Port Charles Conquers the Galaxy!

Have you ever said to yourself, "I know I've seen that Star Trek Actor some place. Could it have been on my favorite soap?" or vice versa? Below are some appearances by General Hospital/Port Charles actors on the various Star Trek programs. It is by no means absolutely complete. We have purposely left out actors that had very minor roles on both programs and/or did not appear on GH in the last decade. For example Brooke Bundy, who played Diana Taylor on GH and had a minor role in Next Gen. On the other hand, Major Players from ST who had only minor appearances on GH are listed.

The source for most of the acting credits is that spectacular resource, The Internet Movie Database. Some of the actor names are linked to pictures of them appearing on the official Star Trek Web page, Continuum which is awfully paranoid about their stuff, so we didn't just lift it, we're actually linking you to the official page with the picture.

   Jennifer Sisko - Deep Space Nine: Recurring
   Simone Hardy - General Hospital: 1993 to 1997
   Jennifer, Benjamin Sisko's deceased wife, was seen only in flashbacks for the first couple of seasons, until the mirror universe coughed up her alternate self. She appeared in two mirror episodes, and was killed off in the second, The Shattered Mirror.
   Simone Hardy was Tom Hardy's wife and mother of his son Tommy Hardy Jr.. She dumped him because of his continued absence in Africa and his admitted affair with someone over there.

5. John Colicos
   Kor - Star Trek (Classic): Errand of Mercy
   Kor - Deep Space Nine: Sword of Kahless, Blood Oath
   Mikkos Cassadine/Petros - General Hospital: 1980s
   Kor was the first Klingon the viewing audience was privliged to see. In Errand of Mercy he took over and governed the planet of Organia, unaware that the natives were an advanced race of energy beings. The character returned, considerably older in two Deep Space Nine episodes.
   Mikkos Cassadine, head of the notorious Cassadine family, is best known for trying to freeze Port Charles with his Ice Princess powered machine. He was flash frozen by Luke Spencer. Petros returned to stir up a little trouble later. They were cousins, identical cousins, and you'll find...

6. Nikki Cox
   Sarjenka - The Next Generation: Pen Pals
   Regina Cates Williams - General Hospital: 1993
   Sarjenka was Data's pen pal. A child on a not quite advanced enough for the Federation planet, which was undergoing severe seismic fluctuations. The Enterprise helped the planet at her request.
   Regina, as she preferred to be called when portrayed by this actress, was Jagger and Stone's little sister. She was adopted by a well off family, and rejected Stone when she found out he had AIDs.

7. Robin Curtis
   Saavik - The Search for Spock, The Voyage Home
   Tallera - Next Generation: Gambit Part II
   Carol - General Hospital
   Saavik was Spock's half-Romulan, half-Vulan protege, orginally portrayed by Kirstie Alley. Robin Curtis the reappeared in a Next Gen episode as a naughty Vulan trying to use an artifact for evil purposes.
   We weren't actually privliged to see her portrayal of Carol on GH, but we understand she was a girlfriend of the notorious Bill Eckert.

8. Henry Darrow
   Kolopak - Voyager: Recurring
   Admiral Savar - The Next Generation: Conspiracy
   DVX Colonel - General Hospital: 1987
   Kolopak is Chakotay's deceased father, but Chakotay sees his father in memories and spirit conferences.
   Savar was one of the starfleet officers taken over by the invading Alien worm thingies in Conspiracy
   DVX Colonel. Never really saw him in this part. Have the vague idea he was supposed to help with something and then betrayed the good guys.

9. Patrick Fabian
   Taymon - Voyager: Favorite Son
   Ted Murty - General Hospital: 1997-1998
   The Voyager Episode, Favorite Son also featured Cari Shayne (ex-Karen Wexler).

10. Glenn Walker Harris Jr.
    Jeffrey - Voyager: Real Life
    Sly Eckert - General Hospital: 1990-1994
    He plays Jeffrey, the Doctor's holographic son, with a taste for Klingon music, in this episode.

11. Jennifer Hetrick
    Vash - The Next Generation: Captain's Holiday, Q-Pid
    Vash - Deep Space Nine: Q-Less
    Veronica Wilding Barrett - General Hospital: 1998
    Vash was a woman Picard met while vacation on the pleasure planet Risa. She's an archaeologist with a criminal streak. She was brought back to the show, by Q when he set her down in the Robin Hood fantasy as Maid Marian. Then she returned from a Q-powered trip to the Gamma Quadrant, through the wormhole and on to Deep Space Nine.
    Veronica is Brenda's long-lost-not-quite-dead-yet Mother. Aside from a knack for witty repartee, Veroncia's main talents seem to be seducing younger men, and annoying Jax.

12. Penny Johnson
    Kasidy Yates - Deep Space Nine: Recurring
    Debbie - General Hospital: 1986
    Kasidy is, of course, the lucky woman that Ben Sisko has chosen as his girlfriend. She was a freighter captain who was arrested for delivering medical supplies to the Maquis. She went to rehab for awhile but came back none the worse for wear.
    Debbie was... well, we have no idea. We weren't watching in 1986 and didn't spot her in that book. If anyone knows, drop us a line.

