Most miscast soap roles

Yeah, gotta go with that one. If Allyson Rice-whatshername wasn't FMB's cup o' ramen, then she should've just fired her and ordered her writers to send her out of town.

Allyson Rice Taylor.....she was the best! Susan Batten was only hired because her best pal buddy was FMB. She lasted all of 2 seconds when everyone who watched ATWT bombarded the studio with cans.

Lynn Milgrim as Orlena Gramaldi.

Kelly Hensley as Emily Stewart

KMH was part of that era when ATWT's casting director, Vince Liebhart, and his associates were making more and more questionable judgments: Lonnie McCullough replacing Jimmy Wlcek as Linc Lafferty, Doug Wert replacing Joseph Breen as Scott Eldridge, even Lynn Milgrim replacing Claire Bloom as Orlena Grimaldi. At the time, I was like, "Where do they find these people?"

The only time I liked KMH was with Royce Keller. Lonnie would have been great as another character on the show. Scott lost his aurora when Doug took over. Lynn was just a cartoon as Orlena.

He did say that people in the street knew him from Dirty Harry, I think, but I do wonder if that was just an excuse from ABC.

It probably was. Otherwise, if I were ABC, I'd consider it a plus. (How often does the antagonist from an iconic action film go on to play a leading character on a daytime soap opera? Usually, it's the other way around!)

I never really got Sharon Case as Debbie Simon. She was just a pretty girl wearing glasses and bulky clothes. It was like someone decided Sabrina Fullerton just wasn't pointless enough.

Christel Khalil as Lily on Y&R. When she first came on we were suppose to believe Dru was unable to handle her. Yet she was a complete ditz and please one couldn’t be raised by Dru, and be that much of a pain in the ass. Dru would’ve killed her.

You said it, not I. But I do agree.

Ann Hamilton as Mindy Lewis....LOL...talk about painful.

In my mind, she made Mindy look frumpy, and Mindy was never frumpy.

OTOH...Barbara CRAMP-ton...need I say more, lol?

John Bolger as Phillip Spaulding

its weird JB looked too old as Phillip but looked Great as Gabe On AW & John On OLTL

In my mind, she made Mindy look frumpy, and Mindy was never frumpy.

OTOH...Barbara CRAMP-ton...need I say more, lol?

both those mindys were bad

They shoulda Got tesreau back after Santa Barbara Ended then I would have ben spared her as OLTL's Tina

I thought Bolger fit a different idea of Phillip, it was more the writing which dragged him down.

Sonia Satra as Lucy - saccharine and fake, exactly what the role wasn't supposed to be.

I would also say Marcy Walker as Tangie, although the writing sucked a$$.

Taylor Spreitler as Mia on DAYS. She & that character were a big part of the largely successful baby switch S/L on DAYS in 2009, and yet, to me at least, she was the weakest part of it all. She was the most boring, coma-inducing Actress. That role could've been cast SO much better. I wish Mariah Buzolin whose currently on AMC as Maya had got that role. Her or Jane Levy.

Worst character ever on GL. What the hell was the point of Tangie Hill??
