@slick jones I think Joshua Benard had a bit role on Days when he was a kid.  Do you remember that  @JAS0N47, or did I imagine it, lol?

[slick jones]

Nice catch!  He was Tommy in 2013.

[John]

Is Joshua Bernard's new GH role, a main role. I could see them saying Oscar aint dead, that Peter faked it now that Drew is back

[Forever8]

God, I hope not! Let him be a new love interest for Trina. 

[Vee]

Oscar is roasting in Hell with Morgan.

[John]

Supposedly GH was casting a new guy for Joss. 

[Forever8]

Enough! How many boys are going to be for Joss? Oscar, Dev, Cameron, Spencer (for a second) and now a new one. Stop! 

How come my girl Trina can't get someone who likes her and have Spencer realizing he need to fight for Trina? 

[Vee]

Because Joss is under 25, white and fulfills the Starr/Kristen Alderson archetype Frank has been desperate to fill on this show for years.

Speculation is that JJ Benard may just be Young Sonny in flashbacks again.  I'm also pretty sure he appeared in the Christmas episodes they used to do with the parade, Christmas story, etc.  A lot of the kids they used were kids of the production staff/actors.

MIRA WATERS

UNKNOWN ROLES

AS THE WORLD TURNS           1965

SEARCH FOR TOMORROW     PRE-1968

ANOTHER WORLD   Almost cast in a contract role (possibly Peggy)  may have been  cast in a small role.

LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING    PRE-1969

 

FROM @jam6242

 I found an article from 1968 that said she had been on AS THE WORLD TURNS, SEARCH FOR TOMORROW, and ANOTHER WORLD. Found another article from 1969 that said she had also been on LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING. That article said she had been up for a contract role on AW when she was 20 but the producers decided she looked too young (I'll bet that was the role Micki Grant got---Peggy). So I don't know whether she had a bit role on AW as well. Another article from 1969 said that she had been a familiar face on daytime for three years. One of my sources is down for maintenance so I'll have to check that one later.
