38th Annual Daytime Emmy Pre-Nominations Announced – Shocking Omissions!
Courtesy/NATAS
The 38th annual Daytime Emmy Award Pre-Nominations were announced this morning by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. And to clarify, these are the performers that will now compete for the final slots on the final ballot which will be announced on May 11th, with the actual ceremony looking to be back in Las Vegas on June 19th.
About the voting process: A preliminary Daytime drama performer ballot, containing each of the six performer categories, was assigned to registered, eligible peer voters. This ballot contained the full list of all entrants submitted from each show and each voter was entitled to select as many candidates as they believed worthy of Emmy consideration. The candidates below, who received the highest number of votes for each show in each category, now advance to the final at-home screening round, due to be conducted in March and April, 2011, which will determine both nominees and winners. Note: the nominees only submit one show for the competition to illustrate their work.
After On-Air On-Soaps reviewed the pre-nominations, several shocking omissions stood out to us. Let’s go around the horn looking at each show of who did NOT get to the final round that should have. (Remember these were performers who were eligible based on the pre-pre nominations list) From One Life to Live, Florencia Lozano did not score a nod for Lead Actress, nor did Nic Robuck for Younger Actor. Over at General Hospital, Kimberly McCullough, and Dominic Zamprogna, both did not receive nods in the Supporting category. ( Zamprogna had the tough task of overcoming Jonathan Jackson and Jason Thompson, who also deserved to be in the running and did not make it in to the final round) Over at DAYS, Crystal Chappell did not get in for Lead, nor did Suzanne Rogers, who had a banner year for Supporting Actress. Y&R had a plethora of odd choices leaving out Eric Braeden, Melody Thomas Scott and Michael Muhney for Lead and Supporting categories, respectively. You can make your own assessments and rationale as to why the talented lot above did not get in to the next round.
And now after the jump, check out which of your favorites DID RECEIVE the pre-nominations. Congrats to all from On-Air On-Soaps!

‘All My Children’ Movie Writers for Lifetime Revealed: Ron Carlivati, Jamey Giddens and Leo Richardson
This week began and as reported with a spotlight article on Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos and how their production entity, Milojo, has been teeing up the All My Children reboot with Lifetime.
The L.A. Times featured the married couple, co-hosts of Live with Kelly and Mark, and former All My Children cast members (where they met and fell in love) about their plans to bring two All My Children movies to Lifetime and how they are working with the Agnes Nixon estate to make it come to fruition,
On Wednesday, it was revealed by Daytime Confidential, that All My Children reboot producer, Andrew Stearn handpicked none other than Ron Carlivati (ex-head writer, One Life to Live, General Hospital and Days of our Lives) and Jamey Giddens (who is the new co-head writer of The Young and the Restless, following his tenures on the writing teams of Beyond the Gates and Days of Our Lives), as the two scribes who will bring the first of two of Kelly and Mark’s All My Children movies to the page.

RON CARLIVATI AND JAMEY GIDDENS CONFIRM THEIR BOARDING THE ALL MY CHILDREN MOVIE PROJECT
The second installment is said to be written by primetime writer Leo Richardson whose credits include: Star, Katy Keene and more recently the Penn Badgley (ex-Phillip Chancellor IV, The Young and the Restless) starring series, You.
Richardson also wrote for three years on the U.K.’s long-running soap, EastEnders. All My Children revival fans will recall Richardson’s name was attached as the writer for the first incarnation of the All My Children movies, entitled, Pine Valley.
Ron Carlivati took to X and confirmed he is indeed boarding the All My Children movie project. Carlivati shared, “So excited to share this news! Thanks to Andrew Stearn, Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos, Albert Bianchini and the Agnes Nixon estate for entrusting Jamey Giddens and me with the first of two planned All My Children movies for Lifetime! Stay tuned!”

Jamey Giddens confirmed DC’s announcement by taking to his account on X and expressing, “I’ve been booked and busy in 2026. Thanks to Andrew Stearn, the Agnes Nixon estate, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos for entrusting Ron Carlivati, and me with the first of two planned All My Children movies for Lifetime!”
Some fans seemed to question how Giddens could be writing for the first All My Children movie at Lifetime, when he is the new co-head writer at The Young and the Restless with Dan O’Connor. Jamey answered that head on via X and explained, “We turned in our All My Children script months ago. My sole focus as of this past Monday, is Genoa City, Wisconsin! #YR”
ERICA KANE, MARIA SANTOS AND HAYLEY AND MATEO SANTOS TO APPEAR IN THE ALL MY CHILDREN MOVIE REVIVAL?
