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


Recommended Posts

  • Members

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.

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?

    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

      I've never seen a trainwreck like this in my entire life. 5 pencils and 3 dolls?!!!!!!!!!!! (this little moment starts close to the 7th minute) WOW. THIS IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   
    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.
