Worst Female/Male actor and Best Female/Male actor

[SFK]

Very glad to see Julia Barr finally mentioned. I think she's one of the most underrated (even with her two Emmys) daytime greats.

Laura Wright: daytime's answer to the Law of Diminishing Returns.

[JaneAusten]

I think its pretty universally known Laura Wright was hired at GH because they knew she was a lifer and felt the role was too critical to go through more upheaval, Me I have no idea why they didn't kill off Carly after Sarah left.

What was that you said to weareclouds about putting down the crack pipe?!

Susan Flannery?? Heather Tom?? Kimberlin Brown?? Eileen Davidson?? Lesli Kay?? Jennifer Finnigan??

[Mr. Vixen]

LMAO, I was trying to keep it to the current cast!! I know Heather Tom and Susan Flannery are on the show now, and I definitely would put SF up there...but I've never really liked Heather Tom on B&B. She was great on Y&R, but I dislike Katie.

With the exception of GH, all of the choices I made for the other shows are people CURRENTLY on the show.

[Quent]

I'I'm mostly an ATWT fan, but I've sampled other shows, wspecially Y&R. But I keep seeing the names Charity Rahmer and Ronn Moss popping up for Worst Acting. First of all, wasn't Rahmer only on for a couple of weeks? How bad could she be, compared to that horrid Daisy girl on Y&R? And Moss has been on since B&B started, so he couldn't possibly be as bad as others (e.g. the first Thorne on B&B, or the awful Paul Ryan from the '90s on ATWT), could he?

[JellicleCat]

Umm, Judith Light?? When did she return to OLTL?

And how you feel about the character shouldn't really influence how you rate the actor. I loathe and despise Stephanie Forrester, but I still think that Susan Flannery is the best actor on B&B.

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood on the other hand is, in my opinion, only slightly better than her dear departed twin Mackenzie Mauzy and Teri Ann Linn, the dreadful first Kristen Forrester. I think, again just my opinion, that the reason they put an end to the Steffy/Bill/Katie triangle and went with Steffy/Liam/Hope instead is because Jacqueline was in way over her head against Heather Tom. Kim Matula is more on her level.

Best Actress: Fiona Hutchison

Best Actor: Eric Braeden (I love the guy, sorry lol)

Worst Actor: Ronn Moss

Worst Actress: Renee Elise Goldsberry (I found her beyond wretched)

[Mr. Vixen]

Haha, you're right. I fucked up bad. I meant to do all people that are currently on the canvas. however, i don't find hardly anyone on GH, other than those listed, to be very good. And Judith Light is obviously the best from OLTL.

I like Heather Tom, I do...But I don't think she shines in this role. She's definitely good, don't get me wrong. I just don't see what I saw on Y&R.

I'll amend it.

[JaneAusten]

I am really shocked at all the votes for JPL as the worst.

[y&r_fan]

I'd completely forgotten about him. What was Bill Bell thinking when he originally cast the Forrester siblings (Ronn Moss, Clayton Norcross, Teri Ann Linn)? Yikes.

[juniorz1]

How could I forget Benjamin Hendrickson? Probably my favorite actor on ATWT of all-time. I LOVED Hal and Hendrickson elevated every scene he was in, especially at the end.

[YRBB]

Y&R: I was going to say Melody Thomas Scott, but then I thought Victoria Rowell. Then I thought, Tricia Cast. Then I thought Eileen Davidson. Then I thought Heather Tom. And Jess Walton and Jeanne Cooper and Tonya Lee Williams. And so on, and so forth. It says a lot about their female veteran cast. I can't choose but that's also because all these characters are (were) so vastly different between them.

With the guys, things are less gray. I think I would go with Doug Davidson and Kristoff St. John, mainly because I don't recall EVER seeing them fake it in. They always give it their best. Eric Braeden, Peter Bergman have often been brilliant but only when they feel like it.
