Who was the best ever soap bitch?

Ever - in any soap?

My top 5 would be (in reverse order)

5. The Freak (Joan): PCBH. A cruel sadist - when she put on those black leather gloves - it was time to be scared (VERY scared)
4. Cindy Beale: EE. Driven by a hatred of Ian is kind of excusable, but she could be bad when she wanted to be
3. Tracey Barlow: Corrie. Would do anything to get what she wanted (even murder) and never showed remorse (ever)
2. Alexis Carrington-Colby-Dexter-Morrell: Dynasty. The grandmamma of all soap bitches - classy, tough and never a hair out of place
1. Kim Tate: Emmerdale. Ruthless, stunning, devious and a nice line in bitchy put downs (though s**t on Family Fortunes)

Got to be Izzy Hoyland in Neighbours!!!

Izzy rocked and Natalie Bassingthwaighte is an awesome actress!

Clare Cunningham in Hollyoaks was also pretty bad.

Kim Tate of course. ..
But then Izzy Hoyland and Clare Cunningham could rival for the best bitch spot.
Tracey Barlow, Janine Butcher and Cindy Beale too.

Then you have your smaller ranks like Sadie King, Rosemary King, Chloe Atkinson, Nicola Blackstock....

I'd give it to Gemma Bissix as Clare Cunningham though...

I'm not a regular Hollyoaks viewer - but from what I saw Claire was a worthy inclusion in the Greatest Bitch Top 10.

Janine Butcher was good too - looking forward to her [brief?] return to EE next year.

Alas! Sadie King just didn't do it for me. I think she tried too hard (as does Nicola De Souza)

I would have to say Izzy Hoyland and Elle Robinson, both of whom were played by talented actress.

Linda Baldwin 1998-2001 Coronation Street
And her previous incarnation: Emmerdale's Tina Dingle (the only person ever to give Kim Tate a good run for her money)

My top five:

- Clare Devine/Cunningham
- Kim Tate
- Rosemary Sinclair/King
- Tina Dingle
- Janine Butcher

I DON'T rate:

- Cindy Beale - more weak than anything else - the only really bad thing she did was have Ian shot and even then she tried to call it off
- Tracy Barlow - boring
- Nicola Blackstock - tries too hard
- Charity Dingle - cheap trash, did monstrous things like selling her baby but was still portrayed as 'loveable tart with a heart Charity'
- Sadie King - whatever

Any soap?

Well surely the Queen Bitch of soap has to be Alexis Colby (Carrington-Dexter)?

There have been some great soap bitches - many already in this thread but Alexis beats them all without even having to get out of bed

It was a close run thing between Alexis and Kim as to who I would rate my No1 top bitch - but I think Kim's nifty lines in bitchy patter just pushed her slightly ahead of the great Alexis - and I suspect if were a tie and we had to call a cat fight to secure 1st place - Kim would have it in the (saddle) bag.
