Who do you think is the most over-rated soap star? Who do you think is the most under-rated soap star?

spunkygirl · 07-26-2003, 11:47 PM

Overrated, definitely Vanessa Marcil

Underrated would have to be Tamara Braun

I Dream of Jeannie · 07-27-2003, 07:46 AM

Oops maybe I should answer my own question.

Over-rated ~ Susan Lucci *ducking the stones* JMHO (I'm not trying to start something, I just want

)
Under-rated ~ Deidre Hall and Alison Sweeney

Christopher · 07-27-2003, 02:37 PM

Over rated - Susan Lucci. Lately I see why they call her the soap opera diva, she is doing a fantastic acting job on AMC. I have never seen her act this great before. I hope she wins an Emmy for this. Or at least gets nominated. I am enjoying her acting for the first time in 15 years.

Under rated - Juliet Mills. The poor woman has been through a lot and no one gives her credit for what she does. She tries her best to play Tabitha, a 300 year old witch and she does a fantastic job at it, she deserves credit for it imo.

Overrated: Susan Lucci :x
Underrated: Alicia Minshew. She's awesome as Kendall.

spunkygirl · 07-27-2003, 06:12 PM

That's funny you guys say Susan is overrated, I was just watching VH-1's 200 greatest pop culture icons, and she (Susan) ranked #74 out of 200, and TV Guide called Erica the greatest soap character in television history

Just thought I would share that

Yeah, I laughed when I saw her on that list too.

spunkygirl · 07-27-2003, 10:36 PM

I didn't laugh, I was glad to see her on there. Luke and Laura should have been on there too IMO

I Dream of Jeannie · 07-27-2003, 10:52 PM

I wasn't glad that's why I'm still on my

just ignore my comments if they offend you.

LoL, we are one misunderstanding after another. I didn't mean YOU were offended, I was saying if anyone was offended by what I was saying, I meant the word YOU universally. Anyway, I'm about off my

so I'll be back to my old nice self soon.

starsprite · 07-28-2003, 03:50 PM

I don't think Susan Lucci is over rated...I think she deserves all the attention she gets because she is an amazing actress and imo one of the best soap stars I have ever seen.

If you want overrated I would say Deidre Hall cuz she sucks at acting and is so whiny and ugh heh I prefer taping Days as opposed to watching it when it's on so that I can fast forward the Marlena/John storylines...they bore me to death.

Underrated--Farah Fath, Eileen Davidson, Patrika Darbo and Vincent Irizarry

I Dream of Jeannie · 07-28-2003, 04:53 PM

Well, here I go back to my beloved

. I understand that is your opinion and I can't do a thing about it, I understand that you have a right to that opinion, though I don't agree with it. But nevertheless I'm going to speak my mind now. Susan Lucci IS *NOT* the WORST actress in Daytime, IMO, I've seen worse such as most of the teen actors on Days they are almost all terrible. So, there you Lucci fans go, I think some of you may have thought I meant that she was the worst, I DON'T think that, I think she is the most overrated.

In regards to John and Marlena storylines boring you to death, I agree, their storylines, what excuses they've had of them over the past 4 years have been utterly PATHETIC, thanks to Lanagan and She-Lanagan. I'm betting you haven't been watching the show very long have you? I've been watching for over a decade so I've seen this show at its best when it wasn't all about TEENS. You know this is where I get mad, but not at the person who says that John and Marlena are boring or stupid or whatever I get mad at Ken Corday, Hackley, and Lanagan. They have destroyed so much about John and Marlena it's not even funny, if it wasnt' for the devine chemistry of Deidre and Drake they wouldn't be the slightest bit interesting. Not only have they destroyed J&M but they've destroyed Days of our Lives as well. I don't blame people who say that about John and Marlena, and haven't watched the show for at least 7 or 8 years, I blame the three I mentioned.

And on what you said about Deidre, I don't understand how you can say that Deidre can't act. I guess it's just different strokes for different folks.

I agree about the Marlena/John storylines boring to death. I stopped watching Days because of the guy that plays John. He just bugs me. But Deidre is a great actress, I feel sorry for her to have to work with the guy that plays John, it is sad

I Dream of Jeannie · 07-28-2003, 06:12 PM

Well, if you want to know the truth about it Chris, Deidre and Drake are more than co-stars I've seen lots of proof. That's all I'll say about that, I could get in MEGA trouble with the folks that own that proof if I don't, because they could get in MEGA trouble for having that stuff. But, trust me, Deidre doesn't mind to work with Drake. He he he.

Once again, I don't get mad at you for not liking John, I get mad at Lanagan. I LOATHE LANAGAN!!!
