Will Rappaport, Spencer Truman, Jacara Principal (worked with and dated R.J. Gannon and also tried to seduce brother Hank on one occasion), Laura Jean Ellis (redhead who dated Dr. Dan Wolek), Chip Cooper (street punk who Joy O'Neill fell for).

Leo Cromwell and his daughter Christine Cromwell who developed a crush on Wade Coleman. Also, Billie Giordano (Wade's skanky ex-girlfriend played by actress Lisa Peluso). Cyndy London (sister of Dr. Patrick London and Kate Sanders' best friend), Frank O'Neill (Harry O'Neill's brother), Clover Wilde, and wacky Alex Olanov.

According to spoilers, Alex returns in January, if only for a little while!

Frank O'Neill (Harry O'Neill's brother)

It was Pete O'Neill, played by James O'Sullivan! He left town with Pamela Buchanan in 1987. Pam has not mentioned him the few times that she has been back.

YAY!!!! More characters: Nash Brennen, Hank Gannon, Rachel Gannon, Skye Chandler, Johnny Dee (Carlo Hesser's bad-ass mobster son).

That's correct! I was thinking of the actor named Frank Converse who played Pete's brother Harry. STILL more characters: Rev. Andrew Carpenter, Billy Douglas, Luna Moody, Dylan Moody, Ty Moody, Suede Pruitt, Powell Lord, and Rebecca Lewis.

THE LATE GREAT ASA BUCHANAN, of course!

It breaks my heart nobody has mentioned the greatest of the greats: Dr Ivan Kipling. (I forgot him too)

I just remember he was being eaten by alligators in a swamp one time, and he had some sort of hand.

I mentioned him, you might have missed it in the sea of names.

Steve Piermont, Karen Wolek's lover, played by JL's future husband, Robert Desiderio.

Actually, I remember a few other characters but not their names. Donald Lamarr had a henchman (who gave Mari Lyn Denison the creeps) played by Stewart Finlay- McClennan, who went on to play Neil Macneil in "Christy." Two guys helping to keep Bo, Didi and Delilah hostage included the actor who was Ian Deveraux on EON and Colm Meaney, who's done a lot of roles but is most familiar to me from Star Treks TNG and DS9 as Chief Miles O'Brien. There was also a husband and wife team who owned a club during the time Tina was jailed for Maria's murder. The wife was played by Judith Chapman. The husband got killed in prison. Comedian Kevin Pollack appeared performing at the club.

Now that I think about it, how about all the characters from Clint's 1888 storyline, many of which were played by actors already on the show--Ginny Fletcher, Randolph Lord, The McGillis family, Cody, Clear Eyes, Blaze Buchanan, Buck Buchanan.

Oh, and Aida York, the one who was trying to kill David Renaldi.

Father Tony Vallone, who fell in love with Gabrielle Medina, both onscreen and off.

One of my recent favorites, RJ's old nutty ass daughter Keri, mother of Jamie.

How about 2001/2002's ENDLESS slew of random newbies: Chad (no last name?), Emily MacIver, Shannon nolastname, Molly nolastname, Alice (Lindsay's inmate), Seth...

Loved Joan Copeland's penultimate dragon lady: Gwendolyn Lord Abbott. When she put a trollop in her place, said trollop stayed put. It's long past time she returned to Llanview.

Remember Marty's Aunt Kiki? She sold Marty's house right from under her to Dorian.

And Ethel Crawford? She was a key character during the whole Irene's diary/Victor Lord's murder ordeal.

Then there was Beth Garvey, River's mother... that was a sad story.

Who was the woman that Cord found living in the woods? I think she had two names, one of them was Olivia...
