Villains.
Just one of the many soap-opera staples. Some are so
evil... so psychotic, they made our blood boil and we're thrilled when they get
their come-uppance (Eleanor Norris, Santa
Barbara). Others have mellowed somewhat over the years but haven't lost
their bite (Palmer Cortlandt, All
my Children). Others are just getting their feet wet (Dakota Smith, Ryan's
Hope). But, whether they're slightly terrible or worse than awful, one
thing's for sure : the soaps wouldn't be half as fun without them. Just who are
the most villainous villains on the soaps today ? We've profiled the best of the
worst.
