Oh thats right ...I liked her on Passions....Justin Deas I like on ATWT and the beginning of his GL run.....he became very annoying later on in his run......

Fiona Hutchison--Gabrielle on OLTL, Jenna on GL (not Celia on ATWT, though).

Kassie DePaiva--Chelsea on GL, Blair on OLTL (well, Chelsea's debatable, I guess).

Jensen Buchanan--Sarah on OLTL, Vicky/Marley on AW (mostly Vicky--not Melissa on GH).

Judi Evans--Beth on GL, Adrienne/Bonnie on DAYS, Paulina on AW.

Marcy Walker--Liza on AMC, Eden on SB (not Tangie on GL).

Crystal Chappell--Carly on DAYS, Olivia on GL (not so much Maggie on OLTL, nor her earlier role on Santa Barbara).

Ellen Wheeler--Vicky/Marley on AW, Cindy on AMC (but not Karen, nor her role on DAYS).

I don't know. I guess we would have to define "success". People here speak of Claudia on GH like it was a smash role, but the reality seems more like the character was not working even by the actress' own admission, the writing was all over the place and the character never really found a place on the show and eventually was written out. However, since people speak of her fondly, I guess it was a success. Jill Larson's Ursula wasn't even longterm but she made the most of it while she had it, and I think OLTL fans remember her to this day. Opal she was on the role 20 years, but if I had to choose I would say Dorothy Lyman was more successful in the role.

There was a lot of hatred for her behavior but I think people usually liked BE's work. I think that's the main reason she hung around long after Krystal became pointless.

When I look at Krystal I see none of Macy. I didn't realize BE was that good of an actress until I saw her on AMC.

.

I think people enjoyed SJB's work. As you say, the character was a disaster.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
