Netflix

What's better than curling up with a bowl of popcorn and a blanket and spending a lost weekend binging on some of the TV's best streaming shows? It's even more fun when you spot soap stars. Here are top shows with daytime vets. On Netflix original series HOUSE OF CARDS, Robyn Wright plays Machiavellian first lady Claire Underwood. Before a fictional life in D.C., Wright played sweet SANTA BARBARA denizen Kelly Capwell from 1984-93. Wendy Moniz, who played Dinah on GUIDING LIGHT from 1995-99, appeared in some episodes last season as Laura Moretti, who got involved with amiable murderer and federal employee-of-the month Doug Stamper. Stamper’s been known to, uh, take out the women in his life but as far as we know, she’s still alive.
