Members LoyaltoAMC Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Would you swap out Sonya for Melanie Healy? Melanie was very popular, I guess, but I never cared for the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Stacey Slater would be the clear choice, IMO. She arrives in 2004 and just left Christmas 2010. She was extremely popular and Lacey Turner won a whole slew of awards. Oh, and Carol Jackson, my personal absolute favourite!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 I've heard of Stacey, but didn't realize how popular she was. Yeah, I loved Carol too, but for some reason she doesn't make as much as an impression as the other female characters, maybe because she's not as colorful, or maybe because she always seemed to be a supporting character. I also f-loved the very fierce Irene Hills, but she wasn't on the show long enough to merit making the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 I also have read Sue Osman was quite popular as well. Someday I'll get around to watching the older episodes, but right now I'm spending that time watching the beginnings of Brookside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'd love to see some early EastEnders. I've seen snippets here and there on youtube. I started watching here in the US in 1990, at which point, hard to believe, they were just a few months behind the UK airings. This was just after Den and Angie had left, and just before Todd Carty and the Mitchells came onto the show. I fell in love with the show. I became addicted to the Simon-Sharon-Ian-Cindy quad, and loved the Butchers, Beales, Fowlers, and of course Dot and Ethel. It had such a real, gritty feel to it, with just enough romantic fantasy. It was nothing like an American soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 This is basically the list I had in mind, except for Stacey. I would try Coronation Street, but it would be so hard to narrow it down to 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 My OLTL list: Viki Lord Meredith Lord Dorian Lord Karen Wolek Jenny Wolek Wanda Wolek Tina Clayton Samantha Vernon Jessica Buchanan Natalie Buchanan Nora Buchanan Megan Gordon Blair Kramer Gabrielle Medina Pat Ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Ooh, nice list. I'd take out the Buchanan sisters in a heartbeat though. You left out my Cassie? And I'd probably add Marty Saybrooke as well. ETA: And Carla Gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 Anyone but Mel. Ugh. I liked Steve Owen, but Mel got on my last nerve. I actually don't object much to Tiffany Raymond appearing on your list. She was probably to the show in the late 90's what Kat was to the early 00's, and what Stacey was to the late 00's. Actually, all three of those characters were created by Tony Jordan... Tiffany was brought on as Bianca and Natalie's friend, but some would argue that she actually became more popular than Bianca towards the end of the 90's thanks to her involvement with Grant and the Mitchell's. Grant/Tiffany wasn't as popular as Grant/Sharon, but they were very popular around that time, and Tiffany's death has left an impact in the long-run, with many debating to this day if it was the right or wrong decision. I'd add Stacey to your list as well, but I see you're only familiar with the PBS episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
