The title says it all.

Can we list actors who have been part of the cast of different soaps at he same time. They may or may not have shared scenes.

First ones that come to mind are

Heather Tom/Don Diamont - Victoria/Brad Y&R Katie/Bill B&B

Jane Eliot/Wally Kurth - Tracy/Ned GH Anjelica/Justin DOOL

Looking forward to your contributions...

Rosemary Prinz/Ruth Warrick -  Penny/Edith ATWT Amy/Pheobe AMC

in the mid-late '90s a significant part of the cast of GH was made up of actors who had been on DAYS during the same time in the '80s.

For example in 1996 you had:

• Genie Francis (Laura GH/Diana DAYS)
• Wally Kurth (Ned GH/Justin DAYS)
• Mary-Beth Evans (Katherine GH/Kayla DAYS)
• Stephen Nichols (Stefan GH/Steve Days)
• Matthew Ashford (Tom GH/Jack Days)

They were even joined by Jane Eliot (Tracy GH/Anjelica DAYS) for a brief period when she came back for a guest stint prior to her crossover to The City.

And shortly after Matthew Ashford left GH in 1997, Billy Warlock (AJ GH/Frankie DAYS) was cast as the recast AJ.

One of the more old school examples-

David Lewis/Ann Jeffries/Tony Geary/Susan Brown, all were on Bright Promise before General Hospital.

The Y&R to GH exodus was strong in 2013–2014:

• Billy Miller (Billy, Y&R; Jason/Drew, GH)
• Emme Rylan (Abby, Y&R; Lulu, GH)
• Michelle Stafford (Phyllis, Y&R; Nina, GH)
• Maura West (Diane, Y&R; Ava, GH)

SuBe->B&B

Sarah Buxton (Annie/Morgan) / Sean Kanan (Jude/Deacon) / 2000-2001
Tracy Lindsey Melchior (Tess/Kristen) / Sean Kanan (Jude/Deacon) / 2001-2003
Lesley-Anne Down (Olivia/Jackie) / Sean Kanan (Jude/Deacon) / 2003-2005

Y&R->B&B

In addition to Heather Tom and Don Diamont, Ashley Jones (Nina/Bridget) and Jennifer Gareis (Grace/Donna). All four appeared simultaneously on Y&R in the late 90s and were part of the contract cast on B&B between 2009 and 2010.

Also, Barbara Crampton (Leanna/Maggie) was on B&B at the same time (1995-1998) as Kimberlin Brown (Sheila) and Tracy E. Bregman (Lauren).

One minor note- Ashley Jones portrayed Megan Dennison, not Nina.

Armand Assante/Lauren White - Johnny/Martha How To Survive A Marriage, Mike/MJ The Doctors

Peter Bergman/Debbie Morgan/Darnell Williams - Cliff/Angie/Jesse AMC Jack/Harmony/Sarge Y&R

Peter Brown/Suzanne Zenor/Mark Tapscott/Patty Weaver Greg/Margo/Bob/Trish DOOL Robert/Claire/Earl/Gina Y&R

Ricky Paul Goldin and Beth Ehlers: Gus/Harley GL, Jake/Taylor AMC

Eric Martsolf and Lindsay Hartley: Ethan/Theresa Passions, Brady/Arianna Days

How soon we forget ...

Harley Jane Kozak, James Rebhorn, Beverlee McKinsey, Mary Pat Gleason, Lisby Larson and eventually Jerry Lanning (plus, if ex-actors count, Pamela Long Hammer and Gail Kobe) all went from Texas to Guiding Light.

We can also add Amelia Heinle (Victoria, Y&R; Steffi, Loving/The City), who acted with Debbi and Darnell on both soaps.

Billy Miller/Jeff Branson/Elizabeth Hendrickson/Eden Riegel (Richie/Jonathan/Maggie/Bianca, AMC; Billy/Ronan/Chloe/Heather, Y&R)

You can swap out Eden for Melissa Claire Egan (Annie, AMC; Chelsea, Y&R). They almost overlapped as well.

I suppose Debbi and Darnell overlapped with most of them on both shows.
