soaphunks.net's top 10s


Daytime has been celebrating the gorgeousness of its male stars for decades, propelling the pecs of certain hunks into soap superstardom. But there are a few unfortunate cases in which either the producers or--in some cases, the public--just didn't seem to pay enough attention. This Soaphunks.net Top 10 is taking a look back at daytime history to seek out those slices of beefcake that deserve many more second looks than they got. And if this list is your first exposure to these studs, then you're pretty much proving our point! Start the countdown...

Of course all soap hunks shuck their shirts to some degree, but certain guys just take it to a whole new level: shirt-phobia! Let's hear it for the studs who helped (and in some cases, continue to help) keep their soaps' wardrobe budgets down by saving dollars on shirts. More than any other hunks in soap opera history, it was these well-built guys whom the writers found all sorts of ridiculous ways to keep shirtless, and how lucky we are that they did. Behold our list of the 10 most shirt-phobic soap hunks of all time. Our profound thanks to all of them for helping keep soaphunks.net busy--and open for business! Start the countdown...

 

What did these women do to get so lucky? It's one thing to start on a soap and have a hot guy for a love interest, but these gals have scored over and over and over again, constantly turning their characters' love lives (and sometimes their own) into a veritable hunk parade. But which 10 ladies are the luckiest of them all? Start the countdown...

 

It's hard enough to get it right the first time, but the casting directors for these sudsers made lightning strike twice--in some cases even improving upon the original. So many soap recasts go wrong, but in the cases of our Top 10 Best Soap Hunk Recasts, things went oh-so-right! Start the countdown...

Attention soap casting agents: look no further than right here to see the studs you should be bringing to your shows. Whether they were unfairly released from their previous soap or simply are too hunky to be ignored, here's our list of the Top 10 hunks that we want to see back on daytime, and soon! Please note that we purposely stuck to soap hunks that we felt might realistically come back...let's face it, as much as we'd like it, gamefully employed guys like Shemar Moore & Josh Duhamel probably won't be darkening daytime's door anytime soon. But we think these 10 guys would be open to the right offer, and we'll be right there to drool if they do. Please come home, boys! Start the countdown...


What makes a great Latin lover? Well, obviously they have to be of Latin descent (sorry, Antonio Sabato, Jr.). They're generally heroic but always hot-blooded. They can fight for their true love but then also be just as gentle. Not all of the men on our countdown actually played Latin characters, but their heat was just as sizzling. For our inaugural Soaphunks.net Top 10 countdown, we take a look back at the most swarthy, swoonworthy Latin lovers in soap history...you may need to sit down for this one! Start the countdown...
