Where you can still see stars from As the World Turns as the axed CBS soap celebrates its 70th birthday

As the World Turns was in its 54th year when the world stopped turning back in 2010, and the CBS soap went off the air. The Hugheses, Stewarts, Snyders, and Lisa Grimaldi are all gone from the airwaves, but they will never, ever be forgotten. Not only that, but some of the show's actors can be seen on today's soaps, including General Hospital, Days of our Lives, Beyond the Gates, and The Young and the Restless!

Beyond the Gates of Oakdale

Tamara Tunie played attorney Jessica Griffin on ATWT, and now, she's Anita on BTG | JPI, CBS

Two actors from BTG -- Tamara Tunie and Jon Lindstrom -- are remembered fondly by fans of ATWT. On BTG, Tunie is Anita Dupree, the family matriarch of the Dupree clan, who is currently battling breast cancer. On ATWT, she was savvy attorney Jessica Griffin.

Lindstrom, whose Craig Montgomery often grappled with morality, plays Joey Armstrong, who could probably give Craig lessons in how to cut corners and go for what he wants in life.

Additionally, Daytime Emmy-winner Cady McClain (ex-Rosanna, ATWT) plays Pamela on BTG.

As the World Turns: from Montega to Salem

Mary Beth Evans took over the role of Sierra Esteban Montgomery, Craig's wife, from Finn Carter in 2000 and played the part on and off until the last year of the show in 2010.

While Craig and Sierra didn't go the distance, Evans' DAYS character, Dr. Kayla Brady, is half of one of Salem's most legendary couples, as the good doctor's true love is Steve "Patch" Johnson, played by Stephen Nichols.

They didn't share a ton of screen time on ATWT as Carly Snyder and Luke Snyder, but their respective portrayers, Maura West and Van Hansis, are aunt and nephew, Ava Jerome and Dr. Lucas Jones, on General Hospital.

Ava has shown her late brother Julian's (William deVry) biological son a great deal of support in light of his boyfriend Marco's (Adrian Anchondo) brutal murder and untimely death.

Simply the best

Christian LeBlanc, who plays Michael Baldwin on Y&R, has a unique history with ATWT. He appeared on the New York-based soap opera from 1983-85 as Kirk McColl, one of the show's younger leading men, who had conflicts with his family and a gambling problem.

A little over 20 years ago, LeBlanc went back to ATWT, but not as Kirk. He played Michael Baldwin on the show to help out with a legal matter involving Jack Snyder (Michael Park).

Back on Y&R, LeBlanc was reunited with his former ATWT co-star, Colleen Zenk (ex-Barbara), when she took on the role of Aunt Jordan, sister of the late Eve Howard (Margaret Mason), and terrorized the Newman clan in her sister's memory.

Other former ATWT stars on Y&R include Sharon Case (Sharon; ex-Debbie, ATWT) and Roger Howarth (Matt Clark; ex-Paul, ATWT).
