LOL I remember Justine/Rachel so much from my AW viewing as a child. Justine dressed up as a nun scared the heck out of me! Didn't she brick Vicky behind the wall or something? How the fact that Justine looked like Rachel explained? They weren't sisters were they? She was Grant's mother right?

A few really old ones:

Awesome:

Jonah Lockwood/Keith Whitney on EON - can't remember the actor's name and I wasn't even in school when I saw this but it was amazing

Good:

Larkin Malloy as Sky Whitney/Jefferson Brown on EON

Pointless:

Joanna Johnson as Carolyn/Karen on B&B - when Karen fell in love with Ridge BEFORE SHE EVEN MET HIM, I gave up B&B for good

Truly Wretched:

Jacquie Courtney as Pat Ashley/Maggie Ashley on OLTL - another one I was pretty young when I watched but I knew enough to hate this. The woman couldn't even summon up a consistent English accent.

It appears that David Canary's Adam/Stuart and his 6 Emmy's is clearly the standard to beat. I am shocked that no one has mentioned the best dual( with a twist) there is. Another 6 time emmy winner Erika Slezak's Vicky/Nicky (Tory, Jean, Tommy, Princess, Victor). That is as good as it gets. But in fairness I have to give credit to Eileen Davidson and her outstanding emmy robbed performances of soaps first Quinteplets.

OLTL seems to prefer the DID route rather than dual roles...and most of the time it worked better for them. The writing for the more recent twin roles has been wretched.

BW did do a quite remarkable turn as Tess in the early stages, but as time grew on, the writing and acting failed to distinguish the two personalities. ES does a good job with Niki, but the other alters seem more interesting, less cartoonish.

TSJ was hilarious as the cartoonish Flynn, but that seemed barely a role. Troy/Colin was only barely dual.

    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
