Moore and Cranston went on to success in other genres, so it's easier for them to be magnanimous about their soap beginnings. TG never was able to shake off his soap trappings. I'm not making excuses for him, but it's got to be hard to desperately want to do other things and get pigeonholed as "just" a soap actor. I think a lot of actors have higher regard for soap actors than other people in the industry do. They realize how difficult it is to give the more outlandish stories any sort of realism. And to do it day after day. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2301-stars-in-other-roles-doppelgangers/page/13/#findComment-1956396

It pisses me off that soaps are no longer considered shows in their own right and are on par with doing commercials and an actor is pretty much starting from the bottom when they leave soaps, even if the racked up an Emmy. Part of that has to do with the low quality of the writing / overall presentation that has really dragged down these shows since the 2000s started. Getting paid work on a soap - or anywhere - IS success in the brutally competitive world of screen acting. But these shows have been turned into a joke because quality of storytelling apparently no longer matters. I get kind of mad on behalf of the actors. They should be able to celebrate that successs.
