2011 Soap Opera America Award Winners

It's that time of year again, one year ago, As The World Turns was the big winner taking home 5 wins at the Soap Opera America Awards, who will come out on top tonight?! Here are the winners for the 2011 Soap Opera America Awards:

OUTSTANDING VILLAIN/VILLAINESS:

Ewa Da Cruz as Vienna Hyatt, As The World Turns

Sean Young as Meggie McClaine, The Young & The Restless

Stephen Nichols as Tucker McCall, The Young & The Restless

Terri Conn as Aubrey Wentworth Buchanan, One Life To Live

Jerry verDorn as Clint Buchanan, One Life To Live

-With the entrance of Meggie on Y&R, fans were treated to a conniving villainess not seen on Y&R since Shelia Carter, and Meggie did everything but destroy one of soap's most famous couples. Her return brought shocking secrets as well, and fans rejoiced when she earned her just rewards!! But Sean Young played Meggie brilliantly, and made us long for villains like Meggie again.

OUTSTANDING PLOT/STORYLINE:

Newman v. Newmans [the lawsuit], The Young & The Restless

Nikki loses sobriety, The Young & The Restless

DNA Test Scandal, One Life To Live

Ronan is Chance’s Brother, The Young & The Restless

Reid’s Heart, As The World Turns

-Y&R has been known to utilize it's history very well, so the Ronan Malloy being Chance's brother (and Nina's Son) storyline was very intriguing, making good use of Y&R's history and bringing a captivating storyline that brought out the best acting skills of those involved.

[FAN VOTED] FAVORITE RILVARY:

Barbara Ryan/Emily Stewart, As The World Turns

Chloe Mitchell/Heather Stevens, The Young & The Restless

Jill Fenmore/Lauren Fenmore Baldwin, The Young & The Restless

Phyllis Summers/Sharon Newman, The Young & The Restless

Ronan Malloy/Chance Chancellor, The Young & The Restless

-This year's newest award, which is fan-voted, was given by the fans to what has become one of Y&R's most well-known rivalries next to Katherine Chancellor & Jill Foster. Phyllis and Sharon found themselves at war again this past year, but for a while they had called a truce, to help Sharon get out of a wrongful conviction. Who knows what will happen once Sharon returns to Genoa City?

[FAN VOTED] FAVORITE COUPLE:

Luke Snyder & Reid Oliver, As The World Turns

Cane Ashby & Lily Winters Ashby, The Young & The Restless

Brody Lovett & Jessica Buchanan, One Life To Live

Billy Abbott & Victoria Newman Abbott, The Young & The Restless

Victor Newman & Nikki Reed, The Young & The Restless

-Despite having their ups and downs, it looks like Victor and Nikki remain popular with the fans, once Nikki returns to Genoa City from rehab I have a feeling that the sparks may re-ignite with these two.

OUTSTANDING YOUNGER ACTOR/ACTRESS: [25 or under]

Kelley Missal as Danielle Manning, One Life To Live

Kristen Alderson as Starr Marnning, One Life To Live

Christel Khalil as Lily Winters, The Young & The Restless

Brandon Buddy as Cole Thornhart, One Life To Live

Emily O'Brien as Jana Hawkes, The Young & The Restless

-Lily Winters has suffered more in her lifetime than anyone can bear, and she's still in her twenties! This past year has been hard on Lily, her children born premature, Cane was hiding secrets from her, and she believed Cane to be dead for a few months. Christel Khalil brought a gripping portrayal to Lily, bringing a fantastic performance to her repertoire.

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR:

Eric Sheffer Stevens as Reid Oliver, As The World Turns

Daniel Goddard as Cane Ashby, The Young & The Restless

Jeff Branson as Ronan Malloy, The Young & The Restless

Billy Miller as Billy Abbott, The Young & The Restless

Mark Lawson as Brody Lovett, One Life To Live

-Billy Miller (last year's Emmy Winner in this category) has shown to add a level of depth to Billy Abbott, and is a great actor overall, his desperation to protect his wife and keep her happy only gave Miller great material to work with and brought more perspective to Billy Abbott.

