What do you mean by "have?" I'm getting Jan Spears vibes...

 

Susan Lucci has always been #1, but her Instagram just solidifies that. It's a cliche, but she's just so down-to-earth while still living a lush life. I'd love to have brunch with she and Helmut on their patio.

Besides her, I'd honestly welcome meeting literally any soap star. They have an inside view that none of will ever have, and that would excite me regardless of who it was.

Definitely for me:

Kimberlin Brown
Tracey Bregman
Jess Walton
Tricia Cast 
Josh Morrow (Just to have a LONGGG talk with him on how after 26 years, and 15 years of hamming it up, to just  call it a day already at Y&R......Just kidding....Well....

Beth Maitland (She sincerely seems like the sweetest person ever) 
Susan Flannery (Just so I could really get her POV of how Stephanie had to be portrayed)


Liza Huber
Lindsay Hartley
Juliet Mills 
Andrea Evans (One of the few soap stars that followed me back on twitter, LOL)

Probably a lot more I can't think of.

I've seen several ABC stars somewhat Recently at the Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philly.

Elizabeth Hubbard, Eric Braeden and Jess Walton top my list.

 

Shemar Moore is one of the kindest celebrities I've ever met. Gina Tognoni was also lovely when she made a stop in my city a couple of years ago.

I've met a lot, not gonna lie. Mostly of the DAYS, Y&R, B&B, and GL variety, but some ABC'ers as well. 

 

I always had a goal of meeting all four of my favorite divas - Deidre Hall, Kim Zimmer, Susan Flannery, and Susan Lucci.   I still have yet to meet La Lucci

Not sure about meet but I would like to meet and talk to many of the writers and producers, Pam Long, Curlee, anyone who worked with Marland, people on GL when the abrupt changes in tone happened...as in 85 and when the clone came along.

I’ve met a handful of OLTL stars of the 2000s through a friend here in NYC. He was particularly good friends with Ilene Kristen (lovely lady) and Fiona Hutchison (whom I sadly never met). At one of his parties, I had a long chat with Forbes March(!!!) about the decline of soaps. And my friend introduced me to Claire Labine, for which I’ll always be in his debt.
 

I met Nia Long, Marisa Tomei, and Jane Krakowski doing junket roundtables for the (terrible) Alfie remake. All luminous.

 

I would love to meet Paul Anthony Stewart, Alicia Coppola, Victoria Rowell, Vanessa Marcil, Monti Sharp, Jess Walton, Maureen Garrett, and Melissa Hayden. Basically the people I loved as a young soap viewer. If only I could have met Beverlee McKinsey...

    • Beth #1 being recast right before she and Eric come face to face was jarring.  We spent the first 50 episodes or so getting to know Beth and see her rapport with her kids, co worker, and even her mother in law. Her Beth seemed content with her kids and job as caterer, but you could tell she also had a faraway look that you just knew meant that she dreamed of what life would have been like had she and Eric gotten together.   Plus, she came across as someone that you could see eventually moving into more wealthy circles based on her demeanor.   Seeing Beth always looking off into space probably helped fuel Brooke's dreams of wealth because she saw how unfulfilled her mother was.  Once Beth was recast starting in episode 52, that whole vibe completely changed and Beth #2 seemed to almost like living the middle class life.. and that her Beth would feel ill at ease around wealth, etc.
    • I agree.  I've always chalked it up to the fact that DALLAS had been a pop culture phenomenon for many years and that viewers, including viewers who'd stop watching years before, were tuning in one last time to say goodbye. Also agree that it was interesting to see KL finish 27th for the week.  Any show doing that well after 12 seasons is a miracle, lol.
    • I don't know anything BTS, but your theory seems reasonable.
    • In comparison to Maurice Johnson, sure, but he's still... stiff AF. "Leaps and bounds" is a strong exaggeration as well. Watching him is like watching paint dry. I'd recast him next, ASAP.
    • Yes! Andre easily could have just been a hunk with no real depth (like Derek) but his character is rounding out very nicely.
    • They're contract; anyone in the opening is a contract player.
    • I was watching an episode last night and noticed that Pictionary is taped in Atlanta. It's just a walk for Chandler to the studios.

    • my vote goes to Eden (Belle)! She single handed carried that show on her back !! Best family will probably be The Dingles! I have to say 2024-2025 was a mixed bag on all of them soaps ! But if I had to say which one would be the best I would give it to Emmerdale for Belle/Tom’s storyarc. It went on for too long but at least was written properly compared to others. But I do think Corrie will win best soap for Mason’s storyline  Best storyline… I wish it would be Belle and tom but the abuse story from Hollyoaks will take that 100%
    • I have to push back on this. I just don't believe it. I don't believe MVJ or anyone at BTG operates that way -- seeing a performance in reveal scenes and saying "That actor has to go." If that's the case, why aren't they doing that with other actors? We all know Maurice Johnson is FAR from the weakest actor on this soap. My feeling is that Keith Robinson became available and that someone from BTG wanted him badly from the beginning. I think this recasting was all about Robinson and not about Johnson at all. Yep, and anyone who can't see that isn't paying attention. Calling Brandon Claybon the worst actor on the show is laughable. Tomas, Ashley, and Derek might be recurring, but they're also key characters, so leaving them out of this actor discussion doesn't work. They get plenty of screen time and are on contract. The only way your narrative works about BC being the worst on the show is to ignore the rest of the cast.
