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.

[DRW50]

Trying to keep this relatively short, which is not easy...

 

Lucinda Walsh (ATWT)

Delia Reid Ryan Ryan Coleridge whatever else (RH)

Kathleen McKinnon (AW)

Billy Lewis (GL)

Megan Gordon Harrison (OLTL)

Stuart Chandler (AMC) 

Nell Beaulac (RH) 

Jill Foster Abbott (Y&R)

[Vee]

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.

[Bright Eyes]

Shows with more than one character listed are in no particular order. Obviously, I have a hell of a lot more favourites, but these are my first tier. Still, I'll probably kick myself later for forgetting someone.
