When Lana Turner guest starred on Falcon Crest it brought golden age Hollywood glamour to the night time soaps and that began the introduction of big name guest stars on the nighttime soaps as well. That was a classy introduction for Jacqueline Perrault to arrive in a limousine and step out in a fur coat to greet her family.
One of the most memorable quotes I recall from Dynasty was Alexis (Joan Collins) referring to Dominique Deveraux as 'the ex saloon bar singer that never was'. Priceless!
Yes indeed. Her line about the burned champagne was the most celebrated that over the years I forgot about the line “I don’t sleep in my clothes nor do I sleep with them. I require one bedroom for my wardrobe and one for myself.” Brought back the same feeling the first time I heard it. Supreme Diva.
The Most ICONIC Shade Throwing Line In Primetime Soap Opera History In My Opinion!!! #Dynasty #DiahannCarroll #DominqueDeveraux 👑👸🏾🍾🥂🔥🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥💎💍⭐⭐⭐🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Absolutely!!! That was a great way to introduce her character, and with an awesome line, “I don’t sleep in my clothes nor with them......” she was great on the show! Although her exit was extremely disappointing
What's so great about these series looking back, is that they have a real feel of the old time movie melodramas. It was a perfect vehicle for all the movie stars of the golden age to appear in. Most shows from the 80s I find gaudy, but these soaps seem timeless.
Thanks for the flashback to some great series and characters. I have to say my three favourite Alexis, Dominique and Sable. I forgot Tina Louise was on Dallas. Lana Turner, Ava Gardner and Jane Wyman...Wow!!! Loved all of these shows
Agree with you Jason! I wish she had appeared in more eppis! Happy New Year and thanks for watching my channel! Love the puppy! Toni from supersoaps.org
That’s the studio training... people forget Joan Collins was also apart of the studio system for a while. The movie stars just have it. I only wished somebody could have gotten Garbo to turn up just once more on the screen. It would have been almost like norma Desmond 😂
From this selection of Introducing i prefare the First Scenes of Morgan Fairchild as Jordan Jennifer Roberts over Diahann Carroll as Dominique Deveraux and Julie Harris as Lilimae Clements, but at the End Joan Collins as Alexis is also Amazing. The Best Entire Episode Introducing is from Lana Turner as Jacqueline Perrault, unsurpassed.
Jason's introduction on Dynasty should have been included------where we hear his voice over and then pan to the Malibu Beach house.....and in turn calls Blake with the pipeline deal------Charlton Heston's presence was captivating from the moment we see him.
Loved all the intros. Loved Lady Montfort and Alexis Carrington! My favorite, though not quite an intro, is Richard Channing meeting Angela for the first time.
Lady Mountford, what a character. So duplicitous and one of the most vicious villians ever to grace the screens! Great actress, you totally believe in her.
What fun seeing all these great videos again. Those were good days for the tv audiences for sure. Out of all the pretty people appearing on these shows, I will always feel that Donna Mills and Linda Evans were the prettiest.
vistaprime, easy answer: Abby came in all (fake) smiles and pretending to be a good sister, while Dominique did all the opposite: all piss´d off about everything and being rude to the poor hotel clerk. She´s lucky to be in this list! Lol! Now seriously, Dom´s entrance was very clichéd and she didn´t really deliver as a character, who was very endearing but also wishy-washy. Anyway, all ten were delightful to watch and deserved Top place!
supersoaps Dominique was such a disappointment: she was announced as a bitch but then begged to be accepted by the Carringtons, which is not fierce at all. She went to visit Alexis to threaten her for no reason and then went away. Then she hung around between 2 lovers, a stupid daughter and La Mirage where she sang boring songs. It was like they thought “yes, let’s bring her in” and then never knew what to do with it.
@@supersoaps and yet besides Jessie ...Alexis Carrington and Dominique were the two most worthy of this list. They were the 3 Most people were wowed by. Obviously you thought a lot of her to have her up so High on the list.
I think Heather Locklear should have been on this list or at least at number 10. Her character Sammy Jo, made a pretty bold, wacky, funny and just as memorable entrance when she first appeared on Dynasty. Sorry, Morgan Fairchild was not interesting, was a forgotten character on Falcon Creast, storyline was stupid as hell. Surprise you didn't have Kim Novak on this list, she was somewhat more interesting, mysterious when she appeared on Falcon Crest for one season.
Great compilation. One quibble: Alexis Smith got her Emmy Nomination for Cheers in 1990. You misread Cheers premiere year (1982) for the year she was nominated.
Jay, thanks a lot for correcting that, I included the right info in the comments. I just uploaded another Knots Landing video, don´t miss it! Toni from www.supersoaps.org
Loved me some Stephanie Beacham back in the day. Sable was the only reason I watched "The Colby's." Oh, and the first season when Barbara Stanwyck was on it.
I think the same thing, but Dynasty´s Sable was even better. She wasn´t dependent from any man and wanted to make big business and have fun above all! Loved her...
Full deserved 1st place for Alexis' entry on Dynasty... just epic. Would've loved it, when you had shown the scene when Alexis walked into the courtroom, even it was played by an extra back then
Park Hurst, I´m glad you agree with me. The scene of the cliffhanger itself with the extra walking in can be seen in the most watched cliffhangers video here: ruclips.net/video/IbUIKDmHkIY/видео.html (go to 5'02''). Thanks for watching!
Some of my favorites not on this list: Celeste Holm, Morgan Fairchild, Kim Novak, Leslie Caron, Robert Stack, and Eve Arden on Falcon Crest, Betsy Palmer, Ruth Roman, and Howard Duff on KL, Priscilla Presley, John McIntire, and Kate Mulgrew on Dallas and finally, James Farentino, George Hamilton, and Deborah Adair on Dynasty.
This was a lot of fun. Although, I really only watched “dynasty“ and a little bit of “Dallas“ when it first came on. Of course, I was a preteen then but my mom and her best friend used to watch it. Brings back a lot of memories. Thank you for the ride.
I never missed Dynasty or Dallas or Knotts Landing. Before we got a VCR I would make sure I was in front of the TV.Glued to the stories. The glamours houses and clothes. Now it doesn't pull me in as before. I care more about the insides of myself and others. Times have changed since the 80s.
Totally agree with number one . When she lifted the veil and I saw it was Joan I knew it was going to be good . Her portrayal of Alexis made Dynasty a number one show . Thank goodness Donna Mills arrived in Knots Landing …the cul de sac was very dull when she wasn’t there. I would have included Gina Lolabrigidas arrival on Falcon Crest too . 😎😎😎
So much History with so many of these Actors. Morgan Fairchild got her first big Break on The Soap Opera Search For Tomorrow which was many owned by Proctor & Gamble. She also did A Perfect Ending a Soulkiss Production that specializes in making LGBT Movies. Larry Hagman was on it's Sister Show Edge Of Night before doing I Dream Of Jeannie . He also did The Group which was based on the Novel by Mary McCarthy whom many folks felt kicked the door open for The Chick Lit Movement that began in 1948 Lana Turner's Daughter went on trial for murdering Johnny Stompanato and the Court Transcript Writer was none other than Future Superstar Record Producer Phil Spector. It was later discovered that Cheryl (Lana's Daughter) didn't' do it, she just said she did to protect her Mother Joan Collins trained at RADA (Royal Academy Of Dramatic Arts) which is Britian's top Acting Academy whose alumni have been Ralph Fiennes (that Lupita N'Yongo worked for as a PA). She also worked in England on Footballer's Wives that some folks feel was the inspiration for the Real iLife Housewife Franchise. Another RADA graduate was Sharon Maughan who you may remember as The Lady in the Nescafe Taster's Choice Commercial. Ken Olin played Michael Steadman on Thirtysomething whose Friend Nancy was his Real Life Wife Patricia Wettig, Donna Mills guest starred on General Hospital. I told UK Soap Fans that Megan Markle was on the show and they were stunned. Stephanie Beecham acted on Britian's Longest Soap Opera Coronation Street. She also played Phylida Oswin aka "Phyl" on Footballer's Wives Sister Show Bad Girl who along with her Partner Beverly "Bev" Tull, were part of a Ponzi Scheme. Michael Praed (Ex Prince Michael) acted on another UK Soap Opera Emmerdale whose Girlfriend Charity Dingle dumped him for his own Daughter Vanessa.