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS:

Bree Williamson as Jessica Buchanan/Tess Smith/Bess Lord/Teen Jess/Wes Granger, One Life To Live

Trica Cast as Nina Webster, The Young & The Restless

Melody Thomas Scott as Nikki Reed Newman, The Young & The Restless

Lesli Kay as Molly Conlan, As The World Turns

Elizabeth Hendrickson as Chloe Mitchell, The Young & The Restless

-Bree Williamson has more talent than anyone I know, to be able to pull off acting 4 different personalities and one actual person in the past year, and to display a wide variety of emotions is just brilliant. Which is why it's all the more surprising that she has yet to win an Emmy... Maybe she'll be walking away a winner on Sunday!

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS:

Colleen Zenk as Barbara Ryan, As The World Turns

Michelle Stafford as Phyllis Summers, The Young & The Restless

Terri Conn as Katie Peretti, As The World Turns

Jeanne Cooper as Katherine Chancellor, The Young & The Restless

Jess Walton as Jill Fenmore, The Young & The Restless

-The weeks leading up to ATWT's finale brought a great kidnapping storyline for one of the show's vets and gave her a chance to show her talent. Which paid off, as she had one of the stronger showings from the three soap operas than any other actress I can remember in the same period.

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR:

Trent Dawson as Henry Coleman, As The World Turns

John-Paul Lavoisier as Rex Balsom, One Life To Live

Van Hansis as Luke Snyder, As The World Turns

Eric Braeden as Victor Newman, The Young & The Restless

Michael Graziadei as Daniel Romalotti, The Young & The Restless

-Victor Newman's life has been turned upside down in the past year, he's lost private ownership of his company, and severed ties with almost all of his children. We rarely see Victor emotional, but over the past year, Braeden brought a brilliant performance to the screen and we saw how Victor really felt. One of the strongest male performances in the past year deserves recognition.

BEST DRAMA SERIES:

The Young & The Restless

As The World Turns

One Life To Life

-This year's best Drama Series is without a doubt, One Life To Live, as they've unfearfully tackled a brave bullying storyline and shaken up the lives of Llanview residents. They've captivated viewers with interesting storylines and continue to do so, with the way they are going, the OLTL finale will be something that viewers won't forget!

HELEN WAGNER LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD: Jeanne Cooper, Y&R

Goodnight, As The World Turns

"I don't think there should be goodbyes, just goodnights." -Kim Hughes

So, the final episode of ATWT has aired, and I must say, I am sad with the fact that it was over, but a little disapointed with the finale.

FAVORITE PARTS:
-Bob's introduction at the beginning. It was so amazing and perfect that it could've stood alone as the last moment.
-Luke feeling Reid's heart through Chris. So touching and gave us a sense of closure with Luke.
-Kim's quote (at the top of the article). Showed that the show will go on forever in our hearts.
-Everybody's (or almost everybody) happy endings. Made some sort of peace that we knew they were okay.
-Bob's Retirement running parallel with the show's conclusion. Very cool that one of the show's longest running castmates' had some sort of goodbye as the viewers did with the show.
-The last scene. Where the light shone on the globe and it was still turning, gave me chills.

MISSED OPPOURTUNITIES:
-I was disapointed that they didn't do a montage intro of all the different introductions used throughout the years for ATWT.
-I wish we could've been treated to a future glimpse to our Oakdale friends' lives.
-The whole thing felt rushed, it should've been longer than it was.
-I wish Molly, Rosanna, Will & Gwen, and the others; stayed for the finale..


Overall, some of it seemed unorthodox and didn't quite fit for me (Barbara & Henry). However, despite the flaws, it was a pretty cool ending to a great show.

1956-2010.

As The World Turns' Final Week

Almost a year ago, we lost Guiding Light to poor viewership (but they had a great fan base that fought til the end to keep the light shining), and now one of the most famous headlines of this past year was the viewers' fight to keep As The World Turns on the air. A losing battle, unfortunatly.

