There are three scenes that stand out in my mind, all involving Matthew Ashford, the best actor on daytime.

1) Jack finds out about Steve and Kayla's affair and then rapes Kayla.

2) Jack finds out that HE is Billy Johnson.

3) Jack kills his father, Harper Deveraux.

Steve

AMC Julia Barr Brooke learns that Laura has died. Sends chills. JB is so missed and she totally deserved the emmy.

I forgot about that one...yes indeed! Great scenes. My mom cried for five days straight during that storyline

Nancy Lee Grahn, Alexis Davis-(then Lansing). For her scenes during the Train Wreck/Molly's birth. I was ready to box the Emmy up for her after those scenes. Just...damn.

Susan Lucci's best were:

Erica addicted to pain killers

Bianca anorexia intervention

Bianca coming out

Erica intervention (especially loved the toast to Kendall, chilling. though the pacing was a bit slow during the whole episode.)
