If you were talking to someone who either watches soaps or rarely watches soaps, which characters/stars of today's current soaps would be mentioned? Here are mine:

1.) Susan Lucci (Ericka Kane)- All My Children

2.) Eric Braden (Victor Newman)- The Young and The Restless

3.) Kim Zimmer (Reva Shayne)- Guiding Light

4.) Anthony Geary (Luke Spencer)- General Hospital

5.) Deidre Hall (Dr. Marlena Evans)- Days of Our Lives

I agree with your list, but would switch Geary/D-hall to the number 2&3 position and put eric/kim in the number 4 & 5 position.

Erica Kane/Susan Lucci is someone just about everyone knows.

Most people know Luke and Laura.

Most People know who Marlena and alot of ppl think of the possession story with her as well.

I agree that Deidre Hall and Anthony Geary should be moved up to 2nd and 3rd place, with Geary in number 2.

Sonny Corinthos is pretty well known too.

Erica Kane/Susan Lucci before anyone. Heck my brother who's never watched soaps a day in his life know who both are

The one and only Susan Lucci and Erica Kane in the number 1 spot, without a doubt. Daytime is Erica Kane!

Erica Kane definitely. As well as Luke & Laura. Even non-watchers know those names.

Bianca is also pretty recognized because of her coming out arc.

Okay I thought we were talking about soap stars most known to the avg soap fan/ those that watch on and off. Because thats why I agreed to that list. My list would be totally different if its about most famous known to non-soap watchers. Lucci and Geary would be the only ones from that list, because I don't think the people outside of soaps would know d-hall, braden and zimmer.

In no particular order...

Susan Lucci (Erica, AMC)

Kim Zimmer (Reva, GL)

Deidre Hall (Marlena, Days)

Alison Sweeney (Sami, Days)

Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH)

Tony Geary (Luke, GH)

I Thought you had to be a good actor to be famous, if it would be the point Susan and Deidre would be very unknown stars.

Ummm no, Susan must be doing something right, or Erica wouldn't be so well known

I Have seen Susan in a 95 movie called: SEDUCED AND BETRAYED, have anyone seen it?, i must say seeing her there really shows that she is an actress who is known cause she is beautiful, same thing with Deidre!

I'd say the top two are Susan Lucci and Eric Braedan. *Everybody* I know, whether they watch soaps or not, would be able to recognize the two of them. Braedan is almost as recognizable as Bob Barker in my neck of the woods, actually.

You're stirring that pot awfully hard, make sure you don't burn whatever it is you're cooking there...
