Cool idea for a post!

Maybe we can unearth the whereabouts of some past soapers.

SOD & SOW used to run Where Are They Now issues every once in a while.

It's always interesting to me to see what people choose to do when showbiz loses it's luster or work has dried up.

Jane Badler (ex Melinda OLTL Natalie DRS )now lives in Melbourne Australia.She went there in the late 80's to film the Mission Impossible remake series,fell in love and stayed on.She acts occasionally on stage and TV as well as singing in clubs.She recently recorded a CD.

Scott Thompson Baker(ex Colton GH Craig AMC Connor B&B)is now on You Tube hawking some Christian based motivational stuff called CapturedDestiny based on the 'lost' writings of someone called Wallace D Wattles.The website promises everything short of world peace all at the special price of just $97.00!!!

Brad Maule (ex Tony GH) is hosting Texas county Line on some cable channel called BHTV as well as teaching at Stephen F. Austin University at Nacogdoches.

She married VERY well. Chuck Lorre is RICH and he had the guts to tell Cybill Shepherd, to her face, that she was an ego maniacal bitch who was jealous that Christine Baranski won and Emmy and she didn't. Cybill fired him of course, but damn that moment must have felt great.

Joe Breen is married to Carlene Carter, Johnny Cash's stepdaughter. He performs on stage with her. Here's a pic of them from last month: (Nice to see him doing well.)

From what I've read, Michael Sutton owns several trendy restaurants in LA and is a promoter. He seems to have fingers in a lot of pies and is doing well.

If anybody watches Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, you'll see John Littlefield (the last Gary Sinclair on AW) and Rib Hillis (the first resident killed off Port Charles, Dr. Jake Marshak). They've obviously become successful home designers. Nicholas Walker is a successful landscaper.

I wouldn't say that "they've obviously become successful home designers." It's more a case of "they've obviously joined the cast of a successful home makeover show." (Warning: If you don't want your bubble to feel bursted about such "home reality" shows, just scroll! Scroll away from here!!) ;)

Like a lot of the personalities you see on TV, Littlefield is simply a television personality hired to portray an on-screen carpenter. As with many people out there, he knows the basics of carpentry, but he has no formal training or background as a designer or builder. Rib Hillis also has no formal training as a designer. He auditioned for EMHE and got the gig to be an on-screen "designer" personality. So it's anybody's guess as to how much of what comes out of his mouth came from his head. Frankly, they are hired for their looks and on-screen presence above anything else.

That's the way these shows run. Most of the work on home shows is performed by a construction crew and/or production assistants (even on ones where the homeowners are supposedly "doing it themselves").

But you're right, appearing on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is what they're doing. :)

    • Dina was Jack, Ashley and Tracy's mom on Y&R.  Joanna was Lauren Fenmore's mother, played by Susan Seaworth-Hayes.

      I would only add that Sam Ratcliff is frequently named in regards to certain AW comedic turns.  And, we know from Carolyn Culliton (tweet 2024) that Sam & Gary put their heads together & came up with that gorilla.  
    • I knew you would be so excited seeing your girl Brookey as #1!!!! She also WINS as to Frequently Married!!!  
    • Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.
    • Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

    • CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm
    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons. 
    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
