Ironically, that echoes Douglas Marland's comments about GH's cast after he had left to work on GL. Initially, he said, when he joined GH after working at TD, he wasn't too sure about whether the actors at GH were up to the challenges that he and Gloria Monty presented. (I suspect that's because 1) they were "Hollywood actors" and 2) they were stuck playing some of the dreariest storylines in daytime). By the end of his time there, however, he grew to love that cast and thought they were some of the best actors in the business.
I guess that's always been a problem not just for GH actors but for actors on most other West Coast-based soaps as well. They're West Coast-based actors, working on shows that don't have the same, theatrical vibe that the East Coast-based soaps had, so people assume they're lightweight; when, in reality, they almost have to work harder than their NYC counterparts to convince everyone else that they aren't just pretty hair models surrounded with more lavish-looking sets.
