One & Done: Actors Who Only Appeared on One Soap


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I guess this would be the flip side of the soap hoppers thread. Susan Lucci is known of course for playing the same role on the same soap for over 40 years - but she appeared on bit parts in other soaps before landing AMC. I'll start with the actors whose characters inspired my username and go from there.

 

Kerry Sherman (Amy Perkins Wallace, SB, 1984-86)

Richard Eden (Brick Wallace, SB, 1984-87)

Robin Wright (Kelly Capwell #1, SB, 1984-88)

Kimberly McArthur (Kelly Capwell #2, SB, 1988-89)

Carrington Garland (Kelly Capwell #3, 1989-1991)

Anne Heche (Vicky/Marley, AW, 1987-1991)

Erika Slezak (Victoria Lord, OLTL, 1971-2012)

AFAIK, Meg Ryan, Marisa Tomei and Lyndsay Frost, Steven Weber, as well as ex-wife Finn Carter were only ever on ATWT.

Lauryn Hill who did one or two film roles before devoting herself to music, only appeared on ATWT as well.

 

Nia Long was only on GL, I think.

@AbcNbc247
l'm pretty sure that Kim Johnston Ulrich appeared on ATWT in the previous decade.

Anne Meachem was on The Brighter Day and Kim Johnston was Diana on ATWT.

 

I'm trying to think of performers who had fairly prominent roles on a show but never accepted another daytime gig.

Y&R

Trish Stewart

Pam Peters

Thom Bierdz

Brenda Dickson (!)

Wings Hauser

    • Brook Lynn has been working my last nerve for at least 2 weeks. I was so relieved when she blurted out her teen queen story to her grandmother who is the most wonderful person in the entire world!
    • Just caught up and these episodes were absolutely amazing! Ambyr Michelle was soooooooooo good, and I felt so bad for Eva, I actually teared up. I love that Andre was nice to her, that was my favorite Andre moment of the series thus far.

      I don't need to warn you that if you like this & want to keep it download it. Now, isn't she positively amazing?!!! Well, IMO she is. This is only the first episode that I've got her in. I think there will be more.
    • All true, and all an enormous problem on this show. -- The business stories are maddening because none of it makes any sense, none of it has any connection to the real world. As you said, sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers, and job switching is not a storyline. -- The deck chairs are constantly rearranged on the Titanic -- that's what this show is. Summer, Chelsea, Sally, and Chloe have been in design for how long? And we've never seen ANYTHING from them. Carrying around an iPad isn't enough. BOLD is terrible, but at least they show us dresses from Kohls and jewelry from Amazon. -- I know it's baked into the DNA of the show, but I will never enjoy seeing Jabot and Newman treat each other as if no other companies exist in the entire world. A new magical line of cosmetics is not going to bring down a company like Jabot. -- This is a writing problem, not a budget problem. An enormous amount of cash is not needed to write compelling business stories and show real products. This is writer LAZINESS.  
    • Right? GOD FORBID Vanessa be allowed to cut her own mother-in-law down to size, when REVA REVA REVA needs a rival to sharpen her claws on. RME I mean, they could have, but Long and Curlee (like most HW) seemed to forget about characters once they left town. If they mentioned Trish five times in the ten years she was gone, I'd be surprised.  Yeah, Alex didn't really do friendship, other than Lillian. And most of the time, Henry.  And somehow, by the time she leaves, Sonni is some friend of Mo's? Mo is just everyone's default "friend". SMH.
    • I really have no problem with Kai as a character or with the actor. The problem is putting together two very nice people -- Kai and Trina. Neither of them has a bad side, neither of them has a devil on the shoulder, neither of them is impulsive. I think that's a problem in a soap relationship. Yeah, I agree. All this freaking out might make sense if Lulu wanted to do a tabloid expose on BLQ's LOVE CHILD. We have no indication that's the case.  
    • So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.
    • The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.
