Did they get an actual award or certificate?

Good choices for Cynthia and Mark!

Well, congratulations to Cynthia Watros. No matter whether you love or hate Nina, Cynthia’s acting provokes an emotional reaction in every scene. And that’s what acting is about. Glad to see her get this honor.

I hope she wins the Daytime Emmy for 2023! (:

So happy for Cynthia! She really deserves this for all she has had to put up with these writers making her the town punching bag. So glad this award did not go to Laura( Carly’s the person everyone would want to be friends with) Wright.

Can’t wait to see what Patrick Mulcahey has in store for this terrific actress!!

Cynthia Watros more than deserved both awards! Her performances as Nina Corinthosis one of the biggest reasons I have been glued to GH.

Yes So happy for Cynthia She deserves all honors She is such a great actress and I love watching her act She is the best

Congrats Mark Grossman!
He’s the best Adam and one of the most captivating actors on Y n R! He just makes Adam so devilishly fun to watch when he s mischievous and commands attention in all his scenes. He’s the rare bright light

First, congratulations to all the winners and nominees. Second, what are the Goldies Awards and who presents them? I’ve never heard of them.

The Goldies awards have been in existence for 21 years. Readers/members of goldderby.com vote for the nominees in the first round (there were 37 actresses who were cited in the Supporting Actress category this year!) and the top five (six if there is a tie for fifth place) are the nominees that we vote for in the second round of voting. The Goldies are always held in January, when the previous calendar year is fresh in voters’ minds (unlike the Emmys that take forever to nominate and decide!).

We have a full winner’s list from our 21 years up at the top of the Daytime TV section on the site. We discuss all of the daytime dramas daily and anyone is welcome to join us!

What a nice surprise! I administer the awards. It is our 21 annual Goldies awards. We do our nominations round in early January and then vote for our winners. Consider participating next January!!!!

One of the most interesting things that happened within the voting this year was in the Best Actress category: Melody Thomas Scott squeaked in to the fifth slot for Best Actress (in the nominations round) and in the second round of voting she climbed up to second place! (:

Days came in 2nd in all 5 of the behind the scenes categories, with Y&R in 3rd, and B&B in 4th place.

As The World Turns

Jon Lindstrom and Cady McClain Announce They Have Ended Their Marriage

After much speculation, General Hospital’s Jon Lindstrom (Kevin) and Cady McClain (ex-Jennifer, DAYS, ex-Rosanna, ATWT, ex-Dixie, AMC et al) have officially confirmed and announced they have gone their separate ways and have ended their marriage.

For months on social media, it was clear that the two were seemingly apart, not appearing pictured in any of each others posts.

Now, on a mutually shared Instagram post, Jon and Cady made an official statement on the status of their relationship, beginning with “Cady and Jon here. We are taking this opportunity to make a short statement about our relationship status. It may be obvious to some based on our posts that we’ve taken some time apart. After serious consideration we have decided that our goals have been taking us in different directions and to end our marriage.”

As to the future, Jon and Cady explained, “We remain friends and wish each other every happiness. As people who work in the public eye, it can be difficult to have a private life. Regardless, we ask for your kind consideration in this matter.”

Jon and Cady met when they both appeared on As the World Turns, he as Craig Montgomery, and she as Rosanna Cabot. After four years together, the couple decided to get married in 2014.

Share your well-wishes for Jon and Cady’s separate futures as they ask for privacy on this matter in the months ahead via the comment section below.

Nikolas Cassadine will be back on your screens next week but now via Pentonville. That means, that actor Adam Huss is back for a visit for all-new episodes of General Hospital.

In story, Ava (Maura West) comes to visit her ex in the slammer. So, just what does Ava want now? She clearly has been working an agenda on Sonny (Maurice Benard). Is she working with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart)? What will she tell Nikiolas? stay tuned.

Meanwhile, once news of Huss’ return broke earlier on Friday via Soap Opera Digest, he also announced his return on his Instagram expressing, “For all those who’ve been asking, cat’s out of the bag;) Thank you to all my #Nikolas #GH fans for your unwavering support. I don’t take it for granted for a second! (Even when I can’t answer 😊) #generalhospital”

Huss took over the role of Nikolas back in January of 2023, after Marcus Coloma left the soap opera. Previous to that, Huss filed in for Coloma in September of 2021 and November of 2022. Fast-forward to January of 2024, Nikolas gave Ace to Laura and Kevin to raise, while he eventually turned himself into the police for kidnapping Esme and keeping her hostage while she was pregnant and Wyndemere.

The return of Huss comes on the heels of multiple reports that his on-screen son, Nicholas Chavez is not returning to the show as Spencer Cassadine, while in story Spencer is believed to have drowned int the Seine River after falling off a boat in France, when drugged by Esme.

So, looking forward to seeing Adam Huss back as Nikolas? Do you think GH will eventually have him more full-time? Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other

The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.

Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).

When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.

Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.

What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.
