He sure is and he certainly doesn't look his age (53). I still can't believe he has 7 sons! :OhMy:
(I meant Don Diamont. Is that who you were talking about? Because there's also Doug Davidson, another DD lol)

Drake definitely should have been a part of this. I would understand if ML chose one from each soap but he did have 2 actors from Y&R.

Yes I was talking about Don. 53, wow. He could definitely compete with the 30 and 40 something's on Days for hottest. He keeps his body young too which doesn't hurt.

I think they, overall, were going for one from each soap. Y&R famously being the #1 soap for so long may be why they got two. Love SN (Steve is one of my ultimate favorite DAYS characters), but in terms of longevity Drake would have been a better choice. Though SN's popularity was a completely different world than most, it seems.

They didn't say it was the best soap hunks of all time, they just got people there were available and able to give a fun interview. I wouldn't remove any of these guys for Drake.

I wouldn't have removed any of them either, but they could & should have added Drake to the group. JMO.

Just read it! Fun article!

I'm happy with who they picked, but would have included Drake, too. Maybe Wally.

I think Drake is seen more as a 90s guy.

Yes, but he didn't really hit peak popularity until the early 90's with the affair.

I think PR and SN were bigger in the 80's. Drake became the leading man in the early 90's and carried it through the decade (and longer). But this story was focused on the 80's and on guys who were still in soaps, so it doesn't surprise me that Stephen was chosen.

I'm aware. I didn't say it was an accurate perception. I just think that's how he's seen. The 90s were when he really kind of took over.
