Here are who I think were the best and worst.

Best younger actor goes to Zack Conroy. Conroy in particular did some very subtle, laid back acting w/c isn’t common in Daytime. If he was on Y&R, he would be engulfed by the graduates of the Christian Leblanc School of Scene Chewing. Conroy is a good actor, so it’s terrible that he’s supporting awful actors like Clifton and Frantz, since Scamber is once again, sadly driving storylines. Oliver should be driving storylines since Conroy is attractive and the better actor.

Best younger actress goes to Kim Matula. She’s no Jennifer Finnigan, but she owns JMW and Frantz. Matula and Conroy should be nominated by the B&B cast.

Best slapfest goes to Stephanie’s double slap. “That was for Bridget! That was for Hope!” Hilarious, campy, melodramatic, fun, soapy moment. And Brooke looked like she hit her head after the second slap. LOL. Flannery’s best acting is when Steph is a strong, antagonistic bitch.

Best reveal goes to The Party Boink. Oliver realizing it was Brooke and not Hope was typical B&B. However, the follow thru was awful since Brooke thought Oliver was Ridge and B&B did not write a Ridge/Brooke/Oliver/Hope quad.

Best recast goes to Maura West as Diane. Subtle acting from Maura is a good contrast to all the histrionic acting on Y&R from Bergman, Stafford, etc.

Worst moments are more in number than best.

Worst death goes to Franco on GH. That trainwreck of course landed on The Soup.

Worst paternity storyline goes to Liam/Bill Junior. The bickering was so cringeworthy. It was meant to be comedic, but the acting was so awful from Diamont and Clifton. They should have scrapped this idea, and let Bill Junior have an unmentioned kid arrive in LA since Bill Junior was also a never mentioned Spencer. Instead it was months of this crap. 20 something Liam cowering from senior citizen Stephanie was hilariously bad.

Worst Leading Actors goes to Don Diamont on B&B. Diamont can only do smug and more smug. Everytime he delivers his dialogue, it’s like soap acting at its worst. Bill cheering for the stunt of Thomas, Bill revealing his niece Bridget has a child w/ Howen, Bill arguing w/ Liam, etc were really crappy.

Weirdest, Incestuous Moment goes to Steffy, Thomas, Thorne and Marcus cheering on Ridge to disrobe. What the hell were the writers thinking? Why would the children, brother and nephew of anyone do that? Steffy complimenting her father’s body was creepy. Runner up goes to Aggie touching her brother Oliver too much in front of her bf, Nick!

Dumbest Moment goes to Statue Howen vs. Statue Rick for Jackie. I’m all for campy, frothy fun, but that was soooooooooo stupid. Lowder, LAD and Beemer were terrible. They get Worst Supporting Actors and Worst Supporting Actress for that crap.

Worst in racial diversity goes to B&B. They finally put a black actress on contract after Lark Voorhies, who portrayed Jasmine before Thomas was even born. But they have her portray a homeless person. Lloyd is also untalented. It’s the same w/ Latina actresses. Whenever B&B needs a maid or an immigration storyline, it’s w/ a Latina character/actress. Claudia was I think related to the maid of the Forresters, and she was deported by Macy to a country where she’d be killed. Gabi was also related to the Forrester maid, and she married Thomas so she wouldn’t be deported. Terrible.

Worst in lgbtq representation goes to B&B. Since 1987 B&B has centered on LA fashionistas, yet not a single thespian on contract has portrayed a gay or lesbian fashion designer ever. LOL. The show is bursting at the seams w/ on contract and recurring thespians who portray useless chars that say some lines once a month since they have no storylines or stupid “storylines”. But it still can’t manage to cast gay and lesbian characters.

Worst younger actress goes to JMW. Her acting regressed once Thomas was taking Brooke’s side.

Adam Gregory, David Gregory and Clifton get worst younger actors. Clifton’s acting is so distracting and hyper as Liam. While B&B’s Gregory and OLTL’s Gregory are your typical soap hunks w/ no acting talent. It’s kind of difficult to take Thomas as a serious romantic threat when Gregory’s voice is like it’s going thru puberty. Gregory can’t act so they should not have paired him w/ KKL, the lead actress of B&B. A handsome, but terrible actor is once again in a frontburner storyline.

Worst return goes to Adrienne Frantz/Amber. For months, Amber was languishing in the background, being thrown to Rick and then to Nick. It felt like the writers were trying to give Amber any storyline that would stick merely for the sake of giving Amber something to do. When JMW temporarily left B&B, Amber was thrown to the younger set, w/c was a terrible step back for the show. B&B should have not brought Amber back, especially since it’s so cast heavy. It was even worse that they put her w/ the younger set. They should have temporarily recast Steffy instead. I don’t think JMW is so important that they can’t let a diff actress portray Steffy. They could have hired any unknown actress or former Daytime actress. Heck they could have hired Mackenzine Mauzy, who portrayed Steffy’s “identical” twin Phoebe. Mauzy greatly improved when she returned to B&B and she imbued a lot of sadness in Phoebe. A Steffy recast would have been better than Amber driving the younger set’s storylines again. And Frantz should never attempt an accent. Ever.

Worst non contract/recurring go to Andrea Evans and Lesli Kay. They are talented daytime vets. Evans was trashy fun as Tawney and was the only palatable aspect abt Amber. Kay could be the next Susan Flannery if B&B actually wrote for her/Felicia. So why the heck are they not on contract in frontburner storylines? While countless actors, who are atrocious, are on contract. Diamont, Tom, Clifton, Gregory, Lowder, Gareis, Frantz, LAD, Beemer, Battle, Hearst, Wagner are either awful “thespians” or have no storylines or have dumb storylines. SJB has talent, but she can’t elevate the crappy writing for Aggie. Mills can do the comedic psycho, but Pam’s so watered down and underutilized. B&B really should make room for Evans and Kay, as they would improve the show.

Best actress : Jessica Leccia – Venice. She is sensational!

I’m all for Lexi and Haley from GH. They are wondeful young actresses. In fact, just this evening I saw Haley on a new episode of ‘House’. She was wonderful talking and listening to House talk about his girlfriend and giving him some advice on how to be nice to her. It was very charming! Haley really delivered. So, I would vote for her an any contest, and Lexi too.
