Judging the clips alone (I have no affinity to any of these actresses or shows), I would have to say Kristen Alderson (GH). Hunter Haley King’s reel is really more about Michelle Stafford’s performance; Lindsey Morgan is surprisingly good, yet pales to Alderson; and Jacqueline Macinnes Wood displays the widest range of emotion, yet her performance is overshadowed by a badly overwritten scene.

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood who plays Steffy B&B for the winner. Still mad they don’t have Sharon case for best actress. That MCE who plays Chelsea and Avery Y&R better NOT win. They really are boring

Rickie,

I agree, Hunter’s reel is more about Michelle Stafford as Phyllis than it is about Hunter as Summer. She made a colossal mistake picking those scenes for her Emmy reel. So, with that said, I don’t see Hunter winning at all. I think she’s the one with a very, very long shot to win. As for Jacque Wood, I only got through maybe 3-4 minutes and I didn’t care for her reel at all. While someone said that she showed the most range, it was a blase scene for me. I saw it on TV and even I didn’t think it was Emmy worthy material then and I still don’t now. I didn’t even bother watching Lindsey Morgan’s reel as I don’t know her all that well. With all of that said and having watched Kristen Alderson’s reel, Kristen is very much in the driver’s seat to win the Emmy. The one who could possibly beat her would be Jacque Wood.

KRISTEN(STARR)!!!

Jacqueline MacInness Wood.

I think it close between Wood and Alderson, with Morgan possible spoiling. King gets outshined to much by Michelle in her reel and does not standout.

Even after watching the reels, I’m not sure why Lindsey Morgan or Hunter King were nominated, however Jacqueline Woods and Kristen Alderson are incredibly talented actresses and both their reels are extraordinary. But, I have been a fan of Kristen Alderson longer, I grew up watching her and being dumbfounded over the many years she was overlooked for these awards and as such, I have to root for her this year. 🙂

My vote goes to Jacqueline Macinnes Wood for the wide range of emotion she portrays in these scenes.

Wide range??? Are we watching the same clips? The dialouge alone was a snooze fest and her delivery was slightly monotone and sorry boring. The background makes her look like she is delievery an outstanding performance, but she was just ok.

Hmm – I’m not really sure why you chose my comment for response when others mentioned range as well. However, I will add to/amend my original comment with the following (also mentioned in other comments): I preferred Jacqueline’s acting in these reels because it was subtle and felt real and effortless … and, for me, was the one I felt most deeply. Sometimes, the greatest depth of feeling comes in quiet, nuanced scenes like these.

Now I would place Kristen’s reel second … but her performance did not create the depth of emotional reaction for me that Jacqueline’s did. But, of course, we all react differently – as we should.

Kristen Alderson.

Kristen Alderson’s reel was far and away the best. She’s been long overdue for some recognition of her work, and I think she’ll get it this year.

Lindsey Morgan’s reel was also very good. I was critical of her nomination when the names were announced, but now I can see why she made it this far.

The other two were also good in their own way, although I’m admittedly not familiar with either of their work. I would say this should be a GH category on Emmy night.

Kristen Alderson

all good actesses…but i vote for JMW of B&B….

I thnk the winner should be Kristen Alderson she is awesome

Kristen Alderson is the WORST actress, how Valentini managed to buy her a nomination is beyond me.

Disagree 100% Barry!

Kristen

KRISTIN ALDERSON

Kristen!!

I loved the clip from B&B (Liam and Steffy) Jacqueline M Wood was mesmerizing. Hunter Haley King (Y&R’s Summer) was played to perfection – both Jacqueline and Hunter ran the gamut of emotions in their clips. Kristin Alderson has one range and her mouth twisting drove me crazy. Lindsey Morgan is a great actor but she should have chosen a reel that displayed a wider range of emotions. It was all one-note.

Kristen Alderson!!!!

Oh my goodness! Go Jacqueline Macinnes Wood!

Definitely, Kristen Aldersen. She’s wonderful.

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood should win, she’s an amazing actress!!

I’m loving Jacqueline Mac Innes Wood EMMY reel, its a TRUE WINNER. The array of emotions she displays effortlessly is outstanding. He performances are never forced and I hope she wins a well deserved EMMY this year.