13. Charles Lucia
    Ramid Ves Alkar - The Next Generation: Man of the People
    Mabus - Voyager: Alliances
    Leopold Taub - General Hospital: 1991
    Ambassador Ramid was a really popular guy. But it turned out he liked to literally suck the life out of people to maintain his looks, youth and personality. He almost got Deanna Troi.
    Mabus, we're almost certain, was one of the Kazon that Janeway was reluctant to form an Alliance with.
    Leopold was Dominique's late and unlamented husband. He apparently had her father killed on the day they were married. He was one of the men behind BAFT, a bad guy organization.

14. Lisa Lord
    Nurse - Deep Space Nine: Nor The Battle to The Strong
    Grace Sullivan - Port Charles: 1997-1998
    She had a minor role in the DS9, as, (what else?) a nurse assisting casualties after a Klingon attack. Also in this episode as a cowardly Starfleet Officer, was Jeb Brown, formerly a bassist for The High Lonesome. (Jon Lindstrom's band. That is he's their former drummer.)
    Grace was a kind hearted pleasant nurse, who had a thing for sweater's just like Jessie. Her love interested, Matt was more interested in Ellen. Grace became the second victim of the General Homicide killer.

15. Chase Masterson
    Leeta - Deep Space Nine: Recurring
    Ivy Leif - General Hospital: 1994
    Leeta is a Dabo girl at Quark's bar, who dated Dr. Bashir and then married the Ferengi, Rom.
    Ivy, you may not remember. In order to demonstrate to Felicia that he was still a young virile man, Mac asked out the much younger Ivy on a date. He then flirted with her in front of Felicia. But he and Ivy actually had little in common, and there was no second date.

16. Leigh McCloskey
    Tieran - Voyager: Warlord
    Damian Smith - General Hospital: 1993 to 1996
    We really have fallen behind on our Voyager episodes. If you have loads of time do head over to the Continuum for more details.
    Damian Smith was a second class Villain, with an underdeveloped character and a yen for Lucy Coe. Justus Ward bashed his head in when Damian inexplicably set fire to Ward House.

17. Leonard Nimoy
    Spock - Star Trek (Classic), Movies, Next Generation: Unification
    Bernie - General Hospital: 1963
    Spock... well, what can you, say? He's a cultural ikon, that lovable half-human, logical Vulcan, with the pointy ears. He returned in a Next Gen episode, to try and bring Vulcan philosophy to the Romulans, and last we heard he was still doing that.
    Bernie... well, what can we say? This is way before our time, and if it wasn't this was a small role, that doesn't even appear to have a last name.

18. Mitchell Ryan
    Kyle Riker - Next Generation: The Icarus Factor
    Frank Smith - General Hospital: 1993
    Kyle was William T. Riker's father. They didn't get along very well and had a very competitive relationship. But they worked things out in this episode.
    Frank the mobster was Luke's nemesis, who kept the Spencer clan on the run for more than ten year. Luke helped him escape from prison and then later shot him in Puerto Rico. Damian's dad.

19. Judson Scott
    Joachim - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
    Rekar - Voyager: Message in a Bottle
    Sobi - Next Generation: Symbiosis
    Peter Harrell - General Hospital: Early 1980s
    Whoa, how'd this guy miss doing Deep Space Nine? Joachim was Khan's right hand man. But you won't find him in the credits, a snafu with his manager caused him to be dropped. Rekar... well... when we see that one we'll tell you. Sobi was one of the natives when the Enterprise encountered two worlds, one addicted to a drug that supposedly kept away the plague, and the other the world that supplied it.
    Peter was a nasty fellow who was allied with Sean during the Aztec Treasure storyline.

20. Cari Shayne
    Eliann - Voyager: Favorite Son
    Karen Wexler Cates - General Hospital: 1992-1995
    Eliann was one of the native women encountered by Voyager when Harry Kim was ridiculously summoned to repopulate a dying planet, or something like that. Patrick Fabian (Murty) was also in this episode.
    She was the first Karen, and was immensely popular as part of the Karen and Jagger teen supercouple. But Karen had her problems too. Turned out to be Scott Baldwin's illegitimate daughter.

21. George Takei
    Sulu - Star Trek (Classic), Movies, Voyager:: Flashback
    Diem - General Hospital: 1985
    Sulu was the helmsman for the original Enterprise Crew. During the course of the Movies he was promoted to Captain. His next appearance was in the Voyager episode Flashback. Tuvok takes a mind-meld trip down memory lane, to the time when he served under Captain Sulu.
    Diem was on back in the days where Port Charles still acknowledged having an Asian Quarter. He was a henchman of the evil Mr. Wu.

22. Constance Towers
    Ambassador Taxco - Deep Space Nine: The Forsaken
    Helena Cassadine - General Hospital: 1997-
    Taxco was one of the ambasssadors that Dr. Bashir was given the unpleasant duty of babysitting. She was dissatisfied with everything including her quarters, but did a 360 when Bashir saved all of their lives.
    She is the most recent Helena Cassadine, and has been up to all sorts of mischief she got to town. She's on the outs with the rest of the Cassadine clan, mostly because she tries to murder them now and then. She carries on a deadly flirtation with Luke Spencer.
