For the sake of this thread lets just say that "rich" means upper class. On All My Children the only people who would not fall into that catagorey are Aidan, Taylor, Brot, and maybe Krystal when she is not married to someone. And on Y&R I can not think of one middle class person.

The "non-rich" or middle class people on "OLTL" are the Vegas, Talia, John, Marcie and Michael, Layla, Nigel, Roxy, Rex, Gigi, Shane, Stacy, Shaun, Charlie, Jared, Wes, Brody, and John. I think that's everyone.

Of course the rich are Todd, Blair, Dorian, David, Moe and Noelle (thanks to Dorian), the Cramers, and the Buchanan clan.

Yeah OLTL has a decent amount of middle-class people (But of course all of them have dated or are good friends with a rich character but that is to be accepted on a soap)

The only "regular" people I can think of on B&B are Marcus and Owen, but we don't know that much about their backgrounds.

I would say B&B has the highest percent of rich people...

B&B definitely has the highest percentage. There is only ever 1 non rich person.

Y&R has Murphy, Katherine for the forseeable future, Clint and Roger in the poor category. Daniel, Amber, Kevin and Jana in the middle class category. The rest are rolling in cash.

AMC seems like it does:

Zach/Kendall

Erica

Adam

Palmer

I think I might be missing some

Im not sure if Ryan is rich or not he seems to not need to work for some reason. Also Im not sure about Tad and Jake but with their father being the chief of staff at a hospital for like 30 years im sure the Martins have some money at least.

Yeah....or work/worked for them. Carlotta for Dorian, Rex for the Buchanans, Moe for Dorian, etc....

LOL Ryan doesn't work but seemingly has money to burn

Yeah I think the Martin's seem to be pretty well off, as do the Hubbards

Greenlee is also rich, her grandparents are old money if I remember right

Now hang on a second...

John now owns and operates Rodi's.

Michael is a doctor.

Nigel probably has more disposable income than MOST working characters on the show, I'm sure the Buchanans haven't been cheap with him.

Roxy owns and operates the Hair Haven AND The Angel Square Hotel, so I'm sure she's got more money than she NEEDS.

Rex runs a P.I. business and Ultraviolet seems to be turning a profit again.

Jared is back to being an executive at B.E., isn't he? So he probably makes a 5 or 6 figure salary now.

So I wouldn't exactly put them in middle class. Owning and running businesses where the ENTIRE TOWN goes for drinks, foods, and fights certainly must make them good disposable income.

Not long ago (before Valentini), I think the list of the rich would have read:

the Lords (Viki, Jessica, Natalie, Todd, Starr who owned La Buffet and rented it for $1/yr. until Malone or Tomlin suddenly gave it to Dorian)

the Buchanans (Asa, Renee, Clint, Bo)

the Cramers (Blair, Dorian, Adriana, Langston)

and any super villains who come to town or returned from the dead.

It seems strange not to see the foundational super-rich Lord family led by its matriarch in a list of the rich in Llanview.

I think we all know one thing for sure, US daytime soaps are focued on the rich...

Whoops....I did leave out someone--and Viki of all people.

Ryan needs to burn some of that money on a belt.
