For Father's Day, I thought we could do a list.

Best

Mac Cory (AW)

Bo Buchanan (OLTL)

Clint Buchanan (speaking mainly of CR's long tenure on the show) (OLTL)

Worst

Asa Buchanan (Loved him but he was an s.o.b., especially when he "disowned" Bo so he could steal Delila) (OLTL)

Edward Quartermaine (GH)

Johnny Ryan (too sanctimonious) (RH)

Palmer Cortlandt (AMC)

Best...

Bob Hughes

Worst...

Eric Forrester

I don't think we can have this topic without one names: Papa Bauer.

DAYTIME'S BEST FATHERS

DAYS

Tom Horton

Grandpa Shawn Brady

ATWT

Bob Hughes

AW

Mac Cory

AMC

Joe Martin

OLTL

Clint Buchanan (Clint Richie's portrayal)

GL

Roger Thorpe (even though he did horrible things, he loved Chrissy (a.k.a Blake)

Alan Spaulding (first actor, he loved himself some Philip)

I know I am missing some characters. I am drawing a blank right now!

the best soap dad ever.... Mac Scorpio.

For raising three daughters who were not hid; two of whom he wasnt even blood realted too. He was a better father - a betetr parent than thier mothers too - to these girls. Robin, Maxie, and Georgie were all abdoned by their parents for selfish reasons. Mac stepped up.

Todd Manning is the best father on daytime.

BEST

Michael Baldwin (Y&R)

J.T. Hellstrom (Y&R)

Eric Forrester (B&

Thorne Forrester (B&

WORST

Victor Newman (Y&R)

Neil Winters (Y&R)

Ridge Forrester (B&

That's true. I forgot about Mac. I didn't leave a list because I could come up with very few best, but I'm glad you did. Mac's a great choice.

There's also Chris Hughes on ATWT.

Worst...so many, but I've consistently appalled at how horrible the Ron Raines Alan Spaulding has been as a father.

Bo Brady is another really good father. He loves his kids, he forgives themw hen they screw up, but he doesnt let them off the hook and get away with anything. He does his best, and soemtimes his temper gets the better of him, but at the end of the day he loves them and makes sure they know it.

Id argue he is the most realistic soap dad.

Yes, Bo's very good. How do you cope with a child you thought had been miscarried in a Louisiana bayou?

ITA. He was automatically my first choice

Todd Manning is the best father on daytime.

You are joking right? He's definetly one of the worst. Id also mention Luke Spencer

Worst Father EVER!

AMC- Ray Gardner (Tad's father)
