I forgot to mention 3 of my favorites- Don Diamont, Lisa Peluso, and Robert Kelker-Kelly. Even though he's more lead on B&B, I friggin loved Brad Carlton and he's one of my all-time favorite soap characters.

Them and some others I forgot:

Don Diamont (Brad, Y&R)(Bill, B&

Lisa Peluso (Wendy, SFT)(Ava, LOV)(Lila, AW)

Robert Kelker-Kelly (Sam, AW)(Bo, DAYS)(Bobby Reno/Shane Roberts, AW- yes, I liked RKK's 2nd run)

Rick Hearst (Scotty, DAYS)(Alan-Michael, GL)(Matt, Y&R))(Ric, GH)- I never liked Whip myself

Kristoff St. John (Adam, GEN)(Neil, Y&R)

Nathan Purdee (Nathan, Y&R)(Hank, OLTL)

Debbi Morgan (Angie, AMC/The City/LOV)(Harmony, Y&R)

Eileen Davidson (Ashley, Y&R)(Kristen/Susan/Sister Mary Moira/Thomas/Penelope, DAYS)- hated her on SB though

Nina Arveson (Cassandra, Y&R)(Angela, SB)

Karen Moncrief (Gabrielle, DAYS)(Cassandra, SB)

Ilene Kristen (Delia, RH)(Roxy, OLTL)

Brandon Beemer (Shawn, DAYS)(Owen, B&

Julie Pinson (Eve, PC)(Billie, DAYS)(Janet, ATWT)

Ricky Paull Goldin (Dean, AW)(Gus, GL)- I don't think I can count Gary on Y&R

Amelia Marshall (GIlly, GL)(Liz, PAS)

What did you like about Karen Moncrief on DAYS?

Whip Jones is definetly not worth mentioning.

I know a lot of people seem to vocally hate Amelia's work on Passions - I never have seen that material. I did like her on AMC, even if she never really had a story.

People hated her work on Passions?

Well, given the first rate ensemble cast Passions had, I can see why.

Yes. I've seen it mentioned here and elsewhere, where people said she was awful and so on.

I'm not sure Harmony from Y&R has been a success either, although that's the writing, unless Debbi demands they give her Louise Beavers-style dialogue.

People hated her work on Passions?

I could have been people mistaking her acting for her character. Her character on that show was pretty annoying.

Julie Pinson (Eve, PC)(Billie, DAYS) (Janet, ATWT)

NOT EXACTLY. Unless successful also means universally considered meaningless.

Days and GH, I'll grant you. Susan and Lesley are still fondly remembered. But I think Ms. Alexander's role of Mary on AW was basically a flop. The character *was* loved by the arch villain, but as a character on her own, Mary was very boring, considering her circumstances.

I don't know if I would agree with this. Is Mary as memorable as Susan and Lesley? Definitely not. But I would still call it a success.

How could I forget one of my favourites: Lauren Koslow.

Lindsay Wells Abbott, Y&R: a desperate, clingy, social climbing, blackmailing, loser.

Margo Lynley Spencer, B&B: complex, beautiful, loyal to Eric but loving and hating Ridge, saddled with Clarke's baby, the only legitimate competition Stephanie Forrester ever faced.

Kate Roberts Dimera, DAYS: what should be a stereotypical 'rich bitch' has developed into a compelling, tough, conflicted woman and a real survivor. The only woman in daytime over 50 whose still sexy, powerful and at the same time vulnerable and romantic.

Barbara Rodell - GL Leslie Bauer recast (popular to the point where some speculated Lynne Adams was never totally accepted when she returned to the role), ATWT Joyce Colman

Ann Flood From These Roots/Edge of Night

Don Hastings Edge of Night/ATWT

LMAO.

Ehlers problem was she was sooo recognized as Harley from GL, lightening didnt strike twice with her and RPG as TPTB at AMC had hoped and the character was never really written and seemed to be bounced around from storyline to storyline.
