Where are they now: JED ALLAN


Jed Allan was the fifth and final interpreter of CC Capwell. The first actor hired to play the role of C.C. Capwell was Lloyd Bochner, but he suffered a heart attack which prevented him from starring in the series. Instead, the producers cast Peter Mark Richman, who played the role from July 30 to September 12, 1984, after which he was fired by the producers who didn't think he was right for the role. Paul Burke was cast next.He played C.C. from September 13 to October 18, 1984. The fourth actor hired to play the role was Charles Bateman. Bateman played the role from October 22, 1984 to January 7, 1986, when he was replaced with Jed Allan, who stepped into the role on January 8, 1986 and played it until the end of the show on January 15, 1993. Jed Allan was without doubt the best choice on the part of production: he was younger than his predecessors, authoritarian, but also protective of his family. After his time on Santa Barbara, Allan had a recurring role on Beverly Hills, 90210 playing the role of Rush Sanders. In 2003 he starred in an episode of the tv series CSI. In 2004, he started playing the role of Edward Quartermaine on General Hospital. This was in some ways unusual casting, as the actor who played Edward's son Alan, Stuart Damon, is a month older than Allan himself. In 2006 the producers decided to recast Jed’s character.
After several years of silence, the actor is back on screen in 2011 to play Harold Johnson on the indie soap THE BAY. Ironically, Harold’s son is played by Lane Davies (Mason on SB). A beautiful reunion after so many years. Jed Allan is now 77 years old, he was married to Toby Brown from 1958 until her death in 2001. They share three sons, Mitch (who played a young CC in a SB episode), Dean, and Rick. Allan lives in La Quinta with his girlfriend, author Judy Steinberg.
