For me this is the strongest category this year. I so want Chandler Massey to win and I loved his scene the most – achingly beautiful work. My solace will be that he already has 3 Emmys! Paul Telfer is my 2nd choice; he has a very varied Emmy reel with lots of different colors, where Chandler’s is all from the one prison episode where he and Sonny consider getting a divorce. (btw, Freddie Smith ought to have been nominated too – he submitted the same episode).

I dislike the character Valentin intensely but James Patrick Stuart is excellent in the role. I am also not a Devon fan but Bryton James may have an advantage in sentiment over Kristoff’s (and Neil’s) death. Wally Kurth has the great scene of visiting Will in prison but Chandler is great in that scene too – the rest of Wally’s reel underwhelms me personally. Mark Grossman is a remarkable newcomer but he belongs in the Best Actor category imo.

I am wondering aloud if the disjointed reels from James Patrick Stuart and Paul Telfer – both show their range but they don’t tell just one story – might harm their chances? Is it better to just tell one story? Three chose various scenes from a single story, with Chandler choosing one episode only (Dec. 16th). We will know when the winner is announced!

I have no idea who will win but I am hoping it will be either Chandler Massey or Paul Telfer.

Are the full reels posted somewhere?

Ooh, tough, tough, tough. I stand by my earlier comment that Paul Telfer deserves it. But based on the clip, I’m surprised to say I think James Patrick Stuart has the strongest reel — someone I didn’t even consider originally.

THIS is thee bang of the nite !!!! where it lands… who knows???? I just hope that because Devon is emoting over this character father death… that convincingly enough, it may take. certainly not for his body of work.

nuADAM are you serious ? I haven’t read one iota on the actors presence. Nada. you certainly can’t help but believe he’s no where near in the same stratosphere as Michael Muhney, AND Justin Hartley. these are shameless plugs by Y&R

Jason Patrick Stuart is my lover man. yeah, I go their. along with his direct demeanor, zeal, passion, he’s the go to man when the dullard men , of Sonny, Franco, Finn, Peter, Michael, Jason… endless list of blah so to see “Valentin” would be appreciated…I want you or Xander. to WIN

I think it will go to Stuart or Telfer.

For my money, no one can touch Paul Telfer. He has it all! It goes without saying that he has great looks and physique, but he also has the acting chops!

When your portrayal of a villain can seamlessly morph into a multifaceted, strong but flawed, romantic lead with much rooting value, you’re doing something right. Thanks to the expert performances by Telfer, he has gone from evoking sneers to eliciting tears and cheers!

Cheers, Paul Telfer! Cheers!

Watching the clip package, they all did excellent work. But I’m rooting for James Patrick Stuart.

I would say Paul Telfer. He runs the gamut from punk, criminal, pathetic, romantic, caring,sympathetic, loving, etc. It would take more than one clip to show his chops.I wish him luck though

rest Chandler Massey : this is far and away : the biggest bang of the nite

Greg Vaughn WON deserved , two years ago; he’s that Good

Paul Telfer, Xander
Wally Kurth, Justin
Chandler Massey, Will

nuAdam; Devon With ; without quality, no ring

Telfer, along, with; Lindsey Godfrey, AND Stacy Haiduk, enormous response; to qualifying; out bid Eileen Davidson… Hey, i’m on

I’ve belled Xander … he would be thee NEWBIE elect to move on; in this late genre; he spins; for his contribution along with Lindsey and Stacy.. with the Kiriakis’ strong golden

Wally Kurth , is marriage material, for me to point out LUSTS, is beholden , he must WIN for both shows’ SALUTE! God he’s “good” it’s dark … you got it

i’m Grandma Marlena to Will’ Chandler Massey: he’s grown up left my nest; he’s hot LOVE the beard

you saved a genre, SHOW, quality stuff, boffo thank You Live on my friend

I’ve belled and whistled Paul Telfer… for so long now… i’m shamelessly thrilled that his returns are being Lauded by the fan base. Hey… just as much as I’ve stood behind Jeffrey Vincent Parise… his nomination , for Y&R, guest stint…. emmied for 2 shows… yeah he’s got scrotum

Bryton was so good all year round & his Emmy reel is outstanding. I was crying along with him! I hope he or Paul win. Paul’s growth as Xander was amazing! Wally Kurth is average on a routine basis & his reel is underwhelming at times.

