The race is on for this years Daytime Emmys with the announcement this morning of the actors in the Daytime Drama Series categories who scored ‘Pre-Nominations’ and will move on to the final round of voting!
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) in cooperation with The Television Academy (ATAS), put out the official release which held the list of performers who will vie for a nomination for the upcoming 42nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.
The process used to determine those chosen as Pre-Nominated performers is as follows: An online judging ballot containing all entrants in each of four performer categories (Lead Actor and Actress and Supporting Actor and Actress) was sent to all registered, eligible peer judges. The ballot contained a randomized order of performers in each category, regardless of their show affiliation. Judges were required to view clips online containing the work of each performer entry before selecting their top 10 performer choices in each category. Please note that there are 11 Lead Actors and 11 Supporting Actresses due to exact ties in the voting. Th announcement also contains the names of the Entrants for Younger Actor and Actress, who will proceed directly to the Blue Ribbon Round.
Ballots were submitted directly to Lutz & Carr, an independent accounting firm, who tabulated the results. The candidates below who received the highest number of votes now advance to the blue ribbon screening round, scheduled to begin on February 24, 2015, which will determine both nominees and recipients. All final nominations will be announced on Thursday, March 26th.
Here are this year’s Daytime Drama Performer Pre-Nominations. Congrats to all!

Days of our Lives Receives WGA Nomination for Daytime Drama Series
UPDATED: On Wednesday, the nominations were unveiled for the 75th annual Writers Guild Awards to be held on Sunday, March 5 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
Writers Guild of America West and Writers Guild of America East announced nominations for outstanding achievement in television, new media, news, radio/audio, and promotional writing during 2022.

Schock.
DAYS head writer, Ron Carlivati shared in a statement: “My team and I are thrilled to be nominated for the 2023 Writers Guild Award for Daytime. We submitted three scripts from the storyline about Craig’s late-in-life coming out, the impact it had on his wife, Nancy, and of course, his ill-fated romance with the ever-scheming Leo.

DAYS and Y&R Alum, Quinn Redeker, Dead at 86
There was yet another death in the soap opera family at the end of 2022, that is just coming to light today. Quinn Redeker, who played Alex Marshall on Days of our Lives (1979-1987) and Rex Sterling and Nick Reed on The Young and the Restless died on December 20th from natural causes, according to his family. Quinn was 86-years-old.
Redeker was twice nominated for a Daytime Emmy in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category for his work on Y&R in 1989 and 1990.

Y&R viewers will remember Rex was a great-love of Katherine Chancellor’s (Jeanne Cooper) and the dad of both, Danny Romalotti and Gina Roma. He first appeared in that role on the CBS soap opera back in 1987. However, years earlier, Redeker appeared in 1979 as Nick Reed, the abusive father of Nikki.
Among Redeker’s other most notable work was that as a screenwriter for the 1978 Oscar-nominated film classic, The Deer Hunter starring Robert DeNiro, Christopher Walken and Meryl Streep. Quinn was credited for the original screenplay along with Deric Washburn, Louis A. Garfinkle and Michael Cimino.

In addition to his roles on television including on: Starsky and Hutch, Six Million Dollar Man, Kojak, and Barnaby Jones to name a few, Redeker appeared in the films: The Electric Horseman, The Candidate and Ordinary People.
He is survived by his children Brennen, Arianne, Glaen, and Quinn Jr., and two grandchildren.

SHARON CASE was dissed again!!!!!!! Okay now Im officially done with The Young and The Restless. Sharon Case works her butt off. Sharon is given such harsh backlash and and bashed on the show. All the rest of GC people are never bashed like Sharon Newman. Okay done
But did Sharon submit? I know many years she hasn’t. Perhaps Michael can find out if she even submitted.
Im sure Sharon did submitt. I am in shock she was not nominated. She is the hardest working women on the show and this poor character is given the worst writing.
you’re a big fan of Sharon/Sharon, right? and you’re pissed she didn’t get a pre-nom, right? so you’re going to stop watching?!
Don’t you worry about Ms. Case she is loved and respected by many. Darling it is all politics and Ms. Case does not jump in the middle of the mess they call this show! The Emmys are a complete joke and everybody who knows anything understands that I am laughing at the pre-noms. Same old tired actors with their little games. She is not there because she chose to not jump on the band wagon and stick her nose in the middle of a rumor. God Bless her!
cute post…. “Dahling”
“…Ms. Case does not jump in the middle of the mess they call this show! ”
I think that speaks volumes for our sharon Case
Yes, because clearly Sage’s 3 lines made a bigger impact this past year than Sharon. Um… I guess if you don’t want to know what happens on Thursday’s Y&R stop here! Even though I’m a Y&R newbie, nothing disgusts me more than this Sharon custody sl. Not even the Hilary & Devon sl.. Y&R showed Sharon take all the strong, smart steps: obtained a good lawyer, got a job even though she didn’t need to, remained reasonable, continued her meds, while Nick did zip. O. Nothing. He lounged around in the woods in a bear trap, trying to “find” himself.… Read more »
Wise words, Larie. You say it best
Not much has changed…Victor will always be Victor, no matter what. I smell a rat already. Amazing how Victor sold Chancellor just like that. Too easy. Victor the Dic-tator has something up his sleeve.
