I didn't know that James Storm had a recurring role on a soap in recent years. I remember seeing him in a couple of scenes in in a soap about eight years ago, I'd guess. He was a business executive at a desk. I thought that was just a guest role. I would have watched for him in recent years had I known. I've just finished watching the 1840 storyline for the third (fourth?) time, and his acting stands up as well as ever. A much stronger performer, in my opinion, than his co-star Kate Jackson was at that time. But Storm may have already been more experienced on TV, so that may not be a fair comparison.