Look how J.R. smirks and looks at Sue Ellen when Jessie says she thought Clayton would marry someone half his age since Clayton planned on proposing to Sue Ellen just a few years prior
My personal favorites are Donna Mills.Great addition to Knots Landing. Also Lisa Hartman, she is such a cutie. I had a big crush on her the entire time Lisa was on the show.With both Lisa Hartman and Donna Mills on the show,I became hooked on Knots Landing.Two very sexy ladies.
@lana lake I love Donna Mills in play Misty for me. She was great. Can't wait to see that movie again. This was the early Fatal Attraction before 1987.
Doms, actually Gina is present in a couple of videos already: best FC quotes and best FC episodes. Her arrival was indeed one of the funniest! Thanks for your feedback! Toni from supersoaps.org
Yes I must agree Sabe colby and Dominique deveraux we're two of the greatest but I also like Lana Turner appearance on falcon Crest it was great to see her and Jane Wyman battle it out
As I said below, my problem with her was her aloof attitude, especially since Dom was no real b. She should have smiled and that´s why Donna Mills reached the top! Thanks for watching! Toni
@@supersoaps And that's dumb reasoning!!!! Diane Carroll's role as Dominique D. was meant for her to have an "aloof attitude" and be a bitch. A supreme bitch!! You are not going to get many smiles from a role meant to be bitch. This countdown is about the Top 10 Entrances, not about who was the nicest in their entrance. Dominique D's entrance was the best and should have been number 1. Plus, it's memorable.
@@8thwonder0608 No more negativity or prepotence, I made this countdown and I don´t consider it a "parade of bitches". Maybe YOU should smile more often...
Great list. Alexis is the obvious first choice because the stage was set for a complete overhaul of not only DYNASTY, but also the prime time soap genre. Technically, we are first introduced to her at the end of the first season when she makes that startling appearance in the very last scene, but perhaps we can look the other way on that because it wasn't even Joan Collins who "introduced" Alexis upon her first appearance (the mystery woman hidden by a big-rimmed hat and sunglasses played by producer friend Maggie Wickman - and ostensibly named Madeline in the early stages of the character's planning). It would be when the newly named Alexis removed those Jackie O glasses and stated her name in full to the court that the world would truly be introduced to a character that would change television forever. Dominique Deveraux's first appearance will always carry its own iconography, on the merit of its own meta-element; for weeks, the PR machine was in full motion, promoting Diahann Carroll's return to TV as an inspired bit of casting that promised to break down racial/social/class barriers, previewing her mystery character as not just TV's first glamourous black woman, but even more deliciously, TV's first black BITCH. By that time, the word BITCH took on a whole new meaning as a new badge of honor for a strong, independent woman. There was alot of anticipation and excitement generated in time for Carroll's first onscreen appearance, so when we finally see Dominique literally swoop into the midst of our TV world out of nowhere like some exotic bird of vengeance, marching into La Mirage with her endless army of luggage (her movements tracked through inspired camera work), fiction and reality became blurred for one brief moment in a kind of out-of-body meta moment for TV: this wasn't just a new character, it was the breaking of TABOO. The dialogue may seem silly now, but at that time in TV history, it was important to see this woman demand a separate room for her luggage, dammit! You go, girl! My personal favorite will always be Lana Turner's first scene on Falcon Crest ... the chic, cosmopolitan jet-setting Jacqueline arriving without fanfare in the midst of everyday simplicity in Gioberti domesticity. I think I appreciate it the most because soon most all of the prime-time soaps would be plunged in a universe of campy decadence and glamour that would make this simple homefront setting seem passe. Instead of a red carpet treatment more fitting for a Hollywood legend with a gala complete with ball gowns that would make the court of Louis XVI blush, we were introduced to the fabulous and fur-draped Jacqueline Perrault as if she were our own grandmother popping in for a visit; instead of a designer outfit, Maggie is caught in her housecoat