Guess the answer
 

Many many years ago, All My Children had someone go up to the attic to polish skiis and was never heard from again. Do you know who it was?

No clue. I used to watch it all the time up until 1984 when I quit watching all soaps.

This is what I found for you at: http://www.eyeonsoaps.com/AMC/trivia.htm

**Let’s clear up the Bobby Martin problem once and for all: Bobby, played (albeit briefly) by Mike Bersell, did not go upstairs to polish his skis, never to be seen again. He in fact went off to summer camp, where he apparently slipped everyone’s mind forever after. Almost twenty years later, the writers did get a little comedy mileage out of the situation, though: Opal Purdy, who was staying with the Martins for a while, accidentally got locked in the attic. While rooting around up there, she stumbled over a skeleton sitting next to a pair of skis, on its head a baseball cap with the name Bobby on it.
