Applcin, the name of the OLTL henchman played by Stewart Finlay-McLennan was Griffin, according to the credits of this 1987 episode. I LOVED him as Dr. MacNeill on Christy. Ironically, two OLTL stars would show up on Christy in guest appearances - John Loprieno and Susan Diol, the latter whose character had a connection to the good doctor. Future OLTL writer Pam Long was also one of the show's writer/producers.

I think you're right, Monika. And Reginald was kinda cute, too. If I recall, he was nephew of the Qs' previous butler, Jennings (the actor died?).

ETA: And now that I'm looking it up, good for Stephen Kay, transitioning into his producing/correcting career. Not a fan of the facial hair, though, but the bald is a good look.

This doesn't really count, but I still "remember" Joan, who was Erica's off-screen secretary for a spell on AMC. She just seemed to be the most incompetent bitch alive (if her somewhat demanding boss is to be believed).

Another one: Wanda on GL. You just knew she would get on the horn at every chance and gossip to all her BFFs about the Lewises and about Reva in particular.

I remember Hedy, Todd & Blair's maid on OLTL, and Suzanne, Starr and Jack's nanny when they were kids.

I also remember Howard & Rosemary, who owned the Bingham Inn, where Max & Gabrielle after he "rescued" her from the convent. They eventually got married there.

GH

V-loved her. Does she count? She did have some story but it was super unimportant

Jordan-the one lawyer that didn't sleep with Sonny

Leticia-Sonny's maid or nanny or whatever that died

Reginald-the Q's butler. What ever happened to him? He was replaced by that annoying Alice. BTW, I know he is like super successful in real life, but did they ever mention where he went?

Annabelle and Foster-I am not sure if animals count, but I thought their love affair story was cute

Johnny-Sonny and Jason's guard when they actually seemed compentent

Harry Silver-not sure if he's minor enough Sonny's "Jason" before Jason who seemed completely normal and then accidently started the ball rolling to the limo explosion that killed Lily. Only to show up months later with the ridiculous plan to trap Sonny and Brenda in the catacombs to kill them

    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat. 
    • Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that.  The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT. 
    • IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with.  Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far.
