Sally and her daughter baby Hannah on DAYS in 1989. Jennifer briefly fostered Hannah, with Jack's help, when Sally went to prison.

Speaking of Fostered children.... What about Johnny who stayed with Marlena and Don.

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.

Erica tells Bianca to tell "Carl" to make her a spinach souffle - and to make sure she doesn't forget to put the cilantro in!

Actually, that is just an excuse to post this clip. God, Erica is such a BITCH here. Bwahahaha.

God, that is such a fabulous scene. Susan was never better than in that storyline. And indeed, Susan did pronounce Coral/Carl correctly.

And from DAYS I loved Eliana, the Dimera maid, and Marie, the Titan secretary.

Oh, I always loved the Quartermaine butler, Reginald. He was hilarious - especially with his side-eyes and smirks at Edward. Wasn't Edward always threatening to fire him?

  • Member

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.

As part of that storyline, I also remember Nurse Joyce Campbell, played by Sarah Nall. She was suspected of Royal Dunning's murder (& maybe David Thatcher's) to cover up that she ended up keeping and raising one of the babies who was going to be sold.

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
