Thought I love Eileen Davidson – I have to give Best Actress to Finola Hughs ! The duel role scenes were played with pure atristic perfection and her scenes with Anders Hove were just chilling -not to mention her heart wrenching reunion with Robin !

They all deserve it…so what was the worse? I know people will say Roger was great as Todd but a few will say no way as Franco…some will say worse was Sabrina with Patrick with few who like it…Kathleen Gati as Dr.O was a scene stealer as well as,4get name, who played Faison…im addicted to these two…its like being hooked on drugs or alcohol…is there a rehab center for this? lol

“General Hospital” was without question the best soap of 2013. The other three didn’t even come within shooting distance. Here’s to an equally fantastic 2014!!!

I just love GH. It is just great everyday. I sopped watching for years and now under Ron and Frank the show is just on fire. Never a boring moment…

What? Roger pulled in some stellar performances as Todd Manning on Prospect’s OLTL, but as Franco on General Hospital? He was Carrot Top without the depth.

RH as Franco? Seriously? I agree about Todd, but when you have to twist a character like the pretzel they have for Franco, um, no. How much have they whitewashed him and he’s still the same homicidal psycho he was when he came on. Bad move, GH.

GH is definitely the best show by far. However, I think Finola Hughes should definitely have been named best actress. She is phenominal! Don’t care for the character of Franco one bit. RH was good as Todd but I think Y&R’s Billy or Adam are best actors.

SOD, I concur! I need to get the issue on newsstands to see everything among the winner and losers. This daytime drama resurgence excites me to no end, and I pray it continues. What a mistake so-called power brokers made in letting go of so many legacy programs and wounding the genre’s pride. Yes, life changes but as we see with so much else, life is less appealing when the joys are minimized and forgotten. I see it with Christmas traditions, family values (and I do not mean that as fundamental or right wing, rather courtesy, morals, and manners), and the rush to buy, to grow up, and to get ahead.

Enough of my soap box, forgive me! 🙂

Agree with GH! Not so sure about Roger Howarth as best actor of 2013. Eileen deserves the accolades, but to me Finola is the best actress in daytime!

“Oh, my god!” – OMG

Eileen! Eileen! Eileen! I love You…. You deserve this accolade… with all my heart… BIG Time!

I miss you… in Salem! Yet! You belong in Genoa City! I love you in both places!

for what it’s worth… DAYS is so much better!

SOD made some great choices! GH is, by far, the best soap. I’m loving its renewed quality and popularity! It’s hard to pick best actors because so many gave such great performances this past year, but Roger and Eileen were pretty awesome, and deserving of the honor.

Go GH!! A great and entertaining year for the show.

GH is outstanding!!! The King of the soaps..
Roger Howarth is amazing!
He owns every character he plays, an excellent actor..

GH has been reborn into greatness!!!! Never a dull moment!

BRAVO GH !!!

Eileen Davidson was the main reason Days Of Are Lives ratings went up an people tuned into Days. Kristin her character made each show . She is one great actress an wish she would return to Days of Are Lives. Days needs her back so badly.

I would have picked DAYS as best show… Roger Howarth as best actor, Ari Zucker as best actress. Kristen’s rape of Father Eric on DAYS as best storyline. Sami and EJ from DAYS as best couple, Julian Jerome on GH as best new Character, Dr. Obrect as best villain.

I am going to make everyone very upset but Peter Bergman brings it home every time their are some actors who just have it he is one it does not matter if he is in major storyline he turns shit to gold! He is my pick this year he always brings it home!!!!

I love Roger as franco he is the best actor on daytime

Could someone have been shocked when Robin showed up alive? Where were the tears? The ahock? The joy? I realize that people in Port Charles are used to back from the dead scenaroos….but seriously…all Elizabeth did was casually hug Robin and say “I’ve missed you.”. Where was he soapy melodrama?? Mac and felicia acted like Robin was out for coffee. When you tell these big epic stories…you have to have the writing and acting to support them.

I agree that E Davidson was phenomenal but cannot even fathom how Roger Howarth is even in contention. I cannot watch GH when he is on. I must be in the minority (shrugs)! I believe that Jason Thompson and Dom Zamprogna are the (male) forces to watch on GH. Finola Hughes is also an amazing performer. My female favs (from GH) this year are Finola and Kirsten Storms.

