Who Plays Janice Anderson On Chicago Med?

While Jessica Tuck certainly got people's attention in her "Chicago Med" entry, she has been entertaining soap opera audiences with plenty of drama for decades, lending her superior skill set in this department to a number of some of the genre's heavy hitters. Tuck's work in this field includes 25 episodes of "Days of Our Lives" as Madeline Peterson Woods and 36 episodes of "General Hospital" as Cassandra Pierce. But her most notorious soap opera endeavor has to be her time on "One Life to Live." Tuck played Megan Gordon in 134 episodes of the series, where she was nominated for a Soap Opera Digest award for Outstanding Female Newcomer — Daytime in 1990 and a Daytime Emmy Award for Lead Actress in 1992.

While she had several worthwhile experiences playing the character, the most influential endeavor she arguably pulled off as Megan was her character's death due to complications surrounding several medical issues, including lupus. Despite being a sensitive subject matter for some, Tuck had a good reason for showing the untimely demise onscreen instead of the usual off-camera death. "I knew that I was going to leave the show, and I was not afraid of dying on camera," the actress said in an interview with Soaps in Depth. "I felt like they could use it as an opportunity to inform people about an autoimmune disease that wasn't necessarily understood."

The soap opera star is no stranger to pulling off emotionally driven scenes in medical drama situations, and it seems safe to point out that Tuck rarely disappoints playing a believable patient, whether it be doing so in a long-running soap opera or a popular NBC series like "Chicago Med."
