I know there's an area that talks about soap operas, but since my last attempte at a post there got only ONE response (Thank you, Mrgman), I'd like to post it in a place where there are many posters.

Also, it's about a topic I'd love to fet feedback on.

Who were favorite soap opera babes that you had the hots for from any era and why?

(It can be male or female- posters of both genders can contribute, BTW)

Mine were Lee Ann from One Life To Live and Billie from Days Of Our Lives from 1996-1999.

(If you know who played those characters, you'll know why they were the only soap operas I EVER had any interest in)

I use to have the hots for Kristin Alphonso aka Hope Brady.

Kristen Vigard (sp?) playing Morgan Richards on Guiding Light (1980)

I always had the hots for Melissa Reeves. Still do.

Kirsten Storms, who played Belle Black on "Days of Our Lives" and is now Maxie Jones on "General Hospital".

lisa robin kelly played jill stevens on days of our lives and all the old timers here at so know how much i like lrk.

The first "soad opera crush" I had was India from "Guiding Light" in 1985.

In the summer of that year, Jill was shown on "Young and the Restless" laying beside a swimming pool in a swimsuit a lot!

In 1986, there was a new "Guiding Light" crush - the original Dinah, Jennifer Gatti! I kinda thought the writing was on the wall for someone else to play her when they said that Dinah, exotic as she looked, was the biological daughter of 2 WASPs. I thought it should've been Ramona, the other girl the carnival family "adopted". But anyway...

I had a thing for Samantha Marler as well.

Then in 2000 began my crushes, decades after-the-fact, on a few gals on 50's and 60's soap operas I ordered on tape. I'm gonna dodge tomatoes here - >ahemm< - I thought the original Meg on "Love of Life", Jean McBride, was HOT! There, I said it. I couldn't watch how she treated poor Beanie anymore after a while, so I had to end that. Then there was Susan on "Secret Storm"! They weren't all bad guys, though - I also thought Marge from "Search for Tomorrow" had it goin' on!
