Eileen Fulton, Iconic Star Of ‘As The World Turns,' Passes Away At 91
According to Variety, Fulton passed away on Monday in Asheville, North Carolina, after a period of declining health. Her death was confirmed by a funeral home through an obituary.
Fulton joined As the World Turns in 1960 and remained on the show until it ended in 2010. She played Lisa Miller, one of soap opera's earliest and most famous "bad girl" characters. Over five decades, Lisa's storyline included eight marriages, countless plot twists, and a long-standing place in viewers' hearts. Fulton herself helped shape the role, asking writers to add more edge and drama to her character, which helped keep the show popular.
In 1998, Fulton was inducted into the Soap Opera Hall of Fame. She also received a Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004 for her work in television.
Outside the soap opera, Fulton had a successful stage career. While acting live on As the World Turns, she also appeared in Broadway's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and off-Broadway in The Fantasticks. She performed cabaret acts across New York and Los Angeles for years.
Fulton also wrote two autobiographies: "How My World Turns" in 1970 and "As My World Still Turns"in 1995, marking her 35th year on the soap. In the late 1980s, she wrote six murder mystery novels.
She retired from acting in 2019 and moved to Black Mountain, North Carolina. Fulton is survived by her brother Charles Furman McLarty, niece Katherine Morris, and sister-in-law Chris Page McLarty.

Johnny Depp unleashes his inner monster in Ridley Scott's 'Hyde' graphic novel series; calls role 'madness and magic'
Hollywood star Johnny Depp is set to sink his teeth into another iconic role - Mr Hyde. The actor is set to bring to life one of literature's most iconic villains through the upcoming graphic novel series titled 'Hyde'. The series, co-produced with legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott and Mechanical Cake, the project, based on Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, is scheduled for release on Halloween 2025. Dream Role View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) The project reportedly aims to offer a darker, more psychologically complex take on the the famed saga. The first clip of the series was dropped online featring Depp's likeness in film and illustrated formats. The video was posted online by Depp, who also penned a heartfelt caption that read, 'When I was a boy, I carried a little leather book of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde in my back pocket everywhere I went.' He went on to add, 'To step into the world of Robert Louis Stevenson, to be welcomed into Ridley Scott's vision… and to explore this character — it's madness and magic.' Plot According to Variety, the series will reimagine the classic tale, in which Mr. Hyde has fully overtaken Dr. Jekyll and lives underground in Victorian London, experimenting with a dark serum capable of transforming others into versions of himself. Depp and Scott React In a statement to Variety, Depp described the opportunity as deeply personal rather than purely professional, adding, 'To build within the world of Robert Louis Stevenson's masterful characters… and inexplicably having the opportunity to explore — it's surprising to me. And hopefully, surprising him. It's insane and beautiful to receive that trust from Ridley.' Director Scott also expressed strong support for the concept, stating that upon viewing an early pitch and poster mock-up, Scott responded with, 'It's a no-brainer.' With 'Hyde', Depp marks his return to the horror genre after taking on the role of Sweeney Todd in Tim Burton 's 2007 film.
