2006 Daytime Emmys: Supporting Male

Nominees and Episodes:

Trent Dawson, ATWT
Henry confronts Emily about Dusty
Henry confronts Louis about raping Maddie

Dan Gauthier, OLTL
Kevin and Kelly breakup; rips ring off finger
Kevin/Kelly discuss relationship and their big fight

Ric Hearst, GH
Sick in the hospital, wonders about his mother's love
Rick and Alexis argue about infidelity with her daughter

Greg Rikaart, YR
Tells Mac how much she has meant before she leaves
Confronts dad's body in the morgue

Kristoff St. John, YR
Neil finds out about Dru/Malcolm night together long ago
Neil realizes that, subsequently, Lily is not bio daughter


Trent's first episode shows some of the humor for which he is best known, the second shows a dramatic side. I really, really would be thrilled if Trent Dawson wins. However, this is probably not his year when looking at the competition.

Dan Gauthier knocks it out of the park with both episodes. I can't imagine that he won't win.

Ric Hearst is good and has some intense stuff—could be a surprise winner.

Greg Rikaart has an okay first episode but a great second episode. I guess if you have some inconsistencies, make sure you leave them loving you with a spectacular second episode. Don't count him out.

Kristoff St. John has some meaty material that really plays into the history of Young and the Restless. He is my sentimental favorite just because of the storyline. In his performance he makes you tear up as he is hit with the reality that his family isn't quite what he always thought it was.

Who will win: Gauthier

Who should win: Gauthier

I would vote for: Gauthier or Rikaart (sorry Trent!)