Yeah, I am just as baffled as you about Kelly Sullivan’s nom. She is a great actress, but too soon to be given consideration.
I believe only a handful are worthy of this award….some nominations do not make sense to me.
SC should have gotten a pre-nom for Lead Actress! Don’t know what it’ll take for her to get a nomination!
Every year people on this site expect a pre-nom and an actual nomination for Sharon Case.
And every year she is snubbed.
The academy is over her, folks. She hasn’t received a nomination in 11 years. She more than likely won’t ever see one ever again. It’s called “falling out of favor with your peers.”
Sorry Leo but Id say Sharon Case has one of the longest hugest fan base there is in daytime
SHARON CASE we love you. We wish they did not forget you
I must say that I’m impressed with the amount of nominations Y&R has…………but Justin Hartley for Lead Actor??? He just started; he’s GOOD but NOT yet. The same with Gina Tognoni for Lead Actress in which she is EXCELLING in her role but not yet! Tracey Bregman is either a YES or NO for me! Kelly Sullivan should have NOT been nominated YET for Supporting Actress! Overall, like the list for Y&R. Where is Melody Thomas Scott???? B&B: I love and respect John McCook but NO…………He hasn’t done much for Lead Actor! Scott Clifton should have been Lead instead of… Read more »
@ Derrick – I’m not a viewer of Y&R, and yet I agree with you with the ‘NOT yet’ submissions for Justin Hartley, Gina Tognoni, and Kelly Sullivan. While I’m familiar with all of their work… didn’t those three actors all debut on Y&R, in the fall? For me that doesn’t warrant a full year’s worth to submit. It feels like JFP decided to throw in all three of her latest hits, just for the sake of it. Who knows, it may work. Billy Miller debuted on GH in the fall, too, but he didn’t submit for GH.
Adding to the not yet list is Michaell Stafford as Nina on GH. First, I am in the minority as I think she overacts and chews up all the scenery. Second, like the players listed above, she just started. Not yet indeed.
@ harry – Michelle debuted on GH May 1st, then again at the start of June. She’s been on GH for 1/2 of 2014, whereas Justin, Gina & Kelly probably completed what… 2 months on Y&R, in 2014?
100% agree :
“didn’t they JUST start on the show?”
Justin Hartley
Gina Tognoni
Kelly Sullivan
already heralded so soon
worthy actors to be surefire HITS
B&B’s Scott Clifton should definitely have gotten Lead Actor he is extremely talented and is exceptionally in every storyline even when we don’t like the storyline at that time.
Everybody with an IQ of a baby knows what the JH pre -nom was about? Answer: for the show to stick it to MM once again. See here our new Adam is so great. He has not proven anything to me yet that he is even close to taking over the character of Adam. I guess we are all still in the first grade over there at Y&R. As for Kelly Sullivan she is another one of JFP’s pets. It really does not matter because TG owns the Lead and Finola Hughes will take supporting.
OMG!! I am so excited to see Freddie’s name on this list!! He so deserves to win!! <
i agree. I’m hoping Freddie wins in that category. He’s extremely talented.
Being that as I only watch GH, I’ll have to limit my comments to only them. Hoping Maura West walks away with it all, she slayed in every single scene! Also rooting hard for Finola Hughes and Bryan Craig.
At the risk of offending people, as far as this show goes I don’t think anyone was left off.
My guesses for who it will come down to: Lead Actress: Maura West, Laura Wright and Alison Sweeney (all of whom are greatly deserving) Lead Actor: Anthony Geary, Jason Thompson and Billy Miller (I hope JT takes it home finally) Supporting Actress: Elizabeth Hendrickson, Kim Matula and Michelle Stafford (I feel like this is MS’ to lose) Supporting Actor: Blake Berris, Chad Duell and Jacob Young (CD should definitely win) Younger Actress: To be honest, I haven’t got a clue, they’re all mediocre. Younger Actor: I think it’ll be between Bryan Craig and Freddie Smith And for outstanding drama series,… Read more »
No, Camryn Grimes (Mariah) of Y&R deserves the outstanding younger actress Emmy. Why, she’s so good she does not appear to be acting. Her personality seems natural–as if she is someone you’d not only meet in real life, but someone you’d like because they’re so honest, so cool and so cynical. Yes, she’s self-protective because she doesn’t want to get hurt again. How do I know this? Because the actress shows us, she doesn’t tell us. Because she deserves it so much this can only mean the less deserving Hunter King (Summer) will get it because of her constant histrionics.
