Members soapfan770 Posted December 13, 2009 Members Share Posted December 13, 2009 I might go with Anthony Addabbo, Linda Cook, Charles Grant, and Peter Brown as actors who were on multiple soaps without having any defining roles. Rod Arrants might count has an actor who had one defining role one but never did on other soaps. He was famous and popular on SFT as Travis but his roles on Days and Y&R were rather unmemorable despite being paired with leading ladies Hall and Davidson respectively.

Members Cheap21 Posted December 13, 2009 Members Share Posted December 13, 2009 How about Michael Sabatino. I think he's like the perfect example I never even knew he was Philip I think Brian's was defiently Rafe on PC. He was immensely popular when he was on the show, especially when the character was paired up with Alison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 13, 2009 Members Share Posted December 13, 2009 I dont think there's much of a confusion about which is each of these actor's defining role Hillary Smith - Nora, OLTL Susan Flannery, Stephanie, BB John McCook, Eric, BB Debbi Morgan, Angie, AMC Darnell Williams, Jesse, AMC Heather Tom, Victoria, YR Julie Pinson, Eve, PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 13, 2009 A lot of people who watched soaps in the 70s may always remember Susan as Laura Horton, and John as Lance Prentiss. There are a lot of people who always remember Hillary as Margo Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 13, 2009 Members Share Posted December 13, 2009 true but I think the Susan and John have been in their B&B roles for so long that it is their defining ones, especially since they are original cast members. I have no idea who Lance Prentiss even is and what show he's from. Hillary, I distinctly define her with Nora, but admittidely, Ive never seen her as Margo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TC Posted December 13, 2009 Members Share Posted December 13, 2009 So did I. But I think I love her even more now as that particular footnote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted December 13, 2009 Members Share Posted December 13, 2009 It's weird, but three Margo's each played her during pivitol times in her life. I'd definitely say Margo and Nora are both defining roles for Hilary B Smith. She wasn't just an ATWT character, she was a CBS superstar because of that role. The power of her stories lives on today. My mom screamed "Margo!" when she saw her on OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted December 13, 2009 Members Share Posted December 13, 2009 Nicholas Pryor is somebody who also comes to mind. According to the IMDB, he starred in The Brighter Day, Young Dr. Malone, The Secret Storm, AW, The Nurses, Love Is a Many Splendored Thing, AMC, EON, BH 90210, and PC. Perhaps his most famous role was that of Tom Baxter on AW, who (in 1964) pressured Pat Matthews into getting a back-alley abortion, which left her sterile. (Pat later shot Tom dead.)

Members Faulkner Posted December 13, 2009 Members Share Posted December 13, 2009 My mother (a former ATWT fan) did the exact same thing when she saw HBS as Nora on OLTL. Looking at some old Marland-era clips on YouTube, HBS is quite charming as Margo. Ellen Dolan is a much harder Margo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yeah, I know fans who still see her as Margo, and who still see Ellen Dolan as Maureen Bauer, not Margo. Ellen is harder, but I think the writing is the big difference. When Marland wrote for Ellen's Margo, she had much more humor and heart and vulnerability than she had after Marland's passing.

Members Khan Posted December 13, 2009 Members Share Posted December 13, 2009 IMO, Margo's that rare soap character who's been recast more than once quite successfully. Margaret Colin, HBS, and ED each has put her own "spin" on the character; and each has made the character successful and memorable w/ the audience in her own way, too. Honestly, I can't decide which is my favorite of the three (although, Colin comes close, just for the chemistry she shared w/ Justin Deas' Tom). OTOH, Tom Hughes? Not always so easy to recast. Deas was good, and so is Holmes. Gregg Marx? Eh, okay. But that one between him and Deas? Jason Kincaid? He was to Tom what Glynnis O'Connor ended up being to Margo.
