Over-Hyped Daytime Actors & Actresses

[R Sinclair]

Just to make sure he doesn't escape this list:

I agree on all three counts.

Yes, watching Cameron Mathison think he can do drama -- and can't.

What does LOLA stand for?

Law and Order: Los Angeles. Hey, it could happen!

[R Sinclair]

One day at a time...

[NorrthCafe]

Oh, thanks! It fits. She and Khalil are slowly merging into one onscreen persona for me.

[R Sinclair]

Bahhh, bah, bah, bahhhh! One day at a time!

Sheesus, I'm showing my age.

Speaking of Sheesus, I thought you were going for the Gospel song, not the sitcom.

Justin Freakin' Deas!!! Never understood why the soap press went on and on about his acting and that he actually had fans. The spitting, the yelling, the flapping windmill arms, the stepping over everyone's lines, the grabbing someone and kissing them (with gum in his freakin' mouth..) Awful, just awful! I am glad in an interview that one of GL's directors told him to "Simmer Down," and he got pissed (poor baby, JFP wasnt around to tell him was the greatest thing on earth) and would simply read his lines in a monotone for a while (which oddly enough is the only time I liked him!)

And hell yes, to Kim Zimmer! Reva left town as a real character with heart and came back as Godzilla and proceeded to chew up every set in SF.

[Marley]

No mention of Tom Pelphrey? He defines overhyped.

Agreed on Karen Witter being the best Tina. I loved her!

Definitely agree on Kim Zimmer & Erika Slezak. I'm amazed that James Scott hasn't been listed by anyone else, cause he's at the top of mine. But maybe he's not hyped outside of the Days realm as much? He's certainly overhyped within it. Any man who can blink and flap his arms that much, and make me LAUGH through a baby dying storyline the way he did, deserves to be at the top of the list.

James Scott is definitely on my list. Day's obsession with him and the fact that his character experienced the most contrived SORAS job in soap history is why I quit Days a few years ago.

Also on my list are: Michael Easton, Cameron Mathison, Maurice Bernard, Steve Burton, Tyler Christopher, Bobbie Eakes, Eric Braden, Adrienne Frantz, Kelly Monaco, Susan Flannery, Judith Chapman, and Daniel Goddard.

I say Maurice Benard, Steve Burton, Tony Geary (his appeal is lost on me), Bobbie Eakes and Eden Riegel. I am thisclose to adding Gina Tognoni to the list.
