Best currently 'unemployed' daytime actresses

[MoTheGreat]

Why you left off Victoria Rowell unles you know something.

[DeeeDee]

The OP mentioned Vicki in the first post & had asked what other actresses besides the ones they listed would it be nice to see return to Daytime.

[DavidEvanSmith]

No one has mentioned Olivia Birkelund, who turned in FABULOUSLY layered performances as the eternally-scorned alcoholic Arlene Vaughan, Hayley's mom on AMC? She tops my list. She needs a family built around her on a soap!

[detroitpiston]

I agreed with everyone but these two. There's a reason they haven't fond much work LOL. JMO.

Christie Clark...like you HAD to ask

[DavidEvanSmith]

Aw, I thought Sabine was talented, just shoe-horned into a cursed role. They never should have tried to recast Greenlee. One of the blogs cast her as Lucy Cooper Spaulding on GL, and I think that might be a good role for her...

Oh, that reminds me of another great actress out of work right now!

Sonia Satra!!!!

And I liked Workman, she's good as a funky rocker chick. Didn't see her on B&B, but didn't sound like I would have liked her character.

It was the roles that didn't work for them, but they have talent that could shine in the right role.

[detroitpiston]

IMO Sabine is only good at doing comedy and theater, she goes way too over the top at all times and I'm always painfully aware that shes trying to act.

Workmans tenure on B&B was lousy. She always seemed as if she didn't want to be there. IMO, she should stick to singing.

I kind of had to laugh, because a number of these actresses are employed, just not on daytime.

I guess if I would like a return it would be Meg Ryan to ATWT. JK.

[Southofnowhere]

I could see Eden Riegel fitting right in on any of the other 7 soaps. We know she can do drama and play the good girl and from her work on IB we know she can be funny as hell , would LOVE to see her play a bad girl.
