Characters you always rooted for, no matter what


Recommended Posts

  • Members

DOOL: Kate and Billie. To an extent, Jack and Jennifer (though this is tricky because the writers set us up to be for one and against the other).

GH: AJ Quartermaine, (GV's) Lucky Spencer, and Johnny Zacchara.

OLTL: Marty Saybrooke, David Vickers, and Kelly Cramer.

AMC: Aidan Devane and Richie Novak. To an extent, Greenlee.

Many of these characters and their portrayers are what actually hooked me on their respective soaps. Here they are, with the ones that hooked me on their shows listed on top:

Marlena Evans, Days of our Lives

Eden Capwell Castillo, Santa Barbara

Sunny Adamson, Search For Tomorrow

Trisha Alden McKenzie, Loving

Brooke Logan, The Bold and the Beautiful

Jill Foster Abbott, The Young and the Restless (Jess Walton)

Ashley Abbott, The Young and the Restless (Brenda Epperson and Eileen Davidson, though I prefer Epperson's Ashley, I still root for Davidson's Ashley- that same strength and backbone is there, I just miss Brenda's heart :( )

Brooke English, All My Children

Carly Tenney, As The World Turns

Susan Stewart, As The World Turns

Donna Love, Another World

Victoria Love, Another World (all actresses, although Jensen's Vicky to the least degree)

Lorna Devon, Another World

Kathleen McKinnon, Another World

Cecile DePoulignac, Another World

MJ McKinnon, Another World (Kathleen Layman only)

Lila Roberts, Another World

Liza Colby, All My Children

Janet Green, All My Children (the divine Robin Mattson's character, not the caricature Kate Collins played)

Rose D'Angelo, As The World Turns

Meg Snyder, As The World Turns (yes, I :wub: Marie Wilson's Meg, especially the first year and a half)

Lucinda Walsh, As The World Turns

Katie Peretti, As The World Turns

Barbara Ryan, As The World Turns

Emily Stewart, As The World Turns (until the writers went overboard and made her a call girl and every other ridiculous, humiliating thing they could think of- KMH is a real pro for making some of that sh!t work, like Emily kidnapping Dusty(!) for instance)

Sheila Carter, The Bold and the Beautiful/The Young and the Restless

Anna DiMera, Days of our Lives

Julie Williams, Days of our Lives

Liz Chandler, Days of our Lives

Gwen Davies, Days of our Lives

Anjelica Deveraux, Days of our Lives

Billie Reed, Days of our Lives (Lisa Rinna and, to a lesser degree, Julie Pinson only)

Vivian Alamain, Days of our Lives

Carly Manning, Days of our Lives

Tiffany Hill, General Hospital

Felicia Jones, General Hospital

Ann Alden, Loving

Gwyneth Alden, Loving

Ava Rescott, Loving

Blair Daimler, One Life To Live

Tina Lord, One Life To Live (Karen Witter and to a far lesser degreee, Andrea Evans and even lesser, Krista Tesreau)

Dorian Lord, One Life To Live

Ivy Crane, Passions

Eve Guthrie, Port Charles

Julia Wainright, Santa Barbara

Kelly Capwell, Santa Barbara (only Robin Wright and especially Carrington Garland)

Augusta Lockridge, Santa Barbara

Sophia Capwell, Santa Barbara

Gina Blake Capwell Timmons, Santa Barbara

Mary Duvall, Santa Barbara

Victoria Newman, The Young and the Restless (mainly Heather Tom, though Heinle has had a few moments.......literally a few moments in her 7 years)

DIANE JENKINS!!!!!

Sharon Collins, The Young and the Restless

and

Avery Bailey Clark, The Young and the Restless ((currently the one character in all of soapland that I find three dimensional and interesting- any scene she is in is elevated 1000 points just by her presence alone)

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
