I think you've missed a few.

209. J robin Miller

(Just kidding)

[katie_9918]

I'll say Scott Hoxby, who played Cutter on GL from 1993-1995. He was dashing enough to be a leading man.

Also, Frank Beatty, who played Brent on GL around the same time.

3. Nina Arvesen(Cassandra Hall Rawlins, The Young and the Restless)

One of the biggest missteps by Y&R. NA was stunningly beautiful and had amazing chemistry with both DDs (Doug & Don). Instead, they foolishly killed her off to create that fight for her estate. It was a weak story after some really intriguing stories for Cassandra/Paul. I have no idea what they were thinking. The actress had that beauty and class that would've allowed for plenty of pairings going forward.

[NothinButAttitude]

Did Nina Arvesen choose to leave? From what I've seen of Cassandra, she was gorgeous and definitely giving Nikki a run for her money in the classic blond beauty department. Did Bill kill her off so Cricket could be paired with Paul eventually?

[koos]

Yvonne Perry as Rosanna Cabot on ATWT. Lindsey McKeon as Marah Lewis on GL. Aubrey Dollar as Marina Cooper on GL. Damn. I can't think of any guys at the moment.

[amybrickwallace]

I'll pick the two you see in my avatar: Kerry Sherman and Richard Eden (Amy Perkins Wallace and Brick Wallace, Santa Barbara) get my vote. This was the only soap for both of them. Both joined SB in October 1984, about 3 months after the show's debut. She left in 1986 and he split the following year.

Amy and Brick were like a breath of fresh air compared to most soap couples. Other than the utterly stupid New Stailand plot in early 1985 (which I have desecrated in other posts on this board and won't rehash, look it up if you don't know what the story was about), they led a fairly normal (for a soap) existence. Both came from blue-collar backgrounds and dealt with issues like unemployment and trying to make ends meet. They were friends first before becoming a couple (though they were both smitten almost right from the first moment they met). Brick was there for Amy during her unexpected pregnancy and defending her against her no-good ex. Amy stayed right at Brick's side when Augusta Lockridge framed him for embezzlement and when his world was turned upside down when the truth came out that he had been intentionally switched at birth. They made a good team, and KS and RE had a natural and sweet chemistry that made the Wallaces a couple really worth rooting for.

Their love story lasted just shy of two years when Kerry Sherman, pregnant with her second child (her first pregnancy had been written into the show), decided not only to leave SB but show business altogether to be a full-time mom. Thus, Amy was killed off in September 1986. Brick's anguish at the loss and attempts to put his life back together earned Richard Eden an Emmy nomination in 1987 for his excellent work. Then, his storyline fizzled out and he left the series in October 1987.

These days, Richard Eden's work is mostly behind the camera, as he and his wife both write, and have their own company called Think Productions. Kerry Sherman, who now goes by her married name of Kerry English, is now a licensed family therapist in Burbank. Here is her site:
