Members DRW50 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Esta Terblanche!! Amy Van Horne!!! SFK, I do wonder though because I don't believe Beverlee or Vicky ever won. They were both such powerhouses. I just imagine someone in charge of the awards having some raging hatred for them. The real explanation is probably more mundane.

Members SFK Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 I loved Esta Terblanche, and yes, Amy Van Horne! There is room for her somewhere on GH. She was to The City what Carla Borelli was to Texas. And wow, Charissa Cree Chamorro, Dorian's little protege. She just up and disappeared, like Skye kinda inched her out. It makes no sense to me why Beverlee McKinsey never won an Emmy, and judging from what I've seen, she deserved it even more for Iris than Alex. VW too, those two together or either of them with Douglass Watson was just dynamite. Not so sure about VW, but I've never read anything about BM packing 'tude, maybe people were jealous of the show's success? Hmph, if so they only had to wait around a little while.

Members DRW50 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Then JFP redid (for the third time!) the story where a woman becomes a cop and falls for her demanding boss. Didn't Antonio cheat on her? She had a good short run at GL but the story fell apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 I loved Ion Overman. PC really wasted her. Vampire Gabriella was hot hot hot hot, too dirty for daytime. I know she wasn't good on Y&R but I really enjoyed Sarah Aldrich on PC. I know Anne Heche is not exactly unsung, but I think her later career, and her relationship with Ellen, and her craziness all overshadow just how damn good she was on AW, especially as Vicky. I have so many of her Vicky scenes burned in my brain. I especially loved when Vicky would storm out of a room, or that classic freeze frame where her long hair was flying around.

Members SFK Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Elaine Princi. I like her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Elaine was great, yes, her work holds up well on Youtube, she makes Dorian her own while still reminding us of who Dorian is. I also have to mention Richard Backus, who, along with Randall Edwards, broke my Delia-loving heart in that story where she fell for him and he cheated on her over and over, and destroyed her. What made it worse was that somewhere I did feel a little sorry for Barry, and I really liked Barry and Delia together. That story packed a punch until it became all about Faith. Ana Alicia. She was good, if dull, on RH, and then she blew up on Falcon Crest. Falcon Crest is the forgotten "big" soap, and sadly her incandescent work on that show also tends to be forgotten.

Members DRW50 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Ed Fry Robert Lupone - so sleazy sublime on AMC and so funny on GL John Wesley Shipp - wonderful in two very different roles, and Speedos should have been renamed in his honor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 That's funny, I had a teacher in college who was just nuts about her. In a paper I wrote, I made a funny little comparison of Mme. Ranevskaya in The Cherry Orchard to Angela Channing, and he wrote all in the margins how he loved Melissa on that show. She had kind of a Roya Megnot thing going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 She could be very calm and then she'd blow up, which is one of the best parts of watching a soap, you want those emotional highs and lows. That's how life is. You may not have an evil twin but you know someone who can seem stable and then suddenly snap. She was also so stunning and charismatic, and she did not rely on the fake smirks or sneery putdowns that you started to get when primetime soaps became more cold and "hip." Oh, I forgot about Dennis Parlato. Sadly his last daytime role was not a good idea (the Roger Thorpe recast) but he was great on Loving and he was very, very strong on OLTL, in such an overpowering role. You could grieve with him over his losses yet also be horrified as he would beat Max (if he'd come around ten years later I'd have cheered him...) or beat Gabrielle on their wedding day. For a man who was generally just a big caricature Parlato made him stand out. There are a lot of people on OLTL I wish got more credit today, Gerald Anthony, Marilyn Chris, Clint Ritchie (although OLTL did a nice little tribute when he passed on), Mary Gordan Murray (she was such a natural and calming actress), others already mentioned, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Gretchen Oehler. Lisby Larson. Terri Ivens. Beth Maitland. Tonya Lee Williams. Michael Lowery. Would Ilene Kristen count as unsung? He was on a 7th Heaven rerun last night, and I had a "Look it's Tony" moment. GH needs its ass kicked for the way they did him wrong.

Members EastMA2 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Agreed about Elaine Princi. I think that she and Mark Brettschneider had smokin hot chemistry on OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