and hair rollers. Nice twist on convention by the writers. Likewise, Ruth Galveston's arrival on Knots Landing was given even less fanfare, because no one was there to welcome her as she sneaked in through the backdoor, so to speak, to avoid detection, moving under the radar like a skilled predator, trespassing, transgressing, transpiring out of nowhere. A thief in the night. It was very well done ... quiet, stealthy, cat-like, slinking into the scene incognito, generating a vague threat of some kind ... framed by a darkened silhouette, Ava Gardner-with-the-cat-eyes steps out from the shadows, and then slowly but surely stretches out her tentacles from her spider web of perverse maternal command over all the characters she wrapped herself up in. Gardner was simply brilliant in the role, and Ruth's presence proved memorable. It's a shame she never returned after her very short - and fun - visit. I love Alexis Smith's run as Lady Jessica on DALLAS ... like Ruth Galveston and Jacqueline Perrault, she was given little red carpet treatment, but that was just the more effective in deepening our interest in a character that carried a tension thick enough to choke a bull. There was an ominous build-up to her character's arrival, hinting at some dark family secret that involved Clayton and his sister that was ready to explode just in time for his wedding to Ellie. Unfortunately, the writers took the easy way out and made Jessica a certified psycho. I always questioned that plot twist. Smith had such wonderful chemistry with Hagman (J.R. always dallied with younger women, how interesting an illicit union with an older woman would have been to watch), not to mention with Bel Geddes, who never really had a female foil all those years on the show (producers really failed to flesh out Ellie's complicated history with Pam's mother Rebecca Wentworth). And imagine the trouble she could have caused for Sue Ellen, her secret son Dusty ... instead of writing her into a corner as a psycho, I would have written Jessica as a more passive-aggressive villainess, just to keep Alexis Smith available at all cost as a recurring treat for viewers in several story arcs through the years, dropping in for visits to stir up trouble for her brother and his new family. You actually left out the first - most important - part of Abby's arrival in Knots Landing ... as she drove into the cul-de-sac in her now-uncharacteristic station wagon, we were first given the viewpoint of the unseen driver looking through the windshield as it turned into the street and drove towards Karen and Sid's house. The effect was subtle, subliminal and unmistakable ... all it needed was the JAWS theme. Just when you thought it was safe to go out and mow your lawn, a predator lurks among the suburban idyll ... a shark had been let loose out of the Californian waters ... a little ominous foreshadowing, right before sunny, beaming California girl Abby pops out of the mystery car. A little less melodramatic than Alexis' arrival, but just as effective - and just as important as a turning point in the evolution of the prime time soap.
Maxi, this is NOT a tribute to Dallas, but to the introduction scenes in the major primetime soaps. If the top choice (always the last) belongs to Dynasty, then its theme should be here at the end. It´s all for fun anyway, enjoy the videos"
I have no idea Alexis Smith was so high on this list!! That season of Dallas wasn't the best, Plus her character was so badly acted. Her being on this list is a complete shocker
This is more a top 10 celebrities or introduction of iconic characters on soaps. Nothing spectacular about the debuts themselves other than Dominique on Dynasty.
While I agree with 1st place (Joan Collins appearing in season 2 of Dynasty), I think this list is VERY odd. How is Julie Harris (Lilliemae on Knots) given only an "honorable mention" and Christopher Atkins manages to get 9th place? Likewise, how did Morgan Fairchild appearing as a very minor character on Falcon's Crest make this list? What exactly were the criteria? Why does Larry Hagman playing the original character of JR make the list but NONE of the other original Dallas characters (Barbara Bel Geddes; Victoria Principal; etc.) don't even get an "honorable mention? Also strange is that the late addition of Nicolette Sheridan as Paige on Knots Landing and Ana Alicia as Melissa Agretti on Falcon Crest are wholly ignored. While all rankings are subjective, the strange choices in this one really undercut its credibility.
