Full Length James Franco GH Promo

 

If only we could get James Franco on recurring!!!! And..did i just see Maxie (Kirsten Storms) rip his shirt off!!  Now that's what I'm talking about. I want more, more more! But now is that her laying on the floor tied up? One more point, why do they have a random shot of Carly groaning over Josslyn in her belly during the promo? Or is this new? Whatever it is, this is the most I've anticipated GH for a while, and I never thought I would since Sarah Brown left. Well, at least she's in the promo too!

Soaps-Now's 2009 Daytime Emmy Predictions!

Outstanding Drama Series
Who would have competed from jump start: Y&R would have won hands down if they submitted Sabrina's funeral, Victor and Nikki in Mexico, or Kay's death. You know, OLTL wasn't bad during Nash's death and the aftermath of Dorian's takeover, Sarah's plunging down the river, or the Bitchy Bangs' wedding.
Who should win: B&B's acting, great storylines (ex. Katie and Storm) should propel the #2 sudser in America to the top prize.
Who will win: However AMC's CGI tornado which received mixed reviews from critics could very well in the prize. I didn't think it was too shabby, and we lost faux Babe. DAYS plane crash was great but I don't think it's a lock.
Ranking the noms: 1) B&B, 2) AMC, 3) DAYS
Likelihood of taking home the prize (1-10, 10 highest): B&B - 8, AMC - 6, DAYS - 4

Outstanding Directing
Who should win: Even though DAYS plane crash was done well, OLTL's Who Wants to be a Millionaire-esque seen should prevail.
Who will win: AMC's tornado has a shot of taking the gold with the perfection that was DAYS and OLTL.
Ranking the noms: 1) DAYS, 2) OLTL, 3) AMC
Likelihood of taking home the prize (1-10, 10 highest): DAYS - 6, OLTL -6, AMC -4

Outstanding Writing
Who should win: B&B, OLTL is close.
Who will win: B&B, but pulling up for the underdog, OLTL may take the prize.
Ranking the noms: 1) OLTL, 2) B&B, 3)AMC 4)GH
Likelihood of taking home the prize (1-10, 10 highest): B&B - 7, OLTL- 7, AMC-3, GH-2

Outstanding Lead Actress
Who should win: This category is hands down the most competitive category, and I see two possible "should-wins" in AMC's Debbi Morgan and Y&R's Jeanne Cooper. OLTL's Susan Haskell should come up pretty good too.
Who will win: It will be a tough battle between Cooper and Morgan but I think Jeanne Cooper will prevail.
Ranking the noms: 1) Jeanne Cooper, 2)Debbi Morgan, 3)Susan Haskell, 4)Susan Flannery, 5) Maura West
Likelihood of taking home the prize: Cooper - 8, Morgan- 7, Haskell-6, Flannery-3, West-1

Outstanding Lead Actor
Who would have competed from jump start: It would have been a battle between Trevor St. John (Todd, OLTL) and Eric Braeden (Victor, Y&R)
Who should win: DAYS' Peter Reckell absolutely. Y&R's LeBlanc has a slim upset chance.
Who Will Win: Reckell should pull the overall victory. LeBlanc could easily challenge though, and emmy fave GH's Anthony Geary. Although I even think AMC's Thorsten Kaye's scenes or GL's Daniel Cosgrove's could challenge that court ordeal dream sequence with Luke. Emmy favies Geary and LeBlanc don't need to take a trophy this year.
Ranking the noms: 1) Peter Reckell, 2) Christian LeBlanc, 3)Daniel Cosgrove, 4) Thorsten Kaye, 5) Anthony Geary
Likelihood of taking home the prize: Reckell - 8, LeBlanc - 5, Cosgrove- 3, Kaye-1, Geary-5

