Members Michael Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 She isn't usually BAD, but when Susan Seaforth-Hayes was getting a lot of screentime on Days in 2004-05, she was out of control. It was like there was a director standing behind her with a cattle prod whispering, "Louder! Bug your eyes more!" It looked like she thought she was acting on a stage in front of 20,000 people and had to emote for the people in the very back. Except it was TV.

Members marceline Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 Me too! My curiosity is seriously piqued. Those screencaps look like he's doing a dance scene from Billy Elliot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 Good point. I think it's possible to be a "ham" and still be good at what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members You're Soaking in it Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 That's not overacting. Jesse just unfortunately caught whatever rare, neurological disease that's afflicted Ryan Lavery for YEARS. He also exhibits the same unusual arm flailing and torso contorting. And this hasn't happened yet, but you'll know it's terminal once we see his thong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LoyaltoAMC Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 Soap opera acting is ABOUT overacting. Having said that, I think there are a lot of sincerely talented, well-trained actors doing some gloriously bad overacting. Those who come to mind are people like David Canary, Liz Hubbard, Kim Zimmer, Tony Geary, Sue Flannery, Christian LeBlanc, Peter Bergman, Jeanne Cooper, Darnell Williams, Erika Slezak, Robin Strasser, and Robin Mattson...the list goes on and on. Take it down a notch, people! For me, truly good acting in daytime has always come from people who have been more subtle and who fly under the radar. For example, Kathleen Widdoes, Robert Newman, Doug Watson, Kathy Hays, Mary Fickett, Ellen Parker, Maeve Kinkead, and Maureen Garrett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 Haley Erin would have to act first in order to "over-act." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 Ew, Jennifer Gareis. Kim Zimmer, as much as I sometimes love her, has to be on here too. Her work after Jeffrey's "death" was embarrassing. FL does that wide-eyed, open mouth stuff every time her character goes through yet another OTT "moment". She's a parody of soap acting. Her horrible acting when Tea was shot was one of the more memorable moments of the KAD fiasco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
