PICTORIAL: A History of Soap Stars on the Cover of Playgirl

Interestingly, a post we did back in 2008 about Playgirl magazine moving to the web is one of the most read articles we have ever written. At the time, we included a few covers with soap opera actors featured. Since this post continues to be read three years later week after week we thought it was time to update for those interested.