You got it right Harry it goes (Oh nobody likes me boo hoo, I just don’t think I can do it sniff sniff rub eyes), then the rest of the cast has to hug her while Chuck P tell’s her what a wonderful job she did whining again. and that calls for a pre-nom and a win.
Absolutely, Harry. Camryn Grimes’s acting is effortless. I cannot understand what is so outstanding about Hunter King, as an actress.
Then, I was really thrown by Bryton James’s and Eric Martsolf’s nominations….and so many undeserving others. Really? I don’t get it.
I believe most of the nominees are deserving but there are a few nominated at Y&R that are a bit of a stretch. JFP must have her entire cast submit themselves. I still say she knows someone. Really wish she’d “Go Away”. Excited for GT as Nu Phyllis and JH as Nu Adam. Hope Billy Miller wins again to reiterate the mistake JFP made in letting him go. MS as “Nina” and MW as “Ava” GH had wonderful material.
BM made the decision to leave Y&R!
Billy Miller and Maura West are nominated! What a thrill!
You bet, Kalle.
Not a bad list, but for the love of all that is Holy and good, WHERE is Rebecca Herbst’s name for some of the best work she’s put in since her rape sl? Her scenes w/a bandaged & frightened Billy Miller were heartbreaking at times, remembering her son, Jake, funny at others, going to scrounge up some pancakes for Jake. Shame, shame! Once again, SHAME!
Ita! Not to mention her scenes with Ric Lansing! Rick Hearst is also missing!!!
Alison Sweeney, Peter Bergman, Doug Davidson, Linsey Godfrey, Amelia Heinle, Blake Berris, Steve Burton, Hunter King, Bryan Craig, and Freddie Smith all deserve Emmy Nominations.
Peggy McCay deserves a Lifetime Achievement Award!!!
yeah, if anything, Peggy McCay should be submitted under Supporting, not Lead. Lead is clearly not her category. btw- I love PMc.
Are you serious??? Alison Sweeney, Peter Bergman, Lindsey Godfrey, Blake Berris & Freddy Smith YES but I am curious what has Steve Burton done besides pour coffee, Hunter King is a joke she can’t act and if she could all she’s done is cry & whine (which she is good at even in real life) but don’t worry I can almost guarantee all three Doug Davidson, Steve Burton & Whiny pants Hunter King have already won.
Ditto.
Where’s Kelly Monaco?! SO bummed she isn’t even in the pre-noms. She deserves an Emmy or at least to be nominated 🙁 Excited about all the other GH characters tho, lets hope they win big this year 🙂
ME TOO!!
Wait, what??? No James Scott (EJ, DAYS)??? Did he not submit? WTH!!!
No he didn’t. He said so himself on twitter a little while back.
Too bad, because he had some of the strongest standalone episodes/material of just about anyone else.
It’s going to be a tough race for Lead Actor, with Billy Miller (ex-Y&R)
and Anthony Geary (GH). But again… James Scott (ex-Days) is missing from this pre-nomination list, how disappointing.
A glaring omission, I agree. Perhaps he didn’t submit. Clearly favorites and politics are going here. Half of the noms make sense, half are ridiculous.
How do they have kiddie actors in the same pre-nom category with ppl 2x their age?? Kinda scewered. Haha!!
My picks:
Tracey E. Bregman (Y&R), Jason Thompson (GH), Lisa LoCicero (GH), Blake Berris (Days), Ashlyn Pearce (B&B), Freddie Smith (Days)
no pre-nom for nicholas bechtel is an absolute crime.
Ita!!!
Where is Eileen Davidson? And I’m praying Alison Sweeney wins!!!
its clear that Y&R has a strong voting block, because they sure don’t have a strong cast to warrant this many pre nomination.
It’s not that they don’t have strong cast, it’s that Justin Hartley, Gina Tognoni and Kelly Sullivan just joined the show recently, they don’t deserve these nominations yet because they haven’t done enough work. But I think all of these actors, and the others from Y&R in the pre-noms, are just as strong as actors from other shows.
I don’t think anyone needs to take umbrage with the pre nomination list because they are submitted by the producer of the daytime series. You can take umbrage when the official nomination list comes out. That said, would someone please hand Tristan Rogers some decent material? This man can act up a storm! Plus he’s charismatic as all hell. But the writers seem determined to keep him acting like a low brow con artist. Not only that, he loses time and time again with his con artist endeavors. Maybe I am wrong to do so, but I cannot help but… Read more »
I hope Boles screens was when Ciara was backmailing Sami for the earrings.
