Non soap stars you wish were on soaps

Are there any actors (big name or primetime etc...) that any of you wish were on your favorite soap because you think they would have brought something special to the show? i myself in recent posts have talked about bringing on a couple actors from MTV'S "Teen Wolf" on to Y&R because I can see them as some of the legacy children, plus they are exceptional actors (And I know the show's a mess but getting the show's younger cast right is one of the key elements in fixing the show if it were to happen) But i think that's why none of them are doing soap operas at the same time.

Those people are obviously in their early 20's but it can be actors of any ages you guys can think of.

I actually think she would have made for an amazing Marissa on AMC, and much better than what the show hired. I wouldnt have found her boring and she would probably rock as a lawyer

I preferred Maureen McCormick as Rebecca Hotchkiss over Andrea Evans.

I wish Joan Collins made a daytime comeback

far as ones who never been on a soap:

Susan Dey

Angela Bassett

Mariska Hargitay

Alfre Woodard

Sanaa Lathan

Denzel Washington

Sam Jackson

While I think she would be horrible as a recurring or contract actress on a soap, I would like to see Jennifer Aniston in a cameo with her father on Days. Bonus points if she comes to town with Matt LeBlanc as Dr. Drake Ramoray (just kidding).

As for non soap stars I wish were on soaps, Neil Patrick Harris comes to mind (not sure about him doing drama, but he sure commits to his roles).

I'd love to see Jennifer cameo on Days.

Are her and her father on good terms? I so rarely hear her mention him.

He is a little older now, but Ted McGinley would have been perfect in a role like Daniel from DOOL or it would be interesting to see him as a psycho in a role.

Angela Bassett

Actually, Bassett portrayed Leonie Price on RYAN'S HOPE.

Mariska Hargitay

And she portrayed Carly Fixx on FALCON CREST.

Excellent choices, though! :)

Never mind. I forgot she was on "Ugly Betty."
