Billy Miller played a villain on the NCIS episode of October 31.  I had the episode on in the background and I was doing household chores, so I wasn't really watching. But then I knew his voice was familiar, so I checked and it was him, so I watched.  He seemed believable.
 

Carolyn Hennesy is *still* a soap actor (GH Diane). 
Just noting here that she guested as the Secretary of the Navy on the NCIS episode of November 14. Her portrayal seemed a bit camp which took me out of the scenes, but the entire episode was written kind of spoofy.
 

Anthony Turpel (formerly RJ from B&B) guested on Nov. 7 episode of Quantum Leap.  He played one of a group of teens that had been sent to an abusive detention camp "school" for wayward youth.  He did a good job.

All Rise, Season Three - multiple episodes for most of the season:  
Sean Blakemore (formerly Shawn Butler of GH) plays smarmy wealthy attorney André Armstrong who once dated lead character Judge Lola Carmichael many years ago, and he is now trying to seduce her.  The character is written as an intelligent and hot guy who knows it, LOL.
Sean Blakemore looks amazing and does great in the role.

I just hate that they made Season Three about a soap love triangle between Lola, her husband Robin and her ex Andre, and gave less emphasis to the legal drama that the show is supposed to be about.  The whole storyline makes Lola look vulnerable and stupid, and that's not who Lola is.
 

All Rise, Season Three, episode 2: Olivia Rose Keegan (formerly Claire Brady on DAYS). She guested for one episode  in a legal case – her character is a person who thrives on social media attention, but is the victim of a crime.  She did great in the role, which was basically an extreme version of Claire Brady.

 

Update on DAYS: Carver and Jules -
The twin children of Eli Grant and Lani Price-Grant:

Twins Veda and Bali Singh both played Julia "Jules" Harriet Grant in a December 2021 episode.
Twins Dion and Raegan Yancy both played a recast Jules in a July 2022 episode.
 

Twin sisters Arya and Wynter Wells both play Carver Malcolm Grant.
They appeared in DAYS episodes of December 2021 and July 2022.

Writing here because of the Wells twins:

All Rise, Season Three: twins Arya and Wynter Wells (baby Carver Grant on DAYS
portray "Bailey" on All Rise. Bailey is the daughter of the lead character Judge Lola Carmichael and her husband Robin Taylor.  Several cute and funny episodes.

According to the twins instagram account ("thewellstwinz"), the Wells twins appear in Episode 6 of the Netflix Dahmer series as baby Tony Hughes.  This is not a series I watch, so I can't verify it, but their instagram is usually reliable.

I'm making my way through the final season of Dead to Me on Netflix and a number of former soap stars appear. Valerie Mahaffey (Ashley, The Doctors) reprises her role as Christina Applegate's mother-in-law. Jason-Shane Scott (Will, One Life to Live) appears as a shirtless guy running down the beach in the first episode. And Nicolas Coster appears in the fourth episode as the father of James Marsden's character. Strangely, Scott's name appears in the closing credits even though he doesn't have any lines, while Coster, who has some lines in a memorable scene with Applegate, goes uncredited.

The lack of credit was surprising to me, especially since Scott got one for running shirtless on a beach. (You barely see Scott's face.) Coster is shown in a wheelchair. I'm still making my way through this season's episodes so I'm not sure if the wheelchair is part of the plot or if he actually uses a wheelchair. The ever wonderful Frances Conroy portrays his wife.

    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
