1. Jonathan Randall (GL) - Was introduced as a villain and while the show could have gone down the easy route and redeemed him after revealing his abusive childhood, they haven't. His relationships with the people in his life were not instant and took a lot of time to develop.

2. Dinah Marler (GL) - It seemed like they redeemed her when they paired her with Mallet but it's clear not they haven't. The character still has a ton of issues with self-image and trust.

3. Tammy Layne Winslow (GL) - She grew up with bad experiences from foster care, saw Hart killed by Dinah, had to deal with the death of the only man who was ever a father to her, was manipulated and used by Jonathan...despite all the crap this character has been through, she has retained an aura of innocence and faith that comes off as genuine.

4. Lizzie Spaulding (GL) - Comes off many times as over-the-top and a girl wanting to be the centre of attention but inside is the girl who feels completely alone because no one really cares about her.

5. Alan-Michael Spaulding (GL) - The show has done a great job explaining how his need for power is a result of years of childhood neglect and feelings of how he now has to prove himself. It's unfortunate his character has been extremely underused.

6. Simon Frasier (ATWT) - For a character we're supposed to see as a villain, he's really easy to sympathesize with. He's charming, funny, and makes every annoying character worth watching just as long as he's sharing a scene with them.

7. Carly Tenney (ATWT) - Finally! A character who isn't depending on her man or her friends to have a life and seeking independence on her own. Let's hope it lasts a while.

8. Luke Grimaldi Snyder (ATWT) - Not only has to deal with coming out, he has to deal with splitting his time and commitment between two parents.

9. Damian Grimaldi (ATWT) - I can't tell if there's even a small part of him who loves Luke and doesn't realize he's hurting the poor kid or if he really does have no shame in manipulating and using his son's love for him to get what he wants.

10. Lucinda Walsh (ATWT) - I can't stand characters who think they're always right...but most of the time, she is always right.

    • 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?
