Actor David Gail is dead. He died at the age of just 58 for reasons that have not yet been disclosed. His sister Katie Colmenares confirmed this on her Instagram page.
“There was hardly a day in my life when you weren't by my side, always my comrade-in-arms, always my best friend, ready to face anything and everything with me,” writes Colmenares. She will carry him in her heart every day, “you charming, loving, amazing, fighting person.”
Colmenares concludes her sad post by saying: “I miss you every second of every day forever, there will never be another.”
Also known from “Port Charles”.
Born in 1965, Gail appeared in the hit series “Beverly Hills, 90210” for around 15 episodes in the early 1990s. The character he portrayed, Stuart Carlson, fell in love with Brenda Walsh, portrayed by Shannen Doherty. But even though the two got engaged and were about to get married, the series relationship ultimately failed.
Gail's TV partner at the time has also been making sad headlines for some time: Doherty has been suffering from cancer for years. It was only in November that she revealed that metastases had now formed in her brain. At the same time, she continued to be combative. “I don't want to die,” she explained. And: “I’m not done with life yet.”
In addition to “Beverly Hills, 90210”, Gail also appeared in other TV formats. For example, he played Dr. in the “General Hospital” spinoff “Port Charles” (1997-2003). Joe Scanlon. In the series “Savannah” (1996-1997) he was seen as Dean Collins.