Who should win? James Patrick Stewart. Honourable mention to Bryton James, who did his best with Y&R’s awful writing, and Paul Telfer, who somehow made us root for Xander.
Who will win? Chandler Massey.

George Cheeks, CBS President & CEO, on Timeline to Launch New Daytime Drama, ‘The Gates’: “We’re So Focused on Getting it Right”

March 2024 will be remembered in the TV and soap world when the news broke that CBS is prepping a brand new daytime drama. Many had thought a major network would never bring a new daytime soap into the world, given that the last time it was attempted was 25 years ago when the now defunct Passions bowed on NBC.

However, The Gates is definitely in development and moving forward with some major players associated with it including: Michele Val Jean as The Gates writer, showrunner and one of its executive producers, and Sheila Ducksworth from NAACP Venture

Now, for the first time since its announcement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer for news and sports at Paramount+, spoke on the project that will feature a Black family as its central focus who live in a wealthy gated community.

Speaking with Vulture, and when asked if The Gates is really something that truly has a chance of getting on the air, Cheeks clarified, “It’s super real. And just to give you a little bit of the backstory,  when we hired Sheila Ducksworth to run the NAACP Venture, she and I had multiple meetings talking about what different genres she was going to lean into, and we talked a lot about daytime.”

Cheeks added, “One of the things that the data made very clear to both of us is that daytime soap operas over index with Black women, and yet when you look at soap operas, it’s usually sort of a white-led family with supporting characters that reflect more of our society. So we just thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to flip that and make the core anchor family a Black family, and then make the other characters reflect more the broader scope of society?”

The CEO gave props to Michele Val Jean,  and how Ducksworth came to the table with the former B&B and GH writer. “She found this great writer, Michele Val Jean, who’s been in the soap opera space for 30 years. She came up with a pitch, and we loved it,” shares Cheeks. “We brought Procter & Gamble into it as well, because if there were going to be (product) integrations, we could do it more holistically and organically. All of that is to say, we did a lot of work on the front end to put this together. So while yes, it’s development, it’s accelerated development.”

When prodded on the timeline of when The Gates could come to full fruition, Gates related, “The actual timeline and when we’re going to do it is still uncertain, because we want to get this right. I mean, there hasn’t been a new soap opera launch since I can’t even begin to tell you when. But we have great success with Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless, and so we think we’re the right folks to be launching a new soap. I wish I could tell you more about exact timing, but we’re so focused on getting it right, and that will dictate when we’re ready to launch it.”

The CBS exec also shared that whether The Gates will wind up an hour soap or half-hour is not yet determined, but that it is being developed as an hour show.

So, after reading what George Cheeks, the CBS President & CEO had to say about ‘The Gates’, are you even more excited for what looks to the first new network soap in 25 years? Comment below.

Robyn Bernard, ‘General Hospital’s’ Terry Brock, Dead at 64

Former General Hospital star, Robyn Bernard, who played aspiring singer Terry Brock has died. She was 64-years-old.

Bernard’s body was found Tuesday in San Jacinto, California. A Riverside County Coroner told TMZ they identified the actress’ body using her fingerprints after deputies responded to a death investigation call on Tuesday March 12th.

Sources told the outlet that Bernard’s body was found in the wee hours of the morning. The cause of death has yet to be determined.

Bernard joined General Hospital back in 1984 as Terry Brock, the daughter of the abusive D.L. Brock (played by David Groh). Robyn remained on the ABC soap opera for six years before making her exit in 1990. At one point, Terry’s stepmother would become Bobbie Spencer (the late Jackie Zeman) when the nurse married her father.

Terry was involved in the Laurelton Murders storyline and after first setting her sights on Frisco Jones, wound up with killer Kevin O’Connor. Later, Terry was blamed for several murders and in the end killed Kevin in self-defense. In addition, Terry had a relationship with Dusty Walker played by none other than Shaun Cassidy.  She eventually left Port Charles after landing her own recording contract.

The last time GH Fans may have seen Bernard was in 2014, when she appeared at the GH Fan Club Weekend Past Cast event. Robyn is pictured below with the late Susan Brown (ex-Gail) at the fan gathering. She has been out of the limelight for several years.
