Members titan1978 Posted October 1, 2015 Members Share Posted October 1, 2015 While thinking about the best that have fallen far for the other thread, I started thinking about those that always bring it. Jane Eliott- even when Tracy could go way OTT, she manages to walk the line and bring good work no matter her scene partner. Sarah Brown- She's had some terrible characters but I think she always does good work within them. Maureen Garrett- did she ever do anything but subtle, strong work? Michael Zaslow- Again, I can't think of a bad scene. Laura Wright- She is a total soap actress, but I think she always tries, and commits to her characters. Even if I don't always like her character she plays it well. Peter Reckell- I think he has been one of the most consistent and strong actors on Days. Susan Seaforth Hayes- again, always solid even if Julie can drive me crazy. Beverly McKinsey- simply the best Vincent Irizary- from young to leading man he's played more than one strong character and is always compelling. Finola Hughes- Even when the show is stupid, she is always grounded and compelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted October 1, 2015 Members Share Posted October 1, 2015 Sarah Brown did come straight to mind. She always pushes through and nails it in the acting dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 1, 2015 Members Share Posted October 1, 2015 I agree with the ones mentioned. I would add Katherine Kelly Lang. Much like Laura Wright, I've never seen her check out. I've always felt the women off B&B were good sports who weren't afraid to get down and dirty in the mud, sometimes literally. Maura West is also someone who always tries. Eileen Davidson too.

Members carolineg Posted October 1, 2015 Members Share Posted October 1, 2015 Laura Wright really seems to enjoy her job and I appreciate that about her. Not a Carly fan, but she gives her all. Maura West......meh.......never a fan. Eileen Davidson always 100%. I feel like she even gives 100% on the Real Housewives even if it's just reality. I think she is just great all around.

Members Y&R21395 Posted October 1, 2015 Members Share Posted October 1, 2015 Sharon Case. Despite the character going completely off the rails over the years, to me she's always made Sharon believable and invested herself in every storyline she's been given. Even the pairing with Victor which I'm still trying to make sense of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted October 1, 2015 Members Share Posted October 1, 2015 Kassie DePaiva and Laura Wright immediately come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 1, 2015 Members Share Posted October 1, 2015 To add to Soapsuds' list (which I totally agree with), I'd add Tamara Tunie. Understated but good performances even with inconsistent and sometimes silly storylines. Colleen Zenk was never boring onscreen either and she was pretty versatile, could make you laugh, angry and sad at her character all in the same episode. Also Finn Carter Scott Bryce Leslie Kay Melanie Smith Larry Bryggman Jennifer Ashe Kathryn Widdoes Lisa Brown Helen Wagner Don Hastings Tricia Cast, can't remember a bad scene from her on Y&R. Beth Maitland was also understated and generous in her work, she made others even those who weren't the best actors (ahem actress who plays Abby)-- she made them look great. Some others like Eileen Davidson, Camryn Grimes and Sharon Case were mentioned so I won't go into that. Also, Tonya Lee Williams Nathan Purdee Victoria Rowell Barbara Crampton (*on Y&R) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted October 2, 2015 Members Share Posted October 2, 2015 How can I forget Tricia Cast?! the woman who made the most sense out of the horrible "I'm back from the dead and I'm gay" crap.... though others may disagree, I think Jeanne Cooper always gave 100% even when she might have (or we didn't) not like the story....she sold the mother/daughter thing with Jill for almost 7 years IMO....
