Shemar Moore, Y&R...Kevin Bacon, Y&R...Tom Selleck, Y&R. Before Y&R, Jeanne Cooper was on many weekly westerns like Gunsmoke etc. she looks exactly the same, just younger.

Eva Longoria Parker of Desperate Housewives was also on Y&R. Seems a lot of stars got their start on that one soap.. Many more on other soaps but cannot think of them right now..

Wasn't thinking. Of course Kevin Bacon was on Guiding Light, when I first started watching, not knowing Kevin Bacon had really been on there, I thought Kevin B. must have been on there at one time, cuz to me Phillip looks like Kevin, but I was surprised to learn Kevin use to be on but not as Phillip, wierd huh.

Speaking of GL, it's so sad that it's gone. I'll miss it even though I didn't watch it all of the time. Guess it gave me comfort knowing it was always on. I used to watch it when I was a small child at a few of my aunts' houses. I wish everyone associated with GL all the best!

A few other stars who were on soaps are:

Lori Loughlin - The Edge of Night
Holland Taylor (Two & Half Men) - The Edge of Night
Dixie Carter - The Edge of Night
Hal Holbrook - The Brighter Day
Ricky Martin - General Hospital
Kathleen Turner - The Doctors
Teri Hatcher - Capitol
Christopher Reeve - Love of Life
Ray Liotta - Another World
Kelsey Grammer - Another World
Tommy Lee Jones - One Life to Live
James Earl Jones - As The World Turns
Rick Springfield - General Hospital
Cicely Tyson - The Guiding Light
Larry Hagman - Search for Tomorrow
Susan Sarandon - A World Apart

Oh I forgot about Ricky Martin.
