Daytime Actors That Aren't On A Soap


Recommended Posts

Spun off from the 'Daytime's Bigest Wastes' thread, I wonder what people think in regards to former daytime stars who really need to be snapped up by another soap. What stars really should be on screen just now, and who would you cast them as?

Dan Gauthier is one that springs to mind immediately. I dont know what the hell TPTB at OLTL were on when they let him go. If OLTL doesnt get him back, long term, as Kevin, then I think he would be great as Alan Michael on GL or perhaps on DAYS in some capacity.

Soon to depart AMC, Kelli Giddish needs to be snapped up by another soap. I'd love to see her on a show where her talent would be utilized, like Guiding Light.

Anyone else have any thoughts? I'm sure I'll come up with a few more and post them here.

How could I forget about Sarah Buxton? I floved her on Sunset Beach and on Days, wasnt too keen on her B&B role though (I'd still take her back onto that show in a heartbeat, though). She seems to be totally West Coast based, so how about GH?

Christine Tudor Newman (Gwyneth, Loving) really should have been picked up by another show. She had the middle-aged rich bitch down pat! Her final scenes on the show were nothing short of amazing, and it is surprising that she hasn't returned. The same goes for Noelle Beck (Trisha, Loving). She was THE heroine of that show. Her romance with Trucker defined Loving. Hell, the only Episodes magazine cover that had Loving characters on it was with Trucker and Trisha, with the headline "The Essence of Loving". IMHO, both of these actresses need to be back in soaps!

    • Great script Great scenes Tracy BLQ Lulu and Dante were Great Poor Rocco. Be ok Damn Gio and Vaughn are hot as hell Not liking BLQ demanding Maxie pick between her and Lulu
    • With the ending of today's great episode, Leslie has to have the biggest donkey dick of courage I've ever seen.
    • The answer I was looking for is "he is Elvis Aron Banks Jr. " which is what I thought was the case but I was too unsure to say so!!!! Thanks, as always. I mean, there is NO Elvis Aron Banks Sr. so there was no real need for Susan to make him a Junior!!!  But, she seems to have her own way of doing, just about everything, which is okay.

      date: Friday, May 2 | Teresa Zimmerman, Judy Tate | Steven Williford The drama-rama is drama'ing! This is juicier than the freshest of fresh peaches picked right from its home. Deadbeat, finally able to get his frustrations out physically on someone; instead of it being Bradley, it's Dana. I love the unraveling of Dana's names (Leslie, Sherry, Anna, et al.). It's juicy. And look at Dr Carlton, chiming in. I love the way Anita and Dani fled to Nicole's side, and then Vernon trying to excuse everyone but "immediate family" (and I am sure Mona as well) from the room. Dana is coming undone. She really is. Her numerous ways of pronouncing "Teddy" to everyone. Oh, Nicole's collapse into a furious Anita hearing "lover" coming from Dana's mouth. BILL KNOWS SOMETHING! His all-too-casual non-denial shows he knew about something concerning the affair, and of course the child bride wants to know what it is. Love that Shanice visited Vanessa; I wonder what kind of friendship they may actually have. Well, now we know Bill's involvement, AND the bombshell has been dropped: Eva is [supposedly] Ted's daughter he thought Dana aborted. "Smarty Marty". Whew. Good name for Deadbeat. I appreciate Dani's anger and hurt being focused into anger and love for Nicole. Dana swishing her way out of the main part of the country club to her closet was everything. A soap villain sashaying her way from the havoc she's wrecked. I appreciate that both Anita and Vernon are assuring Mona is not to blame in this. She's an innocent in this. But her looks to Eva? Those could cut like a butter knife. Douglas knows Vanessa has cheated and is continuing to cheat. ARE WE ABOUT TO GET KATHERINE VERSUS TED?! Oh, this is going to be even juicier than I could have ever asked for. CAN PEOPLE STOP SITTING ON TABLES! IT'S SO ANNOYING! Dana's little daydream of talking to Nicole was everything; that's the "crazy" (a.k.a., mental illness). Billy boy, it's time for your turn in the hot seat. Stop rubbing toes and get your ass to the main house. Not Dana showing up at the Dupree home. Oh, what does she have planned next?! Whew... chile. General notes: Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana) gave an empowered performance in today's episode. She commanded the set that day. This is an Emmy-worthy supporting performance. Ambyr Michelle (Eva) is one that has really shown in the past few episodes; she's another young star in the making. She embodies Eva in every single sense. She brings the scripts to life through her craft. Maurice Johnson (Ted) brought nothing. I'm not surprised he was recast at this point. Keith D. Robinson would have rocked these scenes and actually presented something to the table.
    • I agree!  I'm excited to see if Nicole forgives Ted, if Ted accepts Eva, if Kat accepts Eva, what happens with Leslie... if Martin's story will play into any of this... 
    • I like that I don't know what direction they are going in next for this storyline. It's a great place to be for a fan like myself!
    • I am so appreciative of the camaraderie of watching BTG in real time with other posters here
    • not sure what the costume designer was trying to say about anita with that monstrosity of a necklace. 
    • Me too - Andre is a nice guy and I love to see it.
