Well, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who thinks Ron Moss is the worst. It's amazing to me that he has lasted almost 25 years on B&B.

I'll probably get flack for saying this, but the second worst, in my opinion, was Jake Silbermann - Noah on ATWT (I don't know where I read it, on some message board, but the viewer said that he always looked 'constipated.' I agree) What I couldn't stand was his arching his eyebrows to express emotion. And, during Noah's blind storyline, he should have watched videos of the late Mary Stuart on SFT, whose character of Jo had a couple of bouts of blindness. More recently, 'Angie Hubbard' on AMC did a superb job of being blind.

Since we can only pick one, I limited my choices to those currently on daytime.

Best Actor: Eric Braeden

Best Actress: Susan Flannery

Worst Actor: Ronn Moss

Worst Actress: Adrienne Frantz

[Gray Bunny]

Ronn Moss is just classic soap opera bad. If you want a walking cliche, just watch him. It's almost fascinating how bad his scenes are when Ridge has to be uber mad about something. It's simply spellbindingly bad.

Charity Rahmer is an absolute legend. There have been plenty of bad recasts and actors who stunk so bad that they barely lasted and we forget most of them. Remember Alan White as Chris Hughes on ATWT? Probably not. He was really bad and only lasted a month or two. But nobody remembers him or talks about him. Charity Rahmer was on for a month 7 years ago and we are still talking about her. Not only that, but her stint on DAYS became the defining moment of her career. She is the worst, bar none.

That's not a sentence you read everyday.

[Mr. Vixen]

I love you boo, but put down the crack pipe.

SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR CAT!

[Ryan Chamberlain]

I admit she ain't great as Carly. But, I loved her as Cassie on GL.

[Mr. Vixen]

Yes she was 100 times better on GL, and better yet on Loving.
