Our Performer of the Week is General Hospital’s Katelyn MacMullen!
WOW! We were completely blown away by Katelyn’s performance this week as Willow learned of the truth about her baby’s death. She was captivating and raw as Willow went through shock, anger, and heartbreak in a matter of moments. We knew that those scenes were coming but we could’ve never guessed how beautifully heartbreaking they would be. Bravo, Katelyn!
Our Honorable Mentions are:
The Young and the Restless’ Mishael Morgan (Amanda)
We all know how amazing an actress Mishael Morgan is and she proved that once again this week. After Amanda’s ex Ripley mistakenly stabbed Victoria instead of her, she was in a state of shock. We watched as she went through the fear and guilt of the situation. The what-ifs plaguing her as she was left on her own to process everything. Mishael was perfect at silent conveying the range of emotions that Amanda went through.
General Hospital’s Chad Duell (Michael)
Michael FINALLY has his son back! Hallelujah! We’ve been waiting more than a year to see Michael’s reaction to the news that his son had been alive living with Brad and Lucas this whole time. And Chad Duell did not disappoint with his performance! After Michael made it out of his state of shock, he laid into Brad for his deceit with raw anger that was believable of a man who had time with his child stolen. We’d also like to give kudos Ryan Carnes for the final scene where Lucas did the heartbreaking but right thing by handing Wiley over to Michael.
