Members DaytimeFan Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 The character type I like the best is simple: THE DIVA (aka THE BITCH) Katherine Chancellor, Jill Abbott, Erica Kane, Dorian Lord, Margo Lynley, Stephanie Forrester, Sally Spectra, Vivian Alamain, Alexandra Spaulding, Iris Cory, Rachel Cory (for a time), Lisa Hughes etc etc etc. All of 'em are soap opera gold.

Members soapluva Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 Guys : The strong silent type..............like myself A man who doesn't have to be arrogant show off what he's got he can be manly in subtle ways . Women: A strong confident woman who doesn't take any B.S but does it with class . Jill from y&r comes to mind immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 FWIW, my top five favorite characters from daytime: 1. Roger Thorpe (GL) 2. Dr. John Dixon (ATWT) 3. Rita Stapleton Bauer (GL) 4. Mason Capwell (SANTA BARBARA) 5. Erica Kane (AMC) Therefore, I think I am attracted to characters who aren't necessarily bad, in the sense that James Stenbeck (ATWT) and Stefano DiMera (DAYS) were bad, but who could be self-destructive or self-serving, yet still intelligent, still witty, and still "root-able".

Members y&r_fan Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 *Psychopaths - preferably ones with a sense of humor. Think B&B's Pamela and Y&R's Diane (#2). *Very complex characters where it's hard to draw the line between hero(ine) and villain. Think Y&R's Phyllis Newman, Michael Baldwin and Kevin Fisher. *Bright, perky, breath-of-fresh air characters. Think the current Colleen Carlton, the last Mackenzie Browning, and Victoria Hellstrom when she's not in a mood. *Insanely hot. Think Nicholas Newman, Daniel Romalotti and Thorne Forrester.

Members nicknack Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 I tend to go for a lot of underdogs. Particularly characters who are bashed by the viewers and on the boards like Courtney on GH or Amber on B&B. I always have the desire to play devil's advocate for them and grow fond of them in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 Male villains. Many others want all the villains to be these complex misunderstood type of characters, I don't. Sure some villains can be like that but I don't want all of them to be, what's the fun in that? I like all kinds of male villains. Larger than life like Stefano DiMera. Business Tycoons like Victor Kiriakis. Mafia Dons like the old Victor Kiriakis. Lowlife scumbags like Paul Mendez, Curtis Reed. Scheming conmans like Franco Kelly, Colin Murphy.

Members rhinohide Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 Me too DP! The bad girls. Not the tall blonde thing. I preferred Blair to Marty and Blair to Kelly. Dorian to Viki Lindsay to Nora Natalie to Jessica or Evangeline or Marty (or anybody). I preferred Reva to Vanessa (although Vanessa had a bit of bad girl in her) Dinah to Cassie Dinah to Tammy Blake Harley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