Today it really hit me that this week was the LAST week that ATWT would be on the air... kind of a bittersweet moment that left my heart shattered. If any of you have been keeping up with the show, a lot of stuff has been happening in recent weeks. But the one thing that will keep us tuned in is CarJack's LONG journey back to each other.

Hopefully they will end up with each other again, (as GL did with Reva & Josh) and that the finale will be a grand one. My dream finale would start with a introduction that utilized all the introductions from ATWT's past and we would then be treated to a lot of guest stars, or at least, some memorable moments... However, it depends on the producers.

So, if you viewers are looking for another soap and still are willing to watch on CBS, Maura West (aka Carly Tenney Snyder) will be playing on The Young & The Restless starting early October, so stay tuned for her!!

Here is a video that shows the preview for the final week:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cyjA4AvYQo

So, join us for the last episode on September 17th, 2010. (AND bring a box of kleenex).

Soap Opera Moments: Reid's Heart (2010)

[Luke (Right, portrayed by Van Hansis) & Reid (Left, portrayed by Eric Stevens) have been a couple since early 2010, and have quickly become another fan-favorite couple from As The World Turns; they are popularly referred to as LuRe.]

So, as many of you LuRe and ATWT fans know, last week (September 3rd, 2010), Dr. Reid Oliver was hit by a speeding train because his car would not move from the train tracks. Reid was trying to rush to Bay City in order to get the heart that was needed to save Chris Hughes' life.

Today, Margo and Tom Hughes received the call that there was an accident, long story short; Luke's facce turned from joking to horrified as he saw Reid's bloody body rushed to Memorial's ER in front of him.

What followed were powerful scenes from Hansis and Katie (Terri Colombino), scenes that are worthy of first Daytime Emmy wins for the two [I'm looking at you Emmys!!]. And their final scene in the room that Reid was in, standing and holding each other was just heart-wrenching.

This breif, but compelling storyline has put ATWT (in my book), back to the good stories, that delt with what many ATWT storylines have delt with, family. This paired with the Barbara Ryan kidnapped by Iris storyline should hopefully earn many Emmy noms for ATWT, including Best Drama; but one can only hope!

What ticks me off most about the whole thing is that Katie and Luke have come through so many romantic roadblocks in the past year, it feels like: "When will they get a break?!"

And it feels like Luke's relationship with Reid was just dangled in front of us and then whisked away, sadly but unfortunatly, irreversable...

You never know what could happen within the next few days, so stay tuned, and hope that Luke will find love again before the show ends!!!

1st Annual Soap Opera America Awards

Welcome to the first annual Soap Opera America Awards!! Where the best of the best in CBS Soaps [and those in Llanview!] of 2009-2010 are honored. Eventually, I hope we will be able to honor all the Soaps in future awards. Until then, we will be honoring these soaps; including giving the honorary Helen Wagner Lifetime Achievement Award to Coleen Zenk Pinter (Barbara Ryan) of As The World Turns fame.

Without further ado, let us commence the awards!!

OUTSTANDING VILLAIN/VILLAINESS

The nominees are:

Paolo Seganti, As The World Turns (Damian Grimaldi)
Roscoe Born, One Life To Live (Mitch Laurence)
Michael Muhney, The Young & The Restless (Adam Newman)
Stephen Nichols, The Young & The Restless (Tucker McCall)
Yvonne Zima, The Young & The Restless (Daisy Callahan)

And The Award Goes To: Michael Muhney, The Young & The Restless
-No doubt, Muhney's dasdardly turn on Y&R as sociopath Adam Newman has brought some new meaning to the word Villan, terrorizing over HALF of Genoa City has brought him some big trouble, though recent scenes have brought up the notion that he's back and here to stay.

