Outstanding Lead Actor: Scott Clifton (Liam Spencer), B&B

Liam catches Hope off guard when he asks her point-blank if she has developed feelings for Thomas.

Clifton is ingenious here in the way he slowly peels back the emotional layers to Liam’s insecurities during his interrogation of Hope, resulting in Liam reaching a breaking point when his lingering feelings of resentment towards Thomas (over his past role in keeping Hope and Liam from finding out that baby Beth was alive) bubble to the surface. The final sequence, in which Liam and Hope fight their way back to trusting one another, is beautifully acted. Kudos also to Annika Noelle for bringing her A-Game.

With all the repeat reminders that Thomas “is not the problem”, I almost half-expected Hope to break into song at the conclusion of Thursday’s episode with, “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me…” lol

Really surprised Krista Allen didn’t include the hospital bedside scenes as part of her reel, where Taylor sings “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” to a comatose Steffy (which was very moving), or Sheila’s suicide attempt on the hospital rooftop (strong scenes, for both Allen and Kimberlin Brown). The Taylor/Ridge reunion scenes in Aspen is also an excellent showcase for her though, and falls right in line with the more subtle, emotionally-nuanced performances that tend to win in this category (which may also put Brook Kerr and Kelly Thiebaud at an advantage). That may explain why I still have Kerr sitting in first place in my predix (but only by a hair), with Allen in second and Thiebaud in third (again, historically speaking, the odds are not in Thiebaud’s favor when it comes to repeat wins in this category; plus, I think what hurts her chances is that the thematic nature of the material on her reel — Britt coming to terms with the progression of her Huntington’s Disease — is quite similar to that of her winning reel from the previous year).

If these age guidelines already have most of us here in a tizzy, no wonder there was widespread confusion among applicants over the exact rules for this category!

To expand on what EmmyLoser explained, because Eden McCoy (whose birthday is 6/10/2003) was about 18-and-a-half years old on 1/1/22 (the start of the eligibility year, which ran until 12/31/22), she was still allowed to compete as a Younger Performer. As long as someone was not already 19 years old (or older) on 1/1/22, they would have been eligible to compete in the Younger Performer category. And because the rules don’t discriminate against entrants who turn 19 during the eligibility year (as in Eden’s case, who celebrated her 19th birthday on 6/10/22), one is allowed to submit scenes from any time during the year, regardless of whether they aired before or after one’s 19th birthday. This is why Eden was allowed to select scenes that aired even after 6/10/22 as part of her reel.

Outstanding Guest Performer: Haley Pullos (Molly Lansing-Davis), General Hospital

Molly and T.J. are informed by Dr. Navarro, the hospital’s fertility specialist, that Molly is suffering from a severe form of endometriosis, and that she likely will never be able to conceive. T.J. comforts a distressed Molly, who is simultaneously hit with the realization of how badly she wanted to become pregnant and carry T.J.’s child. At T.J.’s urging, Molly resolves to not give up hope that they can still have a child, even if it’s not in the way they’d pictured it.

Pullos brings an honesty that really grounded these scenes for me. Honorable mention to Tajh Bellow (T.J.) for some nice supporting work here too.

Haley Pullos did some very nice work in Thursday’s episode where Molly learns about her endometriosis diagnosis. I imagine it must’ve been difficult to watch these dramatic scenes in her alter ego’s life unfold on screen while at the same time the real-life news of her DUI arrest became public knowledge. The photos (as featured on TMZ) taken of the crash site look horrific. It’s nothing short of a miracle that she (and the driver of the other car in the collision, who sustained major injuries) survived, otherwise this could’ve easily been a very different news story. I’m so glad that she’s since checked into rehab and getting the help she needs. Wishing her all the best.

^^^ Kinda funny how Anna Theresa Cascio herself even went to the trouble of acknowledging the blunder in the Reader Comments section, yet it still hasn’t been corrected in the main article lol.

I admit I had to chuckle a bit (despite the seriousness of the matter) over her husband’s (actor Doc Dougherty) remarks as to what he made of those writers that went/choose to go Fi-Core during the Writers’ Strike: “Anybody who hears this, if you ever are a scab, you’re dead to me, and don’t come within 100 feet of me or my family”. I could just picture mob boss Sonny Corinthos in a perfect delivery of those lines!

Stunned. This past December just marked the 45th Anniversary of her start on the show. I was just thinking too the other day how wonderfully fitting it was (and how lucky we are) to have a beloved vet like Jackie Zeman still among the cast to be featured prominently in the lead-up to the Nurses Ball and GH’s own 60th Anniversary. She was such a grounding force on the show, one that will most certainly be missed.

I’m surprised by how many here are predicting Kelly Thiebaud for the win (she currently also sits at first place in the odds with Gold Derby combined users, for a second straight year). Back-to-back supporting actress wins, as we have seen, are extremely rare; in fact, in Daytime Emmys’ 50-year history, it’s happened only one time (Amelia Heinle’s repeat win in 2015). I’m not counting it out as a possibility (after all, the majority of users ended up correct last year in predicting Thiebaud’s surprise win, so they might again be onto something this year), but something tells me records aren’t meant to be this easily broken.

Sad to see Camila go, but hopeful she’ll return at a future date if her primetime or feature film aspirations don’t pan out.

^^^ Thx for clarifying. What a strange decision. The category should’ve been left intact. Morning shows are unique in their own right (with a mix of hard news and pop culture reporting) and just as much a staple of Daytime TV as variety talk shows and drama series; they deserve to be recognized as a separate entity. It feels silly to have them suddenly be recharacterized as either strictly news programs or talk shows.
