All Soaps: Acting soulmates


Recommended Posts

  • Members

There's a thread like this on another board, and I know how SON love their thread's like this, so I figured I'd bring it here.

Who do you think have been acting soulmates on your soaps? Doesn't have to be couples, lovers, or even friends. It's all about chemistry, how the actors sold the storyline despite or inspite of the writing. How the characters were their best because of their interactions with the other person. Who do you think did it best?

I'll give my list later. LOL I'm afraid if I give it now, I'm going to scare people off.

And please, can we not turn this into a thread about one show over another. That's all I ask. This is about acting soulmates on all sopas. :)

Quite frankly, no couple on GL has had SO much chemistry as Maureen Garrett and Michael Zaslow (Holly and Roger). Their entire tortured and complex relationship simply would not have rung true with anyone else in the role. A distant runner up would be Kim Zimmer and Robert Newman (Reva and Josh).

Definitely. They really do have great chemistry. They always made their relationship as sisters so believable.

Oh, absolutely. They were so wonderful together.

My list:

AMC:

Michael E. Knight and Cady McClain. (I'm not T&D fan, but these two had it in spades. They were unfrigging'belivable together)

Marcy Walker and David Canary (Adam and Liza brought it, no matter what they were doing)

Vincent Irizarry and Susan Lucci (ever seen the D&E basement scenes? If you have, you're lucky and I rest my case. If not, you must. They brought out something in each other and their characters that no one has since, and IMO no one will again.)

Rebecca Budig and Alicia Minshew. (Kenlee, nothing more needs to be said)

MEK and DC

JR and Jamie (as little boys and most recently with JY and JB playing them)

Alexa Havins and Jacob Young (Love them, hate them, they got it)

Cam Mathison and Esta T. (God, I miss them)

I'll do OLTL and GH later. :)

ATWT;

Michael Park & Maura West - I don't like CarJack but they seem so natural together.

GL:

Tom Pelphrey & Stephanie Gatschet - I think they're acting styles were so complimentary. Pelphrey does tend to overact and Gatschet's subtle style brought out the "heart" in Jonathan's character.

Justin Deas & Ron Raines - Buzz & Alan are easily the best enemies/friends pairing on this show.

    • Don't know if this has been posted; however, it appears the story bible, Shadows on the Wall, has been uploaded for anyone to snag here: https://archive.org/details/shadows-on-the-wall-1  
    • Major flaw! And that's why I said Dani would've been better off an screwed up kid (black sheep). Nicole got an award because she's doing important work. Depression is real, Mental illness is real. People are homeless and committing suicide in jails because they lack proper help. Yes, she modeled, but I mean, even Tyra pivoted into acting, talk shows, her own company, managing other models, etc.
    • I will admit to not liking John Bolger in the role of Phillip, but on rewatch, he has a really nice friend chemistry with Michael and Krista. And I think it's the only period of time where Phillip hasn't pulled Rick into some stupid scheme that ends up hurting the friendship.

      You're right about everything! The casino needs to go and it's ugly! The ugliest set on BTG.
    • Jayne Bentzen is the actress who played Nicole at that point. She joined Edge the year before, replacing Maeve McGuire.
    • Wait.....Anita is an EGOT, Vernon was an important Senator, and Dani was an international model (no matter how brief, although I thought she said she was on par with Tyra Banks(or someone)...meanwhile, Nicole's some nice psychologist/psychiatrist with an award on her wall...but Dani's hasn't added to the Dupree mystique?  I don't think the writers considered ever having any Dupree be less than utterly fabulously successful  and that's actually flaw in the structure of the show.  Oh, I forgot to say...Smitty acts like she stumbled into Vanessa's Only Fans account and paid for a picture of her dirty undies before realizing it was her.
    • I watched another batch of episodes and I have a sense of dread. I fear they are setting up a murder storyline with one of my favorite characters as the victim. I don't know if that would be considered a spoiler so won't reveal the character. If that's so, i will be extremely disappointed as this person has done Emmy caliber work and would create such a void on the show.  If I'm right, I think I know who the suspect will be and I would rather the suspect be murdered.  Joel Crothers's Miles has had more of a presence with his wife Nicole and I enjoy both actors. Crothers is just so yummy and charismatic. Don't know who plays Nicole but I like their relationship.  Ann Williams has been phenomenal as Margo. Margo is desperate to keep Eliot and make April happy. Williams had a nice scene with Kibbee's Geraldine about Logan and the baby. Eliot has been so slimy and menacing but he's so watchable. April and Draper are still fighting over the baby and something has happened to April to land her in the hospital. I just keep hoping she'll kick Draper out. The man is such a pain. Raven needs to come back and sleep with him. She can liven him up. Ann Flood and Frances Fisher had a wonderfully written scene where Deborah confesses her feelings for Owen. The writing and acting for this scene was first-rate. I want more of Flood. It's good to see Fisher getting more to do. Steve and his low cut shirts have been sidelined lately. The writers are setting up a Deborah/Nola confrontation.  Paige and Brian are still pretty much an afterthought. The movie plot is coming along nicely and there was a great episode where Margo had a party for the movie at her penthouse. Still enjoying the show. 
    • See, I imagine it as some kind of "private" room within a bigger casino.
