Members Soaplovers Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 Guiding Light: The golden age of 1991 to 1993 was good, but I much prefer the Pam Long years. More heart and enjoyable. EON: Lee Sheldon wasn't a bad head writer. Skye and Raven were over rated ATWT: Lucy Deakins, Heather rattray, and Noelle Beck were better Lily's than Martha Byrne. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) •I never enjoyed the David Hayward character on AMC, nor Finola Hughes. •Erika Slezak isn’t THAT great - and didn’t deserve all those Emmys.

Members amybrickwallace Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 She's a fine actress, but shouldn't have won in 1995 - Leslie Charleson deserved to win that year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 Yes, she’s fine. Just fine. NOT Daytime’s answer to Meryl Streep. Some of her acting with the other alters was cringe-worthy, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 Personally, I think Meryl Streep is kind of overrated, but I see what you're getting at. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 Leslie, Brad Maule and Jackie Zeman were all robbed in '95. (Sorry, Rena.) On the other hand, I'm okay with Sarah Michelle Geller beating Kimberly McCullough, since she won in '96. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 Yes, they were. (How did Rena win over Jackie again?) Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris 2 Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 Slezak is a good performer but sometimes she needed a good director to tell her to rein it in. She could be hammy, in the same way that some of her peers (Lucci, Strasser, Walton, Seaforth Hayes et al) could be at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 9, 2021 Members Share Posted October 9, 2021 You can add to that list, though I love her, Elizabeth Hubbard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Frank2803 Posted October 10, 2021 Author Members Share Posted October 10, 2021 Never got the David Hayward love 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 10, 2021 Members Share Posted October 10, 2021 It would have made total sense. If there was no Eden, the only woman the fans would have accepted him with was Julia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Frank2803 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2021 Santa Barbara was on the air for 9 years and they only had 2 great years and 1 good year everything else was ehhhhh Ryan and Greenlee didn't work as a couple no matter how TPTB tried to shove it down the audience's throat The last couple of seasons of Dallas were mediocre but it was kinda entertaining 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Frank2803 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2021 Jackie Zeman submitted in supporting actress that's what I think hurt her chances Leslie and Brad should have won, but they lost to actors who knew how to put a reel together Justin Deas submitted a stand alone episode Slezak submitted an episode where she got to use her DID alter egos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Frank2803 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2021 I watched Rena's Emmy reel recently and if Jackie had to lose to anyone Rena would've been that person. I always thought Lois' accent made her stand out from the other nominees that's my theory why she won lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Planet Soap Posted October 12, 2021 Members Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) As cringe as some of those scenes could be, Erika did her thing in 1995. The DID plot was perhaps Viki's last powerful storyline for a few years there (dare I say one of her greatest) and it was fun to see her transition between characters. Leslie Charleson is underrated as Monica, and definately gave a more grounded performance on a more realistic storyline. Unpopular opinion: Knots Landing was better than Dallas. I wrestle with which of those two night time soaps deserve the top spot. At the very least, Knots Landing was better than Dallas after Jock's death.
