Still pissed Lindsey Godfrey wasn’t in this category. She hit it out of the park with her scenes as DAYS’ Sarah finding out the baby she thought was hers wasn’t her baby at all and that her real baby had died.
Those scenes you’re talking about aired this year. These emmys are for work that aired in 2019.
That happened this year. Lindsey should and probably will get nominated if she submits this.
Those scenes weren’t eligible but will be next year for 2020.
I meant to say for next year
I hope the guys who responded to my comment are right…it would be a real heartbreak if Lindsey wasn’t recognized for her work when she did those scenes. I was left totally stunned because of how she packed that punch when she was portraying Sarah’s emotions
Good luck Christel Khalil, you were excellent.
With the exception of Rebecca Budig, it’s hard to predict who will win? All did fantastic.
I agree. I truly am perplexed by Rebecca Budig’s inclusion. Also: both Budig and Khalil were short-term guest performers imo.
As much as Susan Seaforth Hayes would be a sentimental favorite and this is by far Christel Khalil’s strongest work ever, based on the clip above, Tamara Braun comes out ahead. What a gorgeous scene. The emotion feels so honest and not a bit overplayed.
I agree. Tamara Braun deserves to win. But it’s hard to figure out the panelists decision-making – the makeup of the panel is really important and we don’t know it’s composition. I have no idea who is going to win in this category!
This is impossible to predict. I am rooting for Tamara Braun and I enjoyed Susan Seaforth Hayes’s submission as well. Christel Khalil is a guest performer and since she could draw on her real life feelings about Kristoff she has an advantage. Annika Noelle had one great episode for her Emmy reel but I don’t care for her character at all and she doesn’t deliver consistently as an actress, often giving lackluster performances. I am perplexed by Rebecca Budig’s nomination and see her as the only nominee who I give no chance of winning to her. IDK who will win but the scenes where Kim was preparing and then dealing with Oscar’s death were the best from any of these five actresses and I would certainly choose her for this particular Emmy. My real choice is Suzanne Rogers, but I don’t think she submits for recognition.
@GH : Tamara Braun. General Hospital fired/let go their best
coulda woulda shoulda : Kim / Elizabeth / Britta / Terri. herald in a new generation, FANS, a new leading lady status @ hospital. doldrum state… of DULL . Carly AND Sam . unforgivable… sorry state of a show… bring back Tony to close this show out
ANY ONE MISSING Jake Doe w/Liz And/or the pulsating trigger of Kim right about now, ala Drew ? Brita w/Julian FIRE ! HOTTED OUT Terri was in line… leading the way.
Rebecca Budig : never caught with me. the only thing good about this.. LESS Michael Easton.. GOD what is he doing… are they seriously still having him schlep with Finola? Woah on this. i’m not watching the trio of Anna/Finn/Peter… PLEASE ! Nevertheless FAN alike , like this woman… so yeah, if it smarts on any of the Executive producer and sorry ass writer.. so be it. Tamara Braun AND Rebecca Budig…. these leads were all cylinder
nothing to add ever about @Lilly Young and the restless… BORING !
whomever the preggers @B&B… 4 shows plug. liken to oh so tired Heather Tom… what in gods name is another emmy to you. ? give us all a break.
Susan Seaforth Haye: Ms. Days of OUR Lives… cover of Time magazine … lifetime achievement laud last year or two ? deserved… consistent.. sure, why not.
Ms. Tamara Braun for the WIN … I LOVE HER
OH ; I am CERTAINLY taken: STUPID GH my vent; on me
wasted Life : Jeffrey Vincent Parise, NOMINATED for an emmy, again;

Love’ still
Mine
I am most certainly looking FORWARD to next year’ laud:

Stacy Haiduk
both eloquent fired w/passion muchos gusto LEADING and/or Supporting CAST share
as I like to share… the men folk @DAYS “know” the inside “humor” of sexy good looks machismo SUPPORTING the show with their leading ladies… dag this show fires
the likes of Eric / Brady / Xander / Victor / John you name it the men ran with these two… PLUS their LOVE for Mickey/Rachel. WOW tears like a waterfall.. heart wrench please
I enjoy almost all of these actresses, but I’m 100% rooting for Susan Seaforth Hayes to win. Her performance was sooo true to life. It was subtle in various ways and made me feel I was right there with her and her husband. She demonstrated, yet again, that she is willing to let it all go and be in the moment. Brilliantly done!
Between Christel and Susan…
Who should win? This is a tough category. I would love to se Christel Khalil win in a year where Lily finally found her voice and Christel finally escaped Daniel Goddard as a scene partner and was able to act freely without that skeezy jackass sucking all the oxygen out of their scenes. Honourable mention to Budig and Braun, who were great too.
Who will win? Annika Noelle, with a slight chance that Susan Seaforth Hayes will steal it.
