One of my favorite Daytime Actresses is Jane Elliot, most famous for her portrayal of Tracy Quartermaine on General Hospital. I know she was on Days of our Lives for awhile in the mid-late 80's and I think a CBS soap also.

Good news for GH, Jane will be reprising her role of Tracy this Thursday, Nov 13. She has had a few brief appearances this year, but now has signed on for a long term deal.

Jane Elliot is a fantastic actress and was brilliant on General Hospital, Days of Our Lives and Knots Landing. Wasn't she on All My Children for a little while as well?

PS I just remembered that J Eddie Peck was on both Dynasty and Dallas, I think. I'm sure he played a young Roger Grimes in Dynasty's final season?

[Jamie Barnes]

Yes, J. Eddie Peck played Roger Grimes in Dynasty.

Leigh McCloskey appeared on Santa Barbara (1988-1989) and Dallas.

Wasn`t Santa Barbara a prime time soap???

Dallas vs. Denver - Möge der Bessere gewinnen.

The most successful serie of the world. Giants, speculators, intriguers, Whiskey aunts...

It's the less obvious actors that I like to pick out:

Bert Remsen played Lilimae's conman suitor in Season 3 of KNOTS LANDING, Peter de Vilbis's horse trainer in Season 4 of DYNASTY, Cliff's father substitute "Dandy" Dandridge in Season 10 of DALLAS, and Donna Mills' former agent in an episode of MELROSE PLACE!

James Hong played the gardener who fingers Julia so dramatically in the Season 2 finale of FALCON CREST, the Asian ambassador who testfies on JR's behalf in the Season 3 finale of DALLAS, and the doctor who performs Steven's plastic surgery in Season 3 of DYNASTY.

Wendy Fulton (Bare Essence, Knots Landing)

Jonathan Frakes (Bare Essence, Paper Dolls, Falcon Crest)

Edward Albert (The Yellow Rose, Falcon Crest)

Deborah Shelton (The Yellow Rose, Dallas)

Mark Lindsay Chapman (Dallas, Falcon Crest)

[ChrisSumnerMatheson]

Donna Mills was on Knots Landing AND Melrose Place. I don't count Bare Essence, because that was a mini-series, not a pilot for the TV series.

Linda Gray was on Melrose Place and Dallas.

Also if you want to include daytime soaps then Donna Mills was an original cast member of Love IS A Many Splendored THing and also was on Secret Storm for a year.

Linda Gray also shows up on B&B every now and then.

Joan Van Ark has been on Knots, Days of Our Lives, Peyton Place AND The Young and the Restless.

[JT]

Alice Hirson was on both "Dallas" and "Flamingo Road."

[Toby]

James Hong played the gardener who fingers Julia so dramatically in the Season 2 finale of FALCON CREST, the Asian ambassador who testfies on JR's behalf in the Season 3 finale of DALLAS, and the doctor who performs Steven's plastic surgery in Season 3 of DYNASTY.


James Hong also appears in two of my favourite 80's films - Blade Runner and Big Trouble In Little China.

Heather Locklear - Dynasty and Melrose Place

Jamie Barnes...To answer your question....Santa Barbara was actually a daytime soap.

[willie oleson]

If memory serves me well I think Linden Ashby portrayed 2 characters in Melrose Place and there was no connection between them...weird.

[ChrisSumnerMatheson]

Willie - Linden's first role was just guest starring. It was for one week. Rob Estes also had a one off before becoming Kyle McBride.

[willie oleson]

Ha, I never knew about Rob Estes!

Wendy Phillips: Falcon Crest/Savannah :hello:
