One & Done: Actors Who Only Appeared on One Soap

[Legacy]

Lol from what i heard pam Peters hardly wanted to be on the y&r set, what did she refuse to do? I heard one day while filming she got up and left the building.

[namkcuR]

I've come up with a number of fairly notable ones, that iMDB says never acted in another soap...

 

Michael Nader - AMC(if we're only counting daytime; he was obviously on Dynasty)

Cameron Mathison - AMC

Sarah Michelle Geller - AMC

Colin Eggsfield - AMC

Trevor St. John - OLTL

Renee Elise Goldsberry - OLTL

Michael Storm - OLTL

Clint Ritchie - OLTL

Phil Carey - OLTL

Thom Christopher - OLTL

Jonathan Jackson - GH

[heffer]

Thom Christopher was on Guiding Light, Edge of Night, and Loving.

[Wendy]

What about Brenda Epperson of Y&R, Ashley #2?

[AbcNbc247]

She briefly appeared on Passions

[Paul Raven]

Michael Nader was on ATWT (Kevin Thompson) in the 70's.

[DramatistDreamer]

Has Patricia Bruder been on any soap other than ATWT?

[robbwolff]

Phil Carey was on Bright Promise.

[Paul Raven]

Only some radio soaps in the 50's.

 

Seems like a good time to promote the Soaphoppers thread in the Cancelled soaps section,

Hundreds of performers and their appearances in radio, daytime and primetime soaps. Some surprising names there.

[titan1978]

Was Kristina Wagner on another soap?  I know she was on PC for a few episodes as Felicia, but I kind of think that doesn’t count.

 

Also what about Brynn Thayer and Judith Light?

[jcar03]

 

Brynn Thayer was on GH in 1994 as Kylie Quinlan and did a one episode appearance as Susan Banks on DAYS in 2011 (it might of just been a voice over).

AW

Thomas Ian Griffith (Catlin)

Christopher Rich (Sandy)

 

GL

Kristi Ferrell (Roxie Shayne)

 

GH

Edie Lehman (Katherine)

 

 

 

 

[Franko]

It's a stretch, but Judith Light was on the Dallas revival.

[DramatistDreamer]

How could I forget the ageless Ming Na Wen??

 

Lea Salonga, who took up the role originated by Ming Na Wen, didn't do another daytime soap, I am pretty sure, at least not on American TV.

Kimberly simms GL.                                      Wendy Munoz GL.                                        Elaine princi OlTL.                                         Just to name a few who I'm surprised never had another role on daytime despite they're popularity
