Members LoyaltoAMC Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 I've never been a huge fan of Lucci or "Erica," but there's no denying that Erica should top a list of the most memorable female soap characters of all time. I'm not sure I'd even include Lesley Webber in a list of GH's 15 most memorable characters, and I watched GH religiously from 1978-1986. Maybe that's a testament to Denise's talent. She's always been more low-key and natural, and less flamboyant than your typical soap actress, so I can see how Lesley might fly below the radar in a list of top characters.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 Top 15 GH characters?

Members LoyaltoAMC Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 I like your list, except that I'd probably swap out Amy, Gail, and Helena, for Carly, Brenda, and Felicia. Not a fan of what GH has become, but Carly and Brenda, esp. Brenda, are now kind of iconic. Felicia was the show's leading lady for several years.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 Oh my god I forgot about Felicia! I would swap Helena for Felicia! I would have included Carly, but she was only great for about 2 years...The rest of the ladies had real impact. And while Brenda was great, I don't consider her extremely important. And she has contributed a lot to what the show has become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 yes Sally would be. Heck Sheila would be more memorable than both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 I switched out Helena for Felicia. I can't BELIEVE I forgot Felicia. She's one of my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 Skye is memorable for AMC stint. She was highly underutilized on GH. She only had like a year and a half worth of material and then drifted to the background, being wasted till she left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 She had good material from 01-03. and again in 06. but in general, she was underused. still one of my favorites though. loved her when she was at her bitchiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members teplin Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 I stopped watching GH after the show wrote off Lesley, that's how much I love Denise Alexander. She's why I started watching GH in the first place, and was fortunate to see Luke & Laura from the beginning. But putting her at #1 (or even in the Top 10) is odd. Besides, Susan Martin (Days) was really her signature role. LoyaltoAMC, I'm pretty much in agreement with your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 Apparently there were even protests outside the studio after she was killed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
