GENRAL HOSPITAL LEADS DAYTIME EMMY NOMINATIONS

Released by Miss TV Girl

Congrats to my all time favorite soap opera "Genral Hospital" for nabbing 18 well deserved Emmy Awards nominations.  The ABC soap has won outstanding drama series more times than any other show. If anyone is counting and I am the number is 10.

I have watched and loved this soap opera for more than twenty years.  General Hospital abilty to never bore and stray into the absurdity that most soap operas tend to do is what makes this show a must see if you are a fan of the genre.  Now don't get wrong there is plenty of lying,backstabbing,crying, deaths and sleeping with the wrong people, I mean it is a soap opera..

My only issue with yesterdays announcement was the lack of acknowledgement shown to the amazing cast.  The absents of the magnificent Laura Wright(Carly) and Steve Burton(Jason) was very disapointing, but I am still happy for the other nominees from the show. I also feel that the show should have received a nomination in the Outstanding Drama Series Writing category.

 A win by Drew Garrett (Michael) in the outstanding younger actor category will be quite interesting, considering his surprise firing and eventual replacement by Chad Duell.

Here are the major soap categories. (The full list of nominations can be found here.)
