Debbie is fine..but MCE...meh.....If it wasnt for Colleen being nominated I wouldnt even watch this years Emmys. I cant believe ATWT only got 4 nominations. Julie shouldnt have gotten a nom again...she sucks and already won. That nod should have gone to ESS or he should have gotten the nom in place of the crappy writting nominee Jean Pissy got...UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I didnt care for the character. I think thats why I didnt care for MCE acting too.

I cant believe shitty GH got the most nominations.....most of the list blows......ugh

And Eric Sheffer Stevens with Michael Park and Maura West carried ATWT the last [!@#$%^&*] year!!

I absolutely disagree with Soapsuds love of Colleen Zenk. WHY was she nominated? In any Colleen Zenk scene I saw on ATWT, she always acted like she was acting. Beautiful, yes. Good actress, no. She won't win.

Me too, I don't get why SF got nominated. She didn't do anything emmy-worthy last year, she hasn't in a long time IMO.

Katherine Kelly Lang always deliver.

I couldn't disagree more. Colleen Zenk was one of the best things about ATWT the last few years. It was a shame though that TPTB had her spend too much time involved in Paul's storyline. When she got her own the last year she showed what an asset she was to the show. With more emphasis on her and Elizabeth Hubbard (another powerhouse) ATWT would have had a better chance of surviving. I hope that she gets the Emmy, because she deserves it!

They were great, but honestly, for me, ATWT's last year was carried by Liz Hubbard, Colleen Zenk and Trent Dawson. Dawson's omission is downright criminal, especially since I'm 99.9% sure that he submitted the Henry/Vienna wedding. That reel had it all- drama, comedy, drunk Henry- it was amazing and one of the best ATWT episodes of 2010. That's largely in thanks to Zenk & Dawson, with a dash of Don Hastings' one liners.

She was nominated because she carried ATWT in 2010 and gave the best performance in all of soaps throughout 2010. The only time where her acting was a bit much was in the Barbara and the Clown episodes, but you have to make BIG choices to make scene after scene after scene of playing off nobody but a stuffed clown even somewhat entertaining. To a degree, she managed to do that. But she was AMAZING during the Vienna/Henry/Barbara triangle- especially in scenes where Barbara was feeling alone, questioning her age. I remember a particularly poignant scene where Barbara is staring at herself in the mirror, looking at all her flaws and age, questioning whether she's lost her beauty and is washed up. Yes, Zenk is GORGEOUS and it's rumored that she wasn't thrilled with that aspect of the storyline. But she played it beautifully- every woman in America of a certain age could relate to what Barbara was going through- Zenk's emotions were palatable.

In short, Zenk gave the most human, layered, nuanced, and relatable performance of any actress in 2010 and not only earned her nomination, but the win as well. She submitted a knock-out performance (Henry & Barbara's wedding) that deserves recognition.

I did leave out Hubbard and Zenk. It was so refreshing to see them again along with Stevens, Park, and West. Had the show focused on them instead of Juicy Janet, Liberrty and so many useless characters.....ATWT would have been more enjoyable to watch. The show got that spark once they were featured.

      BTG: November 2025 Discussion Thread

      -- I love a good build, and the show has made me look forward to Winterfest. But some things seem so forced.  -- For example, the Vernon/Sharon meetups. GMAB. It's so obvious what this is and they're playing it too hard for too long.  I think one purpose is to make Leslie look like a fool, but it's hard to take. Is the tour over for Sharon? Does she sit in the hotel room all day long waiting for Vernon? Is he paying her bills? It's dumb.  -- Leslie is an awful human. I don't think she gives a rat's ass about Peaches. She cares more about Eva's sex life.  -- Izaiah and Eva have nice chemistry, but their conversation seemed forced to me. Didn't sound like first date dialogue and was too on the nose.  -- Shanice was great in taking down Leslie. I'm so glad the writing didn't have Leslie land the biggest smackdown. Dr. Wilkes was also great.  -- Again, Leslie is spending like she's worth a bajillion dollars. This has to be written for laughs.  -- I've done a complete turnaround on June. I now think she's a great addition.  -- Martin and Smitty are so concerned that Tyrell learn about Banneker that they call in a guy who started work there this week?

        -- Tyrell is so much more mature than Samantha. I hate the way she treats him and talks about him in front of others.  She really sat there and asked Jessica why she's even with Tyrell. Samantha is pathetic.    Screenshot time: -- If I can get Fish & Fries at Orphey Gene's for $5, why is a glass of juice $4 ? -- That Mr & Mr sign at Martin and Smitty's is beyond lame and tacky.

      So do I. Jack actually treats her like an equal partner. And he’s done far less evil things Nikki has just to ignore including to his own kids than Victor any day.

      This 11/17 episode was extremely lazy and boring. That Adam and Chelsea opening scene was so cringe and out of character for both.  Billy Flynn is being wasted and I was only interested in Claire and Holden.    Every character feels the same with no actual personality.

      Ugh...right? At least if Chris Bernau had been able to continue in the role, it would've been intriguing to watch Alan manipulate Reva.

      Yes, it was. Dinah had started to soften after Henry's heart attack in March. After Paige Turco took over the role, the attitude is turned way, way down. The thing about Vanessa was, she could be very territorial. If Dinah had gone to Lillian (who had befriended Dinah before she knew Vanessa was her mother), that would've stung a bit, but Van probably would've understood. But Dinah getting advice from Ross' new girlfriend would not have sat well with her, the same way Van later bristles anytime Nadine tries to stake some kind of role in Bill's life. @DeeVee  I know it's been brought up before, but I hadn't really connected Long breaking up Ross/Van to the fact that she'd neither created that backstory or been responsible for giving them a love child.  I wonder what she would've done had she been there when Jordan left, and had to break Billy/Van up.

      Well, she just said "ladies" on the show but she didn't specify they were fellow actresses. It could have been some of the women behind the scenes of the show. There was a lot in the interview that wasn't clear to me.

      Now would’ve been a great time to get the next A plot going, versus Bill and Katie and Steffy and Liam rehashing the same BS about Luna we have been hearing for weeks.

      I feel it could benefit from a focus on one of their three A stories or a solid B plot. But right before the turnover from Guza to Thomson, outside of all things Dani...there's nothing too A story-ish going on. Still entertaining for me, but it's noticeable that there is not a main story with other B/C stories going on. It's just...a bunch of stories going on.    I do hope the build to Winterfest and us actually seeing it THIS month will get things moving again.    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
