Oh gosh! This category is always so hard.

Genie Francis was only on for a few weeks, so I came into this with a negative feeling towards her nominations. However, her episodes are wonderful and she is the definitive frontrunner. Her realization that her recovery is only temporary is just heart breaking. She then shows a range of emotions from lost and confused to sadly saying goodbye to her children.

Renee Goldsberry has completely unbalanced episodes. The first episode is great as we see her go from disbelief to mourning over John's death. The second episode, while a highlight for fans of Evangaline and Cris, love scenes do not make stellar acting.

Rebecca Herbst has some okay stuff. However, my reel was in opposite order of how they actually aired and from what I understand, the way she submitted. So, it is a bit confusing for her to be pregnant in one eppy then in the next eppy she is drinking and making that baby.

Leslie Kay's submissions had emmy buzz when they first aired. However, that was almost a year and a half ago and things have changed. She is giving Genie Francis a run for her money, and my vote would go to Kay. More because she is a permanent cast member and not a "guest star". (They really need a new category.)

Gina Tognoni shows both humor and outrage. I think she could have picked better episodes and possibly repeated. However, I won't completely count her out.

Heather Tom has a good first tape and it is probably the episode that will win her scene partner, Dan Guathier, an emmy. I am just not sure it works for her. The second episode centers more on her character, however she doesn't garner sympathy or show a range of emotion.


Who will win: Genie Francis

Who should win: Lesli Kay or Genie Francis (both stellar)

I would vote for: Lesli Kay

Don't count out: Gina Tognoni
