**Detonates actor/actress received pre-nomination
DOUG DAVIDSON as Paul Williams **(Outstanding Lead Actor)
The Young And The Restless
Davidson’s defining moments as Paul were really when “Patty” was in the coma, and he was at a loss, in the weeks that followed, Davidson showed raw, gut wrenching emotion.
STACY HAIDUK as Patty Williams and Dr. Emily Peterson **(Outstanding Supporting Actress)
The Young And The Restless
Dual roles on soap operas are so entertaining to watch, and are pulled off well by talented actors, and Haiduk is talented; portraying Patty Williams so well with an eerie sense of danger, and Emily’s journey is also well portrayed too.
PETER BERGMAN as Jack Abbott **(Outstanding Lead Actor)
The Young And The Restless
Jack’s storyline this year with Patty, and falling in love with Stacy has shown the tender side of Jack, and we see the other side when he lashes out after Jabot was bought by the Newman family. Bergman shows a great range of emotion in Jack’s characterization.
EILEEN DAVIDSON as Ashley Abbott
The Young And The Restless
Davidson is such a talented actress, she’s one of my favorite soap stars. That said, Ashley had quite an ordeal this past year; the fiasco with the babies and then losing her trust in Adam, feeling quite insecure with her own sanity, and then finding that her baby might not be hers; Davidson conveyed her character in the right manner, I wouldn’t be surprised to find her nominated at the Emmys.
SHARON CASE as Sharon Newman **(Outstanding Lead Actress)
The Young And The Restless
Sharon has had the ups and downs of a typical soap female; and Case has been brilliant in her portrayal of Sharon. The upcoming episodes of the “Faith’s maternity” storyline will no doubt bring us more great emotion.
MICHAEL MUHNEY as Adam Newman (Adam Wilson)
The Young And The Restless
Adam is defiantly a sociopath (mentioned quite a few times by different characters in the show), and Muhney’s portrayal of Adam is really on target and a strong representation of his talent.
MICHELLE STAFFORD as Phyllis Newman **(Outstanding Lead Actress)
The Young And The Restless
Phyllis has had quite a year: dealing with Sharon/Nick, her son’s (false) imprisonment, her own relationship, the loss of Sharon and Nick’s baby, and Adam’s lies. You may not like Phyllis, but you got to admit: Stafford is one hell of an actress, she shows so many sides of Phyllis in so many situations.
MICHAEL GRAZIADEI as Daniel Romalotti
The Young And The Restless
Daniel has had an arduous year, his imprisonment scenes brought out the best in the character.
TRACEY E. BREGMAN as Lauren Fenmore Baldwin
The Young And The Restless
Lauren’s been through some tough stuff recently on Y&R, and Bregman has shown the best in Lauren’s scattered side; and the current storyline with her and Paul is defiantly going to bring some good material to the table.
CHRISTIAN LeBLANC as Michael Baldwin
The Young And The Restless
Michael’s stress level has increased in recent weeks on Y&R, and it’ll no doubt increase in following weeks. LeBlanc is perfect in orchestrating the role of Michael, emotionally and giving us more depth into the character.
VANESSA MARANO as Eden Gerick
The Young And The Restless
Eden’s had a hard year, and has shown us great development in the character, with Marano’s great portrayal of the character.
YVONNE ZIMA as Daisy Sanders
The Young And The Restless
If you hate Adam, chances are you also hate Daisy. No denying, Zima’s portrayal of Daisy’s sinister nature is defiantly bone-chilling.
DANIEL GODDARD as Cane Ashby
The Young And The Restless
Goddard has given us great performances as Cane, and his emotional levels were tested with many frustrating storylines, and Goddard passed with flying colors.
CHRISTEL KHALIL as Lily Winters Ashby **(Outstanding Younger Actress)
The Young And The Restless
Khalil is so lovable as Lily, everyone (or most everyone) loves Lily; however, that dang cancer storyline has brought Lily (and most of the Y&R audience) to tears.
JEANNE COOPER as Katherine Chancellor Murphy **(Outstanding Lead Actress)
The Young And The Restless
Cooper is brilliant with Katherine, hard to believe she won her first competitive Emmy in 2008! However, Katherine was faced with many obstacles and the biggest: Tucker is her son (insert "gasp!"), has brought Katherine to emotional ends, don’t be surprised to see Cooper nominated. (Glad to see that one of the senior cast members of a soap still gets regular face time, BTW).
