2006 Daytime Emmys: Younger Male

This is a fun category that includes Passions' (well NBC's for that matter) lone nominee.

Nominees and Episodes

Van Hansis, ATWT
Holden and Luke talk about Luke's behavior
Luke and Damian have it out over family legacy/gayness

Bryton McClure, YR
Devon says goodbye to birth mother
Devon confront Carmen about Dru

Tom Pelphrey, GL
Jonathan and Reva at the bridge
Jonathan finds out Reva has not drove off bridge

Jesse Soffer, ATWT
Gwen confronts Will about his one night stand with Jade
Will begs for forgiveness from Gwen

James Stevenson, PS
Jared at job interview; learns Theresa's identity
Jared & Ethan get into argument


Van Hansis is very good and shows some depth including much anger is his argument with Damian.

Bryton could very well win. He is outstanding when I focus on him on these reels. However, when I watch the show he just an "also there" and doesn't pop out. Of course, this could say more about his character than the actor playing that role.

Tom Pelphrey is outstanding in both episodes. The only thing that might keep him from back-to-back Emmy's is that he cries in both episodes.

Jesse Soffer is just wonderful. My only concern is that Jennifer Landon is just "more wonderfuller" that she might outshine him. This could be his year.

James Stevenson has two good episodes and shows a lot of emotions. Unfortunately, he has silly Passions' writing to act with and that will only count against him.

Who will win: Van Hansis

Who should win: Pelphrey

I would vote for:
Soffer
