Daytime Confidential Hot 100 of 2012




 

Join us in celebrating the 5th Annual Daytime Confidential Hot 100. Throughout 2012, Daytime Confidential has been tracking which daytime professionals our readers have been most interested in, whether positive or negative. Each month we published the Daytime Confidential Top 20 based on your clicks of those individuals. Now we’ve compiled the entire year into the Daytime Confidential Hot 100.

In 2012, 38 made their Daytime Confidential Hot 100 debut or returned to the ranking after falling off the list in 2011. The Bold and the Beautiful’s Susan Flannery made the biggest jump in 2012, zooming up 76 spots. However, without All My Children on the air Thorsten Kaye experienced the biggest drop, plummeting 80 spots. Only two out of the 100 people on the Daytime Confidential Hot 100 maintained the exact same ranking in 2012 that they held in 2011.

Unlike Daytime Confidential’s year end Best and Worst lists, the Daytime Confidential Hot 100 is not chosen or ranked by Daytime Confidential’s editors. It is based solely on user clicks. The name of each current and former soap star that appears on the Daytime Confidential Hot 100 is credited to the show on which they last appeared.

No. 100: Scott Clifton, The Bold and the Beautiful 

No. 99: Finola Hughes, General Hospital 

No. 98: Blake Berris, Days of Our Lives

No. 97: Lauralee Bell, The Young and the Restless  

No. 96: Stuart Damon, General Hospital

I don't really get Farah Fath being in the top 10. Maybe bc of Dirty Soap, but still. She was THAT clickable?

I agree w/Kahil and Goddard being on the list. They have not even had a good storyline since they got together.Just nonesense. .Don't know why they are even on the show.
Like Cane and was ok w/Chloe. Lily don't know why her contract was even renewed.

The list is based on who you, the readers, clicked on most during the year.

Here's hoping Becky Herbst is getting a story real in 2013!

Here's hoping that Jill Farren Phelps will wise up and fire Daniel Goddard and Christel Khalil and put us out of our misery!

This is an interesting list. It does occur to me that it may not accurately reflect viewer interest, as there is no way to compensate for the fact that many older and longtime viewers aren't involved with the online aspects of soap fandom. For this reason, I often take internet polls with a grain of salt, as they are frequently skewed toward the younger and more tech-savvy.

Awesome I'm happy to see Kirsten Storms number one again. She honestly makes Maxie one of the most relate-able characters for me on soaps today. I'm also thrilled to see Becky rank so high even without story lines! Hello Ron and Frank you're doing great with Sam and Maxie, but it's obvious that the fans want more Elizabeth! Make it happen!