That was funny!
It’s a great list! Not sure how they narrow it down, but good luck to everyone! what are the air dates for the nominees? I thought it was odd the baby stuff from GH (either baby) wasn’t here – maxie, spin, lulu, dante, brit, her mom… come to think of it not even that big story with Carly getting kidnapped and Franco saving her, and crazy Heather. She was kidnapped last January… would have thought at least that rescue with Heather and the cave in and the shooting of the man that came in and shooting Franco and all that… Read more »
I feel Teresa Castillo for her role of Gabriel sick and then dies. she was pregnant with her own child . that had to be a hard to do if u are pregnant in real life I think shes a wonderful actress
If there were a soap-opera equivalent of the Razzies, I would definitely nominate her!
Oh my gosh so many missing..Outstanding Lead actress should be Alison Sweeney (Sami) Days. Outstanding Lead actor should be Peter Bergman(Jack Abbott) Y & R. Outstanding Supporting Actress should be Lindsey Godfrey (Caroline) B&B Outstanding supporting actor should be Jacob Young (Rick) B&B Outstanding young actress should be Camryn Grimes(Mariah) Y&R Outstanding young actor should be Bryan Craig ( Morgan Corinthoes. This just wishful thinking and we already know the winners are Steve Burton, Hunter King, Doug Davidson so really will anyone watch it or just read about it on the net next day??
If Camryn Grimes does not get outstanding younger actress, something is sooo wrong. The girl is magnificently awesome. She was born to act. Hunter King cannot touch her. Nor can anyone from the other soaps. Peter Bergman deserves the lead actor.
I couldn’t agree more I checked out the competition and Camryn Grimes could leave them in the dust but I think after last year’s show not too many people will be watching. Sharon Case not being nominated is a good example of how fixed it will be again.
I no longer watch Days since James and Alison left, but I hope Alison receives award for best leading actress. Her performance by EJ’s death bed was extraordinary. She is a fantastic actress! If James submitted his name, I have no doubt ,he would be in best outstanding actor category.
Best wishes to all the nominees! Michael, thank you for posting this information.
Surprised not to see Jen Lilley and James Scott?! They’ve both been consistently fantastic.
There’s some tough competition there though!
yeah, Jen Lilley deserved a Supporting Actress nom! She was robbed, too.
Omg! I forgot all about her! She’s amazing why are Jen Lilley & Kate Mansi not on the lists?
Yeah. That is weird. Jen Lilley is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!! I don’t get it!
I don’t understand how people even get on the list that you barely ever see, or have not even been with the show long enough to have submittable material. Rarely seen: Molly (GH), Aly (B&B), TJ (GH), Caroline Brady (Days), Eric Forrester (B&B), Fenmore Baldwin (Y&R), Chase Jennings (Days) MAX PAGE, as Reed Hellstrom (Y&R), TERRELL RANSOM JR., as Theo Carver Barely started the show: GINA TOGNONI, as Phyllis Newman, KELLY SULLIVAN, as Sage Warner, CADY MCCLAIN, as Kelly Andrews Do these shows just throw them all against the wall and see who sticks? And OMG where is Nicolas Bechtel… Read more »
Yes! Why are Nicolas Bletchel & Hannah Nordberg missing from the list?!?!
Cady has been on Y&R since Feb. or March.
As far as the younger category, these are the people who were submitted. There was no preliminary round. For some of the shows, these are the only ones who meet the age requirements. Others obviously went with those they felt had the strongest chance.
They all are fine, but here goes my picks! Maura West-General Hospital, Finola Hughes-GH, Michelle Stafford-GH, Chad Duell-GH, Kristen Alderson-GH, Tony Geary-GH, Bryan Craig-GH, Nancy Lee Grahn-GH, Tyler Christopher-Gh, Jason Thompson-GH, Laura Wright-GH, Tequan Richmond, Haley Pullos, Lisa Locicero, Congratulations to all of the actors!
ok
I want to know who are the ”’registered, eligible peer judges.”’ ?
Sue? Are you sitting down? Because I agree with you! I get the feeling these judges haven’t seen a soap since Luke and Laura got married the first time.
Steve Burton? Sure he’s capable but hasn’t shown it yet on Y&R.
Yesterday after being hurt by Betty Crocker, he stared at a can of coffee beans with a constipated expression on his face for a full five minutes.
Harry, you have described Steve Burton to the letter. I could never find the right words, except for lumbering bear and brick wall…LOL.
