All: TV Guide Canada's List of Soaps' WORST Actors

[R Sinclair]

Any AMC fans in here remember Raquel Dion #1? Carolyn Neff? Ugh! She was absolutely one of the worst actresses EVER, and serves as exhibit A as to why Judy Blye "It's All About the Look" Wilson is NOT this fabulous casting director the industry thinks her to be.

Neff was gorgeous -- but she could not ACT! She would stumble on almost all of her lines, and literally backtrack and start lines over again to say them correctly. Like, "Mateo and I belong to-- I mean, I love Mateo. Mateo and I belong together. We were married when we were kids -- um, teenagers. Married when we were teenagers, and we loved each other so much."

I dont remember her acting ability but I liked her. I thought she was good as a bitch. I hated her recast as they neutered the character. The recast had no spark, no fire and not much of a purpose. She was just bland

Dunno if anyone mentioned this, but Charity Rahmer should be on the list.

Need proof?

Behold, bad acting in motion:

While I completely understand your point, I think Mathison is less green than committed to what's perceived as soap acting, and TPTB don't seem to call actors out for it on any show.

[P.J.]

Add me to the list of ATWT fans who are amazed Peck isn't the worst actor we've hired in years. For what Brad is, Peck is a good fit. I think this Canadian TVGuide doofus once claimed he was stealing scenes from Maura, and that thought is laughable. I think it's taken way too long to "flesh" Brad out, I'm a little miffed that Brad's history was rewritten, and that Jack is being trashed to play up Brad's better qualities, but none of that is Peck's doing.

I think labeling Agim as the worst actor isn't fair, he's barely even been on since he returned. And I'll agree with someone else's pick, it's Howarth as Paul Ryan. He's just never jelled in the role. Whether it's the writing, trying not to be seen as "Todd II", or just not connecting with the material, for me, there's just no depth to the character of Paul anymore. Paul is one seething mass of anger, who is continually paralyzed by his supposed demons. There's no struggle when he does these horrible things, and it makes him more of a cartoonish figure for me.

As for Silberman...I hate to suggest it, but I don't think he's comfortable acting opposite Van in romantic scenes at all. He seemed a lot more at ease with Alex Chando. But of all the green actors I've had to watch on the show, (Agim, Peyton List, AJ Lamas, many Chris recasts, Zach Roerig) he's not the worst by any stretch of the imagination.

[Vanguardian]

P.J., you're probably the only one (well, maybe not the ONLY one) who thinks that Silbermann is not comfortable in scenes with Van. Most people who've posted all over the internet about "Nuke" are astounded by their connection and can't get enough of them.

[P.J.]

Yeah, I know. I'm also about the only one who doesn't consider Van Hansis as emmy worthy. But I'm willing to paddle my canoe alone.

[Shawn]

Got room for one more in that canoe? Cuz I feel the same way.

[Sylph]

This canoe is officially sinking, 'cause there's too many people on board... We should replace it with a yacht.

[TC]

I can sink that yacht with an expertly-flung scone - LML

[stenbeck212]

Count me in too. Mustering the cojones to do a gay love story doesn't mean the execution is working. An Emmy is starting to become the prize for anybody who went to work knowing their lines.

[DeeeDee]

LMAO.

[Shawn]

They might as well call them the Daytime Natalia Awards.

[Shawn]

All aboard the S.S. Not Gay Enough.

[Sylph]

Are you coming onboard?