In the planned stories, Susan Lucci’s Erica Kane and Eva LaRue’s Maria Santos will be two characters whose lives we will get to see for the first time since the series was canceled by ABC back in 2011 after 41 years on the air. As well, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos confirmed they will make brief appearances on-screen; one could assume as Hayley and Mateo Santos.
“It’d be wonderful to give the fans something that they’ve been yearning for so many years,” shared Mark Consuelos to the LA Times. “All My Children gave me my family. I met my wife there. It gave me my start in the business. It gave us so much. It would be a dream to be able to give back.”
So, what do you think of Ron Carlivati and Jamey Giddens getting nod to write the All My Children movie #1 script and Leo Richardson #2? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

‘All My Children’ Revival Updates: Lifetime EVP Speaks on Why Proposed Movies are Great Fit, Mark Consuelos Wants To ‘Give Back’ to Fans
The All My Children revival via movies at Lifetime is still in the works from former series stars and marrieds, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, through their production company, Milojo.
The co-hosts of Live with Kelly and Mark were featured this week in a Los Angeles Times article which detailed their efforts to bring some of the citizens of Pine Valley back to your screens.
As previously reported, and reaffirmed by the L.A. Times, the All My Children movies will be set in the present day and focus on what beloved characters such as Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) and Maria Santos Gray (Eva LaRue) are doing now. In addition, Kelly Ripa confirmed that she and Mark Consuelos will also appear on screen briefly most likely appearing in their signature soap roles as Hayley and Mateo Santos.

ALL MY CHILDREN MOVIES BRING NOSTALGIA THAT CAN BE MADE TO FEEL NEW AGAIN
Elaine Frontain Bryant, executive vice president and head of programming for A&E, Lifetime, and Lifetime Movie Network said of the All My Children reboot, “Lifetime is always interested in shows that kind of tap into a powerful nostalgia that can be made fresh for today’s audience. There’s a whole generation of women that have missed these stories and these characters.”
As for working with Kelly and Mark on the Lifetime movie versions of the soap, “They’re exactly the kind of partners you want at a brand,” expressed Bryant. “They’re trusted voices because every day they’re talking to their audience, which, a lot of times, is our audience. They bring a real credibility and have an authentic point of view. You meet Kelly and Mark and kind of what you see is what you get, and I think they bring that same authenticity to their development standards.”
Albert Bianchini, executive producer for Milojo, says he knows All My Children is so wildly popular with the fans of daytime. That was punctuated when seeing it in person, and how the energy was off the charts back in January of 2025 when Kelly participated along with Susan Lucci, former head writer, Lorraine Broderick and casting director, Judy Blye Wilson in a conversation with Andy Cohen at the 92nd Street Y in New York City.

“I’ve never seen a crowd like that in my life. People were lined up around the block, recalled the Bianchini. “Everyone wanted to know, ‘When is (All My Children) coming back? We want more.’ We got to see that in real life and Kelly got to feel it in real life, and it made so much sense. I just know that the minute it gets out in the world, people will want more and more and more. There’s just a love there.”
Kelly Ripa added that they are, “working closely with Bob and Sarah Nixon, who are also serving as producers.” She recalled, “She (Agnes Nixon) was so far ahead of her time. She covered topics that weren’t being covered. It was extraordinary the audiences that the show drew, and she served them real stories that were affecting Americans across the country but weren’t necessarily being represented anywhere.”
“It’d be wonderful to give the fans something that they’ve been yearning for so many years,” shared Mark Consuelos. “All My Children gave me my family. I met my wife there. It gave me my start in the business. It gave us so much. It would be a dream to be able to give back.”
THE CANCELLATION AND STOPS AND STARTS OF ALL MY CHILDREN REBOOTS
All My Children aired on ABC from 1970 to 2011. It got a second chance at life when Prospect Park resurrected the show and brought it to The OnLine Network and Hulu for one season in 2013.
Recently, the series made a return through the estate of Agnes Nixon and is streaming internationally on BEONDTV and through their partnership with PlutoTV Canada with episodes starting in 1995. Fans hope original episodes will some day soon be available in the U.S. as well, but that could prove more difficult since ABC owns the rights to the episodes stateside.
