Soap Hoppers --The Soap Actors And Roles Thread

[Wendy]

In the "not soap" files for John Shearin, he had a heavily-recurring role on Hunter from Seasons 2 through the end of Season 4 as Lieutenant Ambrose Finn, and Finn got a great, albeit sad, swan song. In real life, Shearin died not long ago, I recall reading. Last year or the year before.

 

Good actor.

[amybrickwallace]

He passed a year ago this month, per this article:

 

http://www.ecu.edu/cs-admin/news/Shearin-Memorium.cfm

 

I'm looking forward to seeing his work on The Doctors, as the 7th (!!) Dr. Mike Powers. He debuted in early 1977. Retro TV is now in the reruns from mid-November 1975, so I figure it will be about 5 or 6 months before we'll see him. Thank goodness for two episodes a day!!

Could you tell me who played Liz (a waitress at McKays) on All My Children.   I have watched an old episode in which she introduces herself.   She looks very familiar.

 

Was it this actress, Kimberly Foster? She was Liz Sloan, Allison's mom in 1994-95

Regarding Elaine Princi...

      There was a wig saleswoman at Parker's in a scene with Cathy Ryker on The Doctors dated 1/8/73 that looks like Elaine Princi, but she wasn't credited. I can't confirm it was her.

The new actors have been added to  the list on page one.

 

I have a message out to Bruce Martin of EON and LOL. I asked him about his LOL character.  I also asked if he had any other daytime roles.

[danfling]

I had been told that the Bruce Martin on Love of Life was not the same actor who appeared on The Edge of Night.  After he completed his roles of Keith (aka Jonah), Mr. Martin worked as a crew member of The Edge of Night.   This information (on that it was a different person on Love of Life) may be incorrect, but it is what I was told.

[slick jones]

Two tidbits:

 

Vincent Irizarry had a role on Capitol before Guiding Light...

 

Clarice Blackburn was "Mrs. Jarvis" on ATWT   possibly around 1987.

 

I'll add them tomorrow.

[P.J.]

Mary Kay Adams

Audrey Peters

Tudi Wiggins

Peggy McCay

Mary Stuart

Larry Haines

Larry Gates

William Roerick

Courtney Simon

Peter Simon (bonus points for cheesy pic from his ATWTstint)

Colleen Dion

Robert Mandan

Nikki Goulet

 

It is really tough trying to think of people. 

[slick jones]

@P.J.   Great List!  I'll add Lynn Herring, Barbara Stanger, Donna Wandrey, and Sloane Shelton to the list. I'll be back to posting tomorrow. Currently finishing dates for my next installment of ATWT's cast list.

 

[P.J.]

Well, cheated a little bit. And I'm not even sure if Robert Mandan was on a soap...other than Soap.
