Love that Kate got Most Entertaining Character and Ari Zucker got Biggest Waste of Talent - totally agree! But the praise for EJ's dream sequence? Seriously? That episodes was just embarrassing! |

Peggy McCay? Lol. John Aniston didn't do anything this year either. Other than waste of talent and worst wardrobe, I don't agree with any of the Days related ones. |

Jordan's s/l was not bad the dialogue, the writing was not bad it was most def the actress they gave Chrishell work and she dropped the ball should've gotten Julie ex LULU from GH to play her.. |

Although was there much competition in the best dream sequence category..... Maybe one of the judging criteria was length. |

I can't comment on the other shows mentioned, but I think that each Days mention is pretty spot on, both bad and good. |

Stupid that Alison Sweeney(ex-Sami, DAYS) wasn't picked as Best Actress or other top performer. Also where was Finola Hughes(Anna, GH)? Agree with the rest of the picks. Agree with the Actor picks, except maybe left Billy Miller for Billy Abbott on Y&R out, since he was only on the show for less than a month this year. Best Supporting Actor----Don't get Chris McKenna(Harding) being in the Other Top Performers. Billy Miller (Jason, GH) should've been in this. I'd also put in Freddie Smith(Sonny, DAYS) in this category. Best Supporting should've had Kelly Thiebaud(ex-Britt, GH) in it, maybe Constance Towers(Helena, GH) as well. I wouldn't have chosen GH for best writing because of the Jason fiasco, one of the dumbest storylines ever on a soap. Jordan's secret on DAYS was NOT the worst storyline, and Rafe & Jordan (DAYS) definitely NOT the worst couple. Maxie & Nathan (GH) definitely NOT the best couple, even though I do like them (I'd like them better if Jen Lilley was still Maxie though). Christopher Sean(Paul, DAYS) is NOT the best New male newcomer, although I do like him. Burgess Jenkins(Billy, Y&R) is NOT the worst recast, in fact, he's not bad at all. I really kind of like him, although I'd kept David Tom in the role. Didn't think Ian Ward on Y&R was the worst villain either. Agreed that Billy Miller(Jason, GH) and Gina Tognoni (Phyllis, Y&R) are the best recasts by vets.

I appreciate the feedback. I know there isn't anything worse than when someone picks a "best of," and you are like, "huh?" :) |

I don't watch the other soaps, but based on all the lists I've read, this hasn't been a good year for creating a "best of" list. |

I don't know how Paige and JJ didn't make Days most boring couple on this list. Casey Moss came on the scene grabbing attention, but as soon as he was paired with 'Beige' as she's now referred, he lost all his exciting edge. They are tediously dull to watch and Days has given too much time to a flat teen romance. While Jordan's story was horribly mismanaged at least Rafe and Jordan had believable moments of romance. Not having a powerhouse story ready to go for Ari Zucker when JS and AS left was a huge misstep on Days part I agree. She's one of their finest actresses and so much better then the material she's given. |

I love Jordan & Rafe together so I definitely disagree that they were the worst couple. I saw other people (with their best & worst lists) mention them. I think they have a ton of chemistry. Jordan and Chad is just odd on the other hand. Even if you don't think they have chemistry, I don't think there is another couple out there worse than JJ and Paige. |
