Plastic Surgery of the Soap Stars

[Soapsuds]

Anthony Geary always reminded me of the old man and Tim Conway.

[SFK]

I don't watch GH nearly enough to judge but in PurpleLime's 2nd to last pic he appears to have the characteristic look of a male facelift. Could just be the pic...

[Paul Raven]

In that shot in the black sweater,he looks like Dr Evil.

There are some seriously scary shots there. What actress would be allowed to be frontburner at that age with those looks?

[quartermainefan]

Well wait a moment. Jeanne Cooper isn't exactly Raquel Welch herself. And she looked worse when she was his age than he looks now.

[DaytimeFan]

However, Jeanna's haggard looks worked perfectly for Katherine's narrative.

I'm willing to bet Geary had his eyes done at some point, but that's all.

[SFK]

Off the top of my head, the only soap dudes I can think of who have had plastic surgery without a shadow of a doubt are Josh Taylor and RSW. And Marcus Patrick's nose is highly suspect.

Perhaps for the sake of record for this lengthy thread, we should compile a "definitive" list based on the factual (i.e., the soap star's own admission or on VERY good authority) and the patently obvious.

That's not the only thing about him that's highly suspect! ;-)

[Llantano Incorporated]

I remember RSW's brow lift in the late 90's and Slezak's facelift, also in the late 90's. They both occured during the JFP reign when both were paired with younger actors. Especially Woods, with that GODAWFUL Melanie McIver. Woods face was downright alarming. I have to find a episode on Youtube.

[PurpleLime]

Thanks for the responses. I was also wondering if there were any hair transplant experts, but it's true, we do see so much more women than men. I can't figure out Tony's hair transplant deal. Jackie Zeman I do believe had a couple of breast implants in the late 80's and then when she became pregnant her dresses spilleth over to where I'd thought she'd topple over. I think she also had her nose done a couple of times.

Aside from the eye job in the early 90's, these two made me think full on face lift. It's way more than forehead botox.

He came on screen one day and his eyes were small, smollen and very pink. My eyes popped out that he would do it when not on his soap holiday. There's a word for lower eyelid surgery and that's what it looked like.

I get nuts when they come on one day and look completely different and still swollen and I'm supposed to just fold my hands and stay quiet. I was told to watch B&B one day by friend who screamed and jumped up and down because of what Hunter Tylo did to herself.

[Khan]

Why bother ruminating on the extent of Jackie Zeman's plastic surgeries? She can't go out in sunny weather, or else she'll melt. What more do we need to know?

[DRW50]

When did Beverlee have a facelift?

[Money]

I'm always fascinated when stars drastically lose weight since they always claim they lost it naturally. When they were fat they sing the virtues of being thick and loving it and when they get skinny they always wear the tightest, most revealing clothes. Raven Symone is the latest star to lose around fifty pounds and looks great.

[Mr. Vixen]

Oh wow raven looks great!

[Bright Eyes]

Joan Collins was caught by TMZ on their show and was asked how she felt about the cancellations of AMC and OLTL. She said something along the lines of it being very, very sad news since the soaps were the last place for glamour on TV.

[Money]

I think she now bears a striking resemblance to Nicole Richie.