Ryan Peavey should be nominated just by his looks. He reminds me of an all black Andalusian stallion…beautiful and sleek. My Gran says he looks like Zorro (Guy Williams).
@CeeCee….Your post reminded me of a character from the long-defunct “Santa Barbara”….his name was “Brick!” Perhaps that would have been a better moniker for “Dullen.” Certainly would have been befitting of SB’s “stone cold” persona, which he apparently took with him when he left Port Charles…..
Okay call me crazy but how in hell did Chrishell S get a pre-nom for playing Jordan? And why is Peggy McCay in the Lead Actress slot– other than her speech at Will and Sonny’s wedding she has done nothing outstanding this year. And it makes me cringe to see Justin H get a pre-nom for his work as Adam when he hasn’t done anything yet, while someone like James Scott who did some of his best work last year on Days isn’t even mentioned. The only explanation for such an injustice is James didn’t want to put his name… Read more »
hey Mary SF – yeah, Peggy McCay is clearly in the wrong category.
And, what a joke is Chrishell Stause (Jordan) – she will not make the final cut for supporting. No way.
I agree, Jeremy. What I wonder is …how did Jordan get from the obscure position of a lowly private therapist hired by Kate, to, now, having her own office at the free-for-all hospital where Daniel serves as every possible medical specialist known to man.
Sorry…didn’t mean to derail…LOL.
Its too early for Justin…James Scott shouldve been in there instead…i love Peggy McCay but that one doesnt make sense…your comments i agree 100%!!!
The most outstanding nominees , in any category, are, IMO; Maura West, Eileen Davidson, Michelle Stafford, Sharon Case, Camryn Grimes, Peggy McCay, Alison Sweeney ,Gina Tognoni, Constance Towers and Lisa LoCicero. ( I cannot believe Arianne Zucker was not nominated. She’s such a passionate actress…go figure.)
Let’s not forget the guys…..ANTHONY GEARY, Billy Miller, and Christian Leblanc. No one else fits the bill for me.
ITA about Chrishell & Peggy!!! I was shocked to see James Scott snubbed too! Totally agree about a younger, younger acting category. I can’t believe Kris Alderson made the list. Her acting is abysmal.
Congrats to YR’s 22 pre-noms, although Sharon Case should have been nom’d and should be up for best Actress hands down.
Also, no Don D. from BB? Also, Mishael from YR?
Can’t wait to hear what others say…
Can’t believe Mishael wasn’t on the list. Same with Vinessa Antoine, Kelly Monaco, and Becky Herbst.
Hey Pat.
YES, SC is missing from Lead Actress and I’m liking Mishael from Y&R! And where is MTS???
Pleasantly surprised Lisa LoCicero on GH made the cut-off in Supporting Actress category. She really is a bright light among a lot of gloom & doom in Port Charles. IMO Maurice Bernard had meatier scenes this year than Tyler Christopher, who made the Best Actor cut-off. Puzzling that Tony Geary, who was absent for half the year made the cut-off above Bernard. I don’t even like the Sonny character. But, really, Bernard played some intense, and funny, stuff this year. Also, Kristen Alderson is still in the “Younger Actress” category? Goodness, when will this lady graduate & be old enough… Read more »
Lol..You are SO right in everything..I was about to go off, then I read your post..Tyler, REALLY? Not a huge fan of Bernard, but he SO deserves to be in the pre nom ballot..It is nice to see Lisa on the ballot, she deserves some recognition..I love Mr. Geary for years, but kind of fed up that he gets an instant pre nom. when his work was not showcased year long but like always part time..Let your other co stars shine Mr. Geary, and withdraw your name from nomination, you got 7 emmys!!..Emmys in general and especially Daytime Emmys are… Read more »
More actors should take their cues from Candice Bergen, who declined additional nominations after she won her 5th Best Actress Emmy for MURPHY BROWN. Sometimes I think Meryl Streep should do the same considering she’s been nominated at least a total of 100 times for every single acting award on the planet. Streep even needs her own separate Wikipedia entry just for nominations and awards since it’s too long for her main biography. Yes, it’s nice to be acknowledged. But, at some point, talented people should stop needing validation that they are indeed talented.
Peggy McCay as Best Actress?
It shouldve been for best cameo…
This list makes no sense.
Totally agree with you….it is a big joke!
Sorry, Harry. Alexis does not wear a push-up bra….does not need one, as her attributes are natural…God-given. She should actually cover up some…too much to behold. Definitely not worthy of an Emmy. LOL.
