Erik Rhodes was also on The Guiding Light (having replaced Don Scardino) and also on the Califoria-based serial General Hospital.

Eleanor Phelps also appeared on All My Children (I think that she played the aunt of Mary Fickett.)

James Ray was on The Edge of Night (as the ex-husband of Millette Alexander) and on another show (possibly Dark Shadows?).

Back to Eleanor Phelps:   Mary Fickett had to miss a Christmas or Christmas Eve episode and was replaced by Willi Burke (or Willi Apell), who was the actress who had replaced Barbara Britton on One Life to Live after Miss Britton's death.   (I think that she was also a replacement on Love of Life.)   Shortly after this, Mary Fickett was written off All My Children for a week or two.   It was said that her character was away taking care of a sick aunt.   After Miss Fickett's return, Eleanor Phelps came to Pine Valley for awhile as the aunt.   (I never had thought about this, but this could have been part of a plan to take the place of  Kay Campbell's character (Kate Martin) after the death of Miss Campbell.)   I don't think that Miss Phelps had much warmth, as Miss Campbell did.

Here's a list of Bright Promise performers as listed in Variety by year and month.

Some of these dates don't correspond to your list Slick and in some instances this may be because they were recurring players and Variety mentioned them for one of their appearances(not necessarily their first).For some of the actors,Variety says '________,in for additional segments of Bright Promise' so their debut date could be earlier.
