General Horses*** shouldn't be nominated for anything. That crap is the worst show on television and should've been canceled yesterday!
Y&R should be the de facto winner every year. Michelle Stafford FTW!
GH is the best soap, and one of the best tv shows, EVER!!!!!
This'll be a big year for General Hospital at the Emmy's I can feel it! Sarah Brown better win! Girl has got some GH acting power!
So... Lane..it's a good thing you don't watch GH then! On point- are these nominations for storylines that ended 2009? Thanks to all the adults that post on here
Way 2 go GH!!!!I see that the actor who was playing Michael 4 the last yr got nominated...Drew Garrett...anyone know the 411 on his departure?Go Sarah, Julie, Tony and Maurice...And one of my faves , Diane Miller, Sonnys atty...she got the nod 2!!!
GH rocks!!!And these nominations are for last year.The abuse story will def get nominated next year.But way to go.I love Sarah Brown but Crystal Chappell on GL was amazing.But Im rooting for GH all the way.Go JJ!Jonathan Jackson the best!
Been watching GH since 1967 and think it is the best. Been through 3 "Carlys" and 3 "Luckys" 3 "Edwards". Just wonder why they had to change MIchael and Morgan actors at this critical time.
Y & R is a well put together, show. We all get perturbed with the shows when they don't go as we feel they should. But, how else would they keep US watching???
Drew Carey got snubbed for being nominated for best game show host for The Price is Right.