Generally, push-up bras are worn by flat-chested women.
right off the cuff : Lead Actress Peggy McKay : “Caroline Brady” Alison Sweeney: “Sami Brady” Maura West : Ava Jerome clearly Maura is the front runner…. dang it tho… should not Alison be lauded for her tenure at DAYS I adore Peggy McKay tender scenes with all her knowings…. Treasure TOUGH category : Lead Actor Daniel Cosgrove : I’m so excited for him being here… he lends a mystique that’s sexiness Tyler Christopher : if the writing forwards what’s going on with him currently… he’s leading his acting emmy worthy… he’s a lot of feature Justin Hartley : he’s… Read more »
Y&R : 22 nods
B&B : 10 nods
GH : 14 nods
DAYS: 13 nods
guess which one is bloated overzealous
Y&R has least talented actors of all the soaps.. The actors of Y&R are underpar from the other 3 soaps.. Gina doesn’t hold a candle to Mura West.. Maurice outshines Eric B Nikki is under Tracy.. Morgan and Michael are leagues above Austen, Fen, and whatshisname michaels brother.. Carly is much better than Victoria everyone is better than Devon lol Patrick is better than Cain Dante is better than Stich and others Most all from every soap is better than Summer/Hunter Anna is simply the top of the heap.. No one is better than Anthony Geary/Luke .. (the Cassadines ,… Read more »
Not sure but I think Y & R has more cast. Some are just a joke to even have been nominated. What did Doug Davidson (Paul) do?? Hunter King again(Summer) their really shoving her in everyone’s face.Elizabeth Hendrickson(Chloe) she was on for all of 5 minutes at a grave site. Steve Burton (Dylan) what has he done besides pour coffee? It is sad because it takes away from the real acting. Where is Sharon Case or the little girl who plays her daughter Faith?? Very Sad
Y&R has least talented actors……………….SERIOUSLY???????
Congratulations to all the actors and actresses. Good luck to all of them. May the best performers be chosen in April!
Especially proud of Freddie Smith
I’m confused. How are B&B’s Kim Matula (“Hope”), Scott Clifton (“Liam”) and Darin Brooks (“Wyatt”) all up for supporting when clearly they have been the show’s major players for the entire year? Something’s not right there.
It’s called “strategic nominating.” Actors work with their exec producers in deciding which category to place themselves. It’s not based solely on how much screen time or “A” storylines they are in. It’s based on who they will compete against, and if they stand a better chance of winning in a “lesser” category. Certain actors would never be nominated as supporting, no matter how small their screen time (Eric Braeden, Peter Bergman, Tony Geary, Maurice Bernard, etc.)
None of them deserve lead actor Emmys though, there are much better actors on B&B (as is being showcased now with the Rick/Maya/Ridge/Caroline story) and the story they had was just subpar. The kiddie sqaud has dominated B&B for the past few years and that’s not how the show should be. No select few actors should drive all the story on any particular show, no matter how small the cast is. With actors like Jacob Young, Heather Tom, Don Diamont, Thosten Kaye, Rena Sofer, Sean Kanan, etc. in the roster, they should be utilized way more! And let’s not forget… Read more »
Where on earth is Roger Howarth?!?!
I want an answer to where is Roger Howarth, too
Roger is one of the most talented soap actors in existence..
There are none other Roger Howarth that could even attempt to play Franco, none..
Not one actor from Y&R that could be Franco
Not one actor from DOOL could portray Franco
Not one actor from B&B that could be Franco..
Only Roger Howarth has the expertise to portray the confusing layered misfit Franco..
It is madding he Roger is not nominated..
Roger is a King in the soaps..
I love Roger Howarth and always though he was a very talented actor for his work in OLTL ..But to be honest, I seen him in other roles over the years and it just seems to be a “Todd Manning Redux”, so clearly his range is limited.
Clearly the PTB @ GH, did not feel his work was not worthy of Emmy consideration and so do I..His performance of Franco is fun but not WOW, like some of his male costars!
Oh my gosh, Su. Thank you for reminding me. I completely forgot about Roger H. I could smack myself upside the head. How could I forget my Roger…my father-figure. I love him….yeeessss. He should be atop the list.
Asking myself the very same question. He had an awesome year making Franco his own and redeeming an unpopular recast. He created magic with Nina.
Maybe he didn’t submit himself to be nominated.
this can be said for, as well Roger Howarth : i’m in amazement that he’s turning Franco around… excitable! he’s a feast. James Scott : some of his press leaves me thinking he’s through with daytime and wants to marlena deitrich wants to be left alone… so done with it all. Eileen Davidson : her 2nd star turn at Days and partly at Y&R didn’t at least net supporting? the mere fact that the executive producers from whatever network may have mandated that they have to submit…. like CBS IE: overzealous and seems like some left it up to the… Read more »
Tyler Christopher as a Lead Actor, but no Maurice Benard or Roger Howarth? That’s a bizarre selection to say the least. I love Tyler, but no way has he been a Lead Actor at any time in the past year on GH. Maurice and Roger should definitely be on the list. Unless neither submitted their name, which I can’t imagine that they wouldn’t. Those are the two glaring names missing. Other than that, the other thing that stands out to me is they should really just change the name of these from The Emmy Awards to The Young and the… Read more »
Kathleen Gatti GH should’ve made the supporting list!!
