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!

    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
    • Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
    • Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
    • Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.
    • He a dirty dog! Those are his kids and he hurt everyone. At this point he needed to just come clean. I can't believe I was lusting over this man! I hope they aren't quick to forgive.
    • The way I took it is that he did not want to confirm or deny anything until he talked to Nicole first. He was very calculated with the wording he used with Martin and Kat
    • I still see Alfonso Ribeiro as Carlton when Martin gets angry.
    • Not that I want to defend Y&R's writers, but it's not as absurd as you'd think and I believe they plucked it from reality (and then bungled it). The Estee Lauder Companies purchased Tom Ford's brand several years ago and I am willing to bet that's how Jabot came to buy Marchetti.
    • Loved the episode today. looking forward to the fallout. Nubian-Sheila looked fantastic, but I wish the writers would cut back on her overuse of figurative language. I loved the "fix yo mind ministries" line though. The background music during her fantasy confrontation with Nicole was epic.
    • Nothing makes sense on this show. I wish there was a garbage can emoji. That sums up 90% of the show right now.
