It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van.

Carrie Genzel was great! I wish she had stayed on AMC longer.

Michael T. Weiss, Days (although I did like Wesley Eure, too)
Julie Pinson, Days (she brought a sweetness to Billie that Rinna lacked, even if Billie was delusional about Bo!)
Have to disagree about Brandon Beemer, though. He looked too old and jut didn't work for me, but I'm one of those rare Jason Cook-Shawn renegade fans, LOL.
And, I hate to admit it, but both recasts of Will post-Chris Gerse have been better, although Gerse did the awkward adolescent very well.

"Even iron bends"..Victoria Rowell

Jess Walton as Jill on Y&R!! I've seen Brenda Dickson on YouTube, and let me just tell you---perhaps there's a reason why this woman hasn't had a decent acting gig since getting fired from Y&R back in 1987??!!! Over the top and campier than hell!! She was funny, but not in a good way. She would have been wonderful on one of those 80s primetime soaps like "Dynasty".....her brand of camp would've been much more suited to that than daytime!!!! She was charming, though....just not a great dramatic actress!!!!

Peter Bergman as Jack Abbott on Y&R, also. I have seen Terry Lester's performances, but I don't think he ever really measured up to Peter. He was a magnificent actor of course, and I hate to speak negatively about him since he's passed away, but they were simply two different actors with two different skill sets. I adore Peter as Jack, and don't think there's any actor out there who can play "Smiling Jack" any better!!!!


Julie Pinson as Billy on DAYS---she was more well-rounded than Lisa Rinna, and Krista Allen, also!! I would have LOVED to see her play Billie as a drug addict!! She would have totally knocked it out of the park!!!! Lisa Rinna was great, but I find her to be supremely annoying in real life!!!!!!!!!



Marj Dusay as Alexandra on GL---I know I am gonna catch hell for this, but I liked her portrayal more than Beverly M's. I watched Beverly on YouTube, and she was fantastic, of course (may she rest in peace), but I have a soft spot for Marj! She has such a charm and star quality, and I find it nearly impossible to keep my eyes off of her while she's onscreen!! Wish she'd return to AMC as Vanessa, and maybe contribute to making Greenlee and David's lives a living hell!! They both are WAAAAY out of control, and could use the reality check!!!!!!!!

Deanna Wright AND Heidi Mueller (both played Kay Bennett,PASSIONS).
SO disagree with all you guys on this one. For me, Taylor Anne Mountz is the ONLY true Kay Bennett.

LOL I thought I was the only one that liked Noelle Beck over Martha Byrne. Byrne does nothing for me.
