As the 00’s come to an end and we look forward to the 2010’s Daytime Confidential pauses to look back at the best of the past decade. In the coming days Daytime Confidential readers will be able to vote for their favorite soap actors and characters in a variety of categories.
Voting ends December 24 at midnight and readers' votes in all the categories will be discussed in a “Best of the Decade” podcast to air the week of January 28.
While lead actors and actresses may have all the limelight it wouldn’t be possible without the supporting actors and actresses they share their scenes with. Would As the World Turns’ Katie (Terri Colombino) be as enjoyable without the talented Trent Dawson as Katie’s best friend Henry Coleman? Robin Strasser’s Dorian Lord is at her best when Tuc Watkins returns as David Vickers and brings out her humanity. Jacob Young’s JR Chandler battles his father– All My Children’s silver fox David Canary– Adam Chandler and together they give soap fans one of daytime’s best father/son dynamics.
Open voting has closed.

Van Hansis will win this poll cause of the Nuke factor.
Irizarry and Rikaart are my top choices for supporting actor

I voted VAN HANSIS because he is a wonderful actor and he portrays Luke beautifully. It is not only because the Nuke's factor. It is becuase Van is the best actor with or without Nuke.

I had to go with my boy Vincent Irizarry. I've been a fan of his since his days as Lujack on GL and even though I strongly believe that his role as AMC's Dr. Hayward currently suffers from awful writing, his performance is still spot on. I can't wait to see what Ms. Lorraine does with him.
Isn't Y&R's Doug Davidson more of a leading actor than supporting? He's my personal number one pick to win the next Emmy for Best Actor.

I have chosen Tuc Watkins,from OLTL because he has brought some great comedic light in the past decade. Especially this year alone he given the Buchanan family great comedic timing. He also brings on the drama really well too.
