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. :)

    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
