Emmy Reels, what was submitted by Marci Miller, who plays Abigail (Horton) Deveraux DiMera, or Abby, who is up for Best Actress
#EmmyReels@MarciMiller
Here’s what she submitted: when Abby confronts Gwen about seducing Chad, Abby finding out Gwen is pregnant, #Chabby’s goodbye before Marci left on maternity leave. #DAYS@MarciMiller @billymflynnThey were all great scenes, powerful. Gwen became something of a nemesis for Abby, who never lets her get away with anything. Unfortunately it turned out that Gwen was a previously unknown half-sister. Marci Miller could easily win, she’s that good.

Michael Fairman did Zoom-style interviews with many of the nominees right after they were announced. I’m going to listen to as many as I can manage & take notes & share that. By their very nature they may not seem like polished copy, instead being more informal, etc. I plan to do a few at a time.
LAURA WRIGHT, up for Best Lead Actress, GH, Carly Corinthos. First off, she was in a moving car while she talked to MF & that was kind of hilarious. They were going to Chelsea Handler. Now to it, she knew when she was taping these scenes that she would put them on as her reels.
A scene where she is experiencing & then expressing about it that coffee is just not the same anymore, that Sonny always made the first coffee of the day & that he made it better than anyone else could or ever did & it wasn’t that she couldn’t make a good cup of coffee, but it was that it was never AS good & that was somehow emblematic of the loss of Sonny in her life.
The scene where she found out that Nina had known!
A scene she had with Epiphany about losing Jason where she actually made the actress who plays Epiphany cry.
She expressed a lot of gratitude & excitement at going to the Ladies’ Dinner, the awards ceremony itself & GO CBS for having it back again live, etc, and of course being honored to be nominated & great feelings about the other nominees. She was effervescent!
Kimberlin Brown, up for Best Supporting Actress, B&B, Sheila. She didn’t actually get around to describing the reels she submitted a’tall. She said that the writers continue to amaze her at what they come up with for Sheila. When she gets her scripts & immediately reads into them, she quickly finds that she is surprised by what they’ve put out. She is HONORED to be nominated with the other people. She’s excited with her job as well as being excited about the Daytime Emmys. She loves that this is such a collaborative medium & feels thankful & blessed.

My problem with Marci Miller’s reel is that it is all one note: anger. All of her scenes are angry confrontational scenes.
I am extremely annoyed that Mishael Morgan is nominated. First of all Amanda is NOT A LEAD CHARACTER! Turns out Sharon Case, Melissa Clare Egan and Camryn Grimes all submitted in lead (from what I have read online) – sorry, but there is no universe in which Mishael Morgan’s work was better than theirs. When I watched these scenes of hers last year I was bored out of my mind. I guess they played better to the panelists and that’s really irksome.
Laura Wright lost the last time she submitted grieving scenes (and I thought she would win that year – was that the year Gina Tognoni won?). IDK if there will be a different outcome this year. I don’t like her character and find her acting style irritating – the shouting and over-emphatic line readings in particular. But others just adore her.
Cynthia Watros has the most variety and is the one I am rooting for. Am I “hope-dicting” her? IDK. But I do think she deserves to win.
Arianne Zucker would be a worthy winner. I hope she submitted the breakup scene but as Michael has pointed out she did great work throughout the early part of 2022 and beyond (just better work early on imo). I would be o.k. with her winning but surprised by it.

I see what you mean about Marci’s scenes but that is in fact what she had in the time period & it was all righteous from a s/l POV so it is pleasing to me as a fan, serious rootability for the character & her family. I don’t watch Y&R so I can’t know about them although Sharon Case is powerful. I love LW & I love her in this role more than any of her other two before. She seems to produce polar opposites in fan reception. The very stuff I love someone else detests. No middle ground. I love CW, too, but I can’t stand Nina, so I really need to hear what she submitted before I even think of having an opinion. Laura’s scenes were very appealing to me. She said that she had really wished she had a comedic scene to include but she just didn’t have one. She floated the idea that it was funny that this mob boss wife had had this little old lady kidnapped & Steve Burton told her she was crazy. Arianne was very good when her life went off the rails! Some of the people from DOOL are surprising me that they really thought that Dee, SSH & Bill Hayes would all get nods. I think they’re being naive if they think the academy is suddenly going to start rewarding sf/f stories.