Eugene, thanks for your feedback. Not everybody can like the videos but I just hope they do. The choices have nothing to do with the characters´ relevance: the arrival scenes within the context are what matter here. As much as I love Pam or Melissa, their introductions are not especially interesting or glamorous IMO. Besides, some of them have been included in other videos. It´s a matter of balance. I hope you enjoy the next videos! Toni from supersoaps.org
Abby was the first and, in my opinion, the best Prime Time Soap Opera villainess. Alexis was pure evil in Season 2 of Dynasty. Starting with Season 4, Alexis was a cartoon like Cruella Da Ville.
Lol, I'm like Domonique, I require one bedroom for myself and another bedroom for my wardrobe. She made that IKEA Pax system famous before it was invented!
It was a terrible storyline. They looked awkward together, zero chemistry. Atkins was cute in a boy band/little girls first crush way. There is no way a grown woman like Suellen would go for that.

Yes indeed. Her line about the burned champagne was the most celebrated that over the years I forgot about the line “I don’t sleep in my clothes nor do I sleep with them. I require one bedroom for my wardrobe and one for myself.” Brought back the same feeling the first time I heard it. Supreme Diva.

Morgan Fairchild's voice is amazing!
Oh how I wish the magnificent Joan Crawford could have lived to be on an 80's soap!
Joan had to be number 1. She blew in like a hurricane
When Diahann Carroll arrived to Dynasty we were fascinated about her glamour, elegance, and splendor!!!!
And probably the first time in television history to see a black woman powerful and in charge.
@@thangvuong9196 you are so correct June 12,2020

I love the glamour the 80s had. I honestly think we haven’t had glamour since then.

Did Alexis just commit perjury? She informed the court (under oath) she had 2 beautiful children.
Jordan Roberts I thought it was Nora Tyler Bing!!! Sorry could resist a friends reference
Jajaja jajaja geniallll..las recuerdo de niño en mi paisssss
Great list. Alexis is the obvious first choice because the stage was set for a complete overhaul of not only DYNASTY, but also the prime time soap genre. Technically, we are first introduced to her at the end of the first season when she makes that startling appearance in the very last scene, but perhaps we can look the other way on that because it wasn't even Joan Collins who "introduced" Alexis upon her first appearance (the mystery woman hidden by a big-rimmed hat and sunglasses played by producer friend Maggie Wickman - and ostensibly named Madeline in the early stages of the character's planning). It would be when the newly named Alexis removed those Jackie O glasses and stated her name in full to the court that the world would truly be introduced to a character that would change television forever.
Dominique Deveraux's first appearance will always carry its own iconography, on the merit of its own meta-element; for weeks, the PR machine was in full motion, promoting Diahann Carroll's return to TV as an inspired bit of casting that promised to break down racial/social/class barriers, previewing her mystery character as not just TV's first glamourous black woman, but even more deliciously, TV's first black BITCH. By that time, the word BITCH took on a whole new meaning as a new badge of honor for a strong, independent woman. There was alot of anticipation and excitement generated in time for Carroll's first onscreen appearance, so when we finally see Dominique literally swoop into the midst of our TV world out of nowhere like some exotic bird of vengeance, marching into La Mirage with her endless army of luggage (her movements tracked through inspired camera work), fiction and reality became blurred for one brief moment in a kind of out-of-body meta moment for TV: this wasn't just a new character, it was the breaking of TABOO. The dialogue may seem silly now, but at that time in TV history, it was important to see this woman demand a separate room for her luggage, dammit! You go, girl!