Now 13 years later, while there is no word yet on a definitive production start date to the two movies at Lifetime, all the people involved seemed determined to make it come to life.
So, what do you think of the executive vice-president of Lifetime and LMN being enthusiastic about Kelly and Mark’s All My Children movie revivals? Are you wanting to see this come to fruition? Kelly and Mark seem to have made this a very high priority. Do you hope that by 2027 we might be able to get this to the finish the line and into production? Weigh-in via the comment section.
Starting on May 1, All My Children fans in Canada will be able to see classic episodes of the beloved former ABC soap opera when they stream on Pluto TV Canada.
Pluto TV picked-up the All My Children Channel that the Nixon family has created in partnership with BEONDTV +. The show which aired for 41 years on ABC and ended on the network in 2011, had so many memorable storylines and characters; the least of which is the enduring run of Erica Kane played by soap icon, Susan Lucci.
As previously reported, starting with episodes from the year 1995, which was the 25th anniversary of the soap. Pluto TV Canada viewers will be able to catch 8 episodes on repeat per day. With the success of the venture, the Nixons are hopeful that they will bring viewers many more years of the show to come.

Sarah Nixon, producer, shared with Michael Fairman TV exclusively, “We are thrilled that Pluto TV has launched All My Children in Canada! Let’s hope the engagement from our incredibly loyal fans across the border will encourage ABC to bring it to the U.S.! We share what Aggie (Agnes Nixon) always felt, that it is the enthusiasm and love from the fans that has kept this legacy beloved and relevant – to this day!”
In addition, 0ne week ago, during Susan Lucci’s visit to Los Angeles promoting her book La Lucci, she was joined by her former Pine Valley castmates, Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee, AMC, now Taylor, B&B) and Eva LaRue (ex-Maria, AMC) and the trio posed for a pic. At that time, LaRue shared via Instagram, “NEW All My Children channel streaming classic episodes 24/7 now on Pluto TV Canada! Fingers crossed to watch soon on Pluto US.”
That was also confirmed this week by TV Watercooler’s Jeevan Brar who took to X and expressed, “The All My Children channel begins streaming this Friday, May 1 on Pluto TV Canada.
So, Canadian viewers, excited about Pluto TV’s All My Children channel? United States fans, hopeful from Sarah’s message that perhaps soon, we can see the beloved soap once again as well? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

DZ snub is just mind boggling! But congratz to all the noms!!
I would love to know if he got an in house vote from his PERS or not? That shooting s/l with sonny was amazing and whoever couldn’t acknowledge that, well shame on them!!!!
Where is Dominic Zamprogna’s name???
I’m happy with the prenom they deserve the recognition and I wont be petty wondering why others got snubbed it takes away from the folks who got a prenom and thats not fair to the talented people who made the list. Congrats to them.
Haley Pullos, Chad Duell, Steve Burton and Jonathan Jackson all deserve a nod. Haley and Chad have been incredible and Jonathan steals every scene he is in. I’ve never seen a male actor who can cry like he can and look so real. Congratulations to everyone.
Then I’ll be petty — because too many actors were ripped off AGAIN and too many names are on the list that don’t belong here.
Nothing is a mess like the daytime emmy awards.
I wish the soap press, which I do appreciate, would not just call out the terrible ommissions, but also call out the names of actors who SHOULDN’T be on the list.
I know it’s a close community, but the truth is always better. Some actors had too little s/l or were just plain bad. Some actors were nominated simply because they’re LIKED, for God’s sake.
The Melody Thomas Scott omission is particularly bad. After all these years, and after a great last year, she still can’t get a frickin nom? That is just pathetic.
I couldn’t agree more about the Melody Thomas Scott omission. I am absolutely HORRIFIED by this!! WTF?!?! It’s unbelievable to me that her peers constantly overlook her work. She is, hands down, one of the most talented performers in the industry and everyone knows it! What does this woman have to do to get a nom? It’s such a travesty. Shame on EVERYONE involved.
I am happy to see, however, that Tricia Cast was nominated. She is very deserving of that. She shines in everyone of her scenes and is very believeable.
Its another Suzanne Lucie fiasco with Melody! She is consistently above her peers….am wondering if perhaps the Bells decided to overlook her due to the negotiations of the past? hmmmm! Money but no glory!
