CARLOS RIVERA/DR. JOE RIVERA nomination! Wow!

[Louise]

Yes, Parise was the one pleasant and new surprise.

(I'm glad to see Babatunde and Horsford as supporting rather than guest, too, but I feel like the fact that they've gotten so little to do lately will hurt them. Kinda like it hurts me.)

[Holly]

Ugh. Maurice Benard? Bryan Craig? Hunter King?

Mo CAN NOT ACT.

Bryan clearly went to the Mo Benard School of Stuttering Stupid.

Hunter King is the WORST. She hasn't even had much of a story the last year.

[Ziyal]

So glad to see Nancy Lee Grahn in the lead category! Though that makes it harder for her.

It will probably all depend who submit what, rather than the extent of their performance; hoping Babatundé has awesome stuff to submit.

[MD]

What's disturbing to me is that when I look at some of the nominations, Tequan Richmond for example, the lack of airtime is astounding, so it serves as an example of how small the pool from which to choose really is.

[Laurie Udin]

Good nominees good luck general hospital!!!!!

[Em]

There are four daytime soaps left, right? Guys, this award is silly.

That said, though I haven't watched a soap in about 3 years, I love Alexis forever and always and hope Nancy Lee Grahn wins every award for which she is ever nominated.

Also, I do like that Mary Beth Evans is still get nominations. Do y'all remember when Kayla lost her hearing? I do! (Days was my soap a LONG time ago. P.S. RIP Another World)

[Em]
