Who are the most unused Characters this year?:-

[Andrew]

Who do you think are the most underderused Actors and Characters this entire year?

My Choice:

1. Julie Pinson (Billie Reed), She has been very absent this year, hardly on at all.

2. Coleen Zenk Pinter (Barbara Ryan), She needs to be on a lot moore, but she has had cancer, maybe that is why she has been on so very little in this year.

3. Elizabeth Hubbard (Lucinda Walsh), Very underrated, never on much.

4. Frances Reid (Alice Horton), she is in her 90S, but if she is up to it, they should give her moore screentime.

5. Kristian Alfonso (Hope Brady), Has ever been on so little.

6. Drake Hogestyn (John Black), has been on very little.

7. Jill Larson (Opal Cortlandt), never on much.

8. Elizabeth Dawn (Vera Duckworth), also because of her being sick, but has been on little.

9. Beth Chamberlain (Beth Raines), where on a lot last year, but has been on little.

10. Constance Towers (Helena Cassadine), five eps, this entire year, little.

without a doubt Jackie Z (Bobbie) & Leslie C (Monica) on GH.

Julie Pinson has been pretty underused on Days, but she has also been on a decent amount of time. She deserves a good storyline.

Suzanne Rogers - hello. where oh where has Maggie been? come on days just do it already - kill Mickey in his sleep, have a greeving Maggie start to drink again... and get Suzanne another damn Emmy!!

Minus the week of October 15, Deidre Hall, Drake Hogestyn - and Kristian Alfonso too from time to time.

Luke Snyder-Van Hansis

Noah Mayer- Jake Silbermann

CZP- Barbara Ryan

what?!

as much as i love Nuke, they have been used a lot this year = perhaps more than they should have been.

[c0rinne]

Lord knows we haven't seen near enough Greenlee, Ryan, Kendall, and Zach this year.

I think, though, that I will go with Jackie Z (Bobbie) & Leslie C (Monica) on GH, (thanks JackPeyton).

As little as they were used, at least they came off as supporting characters who got the privilege of propping other people. The actors of the Hughes clan might as well have been given up for adoption. Only Ellen Dolan gets uneventful airtime.

[CassieFan]

Opal on AMC.

[winterguy125]

Sorry, but Van(Luke) has only the 19th most airdates this year on the cast that is bad for a contract role he has only been on like 60 something shows all year. Parker and JJ have more airtime than they do. Compare that to last year where Luke had 128 airdates for the year, we will be lucky to get up to 80 this year.

From my counting Luke and Noah have been on 3 times this month, which is sweeps that is not good.

[Faulkner]

ITA...and sadly, these names include some of the most talented actors daytime's ever had. It's like having Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Karl Malone, and Tim Duncan on your team and benching them all. It makes no sense. In any other medium, these actors would be aired because THEY. BRING. IT.

[Josh]

I agree! The thing with Nuke is that when they are on they don't waste them, it benefits the story and moves it along. Nuke is usually on once a week for about six minutes. UNDERUSED!!!

[stenbeck212]

I'm sure Scott Holmes feels terrible for Hansis and Silbermann.

[DaytimeFan]

Without a doubt Jackie Zeman, Leslie Charleson and Suzanne Rogers are the most egregious wastes of talent. And the really offensive part is that these women ARE talents, not just vets who have been backburned, they have a lot of story left in them. I mean off the top of my head...

Bobbie could fall in love with a patient who dies, sending her into depression, she alienates her family, her role at the hospital and her emotional reality from the depressed fantasy she lives in.

Monica finds love again, making Tracey furious at her 'disrespectful' attitude towards Alan. Monica undergoes an emotional transformation in defining herself outside the confines of being a Q.

Maggie...well this one is obvious. Kill off Mickey, have Maggie fall off the wagon clutching a bottle of vodka and let the effervescent Ms Rogers pick up another Emmy.

[DeeeDee]

And Eileen Fulton feels worse for Scott Holmes.
