You forgot Christian LeBlanc who had the first character centered episode (the best one of all 3 IMO). He won the Emmy for the episode.
Yeah, I think Michael’s ep was first, then Billy, who also won an Emmy, and Victor was last year. I look forward to Friday’s ep. I think it’ll be great. Why hasn’t Melody won an Emmy???
Looks good. Good that they gave this one to her after what they did to her this year. I don’t watch the show but i’ll have to watch this one.
I am OVERJOYED that my fave, MTS, is FINALLY GETTING HER DUE!! What a thrilling week for her and her fans…. today’s wonderful appearance on “The Talk”, leading up to her big, one-woman show on Friday’s Y&R! It’s a dream come true. Surely, the Emmy’s this year will belong to Melody Thomas Scott; I can’t think of a more deserving performer this year. She is back in a VERY BIG WAY! Congratulations to her – and Y&R for pulling their head out!
looking forward to see how Melody handles this episode. I hope she does a great job.She has had some bad episodes where I didn’t like her acting.
i guess tiic & tptb gave her this for the awful way they treated her………..smh
Beautiful……………..There better be an emmy nomination and win for her next year!!!!! This woman is WAY LONG overdue!!!
Looking forward to this Christmas present from Genoa City. I hope it is a real bridge to character change and plot development for Nikki and others and not a quick stunt from which lessons learned and promises made are so easily forgotten. Regardless, how wonderful to have an hour focussed on Melody Thomas Scott. Amen!
I loved the Christmas episode with Nikki’s guardian angel coming to see her…I am only hoping they will allow her to be sober for awhile before something else sets her back…..she is so good at what she does….
