Nuke on Pre-Emmy list, "As the World Turns" writers still on ... different list

Good news for fans of Van Hansis and Jake Silberman. The PTB at As The World Turns have submitted their names for Daytime Emmy nods. Each year, every soap opera submits a list of names from their show they feel deserve Emmy recognition. It's the equivalent of the "For Your Consideration" Oscar campaigns, but without ... the campaigning. Nuke has been put forward in the "Outstanding Younger Actor" category, along with Jesse Lee Sofer, who despite the name, is NOT a southern sheriff in Eat My Dust, but part of the "babymama" drama.

It's a deserving tribute to Van and Jake, just for surviving this show with their dignity intact. I sometimes get the feeling that the writing sessions on ATWT involve Yale graduated scribes, some #2 pencils ... and a book of MAD LIBS.

LUKE AND NOAH ARE ABOUT TO KISS BUT ARE INTERRUPTED BY A __(noun)___ THAT ___(verb)___ , SO THEY GAZE LONGINGLY INTO EACH OTHER'S ___(body part)___ AND DECIDE TO ____(boring farm chore)___ INSTEAD.

In sadder news, ventriloquist puppet/writer's caffeine induced hallucination Cowboy Jack has been ruled ineligible for Emmy consideration, which is a shame considering he gave his all to the role.
