Since I am new here, I thought this might be a fun thing to do. So I could see who some of you have enjoyed over the years. Just an ice breaker, hope this will generate a lot of responses and maybe take some of us down memory lane!

 

Here are some of my (soap by soap):

 

All My Children: Adam, Erica, Jenny, Angie and Bianca

 

Another World: Frankie, Rachel, Jake

 

As The World Turns: Carly, Margo

 

Bold and the Beautiful: Brooke, Stephanie, Katie

 

Days of our Lives: Hope, Marlena, Jack, Kayla, Lucas

 

General Hospital: Sam, Laura, Robert, Robin, Brenda, Luke, Lesley, Alan

 

Guiding Light: Alexandra, Roger, Reva, Maureen, Alan-Michael

 

One Life to Live: Vicki, Dorian, Bo, Nora, Max

 

Santa Barbara: Julia, Mason

 

Young and the Restless: Jack, Ashley, Katherine, Michael, Sharon, Nicki, Drucilla

 

I just did this off the top of my head, so I may have forgot some.

After I did this I saw Roger was the only male character I even listed; there's a plethora of male characters I've enjoyed I suppose the divas all stand out so much more.

Oh, boy. Okay.

 

  • Victoria Lord (OLTL)
  • Marty Saybrooke (OLTL)
  • Nora Buchanan (OLTL)
  • Dorian Lord (OLTL)
  • Natalie Buchanan (OLTL)
  • Todd Manning (OLTL) - sorry!
  • Rebecca Lewis (OLTL)
  • Blair Cramer (OLTL)
  • R.J. Gannon (OLTL)
  • Rachel Gannon (OLTL)
  • Luke and Laura Spencer (GH)*
  • Bobbie Spencer (GH)
  • Robin Scorpio (GH)
  • Anna Devane (GH)
  • Lucy Coe (GH)
  • Angie Hubbard (AMC/LOV/TC)
  • Bianca Montgomery (AMC)
  • Erica Kane (AMC)
  • Lois Cerullo (GH)
  • Billie Reed (DAYS) - Lisa Rinna '90s edition

 

* - linking them together is intentional - without Laura or rather the acknowledgement of Laura's essential touchstone in his life, the post-2002 Luke meant little to me. I grew up watching them in the Labine era and that's my most important point of connection.

 

Alexis Davis on GH was also a huge favorite of mine at her peak in the late '90s and early 2000s, but the character is a mess today.

    • To me that's always what they have been. I figured that was part of the charm to people who enjoy them. They could have just had the legendary Rosalind Cash onstage but instead they have Lucky and Luke (and Justus) in the background to give us some heartwarming comedy as the Pips. I think the Nurses' Ball should just have been left to those first few years, to be honest (any time before we got year after year of Ned "rocking out" and the year of a sex tape being played), but I do know many people love them. My main issue is they often just seem a little too glossy since coming back thanks to the HD format. I was watching the Spinelli performance on Youtube and it is clearly meant to be charming, silly fun, which it is, but it's more suited to the cheap seats era of the Ball where you had someone literally hanging from the rafters, not today's slickness.
    • I think Grant had just returned, although I'm not sure. I can't remember the exact quote, but I think Kassie said Blake took her storyline, her romantic pairing, and her job (at Spaulding). I can't remember when this was - maybe her leaving interview in SOD or SPW. 
    • I meant to mention Kat on my list. I think the actress is killing it, and I love the way Kat dresses. I can't understand having a problem with her wardrobe, which completely fits the character.
    • I wonder who Andre was thinking about when he was lying in his bed. Kat gives me feels of Y&R early Christel Khalil Lily, and her being a virgin is a throwback to the 1980s prized virgin heroine ie. Y&R Cricket, B&B Caroline, As the World Turns Lily.
    • This "3 Love Stories" episode was like taking a sleeping pill with a bottle of Nyquil. Josh Griffith is writing for 80-year olds with blue hair.
    • I guess in terms of Phillip's woman du jour coming in third behind Beth and Spaulding, that's true. But she sure wasn't either MKA or even Liz Dennehy. Was Bolger still in the role at the beginning of Phillip/Chelsea?
    • -- The coming out stuff was well-written and acted, but can't we at least hear someone tell Chelsea she needs to find a girl (or boy) who isn't frickin MARRIED? How is that not a huge fail on her part? She was willing to wreck a marriage to get herself a new boo. -- Dani can't have it both ways -- wanting Andre when she wants him but not wanting a relationship. He needs to leave her dry. -- The Dani/Pamela kiss was a plot device, but I get why they did it. I still think Cady McClain is overacting like crazy. -- Sean Freeman is good as Andre, but geez, his expertise on how relationships work is hard to listen to. He is not that guy. -- Ashley continues to be horribly written and badly played. I've grown to really dislike the character to the point of supporting Derek. -- The closing montage with Ashley and Derek looking at their phones was cool out of context. In context? We just saw Naomi lecture Derek about what to say to Ashley and how to move forward. So why in the hell did he go back to the fire station? Why not go back home? Made no sense. -- The writers are not giving Hayley enough. She's islanded. -- The Leslie/Eva scenes are still great. We get to see this complete mind control that Leslie has over Eva. We know that everything Leslie says is selfish and incriminating and awful, yet it's easy to understand why Eva falls for it.
    • Imagine having to do that in one take 
    • I can't remember who or how many people here have said it, but thanks to this site, I can't not think of the Nurse's Ball as akin to a school talent show.
    • It’s a 2025 spin and meshing of both. I love that it also makes her stand out in comparison to all the other women. Like she and Chelsea could not have more differing styles. I applaud the costume designer.
