In response to the wig thread, who do you think has consistently had great hair on daytime?

 

AMC- Erica Kane.  I think Lucci did a great job changing styles, but still seeming like Erica each time.  And the gradual lightening as she aged (although the woman looks fantastic still) was smartly done.

 

GH- Tracy Quartermaine. Jane Elliot has rocked short hair, updos, longer hair, many shades of red, brown, even almost blonde for a bit.  I love her with short hair, but her early 1990’s longer hair was also very flattering.  Her Deidre Hall performed dye jobs have looked pretty good in the last decade too.

 

DAYS-  Hope Brady.  She has a classic style and length for years that suits her, and has flattering dye jobs.  When she came back as Gina in the early 1990’s, I thought she and her hair were at their absolute best.

 

Y&R- Victoria Rowell had great hair as Drucilla.  Longer to short, it suited her character through the years.

 

GL- Alexandra as played by Beverlee.  I especially love her longer hair towards the end of her tenure to the short blunt bob of her last year.  It looked like money.

 

Funny I can’t think of a single guy that I think has a hairstyle worth noting.  Mac maybe on GH?  Seems like it’s still his and the grey is flattering.

Julianne Moore, and for short hair I always liked Collen Zenk's and Finn Carter's.  Martha Byrne when she'd joosh it up with body.

 I wholeheartedly agree with these choices.  Colleen Zenk's sustained excellence over decades is pretty impressive on its own merits.  She probably had only two or three episodes where her hair was out of place in the three decades of her being on the show.

 

I'd also like to add a bit of diversity and add Debbi Morgan to this list, particularly her time on AMC, though I was never an avid viewer of that show.  Looking at Angie's hairstyles, from press n curl, to braids/cornrows to naturally curly, DM's looks read like a historical lookbook on black hairstyles through the decades.  I loved that she never seemed overstyled, especially in her earliest years.

I forgot about Megan Ward's perfect bob as Kate.   I really enjoyed her as Kate.  I will never understand the need to recast her with a way too young Kelly Sullivan.

 

I really liked Kate as played by Megan Ward.  She did have great hair.

 

What happened to that character with the recast then storyline under Ron was just awful.

 

Connie was perfect as exactly what she was to Kate- a source of embarrassment about where she came from vs where she was once she climbed to the top.  No need for them to be separate personalities.  Ugh.  Then to do that again with Luke like two years later?  Ugh.  Luke.  Of all people.  Not in character at all to dissociate.

Practically every man under 30 on Guiding Light during the 1980s had some of the thickest manes of hair on daytime soaps, LOL. Grant Aleksander, Robert Newman, Terrell Anthony, James Goodwin, Ian Ziering, etc.
