The nominations for this year's first annual Dankies provide quite interesting for One Life to Live. There was no clear-cut favorite, as most of the nominations were divided evenly among several performers.
Among the women, Catherine Hickland (Lindsay Rappaport) and Hillary B Smith (Nora Buchanan) nosed to the front of the nominations pack. Hickland earned five honors, including nominations for Favorite and Least Favorite Character (Lindsay Rappaport). Smith earned four nominations. Newcomer Charissa Chamorro (Sophia Pellegrino) garnered a very respectable four nominations.
Among the men, Roger Howarth (Todd Manning) and Ty Treadway (Colin Mac Iver) were the big nominees. Howarth gobbled up four nominations, including Most Attractive Actor and Outstanding Leading Actor. Treadway took three nominations, including Outstanding Supporting Actor and Outstanding Overall Performer.
Nora's kidnapping storyline was honored with several nominations including Favorite Storyline, Least Favorite Storyline and Most Memorable Moment for the scenes in which Nora was finally free from her makeshift prison.
Actress Robin Strasser pulled off a double honor, earing nods for her work as Dorian Lord in the Most Missed Performer category and for
Outstanding Recurring Role or Special Guest as Passions' Hecuba.
The first phase of the Dankies balloting took place throughout December and part of January. In this phase all OLTL Online users were asked to offer their choices for the best of the best of One Life to Live over the past year. These users were allowed to nominate any performer or storyline that they felt fit the various categories. When balloting closed, Soap Opera Central tabulated all of the nominations.
