Members Franko Posted February 17, 2019 Members Share Posted February 17, 2019 I could be wrong, but is John Stamos the only ex-soap actor to go on to play himself on his former soap? And then, just to make things even more confusing, Scotty refers to "Blackie on General Hospital." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 17, 2019 Members Share Posted February 17, 2019 Joan Rivers guest starred on two soaps: On Another World, in 1996, she played Grant's campaign manager, Meredith Dunston.

Members Paul Raven Posted February 17, 2019 Author Members Share Posted February 17, 2019 60's pop star Lesley Gore guested on AMC as June Gordon. Lucci seems to be channeling a lesbian vibe in her honor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members watson71 Posted February 17, 2019 Members Share Posted February 17, 2019 Talk show host Dick Cavett played a magician named "Oliver Twist" who hypnotized Felicia, in September 1988 on Another World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 17, 2019 Members Share Posted February 17, 2019 Dick Cavett also appeared on AMC and GL as himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted February 17, 2019 Members Share Posted February 17, 2019 Dick just couldn't get enough the soaps, I guess. He appeared at least twice on GL (judging the Sampson Girl contest with James Coco and Tammy Grimes, then interviewing Mindy) and on Texas (as a celebrity guest on the game show Texas Tall Tales).

Members applcin Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 Rick Springfield was known before joining GH but I think his being on the show at a time in the early 80s when it was extremely popular helped in terms of his visibility for his music career. Ricky Martin was also famous before GH, having been in Menudo. I don't know that being on the show necessarily helped much but, of course, post GH, his music career reignited. Well-known character actor John Fiedler did double stints on OLTL, first as Virgil (the angel that guided Viki to Heaven) and then as just regular guy, Gilbert. Les Tremayne, another old Hollywood actor, was Victor Lord in that same Heaven storyline and also subbed for David Lewis (himself also an old character actor) for a time on GH. Frank Maxwell (Dan Rooney, GH) can also be seen on many old tv shows prior to starting on GH in the 70s. We may not always remember their names or watch some of those old shows & movies anymore but these guys had extensive bodies of work before the soaps. Larry Gates (HB Lewis, GL) would be another one. Joseph Campanella & Nita Talbot others. Kim Hunter was Nola Madison on EON. Arlene Dahl came to OLTL for several years in the 80s. Anne Meara on AMC.

Members Khan Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 For some reason, I'm remembering Michael McDonald (the singer, not the "MADtv" cast member) being on Y&R. Did that actually happen, or is that just wishful thinking on my part? Also, didn't Jeffrey Osborne appear on (I think) SB, and Johnny Mathis and Patti Austin on ATWT? To me, though, he'll always be the voice of Piglet and Mr. Peterson on "The Bob Newhart Show." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 Yeah, Jeffrey Osborne was on SB. I remember seeing that clip. https://youtu.be/mawtIqAwVl0 Celine Dion on AMC as mentioned: ALSO (lol) ESPN host Stephen A.

Members All My Shadows Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 I believe MJB performed at Starr's birthday party. Snoop made an additional appearance to perform "Sexual Eruption" at Adriana's bachelorette party, complete with Layla and Adriana "dancing" on either side of him.
