Like with all of our lists, this was a really tough one to compile. But, Soap Opera News sat down and assessed the year in review and we selected the top 10 female performers of the year. We took into consideration; airtime, material, quality of work, fan reaction and more. After carefully assessing and evaluating we came up with the following top 10. Please check it out and let us know who was your favorite.
First, Our 5 Honorary Mentions:
Kassie DePaiva – Eve Donovan, Days of Our Lives
Michelle Stafford – Nina Reeves, General Hospital

And, our top 10
10. Rebecca Herbst – Elizabeth Webber, General Hospital
9. Gina Tognoni – Phyllis Summers, The Young and the Restless
8. Heather Tom – Katie Logan, The Bold and the Beautiful
7. Katherine Kelly Lang – Brooke Forrester, B&B
6. Amelia Heinle – Victoria Newman, Y&R
5. Arianne Zucker/Stacy Haiduk – Nicole Walker/Kristen DiMera, Days of Our Lives
4. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood – Steffy Forrester, B&B
3. Genie Francis – Laura Collins, GH
2. Camila Banus – Gabi Hernandez, DAYS
1. Maura West – Ava Jerome, GH
Is there anything that Maura West can’t do? Absolutely not! This stalwart continues to shine in the genre as she always does since her days as Carly Tenney on As the World Turns. It’s no wonder why she already has 3 Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a drama series. In 2019, her character Ava Jerome mainly death with the aftermath of her daughter’s death and the fallout within the Ryan/Kevin storyline. West was even awarded the performer of the week for Soap Opera News several times this year. It was another year of Gold performances and we’re pretty sure she will be nominated again and quite possibly take home another Daytime Emmy Award. What do you think?
