Thanks. It has but it's been a while.

Always interesting to see when a show is cancelled, which actors pick up another gig quickly and which don't.

Of course, some may have chosen not to do another soap.

Audrey and Ron were so identified with the show that they probably had no offers and being older didn't help at that time when shows were going younger.

In 1980/81

Margo McKenna (Bestsy) went to EON as Emily.

Chandler Hill Harben (Ben) to Texas as Max

Ann McCarthy (Bambi) to Texas as Samantha

Ted La Plat (Eliot) to GL as Andy

Veleka Grey (Mia) to ATWT as Lyla

Ron Harper (Andrew) to AW as Taylor

Dana Delany (Amy) to AYWT as Hayley

Tudi Wiggins (Meg) to AMC as Pamela

Peg Murray (Carrie) to AMC as Olga

Birgitta Tolskdorf was offered a role on Y&R but turned it down.

Interesting that none of those roles lasted.

Have I missed anyone?

I remember in that "catching up with our first cover cast" SOD article from the mid '90s, Ron mentioned doing a lot of theater, so you are probably right. This was where he told the funny story about Yvonne de Carlo asking him to go to bed with her.
