Soap Characters who were always "written to win".

[YRfan23]

Obviously the first character that people might think of off the bat is Victor Newman, but were there any other soap characters who you guys think were always written to win stories?.....

[DRW50]

Stephanie Forrester (ugh)

Starting with his return, Ryan Lavery.

[Antoyne]

I honestly am having the hardest time of thinking of anyone other than Victor Newman...

I guess Daniel Jonas on Days. He has some downs occasionally but its always pretty obvious McHairy Chest will win at life.

[YRfan23]

Totally agree with Stephanie....especially towards the end.

I also have to add, that on Days, I know Sami seems to be able to turn lots of people to mince meat (or so they say) but I feel like Kate has overall won mostly every battle as far as their rivalry goes.....Does anyone in Salem even know about her putting Sami on death row??

All the Fronsian alpha dogs: Ryan, Zach, John, Todd, Sonny, Jason.

On the rare occasions when they "lost" we were told ad nauseum how unjust it was so we would feel their manpain.

[YRfan23]

duh....can't forget our old friend giggly heffa aka Phyllis.....

[DRW50]

JR Ewing (one of the reasons I don't care for Dallas as much as a lot of people do)

[dragonflies]

Uh Zach never was, he was basically the perpetual loser, as in losing out to Ryan almost always

Let's see Ryan Lavery, Greenlee Lavery, Sonny Corinthos, Jason Morgan, Sam Morgan, Carly Jacks, Frodd Manning aka Victor Lord JR towards the the last few yrs of the show. Tea towards the end too, Robert Ford, Rex Balson, Gigi Morasco

Heck even on nuAMC David Hayward fits this.

[Cheap21]

She owns this thread going by any of her stories from the last decade. Her current story is a disgusting example of that

[London]

Melanie on Days - one of the main reasons I tuned out during 2011

[Winchester91]

Not really a character, but Farah Fath under Frons/Cartini.

[frequentsoapfan]

Yes Melanie and Sami always winnnig annoyed me so much. That and those constant flashbacks to EJ giving Taylor his scarf made me tune out.

[Dee41]

Victor Newman

Brooke Logan

Frons male pets (Sonny, Jason, John, Todd (Victor), Ryan)

[VirginiaHamilton]

No mention of this cow-eyed heifer?

The whole damn show was based on this trick being written to win.

Starr Manning on OLTL and GH.
