ALL: Soap Opera Actors with the strongest on screen presence (currently)

[Boldsoaps]

What Soap actors/actresss from each soap have a strong presence or aura on screen. Just very commanding, and potential to overshadow others in scenes. As well as having the spotlight drawn on them.  It could either be caused by their confidence, acting skills, charisma, beauty etc.

I would say:

B&B- Jacqui, KKL, Tanner Novlan, Mathew A and Don Diamont.

YR- Zuleyka, Michelle Stafford, Eileen, Melody, Peter Bergman and Eric Braeden

Gh- Tanisha, Finola, Maura, Steve Burton, Nicholas Chaves, and Laura Wright.

honorable mentions: Heather Tom, Sharon Case and Cynthia Watros. Courtney Hope use to have this but lately her as well as the Sally character dulled up.

Number 1 - Stephanie and Sally

Then - Original Caroline, Clarke, Original Ridge, Taylor circa 90s, Brooke, Deacon, Amber, Sheila, James, Morgan

Good mentions - Massimo, Bridget circa 2001-2002, Jackie, Margo

There are others....but I am tired tonight

If I were to to factor bold all time. Susan and Darlene are definitely #1. They did do a good job with casting their namesakes Jacqui & Courtney. I would also include Joanna in the 80s. Ronn Moss. Rena. Krista Allen. Don Diamont. The actress who played Margo. I think Hunter Tylo & Tanner Novlan excude it because of their beauty. I actually think KKL developed presence in the later years. In the early years I didn’t see a strong commanding screen presence. Maybe Karla Mosley?
