Looks like these were the two episodes from GL...

The Wednesday, January 11th episode:

cbs.com recap:

A separated Reva and Josh both realize that today is the day they were planning to make a holiday video for Marah and Shayne. And that, if they do, there's no way they can avoid telling the kids they've split. They attempt to tell them in several different ways - together, one at a time, gently, bluntly - but nothing seems to work and they decide to give it up. However, they run into Marina, who is eager to say a video “hi,” to Shayne. Josh and Reva go ahead and let her speak, then decide to finish the project - separately. As Josh and Reva traipse through Springfield, both find it somewhat difficult to get “fun, happy, and cheerful” quotes out of people who are feeling anything but fun, happy, and cheerful. Cassie is missing Tammy (and praising Josh as well as, reluctantly, Reva), Jonathan has nothing to say to his half-siblings (though he does, at the end, admit to being glad that Reva is back in his life), Jeffrey is eager to participate but Josh blows him off, Olivia, not realizing she's being taped, primps for Josh, and Billy can't hide his drinking. When Reva and Josh reconnect at the end of the day, neither is thrilled with what they've accumulated. They sit down to watch and, at first, are horrified by how much negativity is on the tapes. As time passes, though, they manage to see the humor in the situation, as well as find the warm moments they previously missed. At the end, Reva and Josh bring the tape back down to earth, admitting that it's been a rough year for everyone in Springfield, including Mom and Dad, who are taking a little...break...from each other. But they still love Marah and Shayne, and they're still a family no matter what.

The Wednesday, April 26th episode:

cbs.com recap:

Gus enters rehab as Harley tries to function normally in the outside world without revealing where her husband is. But she doesn’t have to lie alone for long, because Gus escapes and tells her he still plans to detox – just not at the facility. He wants to do it with Harley at his side, back at the cabin where he was held hostage, so as to rid himself of all his demons at once. Harley nurses Gus through withdrawal as Alan-Michael is filling Dinah’s head with all sorts of tales – such as the fact that Gus was high when Mallet was shot. Alan-Michael wants to leak the story to the press, figuring Harley would have to step down as CEO after the subsequent scandal. Alan-Michael also thinks it would be a good idea if he and Dinah were to make sure Gus never kicks his pill habit. And if they had some pictures to prove the condition, too. Alan-Michael sneaks up to the cabin window to take pictures, while Dinah calls Harley with an imaginary emergency. Harley runs off, thinking Zach and Jude are in danger, and Gus gets a visitor – baby brother bearing a whole fresh bottle of pills. But Gus made a promise to Harley, and he refuses to let her down. He locks himself in the same room where Beth once trapped him, and proceeds to hallucinate not only her, but Alan, Alex, and a bleeding Mallet. He goes crazy and rips the room apart, but, at the end, comes out healthier for it. He and Harley return home to their kids.

I think that the episode of Todd's execution was one of OLTL's best episodes in 2006.

[DevotedToAMC]

I'm thinking AMC will get it for the Mardi Gras Ball...very well done and well directed and it should also get the Emmy for Best Directing Team (not another GH win they already got three in a row!)

[Sylph]

Too bad for Y&R. But I’m glad Latham’s changes weren’t ’appreciated’ by the Guild.

[2shane8]

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if this wins.

[Scotty]

Me either....and I think it has a much better chance of winning then the John McBain faux funeral crapfest.

[DevotedToAMC]

I don't mind Latham but I guess that is the minority opinion. Oh well someone has to have it

[Sylph]

Who knows, maybe you're not. We'll see.

[DruRocks]

Bump...since the winners are announced.

[DevotedToAMC]

Who won?

[Sylph]

Outstanding directorial achievement in daytime serials