Sharon Case really didn’t do much last year so I’m not too mad about her missing. Faith’s car acccident really doesn’t help her.
Camryn Grimes……..I wasn’t sure if she was Lead or Supporting but was disappointed she didn’t get nominated. If she submitted for Supporting then I believe she would have gotten in for baby Dominic’s birth and Mariah tearfully having to say goodbye to the baby.
Melissa Claire Egan, YES……………I was so stunned and disappointed she didn’t get nominated for Chelsea’s breakdown at the ranch after admitting to poisoning Rey.
DO NOT SH#@ on Mishael Morgan. You don’t like the actress fine but she did have a storyline with her character, Amanda finding her birth mother and her showdown with her grandfather ESPECIALLY the outburst which was very powerful and this scene is probably what got her nominated. I wasn’t sure if she was Lead or Supporting but the voters loved her performance and I couldn’t be happy.
I’m eager to know what the soaps submitted for Drama Series??????!!!!!!!
ReplyCopy URLCamryn Grimes submitted in lead.
I think Mishael Morgan is a good actress so calm down. I do not believe she has any business being one of the five nominees and I found that storyline to be a total snoozefest – just my opinion. And Sharon Case had a TON of great scenes last year during Faith’s bullying and hospitalization, Rey’s poisoning, the triangle with Adam and Rey, and the reconciliation scenes with Rey.
ReplyCopy URLNICHOLAS CHAVEZ, up for Best Younger Performer, GH, Spencer Cassadine. They tell them it’s a 15 minute reel & when Nicholas timed what he had put together he had over 15 minutes, so he trimmed, re-edited, and got it down to 10+ min. Like most people he got help from Producers & Actors, etc.
Nicholas had a scene the night of the party at Wyndemere when his father Nikolas was in a black robe & scary mask & pretended to stab Spencer to teach him a lesson because he had been Ava’s stalker. Spencer was nothing but angry & he retorted, “Don’t call me your son.”
Nicholas had many scenes to choose from with himself & with his father and also with himself & his stepmother, Ava.
He chose a scene on the pier, at the docks, where he confronted his father with his killing of Hayden & of his disappearance by faking his own death.
He chose a confrontation between him & his stepmother Ava.
He’s very excited & said he had never been to a Prom so has never worn a tuxeDo. He is looking forward to the whole experience. When he is tempted to feel sorry for himself because he has so much dialog to learn, he thinks of his compadres, the other Young Adults at GH, some of whom are going to college and appearing on GH full-time!
Edit: Adding more from him that showed up in WILLIAM LIPTON’s chat:
NICHOLAS CHAVEZ when he first timed out his real it was over 15 min. (The goal is 3 scenes, not over 15 min.) So he re-cut & re-edited & came up with just over 10 min. & was pleased to leave it there. Like everyone he had lots of help with his reel, from producers & from other actors. His new movie came up & its out now, streaming, CRUSHED & he plays a guy he says is gross, slimy & dirty.ReplyCopy URLAn apostrophe does not mean, "Look out, here comes an S!"

I know Grimes submitted Lead……..what I’m saying is that if she had submitted in Supporting, she would have gotten nominated. I wasn’t certain she was LEAD and I still didn’t think Sharon Case did much even those scenes she did…….I didn’t think it was strong!
ReplyCopy URLI was so floored by Thompson winning in 2020 I truly believe anyone can win in any category at this point, for anything. In 2020 Y&R aired some Emmy winners, one of them being Eric Braeden for his 1998 Emmy as he’s teaching his son Adam to box. While it is a tender scene/episode, I had to wonder if he balanced the reel with something more Victor-like because I almost fell asleep when they showed it last summer and I’d never seen it before. I’m reminded it’s range and impact which sometimes goes beyond just angry or grieving scenes.
ReplyCopy URLI wonder assuming Nancy Lee Grahn submitted the standalone episode how it got cut down. There’s a lot of good stuff in it and I hope they preserve the “fighter, idealist, advocate” theme because it’s just sublimely done.
Did she say this was her submission? Interesting. I really think she will win with it but we’ll have to wait and see…
ReplyCopy URLNLG sent a tweet that makes it sound like her entire reel is Alexis/Kevin therapy scenes from her 25th anniversary episode. She joked that that’s all she had.
I don’t agree. She had great scenes with Nikolas & Ava where Alexis is processing Julian’s death and great scenes where Alexis attends an AA meeting with Curtis & Monica. I was hoping she would submit scenes from all three episodes. But she’s still competitive with the 25th anniversary episode alone.
