Soap Opera Cast Lists and Character Guides- Cancelled and Current

[slick jones]

A nice response from Marcia McCabe

 

 

Boy Eric.. you certainly know your soaps! 
Prior to my “big break” on SFT, I had a really small part on ATWT playing nurse Mary Griffin for about a dozen episodes. Then came SFT for my 8 plus year run. Alicia Grande on OLTL was a fabulous part and I loved working with Dennis and Fiona for the year I was on. Then I got pregnant with Yvonne.
AMC and ATWT were parts I took ( and both were challenging and interesting characters!)while a new Mom 
and once I got pregnant again I wanted to be a mom full time.. especially since Chris was so very busy.
I feel blessed to have had the best of both worlds!! Thanks for your interest and for being so loyal to daytime. Might be fun to go back someday.....☀️❤️

Wow, I had NO idea Marcia McCabe had ever been on AMC!

[Melroser]

She was also on AW in '95 playing Bunny Eberhardt. I believe it was right after Jake returned from "the dead" and he owed gambling money or something. She came to collect for her boss(es) and held he and Paulina hostage. 

[slick jones]

My original message to her:

 

Thank you again for accepting my friend request. I have a question about your daytime history, if that's all right.I have been working on soap opera cast lists for many years, and in reading articles from soap/daytime magazines that you had small roles on One Life to Live, All My Children, Another World, As the World Turns and Love of Life prior to your role of Sunny Adamson on Search For Tomorrow. I'll never forget your episode with Jack Benton (Patrick James Clarke). You were amazing in that storyline.

I realize that many of those magazines are known for misinformation, but I wondered about the previous roles. I have you as Sunny Adamson on SFT, attorney Leslie Dupre on AMC, hit woman Bunny Eberhart on AW, Caroline Wheatley(Brian's ex-wife) on ATWT, and Alicia Grande on OLTL. If I missed any roles, please let me know. If you can fill me in on any of your early parts, I and several other fans would be very happy to know a little bit about them. 

[slick jones]

Through a little hunting in some old synopses, Mariann Aalda's character on OLTL was Detective Delores. 

[Paul Raven]

Great work Slick and so nice of Marcia to respond.

 

Will you be adding any more soaps to the list?

 

I have some actors/characters to add to 'Date With Life' of all things and will do so  in the next few days.

 

 

[slick jones]

I'm finishing up some GH  Masterlist and The Doctors info I need to plug in. I'm almost set to do As The World Turns list of "B" names, I'm just trying to find a few more dates.  I'll see if I have a few more short lists to post in the next week or so--- ROAD TO REALITY, ROAD OF LIFE, THE NURSES, TODAY IS OURS,  AND FIRST LOVE  aren't very long, I'll try to get two up by the end of the week

I'm also putting up a soaps cast list FB page with what's been posted here. Once I get that up and running, I'll let anyone interested know about it.

@dc11786, @Paul Raven   any other information I missed?

Edited January 30, 2018 by slick jones

[danfling]

interesting bit of trivia:   Ann Flood replaced Susan Brown on From These Roots.   Susan Brown replaced Ann Flood on The Edge of Night during one of the maternity leaves of Ms. Flood.

 

 

I believe that John Karlen also played a role on Kitty Foyle.

[slick jones]

@danfling  Do you recall anything about the character he may have played. I'll add him by the end of the weekend.
