I don't know about them being the best, but they are who I'm enjoying the most right now. BTW, I only watch ATWT, B&B and Y&R fulltime so I can only include these three soaps.

1. Victor Newman - Eric Braeden has made all the people who hates him and his character change their minds! He is doing a flawless job of transforming, yet maintaining his character with this current storyline. Maurice Benard is getting a chance to shine at GH and he is failing miserably. Braeden has this battle beat!

2. Sharon Newman - I think Sharon has always been a little dumb, but thats a major part of why I love her. She is so confused and has so many things thrown at her, she's a mess and that makes for compelling TV. The worse things get for her, the more interesting she becomes.

3. Drucilla Winters - It's like she never left! Victoria Rowell is on point in her scenes with EVERYBODY. From the gossiping with Sharon to Mommy time with Lily to her relationship with Neil, she ROCKS!

4. Margo Hughes - Dolan had been sitting on the sidelines looking bored, but now that they've given her something to do you see the passion in every single one of her performances! She still doesn't get as much as she deserves, but boy is she a joy to watch. Her love for her son and the fact that she is actually a smart cop make this story work for me. I just hope they continue to use her when this story is up.

5. Auntie Jackie Abbott - He seems to be the character they have the most difficultly writing for. Right now is a good time for Jack. For once he's not too bad or too good, he's JACK. LOVE his emotions surrounding Phyllis and the baby and how he's playing Victor. He's riding a fine line of good and evil with this.

6. Donna Logan - She has single handedly made me a B&B fan again! Jennifer Gaeris was amazing on Y&R and is doing a fine job here. The chemistry with Katherine Kelly Lang is amazing considering she is a recast. She glues with everybody and has made Nick and Ridge interesting again. I hope they keep her on the frontburner and let her turn this show upside down!

7. Luke Snyder - Van Hansis' sensitive portrayal is so much fun to watch. I love him even more now that they've thrown Damian into the mix manipulating thing. He reminds me a lot of Lily, I can't wait for them to make up.

8. Neil Winters - Neil is another character having a huge transformation. After being treated like cat [!@#$%^&*], I'm glad to see him finally living his life! His wife lied to him for 18 years, everyone at his job treats him like [!@#$%^&*], but he didn't go to the bottle! Go Neil! He has found a woman who appreciates him. I can't wait to see where he goes.

9. Jade Taylor - She'd be much higher on my list, but I didn't want to get crucified! :lol: I love how she tells it like it is and is up in everyones business. She's not full on evil, just a troubled girl trying to make her way. Elena Goode is doing a great job with the role.

10. Phyllis Abbott - I will always love Michelle Stafford, but right now I'd like to see more fight out of Phyllis. So far it's okay, but I don't want her and Nick to be happy. Like Sharon, she needs the conflict to make her more interesting. Maybe they could give her more stuff with Daniel/Alex to bring out the edge.

Right now, my picks are (I watch ATWT and a little GH):

1. Casey Hughes, ATWT. I love how they're grooming him to be the romantic hero, and they never forget he's got a lot of Tom *and* Margo in him.

2. Lucinda Walsh, ATWT. The one and only! I can't wait for her to eviscerate Damian!

3. Luke Snyder, ATWT. Just like his mama, too trusting of the wrong people.

4. Will Munson, ATWT. He just looks so uncomfortable in his own skin all the time. Breaks my heart.

5. Carly Snyder, ATWT. I am loving watching her give Jack what-for and I hope she and Simon have tons of fun together. I don't even care if it's not romantic.

6. Carly Corinthos, GH. She is a force to be reckoned with, and Laura Wright has claimed the role as her own, hands-down.

7. Lulu Spencer, GH. She looks EXACTLY like her mother, and acts EXACTLY like her father.

8. Barbara Ryan, ATWT. I wanna see how much Jen's death really changes her, in the end. I think she might surprise me.

9. Henry Coleman, ATWT. Why doesn't he have a storyline of his own yet? But not with Emily, please!

10. Emily Stewart, ATWT. She's a complete mess and she always will be. But she makes me feel sorry for her anyway.

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
