[Soapsuds]

Great list! I would also add Bob and Kim Hughes.

[DeeeDee]

Thanks! I wanted to add them too (kiddo!) but 50 woulda been overkill. lol

[StephanieLover17]

where's Jason Morgan and EJ Wells.

[winterguy125]

I agree, and add Luke Snyder.

[Ryan]

Don't make a thread asking people to list their Top greatest soap characters, and then ask why Jason & EJ aren't on their list. Not everyone has worship for those characters. In the great scale of things, reaching completely back into soap history to now, those two couldn't even type the list.

[Soapsuds]

Hahaha...love your kiddo reference!

Can you give it a rest already!???

Well I love Luke but he is fairly newbie. He hasnt been on the show that long. When I think of greatest it's the vets of the show.

[JackPeyton]

1) Samantha Brady (Alison Sweeney, Days)

2) Amanda Corey (Sandra Ferguson, AW)

3) Maggie Horton (Suzanne Rogers, Days)

4) Jason Morgan (Steve Burton, GH)

5) Lauren Fenmore (Tracy Bregman, YR/BB)

6) Marlena Evans (Dee Hall, Days)

7) Reva Shayne (Kim Zimmer, GL)

8) Katherne C (Jenie Cooper, YR)

9) Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil, GH)

10) Victoria Newman (Heather Tom, YR)

11) Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery, BB)

12) Luke Spencer (Tony Geary, GH)

13) Adam Chandler (David Canary, AMC)

14) Elizabeth Webber (Becky Herbst, GH)

15) Josh Lewis (Robert Newman, GL)

[DeeeDee]

Loves me some Bob & Kim. Don Hastings & Kat Hayes are marvelous together.

LOL

ITA. Give Luke another 15 years or so & he'd be on there.
