How can you forget hot Shawn Garrett played by Grant Cramer.

 

 

Also not on the list is David Kimble.

@clubkidjeff Speaking of Rose...found this while looking for the clips with Shawn burying Lauren.

Alma Rudder (AW) was one of the most frightening antagonists I've ever seen on a soap.

Thank you @Soapsuds I couldn't think of his name, yes Shawn Garrett/Grant Cramer.

And yes David Kimble...

Thanks for Rose clip!

I'm okay with Billy Clyde Tuggle, Roger Thorpe and Carl Hutchins being included on the list.  Would I give them the same rankings, though?  Probably not.

Sheila Carter, Mitch Laurence and James Stenbeck are also okay on this list, even if all three were severely damaged by too many return visits and too much two-dimensional writing.

But I'd never include Stefano DiMera, Helena Cassadine or Kristen DiMera on any "Greatest Villains" lists, because those three are far too arch for my taste.  (I like my villains to possess SOME nuance and vulnerability.)

And Cesar Faison is just plain boring to me.

Well, I was pleasantly surprised to see Kristen make it on the list, happy about Sheila and extremely happy for Faison.

 

I like Carl, Roger, and Mitch are on it as well because their reputation precedes whether I watched their respective shows or not. But I could say that for Stefano as well. No matter how funny he was written, I always found that JM still play some sense of menace with a dash of charm.
