6 degrees of Days

[gramcracker]

Tom Hanks was in Sleepless in Seattle with Meg Ryan. Meg Ryan was on Guiding Light and Crystal Chappell (Carly on Days) was also on Guiding Light.

Or, we could also use Judi Evans (Adirenne/Bonnie) as she was also on Guiding Light.

Judi Evans (Bonnie) was on Another World.

 

[Just Samantha]

She was on Guiding Light before Another World.

 

[Poirot]

Yep, she played Beth Raines on Guiding Light.........

I really miss that soap..........

 

[brisbydog]

Beth Raines was my first soap heroine. And I will be meeting Judi Evans (Adrienne/Bonnie) in April!

 

[brisbydog]

Nice!

Here's one that's probably pretty easy. Jane Wyman.

Jane Wyman was on Falcon Crest. So was Shannon Tweed, who was Savannah Wilder on Days.

How about Tom Hiddleston? Love me some Loki.

 

[Just Samantha]

I thought someone would go with Kristian Alfonso (Hope) being on Falcon Crest.

 

[DrBakerFan]

So Bonnie was on Another World. She must have avoided the diabolical butler, Sven Petersen, because he targeted only Mac Cory and Rachel, but did she interact with Rachel or Mac’s protective daughter, Iris? I also recall watching Falcon Crest. I remember calling the product of the vineyard “dirty bird wine.”

 

[Just Samantha]

Oh, this is going to blow your mind, but she was Mac's illegitimate daughter, Paulina.

 

[brisbydog]

I thought someone would go with Kristian Alfonso (Hope) being on Falcon Crest.

Too obvious. I do remember her on there though. And so was Jonathan Frakes who is married to Genie Francis (Diana Colville)

 

[Just Samantha]

How about Tom Hiddleston? Love me some Loki.

OK, this is a bit clunky, but here goes

Tom Hiddleston was in Kong: Skull Island with John Goodman
John Goodman was in Raising Arizona with Sam McMurray
Sam McMurray was on Y&R with Tracey E. Bregman
Tracey E. Bregman was Donna Craig on Days
An added link is that Tracey E. Bregman's brother-in-law on Y&R is played by Greg Rikaart, who is Leo on Days

Let's try Michael Keaton

 

[Wilde Woman]

This is even clunkier, and while drawing outside the lines, is fun:

Michael Keaton was in Mr. Mom with Teri Garr.

Teri Garr played Lisa Kudrow's mother on Friends.

Matt LeBlanc, who played Joey Tribbiani whose occupation on Friends was an actor, played Dr. Drake Ramoray on Days of our Lives within the Friends show, not actually on the real show.

Doesn't count, right?

 

[Just Samantha]

The judges conferred and it counts!

 

[DrBakerFan]

Oh, this is going to blow your mind, but she was Mac's illegitimate daughter, Paulina.

It does blow my mind. I had thought that the refined Mac Cory was too upright to be straying from the marital bed. An illegitimate daughter must have blown the mind of his daughter, Iris, whose mission in life seemed to center on being the only heir to the family fortune.

 

[Just Samantha]

It's been so long, but I think she was conceived long before he met Rachel. Her unwed mother died young, so Paulina ended up in an orphanage. But yes, I do believe Iris' head exploded when the truth came out. She eventually came to accept Paulina as her sister, but not happily.

Mac had a son, too, Alexander "Sandy" Cory. He was played by Christopher Rich, who is probably most remembered lately as being Reba Hart's ex-husband Brock on the TV show Reba. Sandy was also illegitimate from Mac's younger days.

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

Doesn't count, right?

But he appeared with actors from the show, but also the show itself is what we were connecting it to, so double counts! LOL

And Jennifer Aniston who worked on Friends is John Aniston's daughter. He played Victor on Days.