My personal favorite will always be Lana Turner's first scene on Falcon Crest ... the chic, cosmopolitan jet-setting Jacqueline arriving without fanfare in the midst of everyday simplicity in Gioberti domesticity. I think I appreciate it the most because soon most all of the prime-time soaps would be plunged in a universe of campy decadence and glamour that would make this simple homefront setting seem passe. Instead of a red carpet treatment more fitting for a Hollywood legend with a gala complete with ball gowns that would make the court of Louis XVI blush, we were introduced to the fabulous and fur-draped Jacqueline Perrault as if she were our own grandmother popping in for a visit; instead of a designer outfit, Maggie is caught in her housecoat and hair rollers. Nice twist on convention by the writers.
Likewise, Ruth Galveston's arrival on Knots Landing was given even less fanfare, because no one was there to welcome her as she sneaked in through the backdoor, so to speak, to avoid detection, moving under the radar like a skilled predator, trespassing, transgressing, transpiring out of nowhere. A thief in the night. It was very well done ... quiet, stealthy, cat-like, slinking into the scene incognito, generating a vague threat of some kind ... framed by a darkened silhouette, Ava Gardner-with-the-cat-eyes steps out from the shadows, and then slowly but surely stretches out her tentacles from her spider web of perverse maternal command over all the characters she wrapped herself up in. Gardner was simply brilliant in the role, and Ruth's presence proved memorable. It's a shame she never returned after her very short - and fun - visit.
I love Alexis Smith's run as Lady Jessica on DALLAS ... like Ruth Galveston and Jacqueline Perrault, she was given little red carpet treatment, but that was just the more effective in deepening our interest in a character that carried a tension thick enough to choke a bull. There was an ominous build-up to her character's arrival, hinting at some dark family secret that involved Clayton and his sister that was ready to explode just in time for his wedding to Ellie. Unfortunately, the writers took the easy way out and made Jessica a certified psycho. I always questioned that plot twist. Smith had such wonderful chemistry with Hagman (J.R. always dallied with younger women, how interesting an illicit union with an older woman would have been to watch), not to mention with Bel Geddes, who never really had a female foil all those years on the show (producers really failed to flesh out Ellie's complicated history with Pam's mother Rebecca Wentworth). And imagine the trouble she could have caused for Sue Ellen, her secret son Dusty ... instead of writing her into a corner as a psycho, I would have written Jessica as a more passive-aggressive villainess, just to keep Alexis Smith available at all cost as a recurring treat for viewers in several story arcs through the years, dropping in for visits to stir up trouble for her brother and his new family.
You actually left out the first - most important - part of Abby's arrival in Knots Landing ... as she drove into the cul-de-sac in her now-uncharacteristic station wagon, we were first given the viewpoint of the unseen driver looking through the windshield as it turned into the street and drove towards Karen and Sid's house. The effect was subtle, subliminal and unmistakable ... all it needed was the JAWS theme. Just when you thought it was safe to go out and mow your lawn, a predator lurks among the suburban idyll ... a shark had been let loose out of the Californian waters ... a little ominous foreshadowing, right before sunny, beaming California girl Abby pops out of the mystery car. A little less melodramatic than Alexis' arrival, but just as effective - and just as important as a turning point in the evolution of the prime time soap.
Oh I miss the past.
Dominique Dvereaux should've being numbre 1 !!
The amazing series
The ending to this is strange having the dynasty theme over a tribute to south fork and Dallas?
Maxi, this is NOT a tribute to Dallas, but to the introduction scenes in the major primetime soaps. If the top choice (always the last) belongs to Dynasty, then its theme should be here at the end. It´s all for fun anyway, enjoy the videos"
They should have included Sheila Foley on Dallas.
Joan ❤👑💥
Jr Ewing was introduced in 1978.
MEH. I would trade all ten just for a couple glimpses of Lorenzo Lamas in a speedo.
@lana lake I think his mother also been married many times.It is sad though to be constantly getting married then divorced.
or Maxwell Caulfield at the Colbys' pool
Love Donna but no one should have best Stephanie
Aren't fur coats glamorous? When Dihann Carroll sashays across the floor...whoosh! Mesmerizing!!🤩
I have no idea Alexis Smith was so high on this list!! That season of Dallas wasn't the best, Plus her character was so badly acted. Her being on this list is a complete shocker
Matter of opinion I guess. Thanks for watching
Peter!! 😍
Donna Mills resembles Elizabeth Montgomery a little
I miss The Royals. I thought it was a pretty good SOAP for the modern era. Then they had to cancel it on a cliffhanger! Ugh!
This is more a top 10 celebrities or introduction of iconic characters on soaps. Nothing spectacular about the debuts themselves other than Dominique on Dynasty.
I love you Stephanie
Dihann Carolll's was the best.
While I agree with 1st place (Joan Collins appearing in season 2 of Dynasty), I think this list is VERY odd. How is Julie Harris (Lilliemae on Knots) given only an "honorable mention" and Christopher Atkins manages to get 9th place? Likewise, how did Morgan Fairchild appearing as a very minor character on Falcon's Crest make this list? What exactly were the criteria? Why does Larry Hagman playing the original character of JR make the list but NONE of the other original Dallas characters (Barbara Bel Geddes; Victoria Principal; etc.) don't even get an "honorable mention? Also strange is that the late addition of Nicolette Sheridan as Paige on Knots Landing and Ana Alicia as Melissa Agretti on Falcon Crest are wholly ignored. While all rankings are subjective, the strange choices in this one really undercut its credibility.
Eugene, thanks for your feedback. Not everybody can like the videos but I just hope they do. The choices have nothing to do with the characters´ relevance: the arrival scenes within the context are what matter here. As much as I love Pam or Melissa, their introductions are not especially interesting or glamorous IMO. Besides, some of them have been included in other videos. It´s a matter of balance. I hope you enjoy the next videos! Toni from supersoaps.org
Lana Turner creo que es la rubiaaaaa
Gilliand’s Island???
Gilligan's sorry
Abby was the first and, in my opinion, the best Prime Time Soap Opera villainess. Alexis was pure evil in Season 2 of Dynasty. Starting with Season 4, Alexis was a cartoon like Cruella Da Ville.
Definitely alexisi
MORGAN Fairchild was better a as Jenna Wade on Dallas
Nope she’s best as Chandler’s mom!
Had Abby been recast Morgan Fairchild could have done it
Would have liked to see Heather Locklear.
She killed spin city!!!
Spin City had 3 last Seasons with Heather, and cast changes to go with it. So I don't see how she killed it. IMHO. But she was great as Sammy Jo
Lana Turner was the best
Lana turner is beautiful
Lol, I'm like Domonique, I require one bedroom for myself and another bedroom for my wardrobe. She made that IKEA Pax system famous before it was invented!
Unless he was in the circus (preferably Cirque DuSoleil), there's no way I could be with a guy whom I first spot jumping on a trampoline.
The levels of camp
cant take this list serious with Dominque only at#4
Dominique. Always
Peter Richards? Really? Was it because he was bouncing on a trampoline? I could put a small phone book list of debuts better than that.
Love how Alexis says 2 Beautiful children... I watched the show and counted 4 Children Adam, Fallon, Steven & Amanda...Bad Story line
Peter Richards was an awful character. I think ive read linda grey hated that storyline.
It was a terrible storyline. They looked awkward together, zero chemistry. Atkins was cute in a boy band/little girls first crush way. There is no way a grown woman like Suellen would go for that.
Lame. Do the top 10 with just their intros in the theme. Nobody cares anymore about how they were initially introduced.
Jim Rassinier Speak for yourself. We don’t need you to speak for us. We can do that ourselves. Most of us would disagree with you. Have a nice day!
@@LindaLaurenPsychicMedium You are a classy lady, thanks for your comment! More videos coming soon! Toni from supersoaps.org
Most of the female characters on this list would slap you if you said that to their face 😄
