"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!"

I so disagree. IMO she's the worse character since Amber was on. Don't see any chemistry with Brooke, Nick constantly looks annoyed now, and no character can ever make Ridge interesting again. Plus she's really not that good an actress. And I didn't know her as Grace because I don't watch Y&R, I just don't like her

In no particular order...

1. Sami Brady (DAYS)- After everything Sami has done, we should hate her, but most people love Sami. Chelsea does the same things, but we hate her for the most part. The difference is Alison Sweeney's amazing portrayal. Sami is a character in DAYS that will most likely never be written off and I'm glad.

2. Helena Cassadine (GH)- Although she is EXTREMELY misused right now, Helena is IMO the best character on General Hospital. She's evil and devious, but she's classy at the same time! With a better writer at GH, Helena could be a key player in nearly every story if the cards were played right.

3. Victor Kiriakis (DAYS)- Like Helena, he's also very misused and I'm not sure why. JER loved big powerful business men and yet he barely ever used Victor. Victor can be your worst enemy or your best friend, but either way, he's a great character.

4. Victor Newman (Y&R)- For reasons already stated, this character is one of my reasons that I am loving Y&R right now!

5. Stephanie Forrester (B&B)- The female Victor Newman. I love this character and she is one of the only good things about B&B!

6. Janet Dillon (AMC)- Even though we don't see her these days, Kate Collins is still on contract so I'll include her. Janet is AMAZING and so is Kate Collins. We feel sorry for Janet after Amanda abandons her and yet just a few days before she is blowing up the Mardi Gras Ball. That's incredible!!

7. Zach Cambias (AMC)- Easygoing, secretive, and a bit powerful-- what's not to love?

8. Margaret Cochran (OLTL)- Even though she's dead, her story is still playing out lol. Margaret was SUCH a great asset to OLTL before stupid Dena Higley killed her. She had the possibilities of playing crazy OR playing sane, but confused. Either way, Tari Signor portrayed her wonderfully.

9. Tracy Quartermaine (GH)- Oh, I can't imagine GH without Tracy (even if she is on only about 3 times a month <_< ). She's hilarious and has a backbone, but at the same time we can tell that she DOES have a heart.

10. Adam Chandler (AMC)- If McTavish would write him the way he's supposed to be written, maybe I would love him even more. That being said, Adam Chandler will ALWAYS be a wonderful character!!!

Honorable mentions: Kate (DAYS), Gwen (PSSNS), Sheridan (PSSNS), Carly (GH), Nikolas (Y&R), Thorne (B&B), Kendall (AMC), Lindsay (OLTL)

    • There probably would have been a good chance they knew of him, especially with his ties to Spaulding and his being involved in so much scandal (meaning there would be plenty of photos and articles around they both would have seen), but I agree the mask was silly, clearly just a TV moment.

    • I think all the suits are fit too tight, except for Jon Lindstrom's. DC lawyers/doctors are not all LA fashion elites. Yes, maybe Tomas would have a more modern cut to his suit, but an established guy like Bill wouldn't go around looking like that lonely button on his jacket was ready to explode constantly.
    • I do think there's room for optimism, especially with Amazon making enough new episodes to last until December. There's still time for the various players to get their ducks in a row. Guess we'll know soon enough! 
    • I do agree it's better to just have people pop back into town. I never understood why Roger needed a mask on an island, when neither Fletcher or Alex would've known who he was. And the vine...sigh. Couldn't he have just been sent crashing through a window or something?
    • When the announcement was first made, I did wonder if other plans were in the works. I guess we can always keep hoping, especially as the show has a small core cast.
    • @chrismlAbout Lisa, agree to disagree. Actually at the time she was the only thing my partner & I disagreed about. Naturally she was Team Vicky while I was steadfast as Team Lisa.  About John & twin paternity, I think that like the 3 pillows was a transitory idea someone had that no one else agreed with. More of the attempt to accommodate Philece. About MJ, co-sign, 100% agree, if there were more degrees I would claim them. About Wally & Felicia, always a fan. Mitch? Eh, take or leave. Although I do agree that WGE is a really striking man. Who have I left out? I don't know so that's all I got.
    • RIP Wayne Lewis.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
