's commercials. John is from Canada, just as Seneca is supposed to be. He does an Oldsmobile commercial where he is at the head of a conference table with people from all of the other automobile producing countries, each of which is ethnically recognizable as coming from his represented country. John, of course, represents the good old USA. I found this ammusing, knowing that John is really Canadian. John's real-life wife does some commercials with him as well as appearing on another soap. And does anybody recognize the set they used for the fund raiser party? Looks suspiciously like the Kirkland house. It would have been funny if Leigh were to compliment Max on his decoration.
