ABC Soaps Watch

Soaps In Depth magazine posted the list for Emmy’s pre-nomination. Here are the ABC daytime actors who received their pre-nods.

Outstanding Lead Actress
AMC: Bobbie Eakes (Krystal), Alicia Minshes (Kendall)
GH: Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis), Laura Wright (Carly)
OLTL: Kassie DePaiva (Blair), Bree Williamson (Jessica)

I hope Laura gets through to the final list. I think she gave the Carly Corinthos charater a much needed boost and more depth than anyone who had portrayed it. Nancy is probably a shoo in since she is currently in the middle of her Lung Cancer storyline.

Outstanding Lead Actor
AMC: Thorsten Kaye (Zach), Michael E Knight (Tad)
GH: Anthony Geary (Luke), Steve Burton (Jason)
OLTL: Michael Easton (John), Trevor St. John (Todd)

Now this is a little shocking. Maurice Bernard (GH, Sonny) did not get a pre-nod which is a disgrace in my opinion. His bipolar/depression storyline was awesome to watch. His characterization of this true-to-life story was very gritty and has really challenge his acting. Anthony is a very respected actor but I don’t think his storylines were notable last year. I mean I saw the same Luke doing things over and over again, as an absentee father. He was good, don’t get me wrong but Sonny’s storyline was better especially if it’s coming from his own life.

I’m kinda torn on who I want to get through and win. I like Steve (GH, Jason) but I also love Trevor’s portrayal of Todd (OLTL). They’re both great in my eyes. Now if Maurice was among the list as well, then I’ll definitely have a problem on which one I want to win :).

Outstanding Supporting Actress
AMC: Cady McClain (Dixie), Alexa Havins (Babe
GH: Genie Francis (Laura), Rebecca Herbst (Liz)
OLTL: Renee Elise Goldsberry (Evangeline), Heather Tom (Kelly)

I hope Cady (Dixie, AMC), gets it. It will be the best *rub it in your face* revenge to the TPTB who callously killed off her charater. That whould teach them a lesson.

Outstanding Supporting Actor
AMC: Jeffrey Carlon (Zarf/Zoe), Jacob Young (JR)
GH: Ric Hearst (Ric), Jason Thompson (Patrick)
OLTL: Dan Gauthier (Kevin), Tuc Watkins (David)

Greg Vaughn (GH, Lucky) should have been among the list too. Drugs, and infidelity, come on.

Outstanding Younger Actress
AMC: Leven Rambin (Lily), Eden Riegel (Bianca)
GH: Julie Marie Berman (Lulu), Kirsten Storms (Maxie)
OLTL: Kristen Alderson (Starr), Melissa Gallo (Adrianna)

I want Julie (GH, Lulu) to win. Not only does she look like Genie as Laura, she has worked with so many veterans on the show and she carried herself so well. This girl can act.

Outstanding Younger Actor
AMC: Brent Weber (Sean), Michael B. Jordan (Reggie)
GH: Dylan Cash (Michael), Scott Clifton (Dillon)
OLTL: Eddie Alderson (Matthew), John-Paul Lavoisier (Rex)

Anyone of them can win. I’m really not interested with this category. Sorry.
