Shawn Christian leads DAYS domination of 15th Annual Soaphunks.net Awards

The fourth time was the charm for DAYS' Shawn Christian, who won Best Hunk in the 15th Annual Soaphunks.net Awards, when winners were announced today.

The DAYS doctor had been nominated for Best Hunk three previous times before finally winning this year and becoming the oldest hunk ever to win the top prize. He also won for Best Butt and Best Hunk Over 40, marking the the second consecutive year that the same person has won both the regular and the Over 40 races in the same year.

The only race lost by Christian was Best Torso, where he finished second to winner Rob Wilson of AMC. Wilson also won a very competitive race for Hunkiest Newcomer. Wilson's wins were the first for AMC since 2005.

Also winning two prizes were Y&R's Marco Dapper, who won Best Pecs and Best Arms; and DAYS' Greg Vaughan, who took Best Face for a record fourth time and whose priest's collar snared him a win as Most Shamefully Clothed.

All other winners claimed a single prize, but they were almost entirely nabbed by DAYS actors. Among the show's overall 10 wins were Nathan Owens for Best Abs, Galen Gering for Best Hair (his 5th win in that category), James Scott for Best Voice (his 7th), Freddie Smith for Best Smile, and Chandler Massey for Best Eyes. Curiously, last year's Best Hunk winner, Eric Martsolf, was shut out this year. Not curiously, DAYS triumphed as Hunkiest Soap for the 8th time.

OLTL alum and two-time Best Hunk winner David A. Gregory won for Most Missed Soap Hunk.