Dominic Zamprogna being left off is really a crime. He’s the best actor on that show period. JJ, nice guy, but come on. Just cause you can cry at the drop of a hat doesn’t make you a great actor. Range people… that makes a good actor. Funny, mad, sad, those acting abilities are what make a good well-rounded actor. And to be able to do it without looking like you’re acting, that even better talent. JJ can sorta do comedy/silly scenes, but he looks stiff doing it. Trust me I get that soap performers are actually pretty good actors (hey, they’re not doing really bad B movies or porn so they have real honest talent). But, good looks and being able to naturally shed tears should not qualify you for an award. And of course I say this in the kindest way possible… these are all genuinely nice people doing good work.
These pre noms get worse and worse every year. We can only hope the final ballot quickly discards some of these blunders. What about Michael Muhney of Y&R who carried that show? Amazing, amazing work. The cabin scenes which he stole from everyone else in those scenes. The follow up scenes with Eric Braeden in the hospital while Adam is handcuffed to the bed This was also some of Eric’s best work in years. Soap actors are dopes for not recognizing the work of their peers whether they like them personally or not. Grow up people. And what in the world was the Days cast thinking submtiting Nadia Bjorlin over Suzanne Rogers? Then again all of the noms for their show are lazy, uninspired choices. Florencia Lozano was very surprising. I am not a big fan of hers and do not think she was a clear cut favorite like other past nominees have been. But on that show I would think she would be more of a choice than either Kassie or Gina T. in my opinion. The OLTL cast has shown their pettiness in the past with some of their nominee choices. I could go on and on but why bother at this point. Such a joke.
I thought for sure this would be Melody Thomas Scott’s year! It is a shame! Same nominee’s every year!
I did, too. Her work was every bit as good as Stafford and Cooper. Not to take anything away from either of those two, but I am completely incensed by their absolute ignorance of her work this past year. Do these people have televisions? There are no words.
Wow…I am shocked about Dominic Zamprogna not being pre-nominated! He is talented and has had a full range of screens, emotions and has been amazing! Yes JJ and Jason T have done great, especially JT…but I am blown away about this!
Very proud for Chad D ah ge has had an amazing year! And excited for Maurice! It is deserving!
Contests to all the pre- nominees!
Jonathan Jackson is an incredible actor who doesn’t have to rely on his good looks to make a scene. He’s got an incredible range of emotions.From his scenes in the park with Claire Walsh, to his sparkly chemistry with Maxie Jones, to his heart-breaking confrontation with Elizabeth Webber,Jonathan doesn’t fail to deliver the goods. He emotes with his eyes and his face and doesn’t just give the same blank stare when a scene calls for real emotional depth.
Gina got in for a year of Chemsity testing the Male Poplution of Landview over Florience!
LMAO. So true. I really like Tognoni, but that’s hilarious! 🙂
I know. I was sure Florencia would win the whole thing.
Are you kidding me! Kelly Monaco???? What tape did she submit, all she ever does is parade around in her underwear, break one of her extremely hig heels, lose her gun and get coffee for a mini me. Fronzie must have paid big bucks to get her submitted.
Fronzie paid big time for “his girls” getting nominated. This has got to be a joke.
I’m happy congrats James Scott! I hope this year wins
I agree 100% Sara! And also Molly! What great young talent!! Am surprised they even nominated Shelly….what a waste of space and time on the screen! Give her the boot and bring back Lucas!!
Completely shocked that Dominic Zamprogna didn’t get the pre-nom. Like Jason Thompson but can’t remember one scene of his last year that should have bumped DZ out of the nomination. His range from emotional devastation, to vibrating anger, and everything in between is incredible. I can’t help but look at those that were left of the list and think that there is way more politics involved here then anyone will admit to.
These pre-noms make me think that the selection process needs to be from a “compilation tape” rather than just one day. It should be for a body of work and not just one performance in an entire year.
I couldn’t have said it better.
I am shocked that Crystal Chappel did not make the final pre nom list for Days.Happy for the other Days pre noms.Shawn Christian deserves the final cut over JKJ.He had a few outstanding scenes to choose from like the period when Carly revealed to Daniel he was Melanie’s dad,and the father/daughter bonding scenes afterward
I agree with Shawn over Jay…..go gettem Molly!!!!
If it is petty to point out that many of the prenominations were awarded to individuals who would struggle to find scenes for supporting when they are supposedly lead or will likely use scenes with someone who should have been nominated because there are no other options, then I’ll raise my hand and admit I am petty.
