Julie Marie Berman - the most overrated actress EVER!

The MOST overrated actress ever? I don't know... she has fierce competition from Adrianne Leon.

Winsor Harmon(although he's hot)

This list just proves that Passions fans have VERY questionable tastes. Oh - and Natalia IS unemployed as an actress. Did you put her on the list cause you think she deserves to be fired from Starbucks or wherever she's working at?

Just to let you know I"M not a Passions fan at all and had Detriot Piston pointed out this is my OPINION

It seems there is agreement that Ronn Moss, Drake Hogestyn and Brian Gaskill are among the worst. Please let me add Adrienne Frantz and Roger Howarth.

What's wrong with Brian Gaskill? He was great as Oscar on B&B.

Austin Peck seems to be an interesting case. Many considered him to be inept on Days, compared to the actor he had replaced, but others point to the quality of writing and storytelling on the show as not helping anyone's development in terms of acting skills. My view is that he wasn't very good on Days, yet he isn't near the Moss or Hogestyn levels of ineptitude.

i think every actor on daytime has been mentioned in this thread.

IMO, daytime wouldn't be fun without those camp over the top storylines. And as for Taylor, IMO something big was needed to reboot her character. Back when they killed her she had just become so boring and set in her ways. I much prefer the current Taylor to the Taylor of the TB storyline or the Morgan storyline. At least she is vibrant and active now.

I think it's all good and fine if some soaps strife for higher realism, but to me there also has to be a place for those campy soaps and B&B with all its serial family screwing has been campy for a long time if not always.

Errr, back on topic:

Gotta go with Steve Burton.

Good person to go with. He has been lousy for years now.

Thaao Penghlis.

I have never understood the devotion to him.The annoying accent and weird line readings have bugged me for years.

Jerry Douglas.

In later years he became one note and made John so boring and bland.

I love Thaao. Sometimes you want a little ham and over the topness. He has had a fairly decent career compared to most soap actors. I am happy he is niceguy Tony, but I miss evil Tony too. When you have a scene where a guy is on his horse in the living room, who are you going to call, Peter Bergman or Maurice Benard? No, you want Thaao! No one else will pull it off with such flair.

Someone upthread said Brandon Beemer. I can't understand this. When you hire BB you aren't hiring him for his acting. Go to this week's B&B thread and you will see photos of what his main contribution to soaps is and should always be. He can't be Tony Geary, but by the same token Tony Geary can't be him.

All actors have a niche and they all bring different things to screen. Some offer nothing I do admit. Steve Burton, you got me what he brings to the table.

Deidre Hall is the most overrated actress I've ever seen. She SUCKS! SUCKS! SUCKS! And the sad thing is, I've seen clips of her first ten or so years on the show, and she was very good, but for the five or six years, I can hardly stand to watch her. She showed more emotion when she was playing Electra Woman!

I don't know if it's necessarily that she's a bad actress or if she's just bored or whatever. I'll never, ever be able to erase from my mind the visual of Marlena arriving on Melaswen, seeing Roman, and chanting his name like a bubblehead cheerleader. "Ro-MAN! RO-MAN! RO-MAN! YER HERRRE!"

Bite your tongue!!! Deidre is a goddess! I think she is an phenomenal actress!

In the Mission: Impossible remake/continuation, Thaao's character Nicholas was a master of disguise, able to assume an array of different identities or use a latex mask.

I'm sure some will be aware of it, but the 1988-90 Mission: Impossible series was actually born out of the writers' strike of 1988 when they needed something on the air to keep the viewers entertained. The show was also produced (initially) in Australia due to lower costs there at the time. The writers' strike was soon resolved and only the first few episodes were remakes and the rest were all new.

It was, in fact, not a remake but an actual continuation of the original classic. Whilst remakes never satisfy everyone, I honestly believe this was one of the better and maybe one of the best remakes of any classic TV series simply because it stayed true to the original concept of Mission: Impossible, most of the actors were competent in their roles. I make an exception for Terry Markwell (Casey) who was very poor, her character Casey was the only character in either M:I TV series to be caught/disavowed/killed, and that was not mourned by the fans. Some of the technology they used was very advanced, in that they were almost in the realms of science fiction at the time.

Most fans will view the 80s series positively, especially in light of the Tom Cruise movies. The character assassination of Jim Phelps was simply unforgivable. I watched the first movie and was truly revolted at how much of a betrayal of the concept it truly was.

What's wrong with Brian Gaskill? He was great as Oscar on B&B.

I just fell into coma after reading this comment.

Gaskill and that dude playing Roman on DAYS are the worst "actors" on daytime not to mention TV in general. They can't even enunciate properly, not withstanding that their "acting" totally sucks.

Tammin Suresucks! She is just dreadful!

Ronn Moss. He's probably already been mentioned, but...yeah not into this one
