DC's Top 5 Soap Opera Newcomers of 2012





No. 2: Erik Valdez, General Hospital

Not many newbie actors could pull off portraying the long-lost son of a fashionista's alternate personality. General Hospital newcomer Erik Valdez did his best to accomplish said feat in 2012.

Being saddled with several storylines that absolutely didn't work in 2012 (Mob Princess, Connie/Kate), on an otherwise wonderfully-rejuvenated GH, Valdez still managed to give Trey Mitchell Scully heart and root factor. We just wish TPTB had ditched his relationship with a poorly recast Kristina (Lindsay Morgan) in favor of a triangle with Starr (Kristen Alderson) and Michael (Chad Duell). It just might have made the difference.

Bring back Lindsay as Summer. And put her in short shorts.

Pls don't bring that other chick as Summer back! She was like nails on a chalkboard with her acting. This new actress I like her in the role and like the chemistry with Red (The Staff)...

Robert Adamson who plays Noah I just thought he was a little too old for the role. He can act seeing his work on Lincoln Heights on ABC Family.

Robert Adamson is fucking yummy. And he can really act. Fantastic recast. I agree with many here, RA should definitely be on top...of this list Wink

Overall, great list. Agree with it, except the order.

Can Trey please stay on GH? Critics and fans love him and the character. His story line and romantic pairing were the problem not EV. He just needs a better story is all.

Keep Trey and send Krissy back to school. A Trey/Starr/Michael triangle would have been nice.
