Since Soap Operas have been declined in recent years with the cancellations of GL, ATWT, AMC, and OLTL (the latter was the last soap to taped in NYC). I like to show you my favorite soap opera actors who had style.

1.)Joel Crothers (1941-1985) of Dark Shadows, The Secret Storm, Somerset, The Edge of Night, and Santa Barbera which was his last soap before his untimely death from AIDS/Lymphoma in 1985. He was the same age when Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin died.

2.)Roscoe Born (1950-) known for playing antagoinists on various soaps since the early 1980s. His recent role was on now-defunct One Life To Live. He's also a soap dandy.

3.)Eric Braden (1941-) known simply as Victor Newman on CBS' The Young and The Restless since 1980. He was the same dude who played the evil doctor who had a fight with Eric Roberts in 1990 b-movie The Ambulance.

4.)Bradford Anderson (1979-) known as Damien Spinelli aka The Jackyl on ABC's General Hospital (sadly ABC's last remaing soap) since 2006.

5.)Donald Briscoe (1940-2004) known best on Dark Shadows from 1968-1970 and before that a short stint on NBC's Days of Our Lives in 1966. Ironically, he died on Halloween 2004.
