I love her and I can see her getting an nomination. And I would love to see Thaao Penghlis back too b/c he has been awsome in those Stefano scenes.

I am a great fan of Jess Walton, but what is it in the past year that would merrit her a Lead Actress nom?

Could we make room for Catherine Hickland since she was snubbed for her work last year? Hey it worked for Kelley Hensley.

--Morgan

I swear the Soap World keeps me guessing a lot, Y&R is by far the most improved show and such a joy to watch right now, I expect them to get lots of nods once again, so I take off B&B from the contenders list and add Y&R instead

People to look out for from Y&R
Ted Shackleford (Jeff)
Judith Chapman (Gloria)
Greg Rikaart (Kevin)
Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe)
and the list goes on

If things goes like this yr. we'll definitly have at least 2 or more actresses from Y&R nominated for Yng. Actress.

Actresses Who Are Eligible:
Vail Bloom (Heather Stevens)
Christel Khalil (Lily Winters)
Eva Marcille (Tyra Hamilton)
Jamia Simone Nash (Ana Hamilton)
Emily O'Brien (Jana Hawkes)
Tammin Sursok (Colleen Carlton)

bump

Is anyone going to mention Bride With a Fist, Melissa Gallo Fumero? I don't think anyone else is close.

I think the thing about Melissa Fumero is that if OLTL prenominate her she has a strong chance of being nominated.

The same thing that warranted Granny Cooper a nod last year.....

absolutely nothing!

I think as of right now and if they submit the episodes about Storm's Suicide, B&B is the frontrunner to win Directing, Drama Series, Writing.

I agree east/west.....

Brad HAS to choose those eppys...they are his best chance of ever seeing the gold!

Van Hansis has been 26 all this year; he turns 27 this Sept. SO it's all supporting for him.

I strongly disagree!!! Bell went for the impact of the great B.J.'s heart storyline; what appeared on screen was O.K. at best but by no means Emmy worthy.
