Top 10 Celebrity Countdown: Soap Opera Studs Edition

Soap Studs: August 2008

by Derek Strobe

I’ve heard it time and time again in Hollywood—‘You’re soap opera sexy.’

OK, so I haven’t heard it, but I’ve heard it said to other people. It’s a way to describe and incredibly handsome man who maybe doesn’t have that quirk or that edge to make it in film. Sounds like an insult to some—to me it sounds just fine. I mean, if you’ve got the looks to make it in a medium that seems almost exclusively focused on pretty people, why fight it.

Which is why we decided to make this month’s count down all about soap hunks. I readily admit—I love my soaps. Even though I only follow one regularly—All My Children, and three of my soap’s men made the cut here—there’s no denying that all of them have completely and totally sexy slabs of beef on their cast rosters.

And, in a pretty swift move of cross marketing, we even have links to interviews with some of these guys, courtesy of our friend Michael Fairman over at MichaelFairmanSoaps.com.

But before we get to that, I’ll bet some of you are wondering how those hunky Brits and Aussies did on last month’s countdown. Well I am happy to report that, largely due to Bat fever, Dark Knight Christian Bale came in at number one, followed closely by Bond stud Daniel Craig and Tudors stud Henry Cavill. Damn near tied for fourth and fifth—Hugh Jackman and nip/tuck hunk Julian McMahon—while our little joke (the addition of a woman; Catherine Zeta Jones) climbed all the way to sixth. I knew you guys weren’t completely gay.

This time around, we’ve got a group of men so hot it almost hurts to have to choose between them. But that’s what you’re all tasked with. So sit back, relax and enjoy the fun!

James Scott Stats:
List Virgin
Last Month:
N/A
Highest Rank:
N/A

One of two Brits on the countdown, James Scott got his start in theatre, moved to daytime with a role on All My Children and then traded coasts to play the sexiest villian in daytime on Days of Our Lives. The avid runner trains for marathons when he's not working... and I sure wouldn't mind breaking a sweat with this guy.

Colin Egglesfield Stats:
List Veteran
Last Month:
N/A
Highest Rank:
N/A

Many a model has made the transition to daytime, but few quite so successfully as All My Children's Colin Egglesfield. As son to daytime diva Erica Kane (Susan Lucci), Colin was immediately thrust onto the front burner... and into the pages of People as one of last year's sexiest bachelors. Now, he's taking the big screen by storm, in films like Must Love Dogs and the forthcoming James Cameron pic Avatar.

Thad Luckinbill Stats:

Last Month:

Highest Rank:

On daytime, he's sexy J.T. Hellstrom on The Young & the Restless, but Thad Luckinbill has parlayed his success into a string of big primetime gigs, including guest sports on CSI and nip/tuck (he stripped naked for sexy Julian McMahon). That recently added another title to his resume... first time dad! Click here to read Michael Fairman's interview with Thad.

Cameron Mathison Stats:
List Veteran
Last Month:
7
Highest Rank:
3

As Ryan Lavery on All My Children, Cameron Mathison is dashing, daring and looks damn good in a towel. He's parlayed his soap success into a stint on Dancing With the Stars, the occasional hosting gig and work as a correspondent for Good Morning America. Nice match, because this is definitely one face I'd kill to get a 'Good Morning' from.

Antonio Sabato Jr Stats:
List Veteran
Last Month:

Highest Rank:
2

Two things helped Antonio Sabato Jr. become a household name: General Hospital and Calvin Klein. Fifteen years after debuting in daytime, Antonio's back... sort of. The hunky underwear model joins the cast of Soap Net's new original series General Hospital: Night Shift and proves he's still got it going on.

Brandon Beemer Stats:
List Veteran
Last Month:
3
Highest Rank:
1

When we added Brandon Beemer to the countdown the first time around, he was starring on Days of Our Lives, almost always shirtless and rumored to be dating Lance Bass. Well, rumor debunked (they're just friends), and now Brandon's moved soaps (to Bold & the Beautiful), but he's still every inch as shirtless and ever inch as hot. Click here for Michael Fairman's interview with Brandon.
