Members frequentsoapfan Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 Foreign, regional, fake accents,etc. Which soap character's had the worst accents? My list includes any of Luke and Lucky's fake accents Sioban's on GH's Irish accent. The Lucky Charm's accent was so irritating Phillipe on Y&R's French accent that dropped every other word Lily on Y&R's Valley accent Ethan on GH's Austrailan accent that made him sound like he had marbles in his mouth Any of Bo's fake accents. Antonio on Passions Southern drawl The bad accents in that horrid telenovela fansty on Passions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 So bad that soon after this they had him out of nowhere declare he'd been faking his accent all along. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWJvI921x9o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted October 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Lol was PR supposed to be putting on an accent in that clip? Oh wait I see it kind of trickled out at the end of the clip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wales2004 Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 That was horrid....not even worthy of an Irish Spring commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted October 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Oh yeah I forgot about that crap on Oltl. I didn't sit through the full thing when it was on air. That was soapy goodness courtesy of Cartooni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Quent Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 It was probably as fake as Obama's Libya story, but I must admit I LOVED Michael Swan's Scottish accent as Duncan McKechnie on ATWT. I so associated the accent with him that I was totally disoriented when he didn't use it on B&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Daniel Goddard's half-American/half-Australian accent is damn annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 I am going to go with JJY's early Austrailian accent. I like how eventually Mac's accent just disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Thorsten Kaye's voice drove me nuts. I swear, every time he spoke, "Let Me Clear My Throat" would start playing in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted October 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 I do get headaches from the high pitched valley accents and damn if it didn't seem like so many of the females ABC hired in the past 5+ years had squeaky voices. It was to the point where I started muting my tv through various characters on GH, AMC, and when I would try to watch OLTL. The only one I give a small pass to is KW's Barbie voiced self because she had those speech issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Sheila's fake British accent on Y&R in 2005 was pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevieM Posted October 20, 2012 Members Share Posted October 20, 2012 Sadly, the worst accent ever delivered on daytime was delivered by Matthew Ashford's Jack Deveraux. I don't even know what to call it. It was just weird and for no real reason. In 2001 the directors/writers/producers (basically meaning Tom Langan and/or Steve Wyman) had him talking in a funny way at times. I can't describe it....words really can't do it justice. When Matt returned in 2001 there were some serious backstage issues, ones that never resolved themselves and dogged him right up until his 2012 departure. The way the show handled him was never normal....even taking into account bad stories/character direction that affects everyone at some point. With MA/Jack there was always a fight to minimize his character, or outright attempt make him unlikeable. And this for someone who was once the biggest star on the show and the most popular actor on daytime. Ironically, Langan was the ONLY writer (save Anne Schoettle for 2 weeks in 2006 when Matt and Missy were leaving, and this coincided with her taking the helm for a couple weeks in advance of Hogan Scheffer's arrival) who actually gave MA/Jack good airtime and a frontburner story the entire time he wrote for him.
