ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?

It was a small part as the lead's boss. He looked the same, only with white/gray hair.

Great Q&A with John Driscoll about his decision to leave acting to join the army:

For some reason, he looks much older in that top photo than I had expected.

Wow...that's awesome. I thank him for his service. God bless him.

Oh, yeah, I have the issue that John Discoll interview is in. He even looks older, but still looks handsome.

Ariane Muenker, who also acted under the name of Ariana Chase, runs an online business with her husband. She was best known for her roles on the NYC soaps in the 70s and 80s (AW, ATWT, GL, RH, etc.) and as a short-term Kimberly Brady on DAYS when Patsy Pease had to leave for personal/health reasons.

Checked out Ariane's website. Another get thin/ make money venture. That's the best headshot she could come up with?

Christopher Cousins (Cain Rogan, OLTL) has a role as the silver fox potential love interest of Ben Daniels' sexy renegade priest on FOX's surprisingly underrated and likely soon to be cancelled The Exorcist series - a very gay-friendly show in both seasons and an unexpectedly great carrier of the franchise torch. And I'm real picky when it comes to The Exorcist, as the original and Bill Blatty's Part III are all-time favorite films of mine.

Several soap alums doing well for themselves on new shows turn up for the Vulture Festival photoshoot.

Florencia Lozano (Tea, OLTL, GH, OLTL 2.0) on Kevin Can Wait as Kevin James' neighbor and potential cooking  love interest.

 

Lois Smith(OLTL, TD, EON, AW, and so many more)  on 9JKL with Linda Lavin (TD, 1963, The Nana--The OC). Not a great show, but LS was funny as  "Wrong Grandma"

  

Both 11/20 on CBS.

[amybrickwallace]

I'll have to On Demand that episode of 9JKL just to see Lois Smith. But you're right...9JKL is not a great show, or even a good one. 

[slick jones]

Cancelled a week or two ago. Smith is worth it. I wish Linda Lavin could not be typecast, she's better than these overbearing characters she keeps getting.

[amybrickwallace]

It's cancelled already? Why am I not surprised?

 

Yes, Linda Lavin always seems to play the nagging Jewish mother on TV. Yet, she played the part to chilling effect years ago on an episode of L&O: CI. Outside of Alice Hyatt and before her, the volatile Det. Janice Wentworth on Barney Miller, she always does seem to play the same character on TV. Judging by her sheer volume of stage work, she's capable of so much more.

According to this article: http://deadline.com/2017/11/cbs-s-w-a-t-full-season-order-jkl-3-more-episodes-no-decision-wisdom-of-the-crowd-jeremy-piven-1202208327/ they gave 9JKL three additional episodes so they haven't cancelled it yet...
