Keith I agree with all your choices. I would add Marie Masters from ATWT to that list too. She is very underappreciated. Also from ATWT is Kathryn Hays who has never gotten the recognition in daytime that she should.

From GL I would add Tina Sloan. This woman has given some wonderful performances over the years not just on GL but on Search For Tomorrow, Another World and esp. on Somerset.

And one last one is Denise Alexander from GH. She was always overshadowed by her other GH stars. She won a few popularity polls while she was on Days of Our Lives but never got any acting honors. She was nominated for one Emmy during her tenure at GH, but never won. Then she was completely ignored for her wonderful performance as Mary on Another World.

I completely agree with Patsy Pease, Jacklyn Zeman, Jane Elliott, Judi Evans, and Suzanne Rogers but add mine Marie Masters, Tina Sloan, Kathryn Hays and Denise Alexander.

I'd have to disagree only because they receive a great deal more of airtime compared to the other dames we've listed. Misused, maybe, but I don't think underappreciated is as fitting Huber, Case or Colombino, but that's JMO. Though I guess misused is just a different kind of underappreciation, after all, isn't it?

      The Gio reveal that he is both a Q and a Falcenari will cause upheaval, but I bet Monica's upcoming death will bring the families back together

      That would have made more sense than Brooke's other love interests in those years (including the man who killed her daughter).

      I am counting on Martin to step up and check Bill next week. I need an old, nasty gay read down. Does anyone know if it has been stated that Dani went to college? I felt the same way. I got a bit worried when he didn't pick up the phone. I hope he is in good shape.

      Even though I wasn't watching GL in real time by then, I was happy that MZ got his long-awaited for Lead Actor Emmy. MZ deserved more wins than the one he got. He wasn't nominated in 1991 but should have been and I think he could have won that year, and I also think he should have won in 1992.

      How did you guys feel about Devon with Mark Dalton?  I believe so. Brooke needed a storyline that played on her history at that time. I could have seen Brooke fall for him now that she has grown up.

      ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?

      By j swift · Posted

      Forgive me because this stretches the topic a bit, but I cannot stop thinking about this line in Barbara Rush's (aka AMC Tad's doppelgänger's Ted's mother Nola Orsini & Flamingo Road's Eudora Weldon) wiki bio.

      Please register in order to view this content

      The quote comes from an article about Rush's daughter Claudia Cowen who is a reporter for Fox News.  Rush's ex-husband was one of the biggest publicists in Hollywood.  And, she had a famous house in Bel Air.  But, I want to know how at 70 years old, she wound up at the Lloyd Estate, which is huge, and had been owned by Ron Burkle and Ted Field.  The house was worth 60 million dollars in 2001.  But, I cannot find the story of why/when/how she lived there, because whenever she gets asked about it, she always says that she was “staying” there, not that she bought it. BTW, for those that may not know.  Her ex-husband, Warren Cowen, wound up marrying the mother of Sarah Gilbert (Roseanne & The Talk), as well as her siblings Melisa and Jonathan Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie).  So, Ms. Rush did not get her money from him, because she got remarried to a sculptor of minimal reknown, and they divorced in 1973. Ms. Rush died last year with dementia.
