Actor Jed Allan has died at the age of 84. He was best known for his role as Don Craig on Days of Our Lives, Edward L. Quartermaine on General Hospital and as Ed Grant on the short-lived series Port Charles. The actor’s son, Rick Brown, shared the sad news in a heartfelt post on his Facebook page over the weekend.
“So sorry to post the very sad news of my father’s passing tonight,” Brown wrote.“He died peacefully and was surrounded by his family and loved so much by us and so many others.”
In addition to his work on daytime television, Jed was also known for his role on Beverly Hills, 90210. He played the role of Steve Sanders’ Rush Sanders from 1994 to 1999.
