For one that’s no longer on the air: One life To Live. Victoria Lord is one of the greatest lead characters in the genre. Also Michael Easton was in the show and he has sci-fi street cred with Total Recall 2070 and Mutant X.
As for currently airing soaps: General Hospital. Jason Morgan is my favorite soap character ever. His portrayer Steve Burton played Cloud in Final Fantasy for 17 years before they recast everyone for the remake.
