Tough choice. All were amazing episodes. The Soap Fans Win!
Sharon on Y&R is the winner in by book!
I agree Sharon all the way! Winner winner! Love her!
OLTL’s it was towards the end and it was a wow, edge of your seat drama..I remember being at work and ticked off cause I couldnt get out of there fast enough and diner had to wait till I the end then after diner I sat down and rewatched,,,,I havent been that into a s/l since…..very good scenes
I would agree that OLTL should win, but even the two OLTL episodes nominated were so good IMO it would be a tough choice. I still miss OLTL.
Oops, my bad. The Larry Carpenter directed epi was for GH, not OLTL. But a great episode in my book.
I would like OLTL win also!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I still miss OLTL also!!!!
Sharon Case for best actress all the way Young and the Restless
This is an article about writing, not acting. What does Sharon have to do with this?
I want Sharon Newman aka Sharon Case for the best actress this year! she has gone so far and beyond. She is awesome! 🙂
Sharon Case is not a writer.
Where is Young and the Restless? Sharon Case is the winner for that show. She has been put through so much and she came out on top!
Again, this is about writing…NOT acting.
Ummm Y&R? I get it the show is so boring now but still Sharon is my all time favorite and she did a out of this park acting job this past year! way to go Sharon S still wish Victoria Rowell as Drucilla was aloud back! It would save the show.
The Directors Guild of America awards are not for best actors/acting, but for the directing of scenes/stories…
GH will win.. The directing this year was impacting , awesome..
I enjoy Sharon Case’s acting too, but these are DIRECTORS Guild of America awards. I don’t believe actors are nominated, unless I missed something.
You didn’t miss anything. People just can’t seem to stay on topic on these boards and it drives me a little crazy!
Mitwell – OLTL!
DITTO!!!!
Which episode was “Shot through the heart” on GH. I guessed the others
What was “Bad Water” episode about?
Congratulations!
“Between Heaven and Hell” which, if I’m not mistaken was the original title of “One Life to Live” should win. That episode was full of honesty, humor, history, and heartbreak.
I agree with you TOTALLY!
Michael, which director/directing team do you think should win for best episode?
I hope when the daytime awards come around Sharon Case will win. I am sure and this will be her second Emmy win!
CONGRATULATIONS TO MY JILL! (Jill Mitwell “Between Heaven and Hell” ONE LIFE TO LIVE) One of the most caring, creative, collaborative, inexhaustible directors I know, and with whom I had the privilege of beginning my career as Kelly Nelson on Guiding Light, continuing through THIS EPISODE on ONE LIFE TO LIVE– which aired January 2012. Richly deserved. I am so proud and happy. Actors: ALWAYS try it her way; more often than not, you will find your fiercely defended choices (lol) melt before her brilliance. 😉 jws
OMG! THE JWS? Loved (to hate) you “Eddie Ford”. Jill Mitwell & OLTL all the way. Congrats on the nomination. You rocked it!
And thank you, Michael, as always, for keeping us up-to-the minute. jw
The ‘HEAVEN AND HELL’ was soap opera at its best. That one episode was for better than a year of B&B incestuous sstorylines. Jill Mitwell must win, since I do not watch GH.
One Life To Live “Between Heaven and Hell” must win that was hands down one of the greatest soap episodes EVER!!! And easily the best in this list. There were so many layers to it and the things done in this were absolutely ground breaking. From the way characters were faced with former evil enemies taunting them about there pasts to when the characters fought back sent those evildoers to hell and escaped. One Life To Live was nearing end and brought great homage to the shows history in which the show was originally called “Between Heaven and Hell” so… Read more »
