There’s a long history of stars from daytime competing on DWTS. In the show’s first season, Kelly Monaco (Sam, General Hospital) won the coveted mirror ball trophy, returning again and going to the semi-finals in Season 15’s All-Stars. Other daytime contenders on DWTS include All My Children stars Cameron Mathison (ex-Ryan), Susan Lucci (ex-Erica), and Aiden Turner (ex-Aiden).

General Hospital hunks Ingo Rademacher (Jax) and Antonio Sabato Jr. (ex-Jagger) also wore sequins and learned how to ballroom dance. There were others, too. Lisa Rinna (ex-Billie, Days of Our Lives) competed on the show. And runner-up to Monaco in Season 1 was John O’Hurley. While many primetime TV fans know him from Seinfeld, soap fans know the actor from his many roles in daytime including Jim on The Young and the Restless, Jonathan/Keith on Loving, and Kit on AMC.

Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on NBC. Dancing With the Stars, which debuts tonight, airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
