Most Iconic Characters from The Short Lived Soaps

[Joseph]

feel free to speak your mind on such matter, as long as your chosen character was featured in a show that lasted less than a decade, as you feel like, well if this show went on longer this character would be truly iconic and well known to this day,

example: Reena Bellman Cook Dekker and Paige Marshall Carrington both from Texas, i know they could've been Daytime Icons, if that soap endured more time, Just the Fact Lisby Larson's Paige could actually hold her Own against Beverlee Mckinsey's Iris shows she could've been one of Daytime's Great Schemers, Same for Reena she was a sexy, scheming Woman who was getting a great treatment in Layers, she could've been great too

Quoting MYSELF to add proof i forgot before

Didn't watch the show but Santa Barbara's Cruz and Eden were a top 80s supercouple despite the show's low ratings.

Good Catch, you know i think they were why the show was so popular, in fact SB is the ony soap besides B&B ever aired here on Brazil

i didn't know about her but this was enough to get me hooked

Carrie on Central Park West

Heather on Titans. 

Peyton on Savannah.

 

10 years seems like a long run for a soap. Even Dynasty and Melrose went under 10 and they are pretty iconic on their own.

I think we have the exact same taste in characters

EXACTLY where my mind went too.

Madchen Amick's work on the first season of CPW is a forgotten gem.

She hasn’t been mentioned yet but Annie Douglas on Sunset Beach. Truly iconic as the resident bad girl vixen yet still endearing and entertaining unfortunately I don’t think there has been such a fun character on daytime since.

[Marissa Gallant]

Augusta Lockridge 

[AMCOLTLLover]

People claim to have never watched that show but everyone seems to know them:

Timmy and Tabitha from Passions! The most iconic duo from a show no one watched

I'm an example. I never watched even a scene much less an episode but it doesn't keep me from knowing of the existence of Timmy played by Josh Ryan Evans (RIP) and Tabitha played by Juliet Mills. If only I could harness this useless information to a good use!

[Joseph]

wow those are great!

 

yeah i've heard of them too lol but Tabith a and Endora are also bEWITCHED

well under 10 years was because my mind went to daytime, i totally forgot how it would sound for primetime, but up to 3 seasons seems fair to me, sounds ok?

What About Sabella Scott Colby? She was basically the only character who survived the Soap, and went on to the mother series

 

[Melroser]

I just recently watched the entire original run of Dynasty and have finished the first season of the Colbys. I'm not a big Sable fan. I found her hard to root for. Not sure why because I loved Alexis, but I never felt sorry for Sable like I did Alexis most of the time. 

[Neville]

For me, it was actually the opposite. Sable was IMO much more sympathetic and her behaviour more understandable than Alexis'. So much, that I barely saw her as a villain.

Also, Annie Douglas from Sunset Beach.
