I would not hold my breath regarding Dorothy Lyman. She has moved into directing TV shows, having started directing while starring on
Mama's Family, then getting a regular directing job on
The Nanny, followed by other jobs. I'd love to see Kate Collins do...well, anything, but again, I would not hold my breath.
I'd like to see Robin Strasser do a quick guest starring gig on GH as Dorian Lord. She could be a guest at the MetroCourt who tosses her unique brand of shade on that annoying Carly Corinthos. Extra points if they can get her into a scene with Carolyn Hennesy's Diane Miller.
I always thought Anna Stuart could have joined B&B back in the early 2000s as Eric Forrester's younger sister. She shares the same 'look' of her niece Felicia, and it would have been
interesting to have her scrapping with both Brooke and Stephanie (when she was on the show). And lord knows Stuart could do the glammed-up look that B&B likes to do.
Mark Lawson made a big impression on OLTL as Brody Lovett. I'd love to see him return to soaps to play GH's Lucky Spencer.
Grant Aleksander would have made an intriguing Blake Carrington on CW
Dynasty. Joan Collins even played his Aunt Alex on GL!

It is a crime that Vincent Irizzary has not reprised his AMC role of Dr. David Hayward on GH, given the ties he has to Anna Devane, and his general tendency to stir the pot everywhere he goes. He would make a great "mystery father" for Nathan West, given how Dr. Obrecht and Dr. Hayward would have traveled in the same circles. The chance to re-activate the blood feud between Anna and Dr. O is just deeeelicious.
Also on the wish list:
David Forsyth as Victor Newman's rarely-mentioned brother, Matt Miller, on Y&R
Stephen Schnetzer and Alice Barrett-Mitchell as Dr. Jeff Webber and Liz's never-seen mother
