Jed Allan was not done with soaps when Don went to mail his taxes in 1985. Later that year, he took over the role of C.C. Capwell on the NBC soap "Santa Barbara" and remained in the role until the show left the airwaves in 1993. He also played Steve Sanders' dad, Rush Sanders, on "Beverly Hills 90210" for several seasons, as well as Ed Grant on "Port Charles" and a substitute Edward Quartermaine on "General Hospital" (via IMDb).

On March 9, 2019, Allan passed away, according to Deadline. Soon after, his long-ago "Days of Our Lives" co-star paid Deidre Hall tribute to him on her Instagram page, talking about the first time she ever met the man who would play her on-screen husband and how he made the entire soap opera production process look easy.

"It's been decades since I stepped on to the NBC sound stage to screen test for Marlena on Days of our Lives. I was given a 4-page scene to memorize and perform with Days' dashing bachelor, Don Craig, played confidently by Jed Allan," Hall wrote on Instagram. "He was deeply devoted to his sons and his darling wife Toby. When he lost her, we weren't sure how he'd go on, but go on he did. Jed was a giant in so many ways, witnessed by the huge emptiness he leaves behind."