I’m liking Jacqueling Mac Innes Wood in that reel and I’m hoping she win that EMMY for YOUNG ACTRESS this year. The actress did a wonderful job delivering an outstanding performance. GO JMW!!!!

Jacqueline Mac Innes Wood has really done a remarkable job delivering such a wide range of emotions. I had to watch that reel two more times. She definitely has what it takes to win that EMMY this year.

Love Jacqueline MacInnes Wood’s reel. Lots of close-up where we can see all her subtle changes of expression. Her eyes are so expressive. So talented, she deserves to win!

JMW

Jacqueline Macinnes Wood all the way!! She is an awesome actress. Very talented and an outstanding performance. She is a leading lady to me.

Kristen Alderson – Cole and Hopes’ dying scenes are forever etched in my memory banks… Starrs’ performance was gangbusters’. Period. what a way to make an entrance. thereafter… it took me awhile… to get in to her and Michael.

Lindsey Morgan – it wasn’t till Trey’s death did she start delivering… if this was her acting debut – and with big shoe’s to fill… ie: recast… i have to agree with Rickie… she surprised me… as well. you know.. now that she’s gone… if this is an acknowledgement.. on how tough this business is… then take this Lindsey and go from and learn….you all deserve a shot.

Jacqueline McCinnes Wood – who hasn’t been in that position… before? having to say goodbye – for better or worse – take your losses and gain ??? freeing – all for the best – literally… “chasing” each other. it showed some maturity? the bob hope angle was a lil’ cheesy… considering how young they are… if B&B still has this fan barrage of tiredness… over this trio… writing is half the battle… and I thought she – Jacqueline – showed some growth.

Hunter Haley King – woah… the tight skirt and stockings were screaming, harlot? mixed bag of emotions… isn’t she emotionally charged…. ?!?! where are you going Summer? talk about needing to be steered by either her Mother or Father… and it looks like Phyllis is seeing her likeness? a child who loves both her parents.. it’s not all magic kingdom.

i actually don’t have a real preference… but… since.. I watch GH… I have to give this to Starr… Kristen Alderson… it would seem like she’s a child star.. who’s been acting.. just as long as them all… so… kudos to her for achieving this much… and continuing on with her career. her emmy reel… was timeless… classic… heart rendering… I’ll cry everytime I see this.

—————–

p.s… I watched yesturdays GH epi… ie: Tracy slapping Luke… “if I wait till the rest of my life, till my last breath”… I’ll wait for my true Love”.

wow! watching Joe Scully, Jr… with Kristina… I can’t help but know… that was GH’s loss… as he could have been Tracy’s knight and shining armor.

Jacqui Mac of B&B!

My vote goes to Jacqueline Macinnes Wood

I do not get these reels they are so long. I do not want B&B but was intrigued by Jacqueline’s reel it seemed so real. Also the only one without screaming! But overall these seemed like a snooze fest for all of them.

This award is definitely looking great 4 Kristen Alderson.This part she played was fantastic,her emotions were real,and I cried along with her..Kristen I am praying u win this award, bcause after all these yrs.playing Starr Manning, u deserve it…Good Luck 2 u..

Kristen Alderson gave by far the most moving performance. Hunter ‘s mouth moves weirdly so I had trouble watching her scenes . The other two OK. But I can see from watching these, why some people win. If you only judged by what they submitted, I agree. I have had trouble in the past when some names had been called Now I see why.

For me it’s only between two KA and JMW. When I was watching B&B… SF and JMW were my faves. I got so very tired of the Steffy/Liam/Hope triangle to the point of disgust that as much as I like her and think she will be acting for a long time and is such a beauty… I was not looking forward to watching it again… but she was good! I think she may have had better last year… but maybe not all in one episode.

KA did well and based on the reel she will most likely win. KA tends to overact sometimes… but these were nicely done. GH is my fave and I would love to see her win for my show and for her work.

Congratulations to both KA and JMW and I will be happy if either wins!!!

I feel the exact same way, Heidi. I am pulling slightly more for Kristen, but I think Jacqui is also incredible. As long as it is one of those two lovely ladies bringing home the gold, I’ll be happy.

Kristien alderson hands down or Jacqueline macinnes wood, the other two do not have a prayer.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob

Published

By

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”

Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.

Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.

Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

Take a look at the official GH spoilers for the week below.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Published

By

Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.

The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.

As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.

PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL

Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)

According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”

Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.

Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.

In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.

Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
