People in the Soap Industry You Feel Sorry For

I feel sorry for Erika Slezak (Viki, OLTL). How many more times must one of Viki's alters come roaring back to the surface, or another newcomer stroll into Llanview and claim to be yet one more child Viki had then forgot about?

I felt sorry for Blake Berris, his character was wasted on DAYS.

Louise Sorell who gave DAYS a second chance, and they completely wasted her.

Cwikly and Brash who were ousted in favor of Dena Higley.

I feel sorry for GH's Quartermaine family. They couldn't revive that clan now even if they tried.

They are always hating on REG, I don't care...I'm used to it tongue.png . I should have added something about Tangeline for good measure haha!

I truly stopped watching OLTL because of her. I found her horrendous. SImply a terrible actress. Shocked by her emmy nominations. But the fact remains, she has MANY fans and was extremely popular. Hey, to each his/her own.

Ellen Holly and Lillian Hayman.

Also: Brett Claywell/Scott Evans, Anna Lee, Phil Carey, Alice Barrett, Ellen Parker, Billy Warlock, and yes, Genie Francis.

I always wonder where her adopted daughter Katherine was--didn't Irna help her write A World Apart for its year run or so which was shortly ebfore her death.

Yes, and for [!@#$%^&*] Melanie. UGH. :rolleyes:

I felt sorry for Ed Scott at DAYS, who's attempts at making that soap rise above mediocrity was hindered by two incompetent Head Writers and an incompetent boss as well. Hopefully Noel Maxam won't have the same problem as well.

Or any of the co-exec who have to do Corday's dirty work when he randomly decides to axe an actor.

I feel sorry for Brett Claywell and Scott Evans, who continue to have their names trashed over a year after they were fired from their popular roles.

I feel sorry for Jess Walton, who is humiliated day in and day out by one of the most incompetent regimes this side of a Mack Sennett film. I feel sorry that she, who has been in this business for more than forty years, was publicly humiliated in an interview, by Paul Rauch saying he had to pull her aside to give her acting tips.

I feel sorry for the Cullitons, who never get the credit they deserve for their writing efforts, and were scapegoated after Guza left GH in 1996.

I feel sorry for any daytime actor who loses a story because of their age, size, or skin color.

Thank You, I also feel sorry for those writers who try to change the status quo and get kicked in the teeth for it, but I mostly feel sorry for those actors who show up wanting to work yet have no material written for them.

Mary Stuart,after 35 years on SFT is ignored by P&G.Surely at least a guest role on GL,ATWT or AW as a token of thanks.

Bill & Susan Hayes-superstars in the 70's and basically shown the door in 84.

Mary Stuart HAD a role on GL, as Bert's replacement Aunt Meta, and she was quite good too.

Genie Francis. I know this is out of left field, but after that story where Monty said she didn't care if Francis died from her drug habit because Geary was the show,

Wow I can't believe I've never read this before :o
