Members ~bl~ Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 I don't consider Charity Rahmer a soap star either, even if she had a long term contract and was let go quickly. To me a Cam is a soap opera alum as he was on Y&R...if a famous person is a guest on a soap as themselves they aren't a soap star or alum, if they play an actual character I'd begrudgingly use alum. I don't even consider the actors who appeared on online AMC or OLTL who weren't on the shows prior to the web as soap stars (except if I said star of the online version of AMC or star of the online version of OLTL). Getting back on topic, Tina Sloan (Lillian from GL) tweeted earlier this week that she was at an event where she saw Susan Lucci and Agnes Nixon at the next table chatting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 But those versions were soaps, they even have the awards to prove it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Actors and Actresses are just that, they act. No reason to segerate them ijust because they may work in one medium more than others Edited July 25, 2014 by John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 Saw this commercial today when flipping through the Viacom channels. Kelly Sullivan is on a new Nick show. The pilot will be a tv movie premiering his weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cuzIsaySo Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think kelly sullivan has the acting range to play an adult in a show like ICarly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 Actually, I think even this project might be beyond her reach. Kelly needs to stick with working in retail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 She'll fit right in at Nick. Most of there shows are beyond terrible right now and the parents and the kids are equally horrible in the acting department. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'd consider the people who were only on the online versions of AMC or OLTL as soap alums, not soap stars--the same way I see other actors who were on soaps for a short amount of time. I should have clarified that, sorry. (Once I read an article, where writer referenced Ron Raines as a OLTL star, and he appeared on less than 10 episodes of the online version. He wasn't a OLTL star even if due to his time on GL, I would consider him a GL star or a soap opera star.) The shows didn't last long enough in that format to get any new performers to the point of being stars within the genre though they were stars of that version. I don't consider people who are alumni of short-lived prime-time soaps as soap stars regardless of how large their role was either. (I could ramble on this for hours.) Kelly Sullivan wouldn't be the first to get a job on a kids' show after appearing in daytime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cuzIsaySo Posted July 25, 2014 Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 At least the kids on those show have the excuse of being under the age of 12 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted July 26, 2014 Members Share Posted July 26, 2014 The only stand-out actress in any of the NICK shows I've seen (which isn't much, as I don't have kids) happens to be a soap alum - Maree Cheatham on the recently cancelled Sam & Cat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cuzIsaySo Posted July 26, 2014 Members Share Posted July 26, 2014 I have KL to thanks for making me discover Maree Cheatham I thought she was amazing as loony Mary Robison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cuzIsaySo Posted July 26, 2014 Members Share Posted July 26, 2014 I also wanted to mention that Annie Wershing (ex-Amelia,GH) was on the Hallee Berry's summer replacement show premiere Extant. I dont know if she qualifies as a soap star to others but she does to me. I loved Amelia and she was perfect for sonny considering she had no qualms about using the manwhore for mind-bending sex and nothing else 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted July 26, 2014 Members Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yeah, the few times I saw S&C I loved Maree as the loving yet zany Nona. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
