I was watching all 4 of these shows back then (I had more free time - I was in college, LOL!) ... anyway, at the time I was upset that of my ABC gals didn't win but, looking back, Jess DID rock that storyline! She's an amazing actress. So is Phyllis.

The people Jess was thanking was the real creative force of Y&R, that's how Y&R stayed good, but today's Y&R's producers and writers can't get the same credit. Y&R really needs Edward Scott back and I could see GH's then EP Wendy Riche coming on to and be rid of today's Y&R producers.

Y&R dont win crap now...hmmm writing staff maybe?......duh!!!

[AcaciaMorgan]

@ocd4lane the only thing Y&R wins is ratings. They're #1 in daytime.

Jess is a very deserving actress. She's had some incredible work these past few weeks with her mom(adopted) dying, and finding out who her real family is. I hope she's nominated and WINS next year! Unless, Michelle Stafford is nominated in the same category, lol!!!

[soaphunks]

Genie Francis's work on GH during that year was the best work I have seen by ANY daytime actress in ANY year. That she lost that year is an absolute travesty.

[Plasvi]

she totally deserved this :)
