Christ almighty! Another old thread?

Anyway, I'll play.

At the moment, I'm only watching Days, Y&R and parts of GH. Of course, I could include people from other soaps that I know are fascinating, but I'll just stick to those three shows. These aren't who I consider to be the best characters in daytime right now -- just the most 'fascinating.'

In no particular order...

1.) Pheila - Y&R. Trainwreck story that will do more damage to Y&R in the long-run, but like any trainwreck, you can't help but watch.

2.) Chelsea - Days. The perfect "grey" character. She's grown a heart, but she's still got that bad streak. I'm loving her.

3.) Drucilla - Y&R. Victoria Rowell... need I say more? *sniff*

4.) EJ "Elvis" DiMera - Days. He oozes sex. His sexuality is ambiguous, and every word that comes out of his mouth has 'sex' written all over it. Is he bisexual? Is he written that way, or does James Scott just play him that way?

5.) Maxie - GH. Kirsten Storms is much better in this kind of role. Seeing her recent scenes in the hostage storyline was a breath of fresh air.

6.) Steve - Days. Stephen Nichols... need I say more?

7.) Phillip - Days. Cannot stand Jay Johnson in the role, but I love the writing for the 'new' version of the character. In serious need of a recast though, IMO.

8.) Nick - Days. I think I've fallen in love.

Couldn't think of anymore....

Pheila NEVER existed on Y&R. I spoke with LP Bell & even she doesn't recognize a Phelia. There was NEVER a character named Pheila on Y&R. I don't know any Phelia. Do u know of a Phelia? Come u point Phelia out to me? What is this so-called Phelia's history on Y&R?

For me at this time they are: (In no particular order)

1) Drucilla Winters (Y&R)

2) Phyllis/Sheila (Y&R) - best version of Sheila ever in my opinion

3) Paul Williams (Y&R) - always and forever

4) Holden Snyer (ATWT)

5) Carly Snyder (ATWT)

6) Barbara Ryan (ATWT)

7) Zarf/Zoe (AMC) - sorry to the haters but I love the character and the actor

8) Bo Brady (Days)

9) Reva Shayne Lewis (GL)

10) Luke Spencer (GH)

And I know you didn't ask but IMO the worst are:

1) Willow Stark (Days)

2) the new Philip Kiriakis (Days)

3) Ava Perault (GL)

4) Katie Kasnoff (ATWT)

5) Zach Slater (AMC)

6) Josh Madden (AMC) - too boring for me but I wouldn't kick him out of bed LOL

7) the new version of Lucas (Days) - has gotten way too boring

8) Brad Snyder (ATWT)

9) Ridge Forrester (B&B)

10) this version of Kayla Brady (Days) - please give her back her spunk

    • 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?
