I thought it was either Meet The Press or Guiding Light. I think ATWT is third on the list.

According the imdb.com:

Meet the Press (1947)
Guiding Light (1952)
As the World Turns (1956)

Helen Wagner, the actress playing Nancy Hughes McCloskey on As the World Turns, has the distinction of being the longest-running character played by one actor, on television, ever. That's according to the Guiness Book of Records.

It was neat seeing 50 years worth of Nancy on a special tribute episode they had a few months ago.

Thank you..you are right re: The Guiding Light.
I knew that it was soap opera, but I couldn't remember the name.
