I'm shocked that they put Lesley at #1, but I did like her, and Denise Alexander is one of a kind.

Great to see India on that list. She was wonderful, and Mary Kay Adams is a goddess.

I'm glad that some of the older soaps were included.

A few I would have included:

Delia Reid Ryan Ryan Coleridge

Karen Wolek

Nikki Newman

Jill Abbott

Iris Cory

Tina Lord should have been on there!

Erica Kane should have been #1. EVERYONE knows Erica. Lesley hasnt been relevant since the early 80s

That list is terrible.

Laura Webber

Angie Hubbard

Drucilla Winters

Cricket Blair

Lily Walsh

Sally Spectra

Monica Quartermaine

Brenda Barrett

Ashley Abbott

Lorie Brooks

Maeve Ryan

Mary Ryan

Nora Buchanan

Julia Capwell

Eden Capwell

Julie Williams

Jessica Griffin

Lisa Grimaldi

Margo Hughes

Kim Hughes

The biggest omission is easily Julie Olson Banning Anderson Williams Williams Williams.

Still, the Raven love is a lovely surprise.

It looks like the person wrote this list was watching ABC in the late 70s/early 80s. Raven is sort of obscure today, and the Leslie at #1 is a little bizarre.

  • Member

No disrespect, but I've never even HEARD of Lesley. Was she really that memorable? Sure, I only watch AMC, but I've at least heard of Marlena, Dorian, Reva, ect. from the other shows.

Erica Kane should no question be #1. Silly!

Isn't Stephanie Forrester a little too high on that list?

My thoughts exactly, and I'm really surprised about number 1.

IMO yes she was that memorable. She was/is a fantastic character. And while I FLOVE susan lucci, denise alexander can act circles around her.

Raven is love. Glad she's on the list, albeit I think the list in general is ridiculous.

More memorable than Erica Kane, though???

I guess I'll have to watch some clips of Lesley.

Lesley is basically the reason GH was not canceled, although the show lost interest in her. I still can't believe how bungled her 1996 return was.
