Louise was on Port Charles

Louise was on Port Charles NOT GH... J, you went for the jugular calling out Natalia..... You are going to get the wrath baby..

Nattie was cute enough and I

Nattie was cute enough and I was actually a fan of her and Nikolas, but it is still and sin and a shame before God that she has an Emmy and people like Eileen and Katherine Kelly Lang don't. When did whsipering romantically become and Emmy-worthy acting choice? And why don't all the Days heroines have an Emmy since it is? No one can do the romantic whisper like Dee Hall.

"Oh Roman," whispers Marlena. "Yes, Belle is your baby. And no I am not a filthy slut. Sami's a liar. She was just hungry from all that starving herself! She never saw my legs up over John's shoulders in Victor's office in Titan like he was performing a gynocological exam on me and I don't know why she would say that she did!"

God you ain't lie! Marlena

God you ain't lie! Marlena whispers like no other! You just made me spit out my water with your closing... I would die if Victor said that to Nikki!! DIE! Hogan if ya hearing me PLEASE WRITE THAT IN!! That and bring Louise back to soaps. Her being on PC doesn't count as an ABC soap imo. They can rectify her being on a real soap by placing her on Y&R.

I had forgotten about Louise

I had forgotten about Louise on PC but I swear she filled in for someone on GH when they were ill or had to take an expected absense...I could be wrong but I was thinking it was like a one or two day thing.

Maybe she played Jason when

Maybe she played Jason when Steve was out picking berries?

Knock it off JAMEY! My

Knock it off JAMEY! My screen's starting to think that its raining in here! *LOL* Louise was on AMC and Passions. Not for long though.. Yeah it is a shame where chicks like Nattie get an emmy and the Vail Blooms get emmy noms when Katherine Kelly Lang and Melody Thomas Scott can't get in the door.

She was also on Knots

She was also on Knots Landing with Michael Sabatino. He was a crooked book agent who was trying to get the rights to Val's book, the one she was writing about her life as a Ewing called CAPRICORN CRUDE! Now there's a book I really would have bought from a soap, not this shitrageous mess they are putting out about Jonathan and that baby or Kendall Hart.

1.GH Diane Miller and

1.GH Diane Miller and Alexis Davis-Carolyn Hennesey and Nancy Lee Grahn is at there best when they are screen together. I love it when they are dressing up in the same dress or calling out each other's guys. They are the only reason to watch Gh.

2. DAYS Nicole Walker-When Ari came back, she was snarky and funny all at the same time and made the show watchable for me/ I love her going out it with Sami and Chloe.

3. AMC Adam Chandler-I love it when David Canary say to Jr. about Ava, "All you have to do is give her candy, and she will sleep with you". It was the funniest line I ever heard from him and made watch AMC for me.

4. Passions Timmy and Tabitha-They made the show watchable and it was so funny with the doll and the witch and they will be missed.

5-OLTL's David Vickers-I love Tuc Watkins when he and Viki were living together and when my favorite line to sTarr, " How's my favorite teenage statistic". It was the most funniest thing he said and made the teen pregnancy worth watching.

My most honorable mentions is Days RoboJohn, GH Tracy Q and Maxie Jones, YR Dru Winters, B&B Sally Spectra, OLTL's Roxy.

Where in the world was Tuc

Where in the world was Tuc Watkins OLTL's David Vickers?!?! I'm still rolling from those Free Lindsay T-shirts! That guy is HILARIOUS!! Oh well, it was still a great podcast y'all!

Psst. Melodie, don't tell

Psst. Melodie, don't tell anyone but...I think Tuc is overrated! LOL I tend to roll my eyes everytime his greatness is mentioned. I think he's funny and all, but he's no Justin Deas and I would love it if they learned to balance the buffonery with some good, old-fashioned menace. He could be an awesome snarky villain if they didn't waste his precious time on the show doing tantric yoga with Addie.

Eww. Tantra and Addie do NOT

Eww. Tantra and Addie do NOT belong int he same sentence.

They didn't belong together

They didn't belong together on the same soap opera, but that didn't stop them!

