Hunt Block..wink wink PJ...hehe...as Ben Warren and Craig Montgomery....hell..even Peter Hollister....lol

*in best Lucinda-bitchy voice* My dear, you have befouled this thread.

Damn you for bringing up that horrid creature.

I'll second Malloy's GL work, as well as Hearst's B&B role. It's too bad Bell is so entrenched in propping the eternal Brooke/Ridge/Taylor triangle. Whip made Taylor almost relevant and self-sufficient.

Beth Ehlers (GL, AMC) owns this thread.

Gillian Spencer - incredibly popular in every soap role she ever did (Robin GL/Jennifer ATWT/Viki OLTL/Daisy AMC), which may be a record.

LMAO.

I'm surprised Roger Howarth hasn't been mentioned for Todd (OLTL) and Paul (ATWT). Personally I didn't like his Paul, but he has a lot of fans so I was sure he'd be mentioned early in a thread like this.

Judi Evans, Kirsten Storms, Robert Kelker Kelly, Heather Tom, Don Diamont, Peter Bergman came to my mind first.

What about Ruth Warrick? There's an episode of hers from the 50s on ATWT on YT and she's SO not Phoebe, and great (she is more Phoebe ish on Peyton Place though great as well but that's not a daytime soap...)

[Cheap21]

thats bc most people here from what Ive seen hated him as Paul. Ive always felt most people that were fans of him as Paul were really fans of RH himself. I know of several people who followed him from OLTL and it wouldnt have mattered what character he was playing

Gina Tognoni (Kelly, OLTL and Dinah, GL)

[MissLlanviewPA]

I know a lot of people here don't like her (I like her less now myself), but still:

Farah Fath (Mimi on DAYS, Gigi on OLTL (less as Stacy! )

And now, of course, I will run for my life...

I am not aware of her work as Macy but BE's herself is a very sympathetic actress. Even through Pratt's assassination of her character with the Marissa business she was still able to give Krystal some form of heart and compassion, which is a pretty tall order for a woman who sold her daughter away for money. I still say she is a stronger comedic actress then say a dramatic or romantic one. I am still surprised she got all those Lead Actress nominations a category that usually favors strong, complicated and harsh dramatic performances.

Sharon Case is a very understated actress. I can see why some may not like her performances, she underplays a lot of her material compared to the likes of her other contemporaries. She reminds me a lot of Melody Thomas Scott in that way.
