Some of the biggest names in Hollywood got their start on soap operas, and we wouldn't be surprised if some of the stunning actresses who've been named this year's Daytime Emmy nominees in the Outstanding Young Performer category end up on that list. Don't believe us? See for yourself, as The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences just released highlights from the submission reels of this year's Young Performer contenders.
As can be seen in the video (below), the snippets are just samples of each performer's full reel -- but just because they're short clips doesn't mean they're not incredibly riveting!
Check out the video below to see Sasha Calle as The Young and the Restless' Lola Rosales, who's dismissing Kyle (Michael Mealor) after a surgery that saved her life; Olivia Rose Keegan as Days of our Lives' Claire Brady, who's torturing Ciara (Victoria Konefal); Katelyn MacMullen as General Hospital's Willow Tait, who's detailing her sickening induction into the Dawn of Day cult; Eden McCoy as GH's Josslyn Jacks, who's saying goodbye to her dying boyfriend, Oscar (Garren Stitt); and Thia Megia as DAYS' Haley Chen, who's having an emotional conversation with her boyfriend, J.J. (Casey Moss).
Here are the nominees for Outstanding Young Performer!
