Top 13 Child Actors on Daytime Soap Operas

[MissLlanviewPA]

I only know the GH kid actors, so I can't really judge this list objectively.

If they ever did a list of child actors throughout soap history, though, I would only hope Erin Torpey would be on there somewhere. She's always forgotten among soap kid lifers nowadays. She wasn't perfect, but I did like her more often than not.

And I LOVE Hayden Panettiere. I finally started watching the first season of Nashville on DVD, and I can't wait to see more of her there .

It looked like they pretty much mentioned every soap kid so none of them would be offended. Ciara on Days may also behave that way because of her Aunt Julie. For me Hayley Pullos is a teen performer, so I'd put her in another list than one with children.

I have seen some of Lisa Peluso's work on SFT as Wendy and she was good. Same goes for Lori Loughlin on EON. They were both in the early teens when they were on those soaps.

Ciara Brady owns this thread! Thank God they didn't include the children of the corn Jossalyn Jacks

Lauren Boles (Ciara) is the only one on that list that I can even stand. She's adorable! I didn't like her at first but she's improved a lot. I mostly just watch GH and DAYS, so I can't complain about what I don't see. But all the GH kids are painfully bad.

"Best love triangle currently running on GH." - Please tell me you're kidding! Ughh. This is even more annoying than the hype that lousy kid actors like Brandon Buddy, Shenelle Edmonds, and Andrew Trischitta got on OLTL. I would say Kristen Alderson but she used to be a better actress.

I find Lauren Boles creepy.

There's no way Emma should be number one soap kid with the DAYS kids and Faith from Y&R in the running.

Ciara would eat Emma and Spencer alive if they interacted,

[katie_9918]

I'd pay to see that!

I like that Ciara has that Hope spunk.

Ciara would probably scare the sh-t out of Emma. I'd watch that.