I don't know why, but I love

I don't know why, but I love the crude and unintentional humor Todd Manning and Victor Newman gives me. When Victor told Nikki he wish she was in the drawer in the morgue instead of Sabrina, I was rolling! And just the way he talks sometimes is just funny. And when Todd said "this is the best funeral, I've ever been to" at Nash's funeral...that was just hilarious.

thanks for choosing OLTL's

thanks for choosing OLTL's ROXY, Luke!

i've been loving her teaming up with BO during this REX thing...i think that would be a great way for BO to *become* REX's dad, rather than it be a biological thing...BO could become REX's stepdad!

I don't think Bo should be

I don't think Bo should be Rex's biological father. I think they should show that biology isn't always that important. Just let Bo be a father to Rex and Rex be his "adoptive" son.

also i truly love the

also i truly love the characters of TINA, DAVID VICKERS, ADDIE, CAIN ROGAN, ALEX OLANOV...all are hiLARious!

to be honest, i tune in more for the humor than the drama...i can keep up with the drama by reading spoilers & recaps, but you cant get those drop-dead funny lines any other way than by watching for yourself!

That is so true n69, i love

That is so true n69, i love ur comments on pvp.com. OLTL has some hilarious lines and some good writers for them.

Sorry Jamey, Tuc's David

Sorry Jamey, Tuc's David Vickers would be my #1 choice. He never fails to make me laugh. I think one of my favourite episodes of the year involved David explaining how the Writer's Strike sent him back to Llanview. However, I wouldn't mind if the next time he comes around they gave him some of his edge back. I do miss the edge he used to have. But I agree with you 100% about Eileen Davidson deserving the emmy for her many roles on Days - she was robbed!

I like Tuc, I do. I just

I like Tuc, I do. I just don't think he's God's gift to soap opera. I enjoyed him much more as the menacing and snarky Pierce Dorman on GH. I like funny, bad guys. Characters who do nothing but act silly on soaps bug me. The funny has to drive story for me.

Great idea for a

Great idea for a podcast.
Surprised that no one mentioned Calliope & Eugene Bradford from DAYS, and also crazy Hattie (Andrea Hall) from DAYS.
And then there's Lucy Coe and all her unique schemes.
Lucy & Scotty were magic together when they first hooked up.

I guess you whippersnappers

I guess you whippersnappers are too young to remember or have seen Dorothy Lyman as Opal on “All My Children” in the 80s. She was a hoot and a mess and very popular. She got a solo cover of Soap Opera Digest back when most every cover was given to couples.

I love Jill Larson in the role and wouldn’t trade her for nothing. She is Opal now, but Lyman’s Opal was great. Hers had more edge and bite. Her Opal was opportunistic. She schemed and was no saint. I even recall other soaps adding their own Opal-esque characters at the time.

Speaking of Jill Larson, one of my favorite funny soap characters was her Ursula on OLtL back in the day. She wasn’t on for long, but she made an impression on me. She was paired with Tina, and the two of them were hilarious. I was hoping they would keep her around as Tina’s sidekick, but they made her full-on crazy and had her plant a bomb in a wedding cake, which killed Max’s brother/Gabrielle’s husband.

I haven’t been watching OLtL much lately, so I don’t know how Tina is now, but she was fun way back when. I still remember one time she was pregnant and didn’t know it. She passed out, and when she came to, she said, “Oh, I hope I don’t have some new and trendy disease.”

Finally, Jamey, your Nikki Newman is great, but your Victor sounded a little more like Cartman on this one.

Awesome list/ Episode

Awesome list/ Episode --

Luke the one who told you about Kimberly "Kim" Rhodes being on the Suite life of Zach and Cody was Lisa on DC sometime last year Wink just thought i would mention that because i remembered it lol.

Anyways The suite life of Z&C is over, Kim is 'free' agent from what it seems, Z&C got a spinoff 'the suite life on deck' but Kim and a few others are not in it.

Anyways can't wait until the next episode.

At the moment I heard Luke pronounce the topic at the intro, I screamed aloud in my car VIVIAN!!!!
