As much as I love OLTL, there was a time when they would introduce an entire string of contract characters who pretty much had no real background and proved ultimately insignificant, but I guess that's true of pretty much all the soaps. Because of this, there are so many characters (both memorable and forgettable) that this show had over the years that it's very easy to overlook many of them. But how good is your memory? See which one's you can recall. Feel free to go back as far as 6 months, 6 years, all the way back to 1968, or anywhere else in between. Don't name anyone currently on the show. I'll start with some easy ones: Tina Roberts, Cain Rogan, Cord Roberts, Carlo Hesser. I can name many, many more but I'll start with just those 4. Next!

Delila Ralston - the yummy Shelly Burch!

Years ago, after she had left the show, I remember reading in one of the rags that Shelly had been been brainwashed by a cult and was living in some kind of commune. Later, I read that she had died. I was horrified, as I loved Delila and Burch. Well, in 1999, I went to the the OLTL fan club luncheon, and I asked Bob Woods if any of it was true. He shook his head in disgust, and told me that he had heard about those rumours too, and that they were not true. He was happy to tell me that Shelly was (and remains), alive and well and never joined a commune. Where does this stuff get started?

Loved Shelly Burch. She was an unusually tall woman and a very exotic beauty.

There are lots of characters I remember, but I'm only going to bring up the ones I really miss. Gabrielle, Megan, Sarah, and I just loved Brenda. I wonder whatever happened to that actress. As for recent characters, it's a shame we lost Evangeline

Shelly Burch was beautiful. Especially when she, Bo, and Didi were held in that bomb shelter in 1988!

That story got me hooked on OLTL. I was 13 at the time though, I wonder what I would have thought about it now

She still IS beautiful!

MIKE! That is TWISTED. That is the summer I got hooked on the show- and I was 13! lol

That is funny! I was shocked when Didi died. I was totally upset because IO couldn't believe that they finally escaped and she was electrocuted.

She still IS beautiful!

HOLY COW! Shelly has had some seriously good plastic surgery!

I am dead serious. She did not look like this AT ALL when she came back to OLTL 5 or so years ago for that funeral! Maybe it is still on Youtube.

Delilah was so pretty, and she could sing.

I remember her vividly, as well as her aunt, played by the doctor from Dark Shadows. Also, Elizabeth Sanders, Jaime, and Lord Henry I loved. Brenda and Steve Holden, Michael and Alicia Grande, Wanda and Larry Wolek (his disgraceful erasure from the show is the biggest sin OLTL ever committed). Herb Kallison, loved him.

Anyone remember the mob guy who's name was Tango!

I do.

I am sure I will think of more later, but those are some of the ones I really miss over the years.

Thanks to the fabulous HamiltonBernique over at YouTube, I've been watching lots of 1983-1985 episodes and I have to say that I love me some Wanda, Becky Lee, and Delilah. I'd love it if Wanda and Roxy met. They'd either love each other or hate each other.
