Members soapfan770 Posted October 2, 2015 Members Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'd also mention Kim Zimmer and Crystal Chappell who consistently gave good performances even in the most dire final days of GL. Others I'd include who made the best of horrific storylines: Sharon Case Maura West Camryn Grimes Tracey Bregman Bryton James Jess Walton Melody Thomas Scott Tristan Rogers Justin Hartley Gina Tognoni Tricia Cast Darlene Conley Lindsay Hartley(yes she has somehow sold a LOT OF CRAP but she has done it well!) Adrienne Zucker Lauren Koslow Alison Sweeney Josepeh Mascolo Anthony Herrera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevieM Posted October 2, 2015 Members Share Posted October 2, 2015 Matthew Ashford. No matter how much crap DAYS gave him to work with, he always gave it 100 percent effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P.J. Posted October 10, 2015 Members Share Posted October 10, 2015 Michael Park (who of course, is always linked in my mind to Maura West) along with ATWT's vets, (Hastings, Hays, Fulton) I'd add Colleen Zenk, Ben Hendrickson, Marie Masters, Liz Hubbard, and Kathleen Widdoes. For GL, Maeve Kincaid, Jordan Clarke, Robert Newman (which must have been a monumental task at times), Grant Aleksander and Michael O'Leary.

Members Mathewson Posted October 13, 2015 Members Share Posted October 13, 2015 Jane Elliott - she even makes GEARY onscreen human! Vincent Irizarry Eileen Davidson Lauren Koslow Jerry ver Dorn Kim Johnston Ulrich Andrea Evans Maura West was just heinous as "Denise". And Lindsay Hartley played Theresa as a complete bitch on Passions. The writing certainly didn't help but she was so smug (even when her character was "crying") that it made her enemy Gwen come across as the heroine to me. Lindsay improved a lot though in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Members Share Posted October 13, 2015 Oh Michael Park for sure! He could easily have been upstaged by Maura and Carly but he was always just as compelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 15, 2015 Members Share Posted October 15, 2015 Gotta add David Canary to that list. No matter what BS they had Adam do Canary went all in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted October 16, 2015 Members Share Posted October 16, 2015 Yes, Robert Newman sold Josh deciding to clone his wife. And then followed through with the task of raising the clone and later taking her to bed. No easy feat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted October 16, 2015 Members Share Posted October 16, 2015 Without a doubt. Jeanne Cooper in the late-90s or early 00s was asked who were the best actors on Y&R and I think she named three - I do know the first two were obvious and I've forgotten, but I remember she mentioned SC as the consumate actor and it really surprised me because - especially during the 90s - there wasn't really much to the Sharon character. However, after all these years, I totally get what JC saw. I almost wonder like KKL and MW if the writers/producers throw the worst or most out there stuff, only because they can somehow make it not laughable. So many of the actors mentioned obviously have had long careers, but also had many, many terrible storylines, but they sold it. Someone I haven't seen on the list (or maybe I missed it) would be Lauralee Bell. I say this because for years certain actors and some fans resented her being 'forced' on the audience, but she really worked hard to become a better actor. I never got the sense that she took her opportunity for granted. And, again, she had some awful storylines and was also trapped by "St. Christine" not fun for an actor.

Members BetterForgotten Posted October 16, 2015 Members Share Posted October 16, 2015 Whether the people at Y&R want to admit it or not, Sharon Case is their lead actress and has been the ONLY actress that's been consistently frontburner on the show for the past 20 years. The material they give her may suck, but they know she's always going to commit to it and try to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted October 16, 2015 Members Share Posted October 16, 2015 Whaaaaat? Other than the fact she was the quintessential flawed heroine that was the only reason NICK NEWMAN ever worked, carried a 10 year arc while having other stories, and never bored the audience or phoned it in while making everything work?

Members edgeofnik Posted October 16, 2015 Members Share Posted October 16, 2015 Sharon was more there supporting Nick, being Nikki's punching bag, etc. during most of the 90s. She was more the 'good' girl and closer to the moral compass of the insanity that is Newman. That wasn't a bad thing, but her character was certainly not what she became particularly after her brief exit during contract negotiations during 2003. Her return triggered the whole Cameron thing, being suicidal, etc. and it's been a crazy ride ever since - though the Matt Carter rape and the Diego fall-out after losing that baby in 2001 were early seeds. The most memorable stuff in 1990s - obviously Cassie's return and Grace/Nick. There were so many other 'lead' actresses getting time during that period, but Case outlasted and, frankly, outworked them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