Wholeheartedly AGREE!
@Joel….Amen to that! KG is the ultimate example of a truly talented supporting actress, and it is an absolute travesty that her consistently fine performances have repeatedly been overlooked for consideration. (Sadly, I think “The Krampus” ate her nomination….) And yet, once again, the monotonous antics of NLG’s Alexis have been recognized….the only category I would nominate her for would be “least supported” actress, for the most unabashed and shameless use of one’s cleavage.
And Shay, best supporting actress should go to Alexis’s push up bra.
Yes, Joel. I forgot her also. What’s wrong with me and “THEM”?…LOL. Kathleen is so unique…she does deserve, at least, a nomination.
Agree – she was robbed as were Roger H. (Franco) and Jimmy D. (Rafe) among others. Just not enough slots to go around I guess.
I think out of 11 slots, GH did quite well securing 4 slots (Nancy, Finola, Lisa, Michelle). I believe Kelly Monaco submitted her work, too. And, I have a feeling that Kathleen Gati didn’t submit. Isn’t Kathleen on recurring status? I think contracted actors are able to be submitted.
Yes, Roger Howarth is a glaring omission. Furthermore, Finola Hughes should be in the Lead category since she not only supported, but is a most central character on the show and drove storyline. She, like Maura West always brings it to every scene. As a matter of fact, GH is an embarrasment of riches in the acting department despite the often quirky storylines written for the actors. There sure seems to be a lot of fluff and clutter pre-noms coming from CBS, specifically Y&R. I wish Sharon Case would pack her bags and return to GH as “presumed dead” Dawn… Read more »
What no Roger Howarth!!!! 🙁 Boo
Everyone from Days of Our Lives should move on to the next level! But then I am biased in favor of Days. The show does seem to dominate in the Young Actor category. I think Freddie will win. I would be very surprised if he didn’t.
What is the difference between Lead and Supporting?
And why is Freddie in the Younger Actor category. Couldn’t squeeze him in anywhere else? Embarrassing. He should have had a nod last year for his 2013 performances. Then it would have made sense.
I think Freddie is in the Younger Actor category to give him a better chance of winning. I believe there a “favorites” in the Lead and Supporting Actor categories based on popularity. Establishing a third category allows more “favorites” to win an Emmy in any given year.
If Chandler Massey had not been in the Younger Actor category, would he have won three Emmys. Maybe not. He may have been nominated three times, but he may not have won at all. That is opinion.
How is Nikolas Cassadine a lead role? Really?
With the direction his story is heading in now, I wouldn’t be surprised is Tyler Christopher is up for an Emmy again next year – with a real shot of winning. He is consistently a solid actor, he just hasn’t had any Emmy-worthy material yet.
Really? They gonna diss my KeMo & Becky & Maurice like that?
Maurice at the very least deserved a nom. He acted his a** off all year and was front burner every week.
Except that he stumbles through his lines, Nick. He looks to the heavens for his next line, and for guidance. He just seems so lost, sometimes. Just saying…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t the actors &/or their management choose whether to submit in “leading” or “supporting”? It seems I remember mention of some choosing “supporting” to get a better edge? As usual, half the noms are obvious, the other half make no sense. They are good actors, but if all of these Y&R newbies, Gina T., Kelly S, Justin H can be nominated after only their 1st 2 wks then Billy Miller can as well for his LAST 2 wks there! I hope he wins the whole category, though GH’s Jason T’s past due. Maurice Benard… Read more »
You are correct about how the actors are chosen for which categories. It’s really not up to the Daytime Emmy Nominating Committees. It’s the decision of the actors and the soap executives into which category they submit their work.
Spencer Cassadine should have gotten a younger actor nod as should have Rafe from GH.
I agree. I love little Spenser. I think we are seeing a great actor in the making. So cute, this kid is!!
Kelly Monaco submitted her best scene yet when she found out Jason was alive and Didn’t make the list, this is clearly some injustice. Considering the final date for submission of reels was November 24th and Justin Hartley debuted as Adam Newman on November 4, it only takes 20 days to get a pre-nom????? Oh shocks for those who have worked their buts off the entire year, like James Scott (EJ) with his affair with Kate Mansi (Abigail) Sharon Case (Sharon) with her secret story with Joshua Morrow (Nick) Nicholas Bechtel (Spencer) who has given outstanding performance! Kelly Sullivan is… Read more »
Michael, as you say, this was Monaco’s best scene yet. Exactly!! I noticed that and posted my opinion. The point is, it was the ONLY scene where the viewer saw some oomph from this passive actress. Her acting is consistently boring.
