My opinion: GL has the best cast by far.

Out of all the soaps, I think GL has the best cast. The show would be on fire right now if the writing was better because the actors there can turn [!@#$%^&*] into gold.

Female - Y&R

Male - Y&R

Younger Set - ATWT

Overall - ATWT and Y&R have really solid casts. GH and OLTL would be others, but i don't think they utilize many of their talented actors and have cast a lot of awful newbies.

I'm only familar w/ CBS.

Best Teen Cast: ATWT

Best Female Cast: B&B

Best Male Cast: GL

Best Veteran Cast: Y&R. ATWT has the best vet cast, but the show never uses them, so I refuse to give the show credit.

Best cast overall: 1. GL, 2. Y&R, 3. ATWT, 4. B&B

GL has an awesome cast. There's no denying that. They have some of my all-time favorite actors and actresses on the show. Also, they make the horrible writing seem decent most of the time. Off-hand, I can think of only 2 or 3 actors and actresses that I don't like, but all 3 are younger and not as experienced.

Y&R's cast is really good too, and I think they have the best ensemble of the CBS soaps. They find ways to get almost everyone involved in storylines and have active parts in them.

ATWT has a good cast, but unfortunately, the airtime is too unbalanced, so too much talent goes to waste.

B&B has a lot of good actresses, but they lack BIG TIME with male actors. The only actors that they use are JW, RM, and ASJr., and they aren't that great IMO, especially the latter two.

I've not exposed myself to enough of the CBS soaps to make any legitimate comparisons.

AMC used to have the best ensemble (talent and beauty) in Daytime but has been bleeding talent for a long time and is no longer the tops.

Passions actors are consistently underrated due to the campiness of the show. But I think it takes talent to play Passions material appropriately and that's where I think they unfairly lose credit for their abilities.

DOOL's cast....meh. Some really good, others not so much. A mixed bag.

GH has some really really fine emerging and new generation (20s and 30s) talent. And a handful that need to move on desprately.

Every single show, imo has a few major talents, some decent, consistent if not WOW-inducing actors and too many talking models.
