Daytime Confidential Top 20, June 2009



No. 1: Crystal Chappell - Guiding Light

After being dethroned by All My Children's David Canary in May Crystal Chappell returns to the No. 1 spot on the Daytime Confidential Top 20 in June. Chappell joins Alicia Minshew and Victoria Rowell as only the third star to appear at No. 1 for more than one month. She is the first Guiding Light star to do so.

 

Daytime Confidential Top 50

Y&R's Thom Bierdz just missed out on the Daytime Confidential Top 20, coming in at No. 21. Brett Claywell–the other half of OLTL's Kish–landed at No. 25. Alison Sweeney appears at No. 32. Former No. 1 David Canary fell from No. 1 to No. 34. Ashley Jones was B&Bs highest ranked star at No. 36. Shemar Moore earned No. 39. Elizabeth Hendrickson earned No. 45 while Deidre Hall rounded out the list at No. 50.

The Daytime Confidential Top 20 is published each month based on the interests of Daytime Confidential readers. Each actor's ranking is based on the total number of unique visits to their news page. A link to each actor's news page usually appears as a tag in content published about that actor.

Crystal Chappell is amazing. The fact that I am still watching GL after they have managed to ruin just about everything recently, and how infuriated I have been with the recent Otalia developments, is all down to Crystal. She's a real gem.

I also love Jessica Leccia and miss her terribly. I think she's done a great job with the idiotic and insulting mess she's been forced to deliver recently. The actors are the only thing saving GL for me right now.

I'm saddened that Liz Hendrickson isn't on the list. Big fan of hers. EDIT Just saw she's in the top 50. Still, let's get her up that list. Smile

JESSICA LECCIA!!! Yay!!! I loooove her. She's been brilliant as usual, even despite the pregnancy crapola the writers have come up with. She can break my heart with one expression of her face and that wonderful nuanced, layered acting she's gotten so good at. Here's hoping she's get back on the top 3 next month and why not number 1 with her co-star CC??!! We miss you JL/Natalia!!! Come back soon..it's too sad to watch GL and Otalia without her!!!
Congrats again Jessie!!! Smile

Crystal Chappell is by far, the best actress on daytime drama. I was never an avid fan of any of the shows in the past because the majority of the performances were mediocre, at best. I believe CC to be a cut above the rest. Her ability to bring a character to life is outstanding. I don't believe there is a scene or role she couldn't play and totally sell it to the audience. She also isn't afraid to stand up and play a gay character with no reservations. Well done!

Congratulations to Crystal and Jessica for coming in at #1 and #2!!!

Crystal has been knocking it out of the park as always while dealing with some difficult emotions for Olivia as she struggles to deal with Natalia's unexplained absense.. Crystal's talent is unsurpassed!

and Jessica was playing the love and fear Natalia was going through with a beautifully layered performance!

Good for Crystal. She is totally deserving but hope she knows that this honor is built on a lot of tears. Most of them...mine...she is putting a lot of hearts through the wringer for the last several weeks! She is amazing! Can't say enough. Thanks DC.

Nice to have Crystal Chappell at #1 again. This veteran actress richly deserves the interest in her.

Her co-star Jessica Leccia at #4 too.

Shout out to underdog DOOL #11 Arianne Zucker! I like the way they are complicating Nicole and Sami's relationship with Nicole softening and letting Sami see her son. It will make the big reveal even more of a betrayal! Maybe when it hits the fan we might see both DOOL actress in the top 20.

Congratulations, Crystal. You are the best actress in daytime hands down. I don't know how you deliver amazing performances day in and day out. We are definitely blessed by watching you work.

How can "whoever" is in charge at GH not see that Jason & Elizabeth need to be together?

I adore the Otalia storyline and I am very proud of both our girls! They have both been awesome in this storyline and they both have very bright futures ahead of them. The way they reach out to their fans is totally amazing to me.

Crystal Chappell is amazing, her work this last month, will cement her as one of the all time greatest actresses on daytime TV. And on top of all this she adores her fans and unlike most stars is very giving of her personal time to interact with them. CC/Stan is a GODDESS!!!

Rock on Jess and Crystal. Nice to see JL get some more recognition, she's way too often over looked.

Yea, CC. You are the best, about time people are noticing she is the best actress on daytime. Smart move by DOOL to sign her up.

I agree with all those who stated that CC is one of the main reasons they still tune in to a show that has gone from fantastic to ridiculous within weeks. She and GL's other excellent actors are the only thing that keeps me watching.

Congratulations to Maura West! Even though I've watched her act in MUCH better storylines than her latest one, I am still so happy that she is getting the attention she deserves. Whether fans and/or critics like her character or not, I don't think I've ever heard anyone disagree with the fact that she is one of the powerhouse actresses of daytime soaps in the past decade or so.

Also, hurray for Crystal Chappell! I think her acting in the past month alone (even though she has always been great) has made her shine like crazy. I'm proud to be able to call myself a fan of hers.

I bet the Y&R team will have some heavy hitters for July. I am thinking Tricia Cast here. If you count the number of comments she has garnered for her portrayal of Nina, she has to be up there! Y&R should offer her a contract and cut their loses on a few less worthy cast members!

Congratulations to Crystal...she more than deserves to be on top of this list again....she is simply sublime. The gamut of emotions that Crystal can go through within a scene is astounding. She deserves to be No. 1 again for next month with all her recent performances. I'm also delighted to see Jessica on the list...can't wait until she is back on screen and that we get some Otalia loving Smile)
