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&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&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)

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.

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.

    • 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.)?
