I don't think RPG or BE are "hated", but they're nowhere near as popular at AMC as they were at GL.

There definately not as popular on AMC. But viewers have warmed up to them a lot more now that they are no longer forcing the Taylor/Jake pairing on us.

Tamara Braun. Popular on GH and somewhat popular on DAYS, loathed at AMC. The wretched writing doesn't help, but she's also exposed all her limitations as an actress.

I can't blame TB for Reese's unpopularity. Not only is the character terribly written and unsympathetic but the story she is in has angered some pretty large fanbases. I don't see how any actress could salvage that character.

James Scott - loved on AMC - hate on Days (only time I liked him was when he first came on)

Farah Fath - hated on Days - loved on OLTL

Jack Wagner - hated him as Frisco and not too fond of him on B&B but loved him as Warren on SB

For me, James Scott has really done an impressive job of getting such a large fanbase of DAYS fans considering he was a rapist of Sami, attempted killer of John, tortured Steve, and wasn't he the 'gloved hand' who did something wrong? Don't remember, but when he was revealed to be Stefano's and Susan Banks' son, he was MEAN, MEAN, MEAN! Bad writing on the writers' part to have him do such a quick 180 and be an upstanding 'good' DiMera.

Agree with Farah Fath; hated when they started giving Mimi storylines with Rex and Shawn. Much better on OLTL but I'm still turned off sometimes by her bloated pouty lips and pounds of make-up.

Jack Wagner, I'm surprised he's lasted this long as a non-Forrester and especially now that the Brooke/Nick pairing is over. He just seems pointless now and too weathered to be romancing girls in their late 20's. I loved him as Dr. Peter Burns on Melrose Place though.

I'm the total opposite of you when it comes to Amber! Seriously how could anyone stand her on B&B!?!? All I remember was that she lied constantly. Like there was no tomorrow.

And now that she's on Y&R it's like AF has both improved dramatically as an actress and the character is finally coming into her own.

I HEART AMBER! The girl is rocking it out in Genoa City and I hope she stays there forever. I never want Amber to go back to B&B.

Agreed. Amber/Adrienne Frantz has found a solid spot on Y&R. Whoever made the random decision to bring her over made a wise choice, IMO.

I can't think of anyone I actually loved in all caps that I then went on to hate. I liked Maurice Benard on AMC, and dislike him on GH. Does that count?

I think it's unfortunate that quite a few of the people mentioned I haven't liked in anything.

I loved Lisa Peluso on LOV, but I think I loved her even more of what I saw of her on AW. She was so funny. Her short stint on OLTL was disappointing, they should have "saved" her for something more special.

I tried to follow RS to Passions as Hecuba, but I couldn't really get into it. She looked like she was having fun, but it was a little too OTT for me, kinda like some of the stuff she's been playing on OLTL lately.

Our beloved Lynn Marie Lethal.

But ITA. Maria and the gang have totally developed Amber into this three dimensional character. I'd hate to see her regress into some shrieking, annoying mess like she was at B&B.

Hated Bobbie Eakes on B&B, loved her on AMC.

Loved Heather Tom on Y&R, hated her on OLTL & B&B.

  • Member

I know it's still VERY early, but I am liking Crystal Hunt on OLTL. I COULD.NOT.STAND. her shrewish self on GL, her voice has thankfully dropped an octave or so and she's gotten it out of her nose. The current Lizzie is much more likeable.

I am liking Tamera Braun on AMC but hated her on DAYS.

Loved Marcy Walker on AMC but hated her on SB

Loved Heather Tom on Y&R and OLTL but hate her on B&B

Liked Genie Francis on GH & AMC, but thought her character on DOOL (Diane?) was dull & boring (and from interviews I've read, she feels the same)

Liked Maurice Benard on AMC as Nico, but hate him on GH as Sonny

I hated Julie Pinson as Billie on DAYS, but love her as Janet on ATWT.

I LOVED Marie Wilson during the first half of her ATWT run as Meg. HATE her in the second half, as part of Peg.

LOVED Heather Tom on Y&R, and even OLTL, Katie is so boring on B&B
