BOO!!!!!!!!!! *Throws tomatoes at amcfreak1987*

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....

1. Sami Brady (DAYS)

2. Lily Snyder (ATWT)

3. EJ Wells (DAYS)

4. Jade Taylor (ATWT)

5. Luke Snyder (ATWT)

6. Fancy Crane (PSSN)

7. Belle Black (DAYS)

8. Tabitha Lennox (PSSN)

9. Carly Corinthos (GH)

10. Hope Brady (DAYS)

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?

1. Barbara Ryan

2. Carly Snyder

3. Jade Taylor

4. Stephanie Forrester

5. Kate Roberts

6. Victor Kiriakis

7. Phillip Kiriakis

8. Nick Fallon

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&

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

I liked this idea:
