This man may have a column but very few put any weight into what this simpering, crybaby and mostly fawning fangurl has to say. He very much is biased and pimps who HE loves. Then crucifies who he doesn't. MS up at 17 is a gross over rate imho. While Tracey Bregman, Sharon Case, Kimberlin Brown were left off. These women carried YR before MS ever set her over blown scenery chewing on to the set. It's clear this is bias, and who you know and who you rub elbows with. There were many great actresses left off that list. Claire Labine, writes and never watched. Yet she can say who's one of the best? This whole list should be redone and get some credible judges.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09720498996945911302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-35347238421503871392010-02-10T17:07:43.597-05:002010-02-10T17:07:43.597-05:00Nelson Branco shouldn't be allowed to judge a ...Nelson Branco shouldn't be allowed to judge a dog competition let alone anything related to soaps. What has this guy done except a very biased column that allows him to fawn like a girl over his crushes? The fact that he was a judge negates any credibility this might have had. Many greats were left off, and many over rated one's put on. I guess it's all about who you know and how popular. Sharon Case should have been on that list. Seriously 15 years frontburner on YR, the woman carries her weight and yet she continuously gets snubbed. Kimberlin Brown isn't on the list? Tracy Bregman? Beth Maitland, and VR should have been above MS.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09720498996945911302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-45519099009333681642010-02-09T21:50:21.419-05:002010-02-09T21:50:21.419-05:00overall you guys put together a wonderful list.

Not to say that it surprises me. :) that's usually how these things go. No offense but Susan Lucci,Jackie Zerman,Susan Seaforth Hayes and Patricia Pease...you can't tell me those weren't based more popularity rather then talent. Martha Bryne, Robin Mattson, Julianna Moore,Meg Ryan and the very so often overlooked Ellen Dolan can act circles around those four.happinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141640591069832123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-13155428559092769572010-02-07T14:30:28.420-05:002010-02-07T14:30:28.420-05:00Where the hell is Tamara Braun?

I know they all can't make it, but this one should be. When will the list be complete? I take serious issue with Nelson Branco being a judge.
