Nobody brings more wow-worth drama to television than soap opera actresses, which is certainly proven by the list of powerhouse performers who've been named this year's Daytime Emmy nominees in the Outstanding Lead Actress category. Their wow-worthy performances from 2019 are seared into viewers' brains forever, but for those fans who'd love to relive some of the magic, we've got good news! The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences just released highlights from the submission reels of this year's Lead Actress contenders.
As can be seen in the video (below), the snippets are just samples of each actress' full reel -- but just because they're short clips doesn't mean they're not incredibly riveting!
Check out the video below to see Katherine Kelly Lang as The Bold and the Beautiful's Brooke Logan, who's accosting Taylor (Hunter Tylo) for kissing her husband; Arianne Zucker as Days of our Lives' Nicole Walker, who's just been told her daughter is dead; Heather Tom as B&B's Katie Logan, who's blasting Flo (Katrina Bowden) for thinking her father would forgive her despicable actions; Maura West as General Hospital's Ava Jerome, who's confronting Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom) for killing her daughter; and Finola Hughes as GH's twin sisters Anna Devane and Alex Devane, who are discussing Duke's (Ian Buchanan) death.
Finishing the week, here are the #DaytimeEmmys nominees for Outstanding Lead Actress!
