… “patching” in a 1992 stopover in Santa Barbara between stints as Steve Johnson on Days of Our Lives. Great photo, but despite appearances, it was not a purple reign.

Jacklyn Zeman…
Image Credit: ABC/Courtesy of the Everett Collection … serving more cloak than dagger — as far as we could see, anyway! — as Bobbie Spencer on General Hospital. Apparently, there was a time when nurses’ uniforms were super chic.
-
Sharon Case…
Image Credit: Monty Brinton/CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection … holding up a wall in most elegant fashion early in her legendary run as Young & Restless’ Sharon Newman. Or was she lying down, and we’re looking at this picture all wrong?
-
Lawrence Saint-Victor…
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI … in the Guiding Light days that preceded his gig as Carter Walton on The Bold and the Beautiful. Or, as we think of him, the world’s hottest wedding officiant.

Christel Khalil…
Image Credit: Ray Christian/JPI … changing her stripes as Lily Winters on The Young and the Restless in 2009. Of note: This was not the character’s outfit during her unfortunate stay in prison.
-
Sean Kanan…
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI … as Bold & Beautiful ne’er-do-well Deacon Sharpe. That is, he’s a ne’er-do-well at everything but taking stunning pictures; he kinda nails that.

Victoria Wyndham…
Image Credit: NBC/Courtesy of the Everett Collection … reminding us that after Robin Strasser left the role of Rachel on Another World, she kinda became the soap’s heroine — butter-wouldn’t-melt-in-her-mouth smile and all.
-
Susan Lucci…
Image Credit: Robert Verdi/Courtesy of the Everett Collection … going turtlenecking in the early days of Erica Kane on All My Children. As if we didn’t all know that the vixen’s favorite kind of necking didn’t involve turtles at all.

Christian Jules LeBlanc…

-
The Cast of Guiding Light…
Image Credit: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection … in 1994, the year that yeah, pretty much everybody on the show was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award. It was and they were that good.

-
Lamon Archey…
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI … practicing the arched-eyebrow seduction technique at The Young and the Restless that he’d later perfect as Days of Our Lives’ Eli Grant. Ya know, on second thought, he appeared to have had it down pat at Young & Restless, too.
-
Tamara Tunie…
Image Credit: Craig Blankenship/CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection … proving that as far back as her early-1990s days as Jessica Griffin on As the World Turns that there wasn’t a dazzling pair of earrings or complicated dress that could distract from her stunningness.

Tracey E. Bregman…
Image Credit: John Paschal/JPI … putting the “red” in “red-hot” as Young & Restless’ Lauren Fenmore in 2012. Technically, she’s also putting the “hot” in it, too, but that goes without saying.
