Who Made Santa’s Nice List In The Land Of Soap Operas For 2024?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! As daytime drama fans are busy decking those halls and trimming their Christmas trees, it’s time to look back on 2024 and see who’s been naughty and who’s been nice in the land of soaps this year.

Nice List – The Bold And The Beautiful – Ridge Forrester

When Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) found out his ex, Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) was suffering from a heart condition, he went above and beyond what a normal ex would do in this situation.

First, he insisted that she get a second opinion, was there with her every step of the way, and when he realized he was the reason behind her ‘broken heart’ syndrome, the dude even chakra’d with her and for her. He’s getting spoiled from Santa this year!

Nice List – Days Of Our Lives – Maggie Kiriakis

Maggie Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) almost always gets on Santa’s nice list for her caring heart and helpful attitude.

Although this year, Maggie took the cake when she dispersed her half of Victor Kiriakis’ (John Aniston) fortune among the Kiriakis relatives he did not add to his will. Who does that? Well, Maggie does!

Runner up on the ‘best of Santa’s nice list’ in Salem has to be awarded to Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans), who continues to walk a straight path, even when swayed not to.

When Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) tried to convince her to look into fake Abigail DiMera’s/Cat Greene’s (AnnaLynne McCord) DNA results because he could sniff a rat, Kayla declined and had him go by the books.

Steve was in the right, but Kayla is never one to waiver when it comes to her job and following the rules.

Nice List – General Hospital – Cody Bell

Sure, Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) was once a con artist, but he’s completely changed his ways. Coming clean to Mac Scorpio (John J. York) and revealing he was his biological son was one positive step to getting on Santa’s list.

Also befriending Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) and helping her through a difficult time, not to mention how great he is with all the kids that go in and out of the Quartermaine stables makes him top the list.

Perhaps, Santa can send him a solid romance in 2025, now that his one with Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattsson) sizzled due to their Scorpio family connection.

Still, he’s not the only one on Santa’s nice list in Port Charles, as Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst), the head nurse with a heart of gold, deserves whatever she wants, from Santa this year.

Liz isn’t only a good friend, good mom, and good person, she’s always there to lend an ear to a colleague, a baby daddy, strangers, and even sometimes foes.

Nice List – The Young And The Restless – Nick Newman

Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) continues to go above and beyond for those that he cares for. What other man would race to one ex-wife’s house to help her deal with her mental health meltdown, only to race to another ex-wife to hold her hand at the hospital?

More than being a good ex, Nick is also an amazing father and friend. Plus, he has a smile that could melt the heart of the Grinch.

Alas, he’s not the only person to top Santa’s list in the land of Genoa City. After all, Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) should be considered for sainthood considering how sweet she is, and how terrible her siblings can be.

Still, Traci stood by her sister’s, Ashely Abbott’s (Eileen Davidson) side throughout her entire dissociative identity disorder (DID) and took some emotional abuse from Ashley’s alters along the way.

Probably the top thing on Traci’s Christmas wish list is romance, which she received a little earlier this year, so here’s hoping she continues to enjoy her relationship with Alan Laurent (Christoper Cousins) if that is truly who he is …