This would be why I have not watched since Susan Lucci first won her Daytime Emmy. It has always been a high school popularity contest, and it has only deteriorated since then.
I am thrilled that Chad Duell landed a nomination; well deserved. His entire prison storyline arc last year and the aftermath trauma of the rape was excellent. He should be a contender next year too for the reveal that happened on 1/31/11. I also think that JJ had a phenomenal year last year, and he, too, deserves the nomination. I am surprised that DZ did not get a nomination, but the contest was between him and Jason Thompson (JJ was a shoe-in), and apparently, Jason nudged him out. Jason had a good tape with the affair confession and reveal. I know that DZ had a great deal of airtime, but I’m trying to recall a scene that would put him in the Emmy nominations. Did his finding out about Sonny being his father happen in early 2010? If so, his confrontation with Sonny was Emmy worthy. Why can’t there be three noms for each show?
Yes, DZ had the father son confrontation with Sonny end of January/beginning of February. He had some great scenes in response to Kristina’s issue with relationship abuse as well. He’s had wonderful scenes…so many of them. Don’t know why they left him out. He’s a big part of GH now.
I LOVE Crystal Chappell’s work and she’s a brilliant performer and lovely in person. I know that she can usually (to borrow a phrase from Daytime Confidential crew) ‘turn shit to sugar’, but I felt that she didn’t have sufficient good material for Lead Actress on DAYS last year. Most of the year she spent propping up other character’s storylines. She may have been better off in Supporting category.
Love CC and can’t wait to see her shine in a storyline of her own – and better writing. Also VENICE ROCKS!
Venice does indeed ROCK!!!
Totally shocked that Kimberly McCullough did not receive a pre-nom for her work this year. Like you, I thought her work with the equally deserving, Jason Thompson, was some of the best work on that entire show last year. I think we all know that the whole nominating process is flawed. I know that Peter Bergman actually spoke about it a few years ago. There has to be a way to fix the process to make it more fair and allow for people who actually watch the shows to determine the nominees. Then you can have the actors vote based on nominating reels. I don’t know what the answer is, but would love members of the soap press like yourself to speak out on this issue and maybe start a movement to have the process changed. When the whole process is flawed, it turns the Emmys into a joke.
I believ kimberly mccullough should of been nominated this is one of her best years.
Michael, I can’t believe what I’m reading! How did some of the worst actors get pre nominated? There are four that I could commit to. Jonathan Jackson, Chad Duell, Jerry Ver Dorn, and Laura Wright. Kelly Monaco cannot act She probably is one of the luckiest actors, if you even want to call her that, to even have a job. This is very upsetting. You are right about the omissions, Michael.Florencia and her story was unbelieveable. The writing was so good and eerie. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her performance and how she made it so real. I’m giving up. There must be politics involved. It seems to be going around!!! I just don’t understand how they could even believe some of these performers they selected deserve to be nominated. The soap world is going to hell in a handbasket…. Ick…….
Congratulations to Nadia Bjorlin.She desirves a nomination and a victory for her scenes about the hysterical pregnancy,especially the one Chloe is told she’s not pregnant.She rocked.And with her PPD this year,she’s rocking and should also get a nomination for next year’s Emmys.It’s about time this extremely talented actress gets some recognition for her amazing work
I’m still sad that Van Hansis chose not to submit himself this year.His body of work was fabulous in 2010.but he had his reasons. I know this in my head but that doesn’t make it any easier in my heart to accept this.Such a wonderful actor and such a wonderful man!!!
Dominic Zamprogna knows how to act his scenes with Maurice was astoning finding out he was sonny son and his role with kristena and helping her with her abuse was phenomina I cannot believe he wasn’t nominated because his girlfriend julie marie berman was which I am glad because she is a fantastic actress . He had so many scenes that should of been emmy worthy I don’t know how they pick the actors but I believe Doninic should of been pick .
I agree. I can’t believe it either. They overlooked a true acting gem when they overlooked Dominic Zamprogna.
Chad Duell Deserves that emmy because he is an amazing actor as Michael Corinthos
I am so bummed about Florencia not making the list. I was convinced oltl would snag another lead actress emmy win this year. Tea drove story all year. It was riveting. I love gina tognoni but how will she find a reel that could win. She is finally now being utilized, but 2010 was not Ginas year. The other joke is David Gregory. Really? I am not one of the Ford haters out therebut I cant think of a single scene he has been in that remotely touched me. At least Eddie Alderson got through, but Nic Robuck would have been my pic. Now I am rooting for Robin Strasser and Kristen Alderson to get some wins. Kristen is passed every year, and while her character has been dulled down, she is still my favorite teen.
