Genoa City learns of and mourns Neil Winters.

This was very tough to watch but great work across the board. I am sure this was all very…[Read more]

Victoria Konefal submitted some good scenes, but I feel like not what most expected. She submitted from early January where she was hungover from New Years and went off on Rafe for sleeping with Sami. She also submitted the scenes from I believe June where she confides in Kayla about her rape. And she said to add some contrast and some lighter…[Read more]

From what I understand, Allison Sweeney, Stacy Haiduk, Martha Madison and Brandon Beemer will all start airing around the end of this month to coincide with the Jarlena wedding. Martha has said that her and Brandon will be airing for a few months and I have seen mentions from her and Nadia that there will be some story between Mimi, Chloe and…[Read more]

While none of what I am about to say has been officially confirmed, I just wanted to add to this conversation about why the recast may have happened (mild possible spoiler to follow). So, the rumors of this recast started about 3 months ago on Twitter. It was discussed that Ron had a story planned for Kristen to show up at John and Marlena’s w…[Read more]

Days of our Lives
Lead Actress: Marci Miller

Abby goes to Marlena fearing she’s losing it.

I think Marci has been great in this story and this episode as a whole was a good showcase for her. She perfectly portrayed all the emotions, her fear, confusion etc. She was really raw with her emotions and I think this would make a…[Read more]

1. Reign Edwards

2. Haley Erin

3. Olivia Rose Keegan

4. Chloe Lanier

5. Cait Fairbanks

i don’t think any of these reels were necessarily slam dunks, but for me, it’s between Haley and Reign. I think what set theirs apart is that they both made me feel something. I was genuinely moved by both and I can’t really say that about the other…[Read more]

Wally Kurth submitted scenes in the bar when he asked Olivia to marry him. Then scenes with Michael in the Quartermaine den where he is challenging him and they have a confrontation about the business. Then 2 or 3 scenes with Tracey where she is telling him about Edward’s letter and he asks her why did she need a letter to let her know that he l…[Read more]

I went into this a bit in the Emmy citations thread, but I really enjoyed yesterday’s episode. The court room scenes, the JJ/Lani scenes and all of the Stefan/Abigail/Chad stuff was really good and ended with some good cliffhangers on Friday.

Also, I am thoroughly enjoying the performances from Wally Kurth and Laura Kai Chen. They have a r…[Read more]

Days of our Lives
Outstanding Lead Actor: Eric Martsolf
Outstanding Lead Actress: Kassie DePaiva

Victor tells Eve that Brady was setting her up and she calls off the wedding.

I thought both, especially Kassie, were really great in these scenes. I’m not quite sure if they would fit in Lead or Supporting because it is s…[Read more]

Days of our Lives

Outstanding Lead Actress – Ari Zucker 
Outstanding Supporting Actor – Greg Vaughan

Nicole has to lie to Eric and say that she doesn’t love him to avoid prison.

Really heartbreaking and beautiful performances from both. I think both actors knocked this out of the park and this could make a competitive reel fo…[Read more]

Days of our Lives
Outstanding Lead Actor – Billy Flynn
Outstanding Supporting Actress – Marcy Miller

Abigail tells Chad that he should be with Gabi and they hash it out.

I thought these 2 were really spectacular. Billy was great as always, but Marcy really held her own and delivered as well. Some of the dialogue came…[Read more]

This is one of the strongest sets of reels as a whole that I’ve ever seen. It was very difficult to rank them, as any one of them could justifiably win.

1. Laura Wright
2. Gina Tognoni
3. Heather Tom
4. Nancy Lee Grahn
5. Jess Walton

Laura Wright just had the perfect reel for me. Others need to watch hers to see how you effectively edit…[Read more]
