I'm still working on the official SON Dream Ballot. Please get your votes in- I'd like the responses to truly represent the ENTIRE body of posters here at SON. We have about 15-20 responses so far. For your vote to be heard, post your DREAM BALLOT

HERE!!!!

Like I said, I'm doing it like the SOW editors used to do- vote as if you yourself are voting for the Emmy nominations this year. Prejudices are WELCOME! :)

Editors, Admin & Mods- I ESPECIALLY would like to hear from you guys, since you are the 'editors' of SON if you will. Any registered member can vote, whether by posting in the thread or PMing me. Happy Voting!

It does not. If you want to only vote in certain categories, that's fine. I'm asking for 5 choices in each acting category (I believe that's how many are voted for...) and 4 in the Best Writing & Drama Series Category. No less than 3 and no more than 8 will be acceptable. But try to keep it close to 4 or 5.

Here's a SNEAK PREVIEW to whet your appetites:

---Best Show is pretty much down to 4 shows, unless 1 show has a huge resurgence in the next week

--Best Lead Actor is a close race- two actors are on pretty solid ground, and 5 others are in extremely close contention for the other 3 spots.

---Best Lead Actress is almost too close to call. A few actresses are ahead, but the others are nipping on their heels. It's a race between 8 actresses, with four fairly ahead of the others, but not nearly far enough to call any of them a shoe-in. Stay tuned...

---Best Supporting Actor is another pretty close race. No actor is the clear favorite here, unlike the lead categories. There are 10 different actors that all feasibly could make it in there, 3 of which have a small but decent lead over the others.

---Best Supporting Actress is a lot more concentrated than I expected. Usually, this is the toughest race to call. But the SON Dream Ballot has 3 clear front-runners, and 2 more that aren't far behind. There are 3 actresses that have the numbers to possibly upset, but it looks pretty sewn up as of right now.

----Best Younger Actor is another category that's pretty clear. 2 guys here are absolute locks, receiving more votes thusfar than any other pre-nominees. There are two other guys who are clearly ahead of the pack and another one with a slightly lesser lead. Only 2 potential spoilers, but it doesn't look good for them.

----Best Younger Actress has one actress that is a lock, tying one of the guys in Younger Actor, but not having quite as many as the other. Another actress pretty much has her spot secured, and 3 others are looking pretty solid. This category only has one potential spoiler, but she has a real shot.

So if you haven't voted yet, YOUR vote could be the one that tips the scale in favor of your faves!

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