Well said. I agree 100% with what you’ve said. I was CONVINCED that Téa from OLTL and Angie from AMC would be the shoo-ins for Lead Actress from ABC. Guess I’m only 1/2 right. 🙁 Yes, last year they kept Kelly bouncing from boring man to boring man until NOW when she’s finally showing spark with John! Sorry “Jolie” fans… Anyway, and ditto about the Ford guy. I HATED him (and his “acting”) until just NOW when he’s finally starting to have more dimensions and range than the narcissistic male whore he played throughout the bulk of 2010. I never thought I’d like a Ford, but now it’s apparent the guy has some talent. Which one is Nic Robuck – James or Nate? IMO, Nate is a better actor than the James guy.
I’m a bit happy with these pre-nominations but where are ERIC BRAEDEN, MELODY THOMAS SCOTT AND MICHAEL MUHNEY???????
Tricia Cast, YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cant get excited about any of these noms really since As The World Turns is no longer with us. It was my favorite and I have watched all the soaps at one time or another. I would love it if As The World Turns won the emmy for outstanding drama even though its no longer on. After The World went off the air I gave DAYS about a month before I couldn’t take it any longer so I switched to One Life to Live. It is sooooo much better than Days. Several former ATWT and Guilding Light performers are on One Life now . In a way watching One Life is like going to a family reunion with family and friends you havent seen in awhile.
MICHELLE STAFFORD / PETER BERGMAN, / CHRISTIAN LE BLANC
Will these actors ever stop being pre-nominated from Y&R? Is anyone keeping count? Is it over 15 times each yet? Their are over 50 members on the cast, these three need to look around and notice others besides themselves.
Yep….I agree….but ya gotta love Billy Miller! Great talent!
My leading actors & actresses Maurice Benard (Sonny) and Steve Burton (Jason). Peter Reckell (Bo) and James Scott (EJ). Christian LeBlanc (Michael).Susan Flannery (Stephanie) and Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke). Alison Sweeney (Sami). Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) & for me Arianne Zucker (Nicole) is Lead.
I’m disappointed that Kimberly McCullough, Florencia Lozano, David Canary and Susan Lucci are not on the pre-nom list. I’m pleased to see that Robin Strasser and Melissa Claire Egan are in the running, though I think Egan should be up for Lead Actress.
I agree about Egan. Annie pretty much drove story. And, though I ADORE Alicia’s Kendall, she missed half the year and when she was on, she wasn’t Lead until Zack’s “death”…
What about Zach Slater? I think he was the best one on AMC. I think the series lost something without him.
Soooo glad that James Scott made it into the final cut, he sooo deserves to win as does Ali Sweeney. Aside from that I’m thinking Molly Burnett, Jay Johnson & Arianne Zucker should win in their categories.
If anyone deserves to win its Molly Burnett! Can’t believe Shelly/Stephanie is even in the running! I’m with you on James…Jay is not even close to James IMHO. Arianne is deserving as is Ali. I believe Maggie/Suzanne Rogers should have been nommed in best supporting…she’s a class act and so much talent!
i hope that james scott wins this time he truely deserve to win with all my heart
I wood like to see more of Days of Hour Lives win
this year.They are geting realy.
Dominic Zamprogna should have gotten nominated. I like the character of Patrick Drake but he has never been as intense or as engaging as Dominic has been as his character Dante. I waited all year to see Dominic’s name as being nominated. I am disappointed.
I could not agree more!
I am totally disgusted (yet again) with the fact that Dominic Zamprogna was once again denied the recognition he deserves as being an AMAZING actor. I truly believe that he played a key role in pumping some life back into the daytime show. The fact that he is being ignored YET AGAIN just goes to show how the suits, committee members, judges and all else involved pay no attention to the public/viewers/fans. I’m confidant in the fact that Mr. Zamprogna is well aware of of how many fans love him not only for his personality and appeal but for his phenomenal performance in all his scenes. It is reasons like this that diminish the value of these awards to me. I only hope they do the same for Mr. Zamprogna.
Brandon Barash deserved a nomination.
Sammy (Days of our Lives) is one of the best.
