Congrats to the cast, crew and writers of the uber popular soap "General Hospital". The show leads the way with 23 Daytime Emmy nominations! So very deserving of this extremely talented group of people who put out the best quality work on television. Bravo!
Sooooo happy for Maurice Benard, Anthony Geary, Laura Wright, Sean Blakemore, Jonathan Jackson, Jason Cook, Jason Thompson, Debbie Morgan, Darnell Williams, Nancy Lee Grahn, Rebecca Herbst, Chad Duell, Bradford Anderson and Nathan Parsons!!! They have all been nominated for their acting performances. [Debbie Morgan & Darnell Williams are former AMC stars, who now appear on Y&R]
Special shoutout to Sean Blakemore who portrays "Shawn Butler" on "General Hospital". He began the show on a recurring basis only and then due to his excellent acting skills, hella sexy swag and rapid popularity, he was offered a contract with the show. Sean inked a multi-year deal and now has been nominated for a Daytime Emmy!
