I have been watching soaps for oh 25 years or so, and I hate when certain stars get pushed to the back burner for newer faces unknown to the show, (are you listening Bob Guza). I am thrilled that OLTL, and Y&R have the new cast members interact with the veteran cast, and while I can't seem to stand GH sometimes, I do love that Alexis, Mac, and Edward have been on more, and will be again in this Carnival storyline. Who do you think needs more airtime?

Elizabeth Hubbard, who is the closest actress we have to Beverlee McKinsey on a soap right now. She deserves to be front burner, at all times.
I've been really impressed with Doug Davidson lately, and I hope that he stay front burner for a while.
And Nancy Lee Grahn, who I think should just leave G&H and join Y&R as either the new Diane Jenkins or better yet, as Katherine's REAL daughter! I'd give anything to see NLG throw down with Jess Walton.
I agree Nancy Grahn needs more screen-time. I would also mention Rebecca Herbst who i am tired of seeing play second or third (sometimes fourth) fiddle to Carly, Robin, Claudia and Maxie. and i'd like to see her interact more with characters that are not Jason and Sam. and of course my #1 choice is Jackie Zeman, what they've done to her at GH is CRIMINAL. I would also say Leslie Charleson is being totally underutilized.
At OLTL i think they have a pretty good balance of veteran vs. new characters, but would always welcome more Nora storylines.
At AMC it's clear that anybody not named Kendall, Zack, Ryan or Annie needs more airtime.
Praying The Daytime Emmys air on TV in 2010!

Seriously, I only follow B&B thru spoilers now, and if there are nice clips on youtube. Ridge and Brooke getting their marriage license was probably one of the cutest things, and the audience was spared from one of their weddings.
It's funny to me that OLTL's Fish is recurring but has been on almost every day for a few weeks but Kyle is on contract and has been on for about a minute lately. I'd love to see Kyle and Kim get buddied up somehow.
On DAYS, Abe and Lexie do definitely need more screentime and stronger story. As does Marlena! We haven't had a Doug and Julie sighting in a while either. Maybe we'll see them when they bring the twins back from Europe.
I guess Y&R does a good job of rotating characters, because at the moment I can mostly only think of people I'd like to have less airtime. I could stand a little more Heather and Rafe, actually.
Agree about Nuke. And tho CZP's airtime has increased of late, I want to see her in a real, romantic storyline. Of course, I agree about Hubbard and really all of the vets on ATWT. Of course, the biggest crime is the waste of Lesli Kay on B&B.