Outstanding Supporting Actress
Who would have competed from jump start: I don't think I've said this before, but I'm not a Kathy Brier fan, but I was soon turned into one when she changed her hair, and had to admit he might could have made this list.
Who should win: Bree Williamson performed brilliantly as first of all flipping out after Nash's death, then as Jess and her alters, and she deserves to win gold this year.
Who will win: Definitely, no doubt about it Williamson will take home the trophy this year. Tamara Braun will strongly contend as another wack, Ava on DAYS. If heavy hitter Williamson and Braun weren't in the category, the under-under dog Mellissa Claire Egan may have had a chance as another wack yet again Annie on AMC, and maybe Alicia Minshew as AMC's Kendall. I wasn't too sold on ATWT's Julie Pinson, but hey, like I say I'm not an avid ATWT fan.
Ranking the noms: 1)Bree Williaamson, 2)Tamara Braun, 3)Melissa Claire Egan, 4)Alicia Minshew, 5) Julie Pinson
Likelihood of taking home the prize: Williamson - 9, Braun -3, Egan - 3, Minshew -2, Pinson-1

Outstanding Supporting Actor
Who would have competed from jump start: Sad shame Y&R's Michael Graziadei wasn't on here.
Who should win: Almost every pundit is betting on GL's Jeff Branson, who was great. But however, I'm going for a semi-equaled Jacob Young from AMC after Babe's death.
Who will win: As much as I'm rooting for Young and hoping he wins, the Academy will most likely go with Branson or ATWT's Van Hansis, who has done better in the past. Sorry Bradford Anderson but comedic won't win gold. Let's go Young!
Ranking the noms: 1) Jeff Branson, 2)Jacob Young, 3)Vincent Irizarry, 4)Van Hansis, 5)Bradford Anderson
Likelihood of taking home the prize: Branson-7, Young-6, Hansis-4, Irizarry-4, Anderson-2

Outstanding Younger Actress
Who would have competed from jump start: OLTL's Kristen Alderson has a case for a lawsuit to go down!
Who should win: GH's Kirsten Storms. However he co-star Julie Marie Berman's performances will challenge.
Who will win: It will be a Storms/Berman duel but I'm pulling for Kirsten but Julie may pull it out in the end.
Ranking the noms: 1)Kirsten Storms, 2)Julie Marie Berman, 3)Emily O'Brien, 4)Rachel Melvin, 5)Meredith Hagner
Likelihood of taking home the prize - Storms -8, Berman-7, O'Brien -4, Melvin-4, Hagner-2

Outstanding Younger Actor
Who would have competed from jump start: Not no way a case like Alderson has against the academy, but Brandon Buddy from OLTL should be mad as heck too! However, performances as druggy Cole should have him here next year. But we said that about Kristen Alderson too, and is she on this list?
Who should win: I'm all for Cornelius Smith, Jr. of AMC for the win!
Who will win: Great performers like ex-DAYS stars Blake Berris and Darin Brooks may steal the prize, along with Y&R's Bryton James.
Ranking the noms - 1)Cornelius Smith, Jr, 2)Darin Brooks, 3)Blake Berris, 4)Bryton James, 5)EJ Bonilla
Likelihood of taking home the prize - Smith- 6, Brooks - 6, Berris - 6, James- 4, Bonilla -1

Sole Lovin' on OLTL

Sometimes I see OLTL's teen group and I find myself wondering am I watching One Tree Hill or Degrassi or something. I hope no one shows this show in an abstinence classroom. Markko (Jason Tam) and Langston (Brittany Underwood) demand to have sex, then Cole (Brandon Buddy) and Starr (Kristen Alderson) hit the sack again! If TPTB think that parents of 17-18 year olds want to see children their age (on screen, that is) doing this activities, they have really bumped their heads. I'm not saying that a one-night-stand between teenagers doesn't make good storyline, but sooner or later I can see the writers having both couples in a full blown love affair! Seems like the show would explain love doesn't equal sex. So we can't get a half a love scene, some skin or something between our same-sex couples, but then it's right to show teenage sex? Come on, I'd much rather see Destiny (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew (Eddie Alderson) get into a spat with their rivals rather than this, really. This group used to be at the top tier of soap teen posses, but i'd rather see ATWT's Parker and Liberty or heck, even Y&R's Abby arguing with Eden over Noah.

But GH's Spixie lovin' was a funny scene! But WHYY that depressing love theme in the background instead of a hot sultry mambo.
