Soap Stars, past or present, you have never heard a negative comment about

I didn't see a thread about this topic - even though I checked, I may have overlooked something. In any case, I'll get the ball rolling.

A very popular face in both daytime and primetime and an Emmy winner at that, I have never heard an unkind thing said about A Martinez (SB, GH, B&B, OLTL and now DAYS). From fans to co-stars to behind-the-scenes personnel to the soap press, everyone has always said what a great guy he is, and a gentleman.

I sent a FB friend request to him several years ago (I wrote him a PM first, explaining that I was a fan of his work - not only on SB and GH but on primetime as well), not expecting to hear back, and he kindly accepted my request. He sent me his autograph, and when I attempted to purchase a used copy of his 1995 CD from Amazon (since it is out of print and not on iTunes as of yet), it led to...nothing!! Long story short, the first time I ordered it I got nothing in the mail. The second time, I got the wrong CD!!! I told A about that and joked that obviously someone doesn't want me to hear it!! He said he would get on it and send me one of the copies of the CDs he has at his home. That's going above and beyond the call of duty to make someone happy.

A Martinez is the walking definition of "class act".

Next?

Yeah, aside from the "feud" with SMG, I've never heard any horror stories about La Lucci. A little too guarded, maybe, but never anything negative or vicious.

I thought there were some issues when she was still drinking. I could be mistaken though.

I've never heard anything negative about Jackie Zeman on GH. Or Lynn Herring. And Kin seems like the most beloved soap star of all times by his peers, they all love him across networks!

How about Ian Buchanan? And Mary Beth Evans.

Monika, along with Douglass Watson, I'm guessing the other 2 patriarchs from NBC's early days fit the bill? James Pritchett seemed to be the glue that held The Doctors cast together and, by accounts, a perfect gentleman and I imagine Macdonald Carey was very much beloved as well.

    • 30 minutes in and...is there any Tracy that I dislike? lol. Cuz I love Traci on Y&R, Tracy on GH, and now Tracy on this show. She is reading the heck out of Anita so far. And sorry...Anita is not keeping up (though I am loving TT's performance). This is what I was expecting from Silk Press Sheila, but nope. But this comes of someone that truly knows someone. Loving it.   But I liking all the conversations so far today. Smitty and Martin especially. A gay couple having it out. And knowing that due to the development in Month 2 and the actors getting comfortable with their roles, I feel invested.    Not Kat pulling a Blair again on Chelesa. lol.     Same. I can avoid major spoilers for a day.

    • Yes.  I won't be able to articulate this correctly, but Tracy's delivery to Gio was almost clunky and perfect.  Gio didn't really understand how important her parents and their legacy is to her.  It was so Tracy.   Also, if I knew I was related to Lila I would immediately just sit in her rose garden and make vases and vases of beautiful roses lol
    • @j swift, that's Audrey Ames, played by Fia Porter. She was one of the actresses on Fraternity Row. https://www.oocities.org/historypg/oltl1989.html ETA: "Dorian's Fountain" would make an excellent pseudonym.
    • I got a new Robo-mop/vac today and I named it Dustin' Kiriakis.
    • Yes she does but I get Lois and her reasons. I see everyone's side
    • I think you meant siblings, as they aren't twins.  It was established in episode #2 that Tyrell is 17 and Samantha is 16.

      I was watching the 28:44 edit of All the Tour Llandview Openings from 1984-1991 (which I assume is most of the Rauch era). Any way, I could name 95% of the characters (or I knew what story they were a part of).  But, who's this? I attached the link, but be warned, that theme song is an earworm (here's where ya go when it looks like the rain won't).

    • I welled up, definitely. She got me with that one; it's only a shame these writers cannot bring this on a more consistent basis.
    • Let's Make a Deal, which followed AMC, went from 9.2 to 7.5 those weeks, so it happened to both shows.
    • When she showed Gio the picture of Lila and Edward and said these are your great-great grandparents I might have shed one single little tear.
