I need to cite 3 performers from GH’s Nov. 25 episode: Maura West, Genie Francis (Laura learns about Lulu’s surgery), and William Lipton (Cam learns of Dev’s death). Superb performances!!!

I think Kassie DePaiva is guest/limited for Goldies but I wonder if she will be eligible for Emmy consideration in that category? I have never really understood the criteria they are using completely…

What were the surprises for you Michael in terms of the number of appearances on Days???

I personally regard Cynthia Watros as a lead but am conceding that others find Finola Hughes to be more of a lead actress on GH.

I haven’t watched much of any of B&B and very little of Y&R this year so I am not sure of anything when it comes to those two shows!!!

I have been really enjoying seeing Sonya Eddy more often too! They are mostly making really great decisions at this show!!! (I do wish Milo had returned too though)…

I so look forward to GH every day!!!!

That sure was an explosive cliffhanger!!!!

At the Floating Rib were: Dustin and Lulu; Dev and Cam; Danny and Jason – anybody else???

I really like Dustin and wish they would do more with him but I sense he might be a goner???

Another great episode – particularly loved the scenes between Ava and Julian and the ones between Britt and Brad!!!!! Superb!!!! This show is ON FIRE!!!!! Each scene lately has been crackling with excitement and interest, with very rare exceptions. The direction is crisp, the writing is spot-on, and the acting has been amazing! I so look forward to GH each and every day!!! So great to see Parry Shen back on the show – I hope he sticks around…

What I am enjoying the most right now is Lucas Adams as Tripp. His return has been great imo – he is an incredibly talented actor and even if the story itself doesn’t really work all that well he has me sold on it.

Can’t wait for Sami’s return and now only if Will could return as well (sigh)…

A general citation for the excellence of the directing and writing of GH lately – I particularly liked the Tuesday episode this week – not sure if it had enough for a Drama Series submission but it was extremely well directed and written.

I so did not enjoy yesterday’s episode and found it extremely annoying. Yes, Eli was the only sane voice – why do they keep on insisting that Kristen’s behavior is defensible? Ugh… I also just didn’t enjoy the pacing of scenes, the writing, and the show just hasn’t been very strong with a few exceptions lately. Always hoping the show will rebound in time.

Today’s episode was superb! I had struggled getting through Days and then GH came on and it was great! So many terrific scenes, everybody was on their A game!

O.K., if nobody disagrees I will move Paul Telfer up and Freddie Smith bumped to supporting.

Ali Sweeney: Guest/Limited or Supporting?

Olivia Rose Keegan: Guest/Limited or Younger Actress?

What constitutes limited? I am thinking Leslie Charleson, Bill Hayes, Susan Seaforth Hayes would all be more limited rather than supporting?

I haven’t been watching B&B much this year and am wondering who the younger performers and guest/limited performers are from that particular show?

Interesting thoughts about the connection being to Laura and the past…

I originally didn’t have Steve Burton in lead but then someone said they thought he belonged there – I had Marcus Coloma, who plays Nikolas in lead – who do others think would be a better choice? It can be someone else entirely of course! I agree that Burton hasn’t had lead material in 2020…

Hooray! Laura is back!!!! So happy to see Genie Francis again!!! and she was tough too!

Gregory is a total bore – I was hoping they would hire a high profile actor for the role.

Can they finish with Cyrus already? Dull dull dull….

I think Nelle is still alive…

So hoping for a lack of pre-emptions this week!!!! So looking forward to watching!!!!

I could see the case for Jordan as a lead for 2020 – she has been on a ton of episodes, but my own dislike of Finola Hughes aside Grahn, Hughes, West and Wright probably make the most sense but Cynthia Watros has had a great deal of screen time too and has really rocked her scenes imo. I will go with the majority of course!

I think Paul Telfer has had enough screen time to bump him up, and Chandler too… but i will go with the majority on placements when the times comes in January.

I can’t stand Brady with Kristen – it is beyond irritating!!!!
