I thought this would be a cool thread to ask about former soap stars as well as showcase where they are now as well as current pictures, etc....

Someone needs to get Josh Kelly a job. He's looking rought sicne OLTL ended

and here he is with ex-Baz

STOP. I know what you guys are thinking LOL

I have to figure out how to use the Gizmoplex code for this one I have been out on Friday nights and haven’t watched yet love when fandoms collide.

It has taken entirely too long to see her again after taking OLTL 2.0 by storm, but Kelley Missal was a pregnant mob wife in the fifth episode of HBO Max's Minx. I know she was on one of their teen shows recently too (obviously not a teen anymore). @DRW50

The legendary Kate Mulgrew (RH) and Robert Duncan McNeill (AMC) are featured in this extended look at an upcoming Star Trek: Voyager documentary.

 

Abhi Sinha (Y&R) has been cast as a series regular on the NBC drama pilot Blank Slate. “Sinha will play Cornelius Kepler, the tech specialist on Maya’s Homeland Security team who uses his advanced IT skills to get whatever information they need.”

I hope the series works out well for him. I liked him on Y&R who sadly underutilized him.

Great news

I was glad to see Eileen Davidson congratulating Abhi Sinha (see the above-posted screengrab of his instagram).
I thought they worked well together on Y&R.

Keith Hamilton Cobb (AMC) popping up as a judge on this week’s Law & Order

Keith Hamilton Cobb is bringing his play "American Moor" to Cleveland's Karamu House next month.

I'll be honest, I'm not ready for in-person theater yet but depending on where things are with the virus I might just give this a shot. 

Disclaimer: I'm a Karamu House donor and have been for years. I love this organization so I want everyone reading this to give them money. Give them money right now. 😀

Given that Facebook is constantly suggesting that I become friends with former soap stars, I decided to come up with a game.  Some actors are unrecognizable after their time on soaps, some look as if time has stopped.  Using the spolier option (aka the eye in the upper portion of the reply) tell me your best guess for the following actors and the role for which they are best known.  I added them in order of difficulty.  First one to guess all four wins.

Spoiler

Hint: most of these roles were recast

1 is a not very different at all Kale Browne. Pretty sure 3 is Brian Gaskill.

I briefly thought Chris McKenna had suddenly aged about five years, but checked his social media and thrillingly he has not (he is doing PassionFlix though, @DRW50 in addition to his more esteemed recent works).
