I watch both shows so it doesnt matter to me which one wins…lol
CONGRATS to both General Hospital and Days of our Lives !!
General Hospital’s writing has been suburb !! outstanding!
Days of our Lives, I have not watched but-
Its’ fans speak highly of their soap so no doubt the writing of Days of our Lives has also been good..
good luck to both 🙂
days all the way
General Hospital of course.
It speaks volumes that when there are only four soaps left, two of them don’t make the cut for a nomination. B&B, in particular, recycles tired stories and tries to pass off exotic locations as a storyline. I’m glad WGA didn’t reward them with a nomination. Brad Bell may be good at giving his audience pretty people in pretty settings, but he can’t write a decent story to save his life. Y&R was a mess all year and just fired its HW. What’s B&B’s excuse?
Agreed and agreed. When was the last time that B&B actually told an original story? I’m three weeks behind & don’t feel any rush to try to catch up. Sad when there are now so few choices to watch.
THANK YOU WRITERS my #GH & #DAYS.Deserve to win! Thank you Michael for letting us know!!
Good to cite GH and DAYS. They are the best among the four soaps remaining. GH may not always be my cup of tea, but darn! Those writers can tell tall tales and keep that supersoap cast in motion, spinning like plates. And with a nod to history. I just wish we would not rely so on resurrections and baby-stealing. DAYS remains old-fashioned in its storytelling but oh, the suspense and buildup and dialogue those characters say (especially in the heat of the moment!). There remains a strong sense of humanity is Salem this latecomer to the proceedings has come… Read more »
@ Iakovos way to go on the marquee for both shows it could be any day of the week. when one against the other just fulfills and takes first these two above and beyond take over the CBS shows I have to pull from your DAYS cull : “… DAYS remains old-fashioned in its storytelling ” I don’t know that the numbers 3 and 4 respectively will ever overtake… CBS #1 and #2… but that’s because of mindset … days and GH have never lost their or wavered less than the audience take they’ve both maintained their draw… and it’s… Read more »
And I think the Writers Guild has more cred than the Emmy nominators. That is why I am so pleased with how this is going. Thanks for the comments, Patrick. Maybe GH and DAYS will rise up, huh? I am doing my best to make that happen. Will admit I follow the other two and watch them some. Y&R was once my favorite. I miss ATWT the most.
CONGRATS TO GENERAL HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They DESERVE TO Win For This Too
Since They Were Shunned At The 2014 Daytime Emmy Award WHICH WAS A TRAIN WRECK…. Because They Didn’t Give General Hospital And Equal Fair Chance To Win Anything
It Was All About Jill Farren SOAP OPERA KILLER Phelps
I Am GLAD That The Young And The Restless WAS NOT NOMINATED
That Show (Y and R) And Jill Farren Phelps Don’t Deserve Another Damn Award.
I am a big fan of Days of Our Lives. It should win big.
Way to go “GH”s Ron Carlivati and Crew, You guys are totally awesome, keep it up…
Now I wish We could have Laura(Genie) and steal Greg Vaughan from “Days” and bring Him back as Our Lucky!!!
Hope You win Ron, and keep up the great work…
Glad to see GH finally getting some recognition for the tremendous work they’ve been doing. A very well deserved nomination! Hopefully the Emmys will follow suit when those nominations come out in the spring.
Great news for Days of our Lives and General Hospital!!
Congrats to both but I am a Days Fan all the way <3
Congrats!! 🙂
I have never seen general hospital
I love days though. Have been watching on and off for 30+ years
It’s reallyr nice to see a thread where all the comments are overwhelmingly positive! Congratulations to all involved in both shows – good to see that there is some positive recognition for all the hard work put in to these long running and great shows.
Love both shows & both are winners to me. Congrats & good luck.
Days of OUR Lives supplants and steers trigger
enigmatic imagination wild one hour of dream
quality ON
OF COURSE YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT I ALWAYS WILL PICK GH. THEY’VE ALWAYS BEEN THE BEST IN MY EYES, AND ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE THEIR AN EXTENDED FAMILY. THAT’S HOW MUCH I’M ADDITED TOWARDS GH. THANKS FOR SHARING AND KEEP US UP TO DATE. THANKS AGAIN.
I love General Hospital, primarily due to most of the brilliant cast members, but I feel the show is all over the place, too many characters, subplots. Days has more structure, and surprisingly I care about the characters more on Days. My vote is for DAYS!
I guess congrats to both. I don’t watch GH but hear good things about it. I hate to rain on the parade, but as a long-time DOOL fan, I thought I had to comment. DAYS right now is awful! I have no idea how they were nominated for the award!! Their current storylines are a mess and really boring. The vets are underutilized while dull newbies keep coming onto the canvas. Jordan & Rafe’s relationship was super boring; no doubt she’s better with Chad. But the thing is, we’ve been waiting for her secret to come out for over a… Read more »
John is coming back for Christmas and so is Kimberly! Also, Doug and Julie are going to have a storyline!!!