Perhaps it seems as an injustice to you since she is a long-time resident of PC. But, KM elicits no reaction of admiration from me. Personally, there are others more deserving than she.
There are so many glaring omissions from this list. Where are Roger Howarth, Maurice Benard, James Scott, Jen Lilley, Rebecca Herbst, Kelly Monaco, Sharon Case? The list goes on of who could (and should) have made these categories.
Yet, people like Chrishell Stause, Peggy McCay, John McCook, Jessica Collins and TRUE O’BRIEN make the list?!
Justin Hartley, Gina Tognoni, Kelly Sullivan are also here but they haven’t been on nearly enough to warrant these nominations. They’re all good actors but they’ve only been with Y&R for a few months.
A lot of head scratchers – even more than in past years.
Stafford as a “supporting actress?” Give me a break….from the moment she was imposed upon the GH canvas, she monopolized that show for months on end with her trademark high-strung over-melodramatics. It was always about HER first and foremost, much to the detriment of other far more deserving characters and actors….there was nothing supporting about her….The only reason she was slotted into this category was because she didn’t have a prayer of competing against the likes of MW’s Ava Jerome, and the showrunners couldn’t have that.
Yep.
Yesterday Franco injected himself with LSD and he seemingly went insane. He looked at Michelle Stafford and saw her as some reptilian monster and he started screaming. I have never seen Franco more sane.
Now, now, Harry. That’s not very nice. LOL. Are you saying you don’t like Michelle either? I think I’m going to cry.
I love it!…..You’re on a roll, Harry! It’s as if my posts on this thread were directly speaking to you! Thanks for your always clever responses, both here and above…..
Shay, with respect, I’m confused. You talk about Michelle Stafford monopolizing the show, and up staging other cast members. But then a few posts above, you talk about how great Kathleen Gati is, and I wholeheartedly agree with you there. I think she’s wonderful. But if you’re gonna talk about Michelle monopolizing the show, how can the same then not apply to the Kathleen, who brought us “The Krampus” and “Willkommen” at the Nurses Ball? I’d say both women are excellent actresses with characters that do have an affinity for chewing scenery on occasion, or sometimes very often, lol. But… Read more »
@Dan…..Thank you for your reply. I can understand your confusion when you analyze my statements regarding KG and MS…on the surface they may seem contradictory, but not from my perspective. While my beloved Dr. O. does occasionally have her day in the spotlight, and savors it for all it’s worth, one must remember that Ms. Gati is above all else, a “supporting actress” in every sense of the word. She began on GH in relative obscurity and in a small, VERY small, capacity, yet made such a positive impression upon Anthony Geary—and many others–that she was invited back again and… Read more »
ok
Peoples..
I believe the actors nominate themselves for this stupid award, and that is probably why many did not enter and did not want to play this stupid game..
so- who are the judges, names..?
I think the Emmys are a joke. Definitely politics and popularity contest. KKL reminds me of La Lucci. Sho keeps nominating herself hoping that if she keeps trying, they might hand her that pity Emmy. As long as Susan Flannery was on B&B, no one else from the show stood a chance. Ironically when Susan stopped submitting, along came Heather Tom who had already won multiple times for other shows and is going to block KKL because she’s just a better actress. I think they need another way to pick nominees. Some of the best people don’t get nominated
Kelly a Monaco deserves an Emmy for showing up to work every day. JMO.
For best actress the only obvious winner is Alison Sweeney for her amazing final year as Sami Brady DiMeara. She showed her chops this year. I was impressed because she usually overacts but this time she carried it home. Second in line is Maura West as Ava Jerome. This woman is flawless. Maybe a tie would be great. For best actor – simply put – Billy Miller deserves everything he is nominated for. There is not one actor in that category who has as much talent as Mr. Miller. If Billy doesn’t win, I believe Anthony Geary should take it… Read more »
hey Mateo – very good write-ups!
I’m with you for a TIE between Alison Sweeney and Maura West.
They both EQUALLY deserve that award.
As I don’t watch Y&R, I’ve only read great things about Billy Miller as ex-Billy. I’m loving Billy Miller on GH. So, for lead actor, I’d actually prefer to see Billy Miller take the win for Y&R, next up Anthony Geary.
I’m also all for Blake Berris, Michelle Stafford, and Bryan Craig.
I’ve read great things about Camryn Grimes, maybe she’ll take the win, and I love Freddie Smith but he does seem to give safe performances.
