Recommended Posts

  • Members

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

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?

Hmm....they're all guys. I can't think of a female I'd place ahead of them.

Umm....Drew Goddard is a writer. ;) LOL

    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.

    • Yes. We should absolutely move on from John/Drake's 40 year legacy on the show to see what Leo is going to do tomorrow.  Lol.  This can't be a serious post.
