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.

    • Ah okay, thats what I thought. I was hoping I missed the announcement somewhere. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
