Members Gray Bunny Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 Don't forget Steve Wilder, a.k.a. Jack Deveraux No. 5 (1997-1998). He was pretty wretched. Best Actress: Susan Flannery (Stephanie, B&B ) and Kim Zimmer (ex-Reva, GL) Best Actor: Jerry ver Dorn (ex-Ross, GL; now-Clint, OLTL) Worst Actress: Charity Rahmer (ex-Belle, DAYS) There simply is no comparison. Rahmer will go down in history as the absolute worst. And we have YouTube to forever remind us of her immense lack of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members applcin Posted November 21, 2011 Members Share Posted November 21, 2011 Best actor - Michael Levin - he completely inhabited Jack Fenelli to me Best actress - I'll go with the Erika Slezak contingent Worst actor - Michael Hawkins (aka Plank Frank on RH, aka cue-card reader); I was also thinking Frank D (from GL) but I cut him a break because in 2 decades on the show I don't think he was given much chance to play anything other than himself. Worst actress - hmmm...tough one...Hilary Edson always struck me as dull in the 3 shows I saw her in (GH, AW, GL)...or Holly Gagnier (I couldn't tell if OLTL's Cassie was supposed to have turned into a skank at that point with the writing or if HG's portrayal made me think of her that way and the character never totally recovered to me). There are certain actors I didn't mention whom I can't stand to see onscreen, I don't enjoy them at all (whether it's because of excessive screen time, monopolization of their shows, dislike of their characters) but I left them off moreso because I'm trying to judge based on ability even if I find them literal soap opera turnoffs.

Members DRW50 Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Best actor - Douglass Watson Best actress - Beverlee McKinsey, Maeve Kinkead, Nancy Addison Worst actor - Vince Poletto, Andrew Ridings, Michael Hawkins, the godawful Pat #3 whatever his name was, whoever played Grady on GL Worst actress - Kelli Maroney, Kathleen Tolan. Anyone who thinks Charity is bad should try to find Kathleen Tolan on Youtube. Charity was at least entertainingly bad. Kathleen made you want to hit the screen, she actively killed scenes, and this was well-written stuff with very fine actors. She also had the diction of a 90 year old grandfather from the Bronx.

Members soapfan770 Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Just one each? Best Actor--Michael Zaslow Best Actress--Beverly McKinsey Worst Actor--Jason Cook, with Daniel Goddard and Marty West as runners-up. Worst Actress--I could go the easy route and just Charity Rahmer, but I think of actresses who tortured for years, you know like Tammin Sursok, Christel Khalil, Mandy Bruno. Heck even Days has had more recent disasters like Natalia Livingston and Tamara Braun stinking up airtime far longer than Charity did. My worst actress pick then goes to Spencer Grammer on ATWT. Boy did she fall far from the tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 I would have said Jason Cook but after seeing JPL in action...it's no contest. JPL acting hasnt improved one bit. The same stuttering [!@#$%^&*] and big eye look.....he sucks donkey balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Cook is not a good actor but I don't think he actively drags scenes down. Look at his work in the episodes where his brother (on DAYS) died - he's not great but he's OK. JPL kills every single scene he is involved in. I still remember how they built up Mitch being his father for over a year, and he ruined it by making wacky smirk faces when he got the news. The only reason I didn't put him on my list is because others were worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ReddFoxx Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Best Actress: Susan Flannery/Erika Slezak Best Actor: Phil Carey Worst Actress: Brenda Dickson (she may have been good at one time, but some of the clips I've seen are over the top acting) Worst Actor: Michael Easton (same expression in every scene almost)/Drake Hogestyn (looking like you smelled a bad odor isn't acting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 Oh this needs to be by show - I still with ATWT. Best Actor: Larry Bryggman with a Kudos to Trent Dawson who somehow turned a bit part into a decade Best Actress: Liz Hubbard with Maura West second (and if she had been on it for 25 years may have take the title) Worst Actor: John Howard as Paul Ryan Worst Actress (lots to choose from): Spenser Grammer and Marisa Tomei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted November 22, 2011 Members Share Posted November 22, 2011 I didn't count him. He wasn't on OLTL long enough to make any type of impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