OUTSTANDING PLOT/STORYLINE

The nominees are:

Brad Snyder’s Death, As The World Turns
Ann Douglas’ Death, The Bold & The Beautiful
Mitch Laurence’s Return, One Life To Live
The Emily/Patty Switch, The Young & The Restless
Tucker McCall’s Revenge on Katherine, The Young & The Restless

And the award goes to: The Emily & Patty Switch, The Young & The Restless
-All of these storylines gave great material for the actors to work with, but this rather far-fetched (but of course when have we known soaps to not defy reality?) storyline was one of the longest-running ones on Y&R in the last year, was one of the greatest storylines of the past year, and showcased how brilliant Stacy Haiduk's acting skills were, and Haiduk redefined the requirements for portraying two different characters with her brilliant turn as Patty Williams and Emily Peterson.

FAVORITE COUPLE

The nominees for this fan voted award are:

Brad Snyder & Katie Snyder, As The World Turns
Carly Tenney & Jack Snyder, As The World Turns
Luke Snyder & Noah Mayer, As The World Turns
Kyle Lewis & Oliver Fish, One Life To Live
Cane Ashby & Lily Ashby, The Young & The Restless

And the award goes to: Carly Tenney & Jack Snyder, As The World Turns
-Longevtivity proved to be a major factor in this race, with CarJack reciving a lot of votes. Their on-again, off-again relationship on ATWT has captivated viewers for more than a decade, and in recent weeks, it seems they will get back together. Let's hope ATWT puts this supercouple back together before the show ends!

OUTSTANDING YOUNGER ACTOR/ACTRESS

The nominees are:

Ashley Greiner, As The World Turns (Faith Snyder)
Meredith Hagner, As The World Turns (Liberty Ciccone)
Kelley Missal, One Life To Live (Danielle Rayburn)
Christel Khalil, The Young & The Restless (Lily Ashby)
Emily O’Brien, The Young & The Restless (Jana Fisher)

And the award goes to: Meredith Hagner, As The World Turns
-The original portrayer of Liberty Ciccone was delt a tough hand with one incident after another appearing in Liberty's life. And in the hands of another mediocre actor, the scenes would have failed; but Hagner portrayed Liberty brilliantly, that if she were nominated at the Emmys, no doubt she would have won in the younger actress category.

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR

The nominees are:

Van Hansis, As The World Turns (Luke Snyder)
Austin Peck, As The World Turns (Brad Snyder)
Daniel Goddard, The Young & The Restless (Cane Ashby)
Michael Graziadei, The Young & The Restless (Daniel Romalotti)
Greg Rikaart, The Young & The Restless (Kevin Fisher)

And the award goes to: Van Hansis, As The World Turns
-Van Hansis was one of the actors I considered horribly snubbed by the Emmys, even when he was nominated. He delievers so well as Luke Snyder that it is a shock that he has never won! This past year, Luke's emotions have been twisted and confused, and Hansis has shown Luke's confusion and disapointment very well.

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS

The nominees are:

Julie Pinson, As The World Turns (Janet Ciccone)
Marie Wilson, As The World Turns (Meg Snyder)
Betty White, The Bold & The Beautiful (Ann Douglas)
Bree Williamson, One Life To Live (Jessica Buchanan)
Stacy Haiduk, The Young & The Restless (Patty Williams/Emily Peterson)

And the award goes to: Stacy Haiduk, The Young & The Restless
-Betty White and Stacy Haiduk were both among the horribly snubbed actresses at the Emmys. This category was the hardest to decide, since all the actresses delivered such powerful performances, but there was no denying that Haiduk's stint portraying two very different personalities was spellbinding and showed just how talented she is. I hope that some other show takes advantage of her talents, Y&R's loss will hopefully be some other show's gain.

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR

The nominees are:

Jon Lindstrom, As The World Turns (Craig Montgomery)
Michael Park, As The World Turns (Jack Snyder)
Peter Bergman, The Young & The Restless (Jack Abbott)
Doug Davidson, The Young & The Restless (Paul Williams)
Christian LeBlanc, The Young & The Restless (Michael Baldwin)

And the award goes to: Michael Park, As The World Turns
-The two men from As The World Turns had the best material to work with compared to the ones they've been getting in a while. But Jack's year has been unbelievable, and a usually stable Jack had been so emotionally confused, and showed how great an actor Michael Park is. And the fact that he FINALLY won at the Emmys was just the icing on the cake.

