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)

Did Eric Braden act on any other soap?

No .Y&R was his first soap and he's stayed on for 40 years so hardly hard the chance to do another.

Same goes for most performers who played the same role for years eg Suzanne Rogers, Erika Slezak,Jeanne Cooper etc

He did appear as Victor on B&B in 1999.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think other than Adrienne Frantz, none of B&B's late 90s/early 2000s younger crowd appeared on another daytime soap.

 

This includes:

Justin Torkildsen (Rick)
Mick Cain (C.J.)

Ashley Lyn Cafagna (Kimberly)
Jennifer Finnigan (Bridget)

Marissa Tait (Becky)

 

I don't think Carrie Mitchum (Donna Logan #1) had another soap role, either.

I think you're right. Jacob Young did go on to GH and AMC before ending back up on B&B years later, but I don't think the others listed here ever did another soap.

Kathryn Harrold

 

Unless I'm mistaken, TD was also the only soap for her replacement - Kathleen Turner.

Some other Ryan's Hope actors who come to mind who spent significant time (2+ years) on that show:

• Malcolm Groome (Pat Ryan #1, 1975-78, 1983-88, 1989)
• Marg Helgenberger (Siobhan Ryan #3, 1982-86)
• Catherine Hicks (Faith Coleridge #3, 1976-78)
• Karen Morris-Gowdy (Faith Coleridge #4, 1978-83, 1989)
• Grant Show (Rick Hyde, 1984-87)
• David Sederholm (Bill Hyde, 1983-85)
• Jason Adams (John Reid Ryan #2, 1986-89)
• Gerit Quealy (Jacqueline Dubujak, 1983-85, 1987)
• Thomas McGreevy (Tom Desmond, 1977-79)
• Hannibal Penney, Jr. (Clem Moultrie, 1975-78)

I seem to recall that Grant Show appeared on Y&R before RH...but it was a very small dayplayer-type role.

I couldn't find any other soaps on the resumes of the first three Marys - Kate Mulgrew, Mary Carney and Kathleen Tolan. Nicolette Goulet aka Mary #4 went on to SFT and GL.

Of course, thanks for the reminder

Some others i thought of

Beth Maitland (Traci Y&R)

Lillibet Stern (Patty Y&R)

Michael O'Leary (Rick GL)

Amy Englund (Abigail GL)

Did anyone name Julianne Moore, Judson Mills (ATWT?)?  She went on to pretty much everything, and he has been in some things, one Walker Texas Ranger.  Laura Bell Bundy, GL, Tom Pelphry GL, Taye Diggs and Tammy Blanchard, GL.  

Julianne Moore had appeared on Edge of Night as Carmen Engler and Another World as a stewardess.

Tom Pelphrey was on both GL and ATWT as Mick Dante
