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

I don't consider him emmy worthy, but I do find him to be a great actor :)

Christel Khalil (Lily Winters, The Young and the Restless)

-Like, whatever. Like, totally, I'm sooo not going to, like, talk about this girl. Like, fer shurrrre! Her mega unprofessionalism during, like, that whole MySpace thing where she, like, put out rumors and details of Davetta's firing when she, like, wasn't even around, was like, totally lame. Ya'know? I mean, like, seriously! And the way she, like, thought she was too big for the show and, like, left the first time, only to like, come back with some, like, bullshit excuse of, like, being so young and working, like long hours was like hard on her... like, whatever!

Do she still talk like that on the show? I don't see how a grown ass man like Cane is intetrest in the Valley High teeny bopper. Thier storyline is so unbelievable

Christel Khalil Y&R- she needs to stick with cartoons voice overs

David Fumero (Cristian, OLTL)OLTL- He's terrible.

BRANDON BUDDY OLTL- They got rid of the Henry guy for what.

Christina Chambers OLTL- All she do is look sad all the time.

I agree with (a.k.a. have witnessed these people in action)

1. MELISSA ARCHER (NATALIE BUCHANAN, ONE LIFE TO LIVE)

-The scene where she was told Cristian had died and she wails soooo over the top with her tongue all awkwardly wagging about was probably one of the absolute WORST portrayls of that moment I've ever seen in my history of watching people find out other people have died on soaps (AMC's Eva La Rue's weird moment where she dry heaves after Maria realizes Edmund was pronounced dead and everybody just stands there looking at her is a terribly close second). In that scene, I'll never forget Slezak looking at her like :rolleyes:

Michael Easton (John, OLTL) -- what purpose does he serve? Really?

It may be harsh to put her as the worst soap actress, but OLTL did nothing to hide any of the actresses' inadequacies. Even from before the show paired her with Easton, the character was pushed into far too heavy storyline and airtime for the actress or character to handle. It only got worse as OLTL tried to shove McBain (and hence Natalie) into every storyline. Higley's terrible writing for the character didn't help either. The entire cast (with the exception of REG/Evangeline) had to work to find anything likeable about their characters most days. (and some gave up any effort).

She's doing a bit better now that her airtime is no longer linked to that of McBain, and she has a light, spirited romantic comedy storyline. I don't expect her name on an Emmy nom list in the near future, but the situation is more tolerable.

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.

I. AM. SHOCKED. I felt like the only person not bowing down to The God That Is Van Hansis. Viva la revolution! :D

She sho do. :lol:

Don't get me started on the very special member of YouTube I like to call The Wack Job, who retorted my reasonable dissent against the Nuke plot and its actors with personal attacks.

LOL I sure don't ;) I think he's okay, but he's not all that and a bag of chips to me ;)

Van is about as average as you can get. Not terrible, but sure not great.

David Fumero (Cristian, OLTL)OLTL- He's terrible.

Where is Michael Easton on your list? :rolleyes: I know people loathe Fumero & De Los Reyes but...

I don't know about Canada, but in the United States there are laws here against this kind of writing--it's called LIBEL. Professionally, all journalists should have the grace and class to avoiding writing this kind of smear material. There's a big difference between giving an opinion someone can't act and saying "My dead grandmother could act better than "X" Publishing is a privledge, not a license to be an ax murderer.

a.k.a. Marlena De Lacroix

I don't know about libel in either country, but I'm glad you said this. I have been quite uncomfortable with Nelson Blanco's growing negative editorialism. His candor is appreciated in a soap press that is often too pandering...but he is going too far.

I was shocked to see an interview with Deidre Hall this week...his slash-and-burn style is such that I have a hard time seeing him get publicist cooperation.

AMC is the only show I watch regulary, but I have caught most of these actors on Canada's list. I have always thought Archer was totally unappealing; glad I'm not alone. As for AMC, I wouldn't put Sabine Singh on a worst list---she's not all that bad. I would however love for Cameron Mathison and Jeff Branson to be brought down a peg or two. They have made the Lavery brothers the most annoying characters on AMC. Just this past week when CM's Ryan was confronting Kendall and Zach about what they've done to Greenlee--it was laughable. Thorsten and Alicia mop the floor with him. I'm sure we'll never have a Lavery free AMC, but it sure would be nice.
