per @Wendy

 

It was a minor role, but K Callan also appeared in the episode "Rich Girl" on Hunter in Season 2, all the way back in 1985 as lawyer Mrs. Jorgensen (no first name given), and mother to her own secretary, played by none other than a young Tonja Walker as Claire Jorgensen (who was more than happy to flirt with Hunter) and played into busting the perp, played by yet another soap-connected actress, Dorian LoPinto!

Interesting to see those actors that had multiple parts as judges and doctors etcon the same show.

In a lot of cases they could have been the same character. I'm sure a judge in Salem would preside over many trials over the years.

[slick jones]

Yep.  John Mansfield was like 5 doctors on Santa Barbara. Why not just one? Just like Mary Gregory.
