Members Quent Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Often when we think of a soap actor/actress, we picture them in one defining role. Can you ever see Susan Lucci as anything other than Erica, or Tony Geary as anything besides Luke? Not that many haven't tried, but most times the magic just isn't there, or they are not suited for the role. But there must be some soap stars for whom lightning struck twice. Who do you see as successful in more than one role? And who was GREAT in one role, but awful in another? (For the second category, may I nominate Susan Batten....fantastic as OLTL's Luna, awful as ATWT's Connor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Robin Strasser - Dorian (OLTL), Rachel (AW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Quent Posted January 26, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Soapboy, GREAT choice of Robin Strasser. Her Rachel defined the early bad girl, and her Dorian was quite popular. My choice would be Cady McClain. She won Emmys as both Dixie on AMC and Rosanna on ATWT. What was great is that the characters could not have been more different.

One of the worst actors IMO...lol....wasnt too into his acting at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Not entirely sure about actors who were only in a role for a few years or who had mixed reviews (as Lester and Christopher seemed to on ATWT and AW). It's also why I'm not sure about Maeve Kinkead (not sure how popular she was on AW). I guess you should also add Andrea Evans, even if many would say her B&B role is similar to Tina on OLTL, or that her Y&R run was just Tina.

Members Soapsuds Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 i forgot about Andrea Evans...loved her as Patty and Tina. I just cant stand her as Tawny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 She was on Passions too, although again people might say that was Tina. Justin Deas - his ATWT/SB/GL/RH roles were all very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
