There are so many great characters on the 5 shows I've included below. But if I absolutely had to narrow it down (and without putting them in order of preference)...

 

Dark Shadows - Victoria, Burke (esp. Mitch Ryan's version), Roger, Elizabeth, Barnabas, Angelique, Nicholas, Quentin

The Doctors - Nick, Matt, Maggie, Carolee, Althea

GH - Alan, Monica, Laura, Anna, Lucy, Helena, Zander, Anthony Z. (Note: I'd like to include Steve and Jessie, but I just haven't seen enough material where they were primary rather than supporting or background characters. What I have gotten to see, I've really liked. Regarding Luke, I fluctuate too much between really enjoying the character and being sick of him and glad he's gone; so I didn't include him as a favorite.)

OLTL - Viki, Asa, Bo, Dorian, Tina, Ed, RJ, Lindsay

Ryan's Hope - Jack, Maeve, Jillian, Delia (esp. Randall Edwards' version), Siobhan (esp. Sarah Felder's version), Rae, Patrick, Finn McCool

With several decades' worth of soap viewing under my belt, narrowing down a list like this would be impossible, but just some of my all-time favorites:

--Alice Matthews Frame (Jacqueline Courtney), ANOTHER WORLD

--Chris Brooks Foster (Trish Stewart), THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS

--Susan Hunter Martin (DAYS OF OUR LIVES)

--Bert Miller Bauer (Charita Bauer), THE GUIDING LIGHT

--Jessie Brewer (Emily McLaughlin), GENERAL HOSPITAL

I have to stop...there are so many, I could type all night, LOL!

GH- Well, the first time I watched it, it was Luke & Laura that hooked me because they were literally about to have their first on-the-run story and I liked the adventure. Later on, though, Anna Devane became my favorite because she was so kickass and not the damsel-in-distress, sidekick to the male character. She was so unlike all the female characters I'd ever seen and I just loved her. Even though I no longer watch any current soaps, Anna of that time period probably remains my across-the-soap favorite female.

DOOL - well, again, I got hooked by a couple, Steve & Kayla, since I started watching shortly after they met

EON- Sky & Raven...what chemistry. I only started watching it during its last few years. Luckily, I was able to watch some more when AOL started streaming it years ago and now that it's on youtube I think I'm going to try to find a good starting point to watch consecutively.

OLTL- Clint Ritchie's Clint. Viki grew on me by association. I loved them in the 80s. I really missed his presence when he retired and, of course, passed away.

GL - I started watching because I followed Larkin Malloy from EON to GL so he started out as my favorite. But Harley became my eventual favorite as I saw when she debuted.

RH- I saw this sporadically at the time because I was going to school but Jack stood out for me. And I had a teen-crush on Joe #1, Richard Muenz. I hated when Roscoe Born took over and it stuck with me because I never did like him no matter what he was in after that (didn't help that he played nasty characters)
AMC - the first soap I ever watched and I did like a number of characters and couples (Cliff & Nina, Greg & Jenny) throughout the years but, unlike the other shows, where I could easily pick a longtime strong favorite, that's not the case here
