As many of you know, SOD does a writeup for each.] Best Story: DAYS Baby Switch Most Shocking Plot Twist: OLTL Bo is David's Father Most Preposterous Plot Twist: Y&R Phillip is Alive Best Couple: GL Olivia and Natalia Worst Couple: GH Sonny and Claudia Most Entertaining Couple: OLTL David and Dorian Most Tortured Couple: AMC Zach and Kendall Best Triangle: Y&R Phyllis/Nick/Sharon Worst Triangle: B&B Brooke/Ridge/Taylor Biggest Waste of Talent, Male: GH Jason Cook Biggest Waste of Talent, Female: AMC Beth Ehlers Best Secret: OLTL Mitch is Rex's Dad Worst Secret: B&B Justin is Marcus's Father Best Use of History: OLTL Return of the KAD Rapists Worst Use of History: GH Luke's secret son with Holly Best New Character: B&B Bill Spencer Worst New Character: OLTL Stacy Most Boring Character: ATWT Alison Most Boring Couple: DAYS Daniel and Chloe Best Recast: Y&R Michael Muhney Worst Recast: AMC Jamie Luner Best Returns: DAYS Carly and Vivian Worst Return: Y&R Deacon Best Villain: AMC David Worst Villain: ATWT Zac and Zoe Best Hero: AMC Jake Worst Hero: ATWT Jack Best Weddings: Y&R (Chloe & Billy, Kay & Murphy, Lily & Cane) Worst Weddings: AMC (Reese & Bianca, Adam & Annie, the 'slew of quickie nups' such as David/Krystal) Best Non-Wedding: GH "Spixie" Best Frenemies: B&B Donna and Pam Best Psycho: Y&R Patty Worst Psycho: DAYS Meredith Best Teen Story: GH Dating Abuse Worst Teen Story: OLTL Llanview "High" Best Family: AMC's Hubbards Worst Family: DAYS Kate's Most Rejuvenated Family: ATWT Hugheses Best Female Bonding: GH Ladies of Port Charles Best Tearjerker: Y&R Brad's Death Worst Exits: DAYS Steve & Kayla and John & Marlena Most Creative use of Location: GH Hospital Carnival Worst Cliffhanger: GL What happened to Jeffrey? Best Special Episodes: B&B Price is Right, OLTL Grey Gardens Most Improved Show: GL "Giving this title to GL is terribly bittersweet... but 72 years of treasured history and beloved characters did not go quietly into the celluloid night..." Most Disappointing Show: AMC (Stories botched, such as Reese/Bianca; backburnering characters such as Tad and Krystal; introducing and dropping major plot points such as with Josh and Dixie's stories.) Best Show: OLTL "This year, OLTL held on to its title and continued to push the envelope with a compelling gay storyline, history-twisting reveals, a forbidden love triangle and some major story payoff."

What morons. This list, sans a few choices, is completely ridiculous.

B&B Favorite Current Primetime Soap Opera Big Brother Favorite Primetime Soap Opera of All Time Dynasty - Beverly Hills, 90210 - Soap	GH dating abuse is the best teen story? That story has barely started and only had like three scenes tops. WTF? They must be really scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with something there. Even if they give AMC most disappointing show and worst weddings, I still don't think they gave AMC enough grief for the crap of this year. Jesse and Angie have been ruined and the big Hubbard story with Madison is a stinker so I'd hardly call them best family. Not sure I'd call Jake Martin best hero either, but I'm glad it's not Rafe Hernandez or John McBain so I won't complain about that too much.

Especially since that implies that he has any talent to begin with. Now come on... Part of this wasn't Jason's fault. I know they were trying to duplicate the Shelle chemistry from Days, except Maximista and The Jackal have great chemistry themselves. Now his character is just foundering. I gotta agree most of this list is spot on. I'll be sure to pick it up this week. :)

I agree. I will comment more later but this is the best list in like ten years LOL. They even nailed Best Show, Worst Show, and even though GL probably shouldn't have gotten Most Improved I can't argue it since it's a nice goodbye nod to the show. I just wish they still had Most Disappointing as a category. Other then that, other then a few minor complaints, I think they did a fine job. There will never be a perfect list but I applaud them for actually recognizing a good deal of the best and worst for once.

Posts: 698 Group: Elite Member Member #596 Joined: December 6, 2007	Thanks for posting Ellie! I'm 50/50 on the list. Best Story: DAYS Baby Switch - Ehhh...Didn't love this storyline. Best Couple: GL Olivia and Natalia Really? They're the best on soaps? Or is it because they're lesbians? Worst Couple: GH Sonny and Claudia - I can think of a few other couples (specifically on Days) that fit the bill here but they were pretty bad Worst Triangle: B&B Brooke/Ridge/Taylor - Yep. I hope this triangle is never done again...But we know it will be. Biggest Waste of Talent, Male: GH Jason Cook :cheers: Didn't he really want to direct or produce? :flipoff: Every time I see him on the show I think of how TPTB desperately wanted to recreate Shelle but it looks like the Spixie fans won out...for now. Worst Use of History: GH Luke's secret son with Holly - Yep. GH really tried to shove Ethan down everyone's throats and it didn't work thankfully. Most Boring Character: ATWT Alison - Oh boy they are wrong on this..Have they watched the piece of wood on Days right now..Or is that worst acting? :huh1: :sleep: Best Returns: DAYS Carly and Vivian :cheer: At least for Vivian! Worst Psycho: DAYS Meredith - I have to agree only because she didn't get the job done. She will always be a failure in my eyes. :laugh: Best Teen Story: GH Dating Abuse - Have they dropped this s/l? Keifer hasn't smacked Kristina in at least 2 weeks. Worst Family: DAYS Kate's Does she still have one? :biggrin:

Posts: 255 Group: Members Member #4,665 Joined: May 30, 2009 Favorite Current Daytime Soap Opera General Hospital and All My Children Favorite Primetime Soap Opera of All Time Dynasty	Ellie Dec 2 2009, 04:25 PM Best Couple: GL Olivia and Natalia I knew they were gonna win it but I don't agree with it at all. No matter how good the writing for them was in the beginning, the storyline took a nosedive of catastrophic proportions after the non Frank and Natalia wedding. Most importantly I don't really think the writers and network deserves praise when they didn't even let them kiss ONCE (that stunt silly kiss doesn't count). For crying out loud they even censored kisses on the cheek between them and turned them into the most asexual and chaste couple ever to have grazed a soap.