After today on GH I felt like slugging Patrick myself, Sabrina should be ashamed to appear so desperate. She put the rings back on after she offered them back to him at the church. She should back off because she’ll never be sure of Patrick’s love. This man’s wife has HIV and the women still want to jump in bed w/him. That’s never stopped all women from wanting Patrick. Nobody’s being careful. I’m glad Maxie is ready to have her back, you know she plays “dirty”. I can understand Patrick being a little confused , please give a break. Please tell me why Sonny has not figured out Ava’s initials are AJ, he needs to remove his “HATE” blinders about AJ Q. so that he can see the truth.

Eileen Davidson deserves her accolades (and I hope the 2014 Emmys are in sync with her phenomenal performance this year, totally out-acting her co-stars and female counterparts on the other three soaps by a landslide!). Howarth deserves a Most Bizarre Recast award (from Todd to Franco!), as there were much more worth Best Actor contenders this year especially Y&R’s Billy Miller & Michael Muhney! Does anyone have a rundown of SOD’s entire list? I’m searching for the magazine tomorrow but would love a sneak peak as to who made the year-end cuts and who fell hard!

I have no problem with SOD’s choices but I wanted to point out that in the same issue, SOD finally came out and talked about the stories that were not very good on PP’s OLTL and AMC. They panned Victor’s return on OLTL and Cassandra’s kidnapping on AMC. It’s about time someone talked openly about the story mistakes these shows made because the errors were not all behind the scenes. I have to believe the plot holes and bad story choices contributed to people not watching online. Even though SOD and alot of us wanted both shows to succeed, it’s time to stop tip-toeing around what didn’t work on these shows and accept that some story decisions were not good at all.

can’t believe they name that Who is Summer Father mess on YnR as Best Story of the Year

Roger Howarth being named best actor by Soap Opera Digest is well deserved. Roger is a great actor. I think he did an amazing job with the less than stellar material he was given this year by the reboot of OLTL. He worked his acting magic a silly storyline that really had no point what so ever to it. He continue to amaze me on GH in his portrayal of Franco not a an easy role to take on and I think Roger has done a wonderful job in making the character of Franco his own. I say bravo Roger for working under the conditions that you were forced to work under this year and he still turning out two wonderful performances on two seperate soaps playing very different characters.

My bests:
Show, writing: tie DAYS/GH
Directing: GH
Actress: Eileen Davidson, of course
Actor: Greg Vaughan
Story: Eric’s rape and aftermath, DAYS
Best couple: Faison and Dr. Obrecht, GH
Worst show, worst writing, most disappointing show: Y&R

Eileen Davidson all the way, baby! She is amazing! Love her! Miss Kristen and her antics!

bought the SOD issue Today!

after reading…. I still believe that DAYS & GH are neck and neck… and it’s either/or to lose….

I so want that, DOOL repeat, because I’ve loved this dark horse… the overlooked… many a year… that it simply repeat as best show…. why not? I hope this

GH fans… I’m rabid with…. I’ll stand salute and salutations… with. next year!

Roger Howarth plays every character just like he played Todd!!!! Even as Franco he still appears to be playing Todd!!

Days was PHenominal! NBC can personally thank Greg Vaughan, Ari Zucker, and Eileen Davidson and Eric Marstolf for me to have a reason to turn this show on again. I had stopped watching several years ago when it was turned into the “Sami Brady show” ( sorry not a fan of the character or actress). NOt even my beloved Bo and Hope could make me tune in. Eileen looked like she was having a blast. Greg and Ari brought the raw emotional stuff back and forth push – pull/ angst- attraction thing all over the place. Their arguments Those two really suck you in. And The Aftermath at the church with Brady mocking Eric about the rape and the ensuing fight was just so well done and the aftermath with everybody just so raw and Brady turning back into a druggie and attacking everyone was just been wonderful … and they really haven’t even played out what it has been for drugged man to be a victim of rape. Although , knowing Days they will probably gloss that over.

Here’s to a better 2014 .. I really hope Eric and Nicole get together before NBC decides to pull the rug out. Praying the show has a few more years left. and Kristen worms her way back into town… oh and Jennifer, Abby and Sami get pushed off a cliff .