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS

The nominees are:

Terri Colombino, As The World Turns (Katie Snyder)
Maura West, As The World Turns (Carly Tenney)
Florencia Lozano, One Life To Live (Téa Delgado)
Tracey Bregman, The Young & The Restless (Lauren Baldwin/Sarah Smythe)
Eileen Davidson, The Young & The Restless (Ashley Abbott)

And the award goes to: Maura West, As The World Turns
-My personal favorites are Tracey, Eileen, and Maura; all fantastic actresses. But I've found that for the longest time that Maura has had the strongest material to work with and over the last few months, has been giving the best performances in many the situations that Carly has gotten in. (Not to demote the performances of the other fabulous actresses) And the fact she recieved her second Emmy award is fantastic as well.

BEST DRAMA SERIES:

We arrive to the final award of the night! And the nominees are:

As The World Turns
One Life To Live
The Young & The Restless

And the award goes to: The Young & The Restless
-All three nominated dramas have had strong years, and have been absolutely great with their storylines. However, even though As The World Turns has had some great moments and we can always count for ATWT to show that family and love trump all, but the fact that they keep adding new faces and focus less and less on the more established actors & actresses has made the show less appealing; One Life To Live had some great and exciting moments this past year as well, but what did them in are their unfinished conclusions for many of them (and kicking off popular couple Oliver Fish & Kyle Lewis didn't help them much as well). The Young & The Restless had a great year, and brought us many exciting storylines and great emotional moments [from Ashley & the others finding out that Faith was Sharon & Nick's daughter to Adam Newman's near escape and his dasdardly plans to Patty's charade of playing Emily to get Jack back]. And it helps that their crop of actors is a great troupe of fantastic performers.

Congratulations to As The World Turns being the top winner with 5 wins & to The Young & The Restless for 4 wins. Be on the lookout for a page on the Helen Wagner Lifetime Achievement Award and details on Colleen Zenk Pinter. Thank you for joining us and see you next year!!

The 2010 Daytime Emmy Awards

Here Are The Winners:

Lead Actor: Michael Park, As The World Turns
-So nice to see Mr. Park finally honored for his work, and I'm not surprised that he won, considering ATWT's upcoming finale.

Lead Actress: Maura West, As The World Turns
-Isn't it awesome that CarJack both picked up Emmys this year? Must say that I had no real idea how this category would go.

Supporting Actress: Julie Pinson, As The World Turns
-Julie is a talented actress, and I am glad that she was recognized for her work. And I am glad that the VERY talented actors and actresses on ATWT are finally getting their dues, considering recent years at the Emmys. And Betty White's non-existant nomination clinched the win for Pinson.

Supporting Actor: Billy Miller, The Young & The Restless
-Both of my favorite soaps dominated in the four main acting categories, so I am thrilled!

Younger Actor: Drew Tyler Bell, The Bold & The Beautiful
-CBS had a great night!!

Younger Actress: Julie Berman, General Hospital
-Berman would go on to pick up her second consecutive trophy in this category.

Writing Team: The Bold & The Beautiful

Directing Team: General Hospital

Drama Series: The Bold & The Beautiful

-I liked the way they showed the montages for the soaps this year, at the end with about fifteen to thirty seconds for each soap. Watch it here. [just click the play button]

No wonder B&B won for its second year in a row, their montage was absolutely fantastic, Even though I am a huge Y&R fan, I must say that the Ann Douglas storyline was so heartbreaking and I almost cried when they showed the scenes. So, our hat is off to you, B&B, congrats from all of us here at Soap Opera America. [the only problem is that Betty White should have been nominated for her work!]

Stay Tuned for the announcement of the Soap Opera America Awards!!

As The World Turns Update #3 (05/10-05/14)

Lately In Oakdale:
