Featured Replies

  • Member

I know this may be a hard one for many of you longtime daytime viewers. My top 5 is strictly selected from shows that I've watched and the actors who left that lasting impressions on me, in no specific order MY PICKS ARE

Jeanie Cooper (she's a master)

Tony Geary (he's impressed me for years but haven't watched his show recently)

Victoria Rowell (yes I went there)

Michelle Stafford (I always say about her when she's on she's on)

Stephen Nichols (the man has been excellent in his respective roles)

Too many to choose from!

Lane Davies (Mason, Santa Barbara)

Susan Flannery (Stephanie, B&B)

Jess Walton (Kelly, Capitol and Jill, Y&R)

Crystal Chappell (Carly, Days)

Stephen Nichols (Steve, Days and Stefan, GH)

based on my mood, this list could look completely different in an hour. Marcy Walker (Eden Santa Barbara), Ian Buchanan (Dke, GH) and Jaclyn Zeman (Bobbie, GH), Tony Geary? The Top 5 could have any number of combinations.

MY personal top 5?

Crystal Chappell

Tamara Braun

Rebecca Herbst

Alison Sweeney

Tracey E Bregman

Those five women have been fantastic all around. all also have been given many many awful stories and characters have been almost ruined. I am not saying they are anywhere among the top 5 soap actres ever, but from my viewing? Those are my top 5. I would love to mention Judi Evans as well.

The top 5 of all time? Suzanne Rogers, Bev McKinsey, J. Cooper, Susan Flannery, Susan Seaforth Hayes

I know what you mean I only watched 3 daytime shows faithfully enough to decide but even I was like damn how can I not put Jane Elliot, Nancy Lee Grahn, Peter Bergman or Jess walton, Thaoo Peng, Step Mosc in this list? But I was curious who people would select

OK, here they are in order!!

A #1) Chrystal Hunt! Dynamite!

A #2) Christel Khalil Totally Tubular!!

A #3) Tammin Sursok Dy-no-MITE

A #4) Farrah Fath Dynamo!!

A #5) ETA: Daniel Goddard Dynamic!!

Why are they my favorites, you ask in bewilderment? Every soap needs comic relief. Or at least catalysts for me to bash my head against the wall and scream bloody murder! I like bashing my head against wall at least once a week.

I mean, would it really be a modern-day soap without these fantastic actors?
