Erin Torpey (ex-Jessica, 1990-2003)
Torpey, who took over as Jessica when she was 9, literally grew up on the soap, and won the Soap Opera Digest Award for Outstanding Teen Performer in 1997 and another as Favorite Teen Star in 2000. Since leaving OLTL at the beginning of 2003, she has moved to California, where she is pursuing acting and singing. "I say, this is just a job, and do it as long as you love it," she revealed in the 8/27/02 Digest. "And when you start not to love it anymore, you have to do something different."
