David Groh, 68; husband on 'Rhoda' (http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-groh14feb14,1,170278.story?ctrack=1&cset=true) and DS alum:
Who did David Groh play on DS? I can't remember now.
They were tiny roles anyway. He was ...

This is sad news.
I am pretty sure he was in a fight with Joe at the Blue Whale.
Joe didn't like him dancing with Carolyn.

Was this a very fake-looking fight, where they just grabbed each other's clothing and acted 'tough'? Any other DS roles?
That was a big mistake they made, ending the marriage on Rhoda. TV execs' big theory for a couple years in the mid-70s was that if your show is successful, change it immediately before viewers get tired of it. They ruined quite a few shows that way, probably.
He sounds like a better actor than the roles he got. Ron Silver and Rene Auberjonois were regulars on Rhoda too, and I know they were better than those nothing roles, even though it started out as a good show. Worked with K Hepburn?

Groh didn't have a scene in the Blue Whale. There's a cast list here (with screen grabs) of Carolyn's early dance partners:

Any other DS roles?

Groh's Associated Press obit also mentions DS: 'Rhoda' Actor David Groh Dies at 68 (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jjNMlqW1o6WmXwIanT-Gn1SF-yQgD8UQEIO80)

Groh & Roy Scheider in the same week.
When they were at the height of their careers, during my teen years, they were considerably younger than I am now.
We are here but a short while......

OT:
I won't start a separate thread since this isn't DS, but actor Barry Morse, one of my favorites, who played Victor Bergman on Space:1999 and Lt. Gerard on The Fugitive, died a few days ago. Some fans here may appreciate roles of his.

No need to start a separate thread. Barry Morse also appeared in Dan Curtis' The Winds of War, so - with so many other fine performers like David Groh - there is another Dark Shadows connection. RIP to all the greats who have passed away.
