They seemed to agree with what a lot of us think! Love it that Casey Moss (JJ) was named hottest male in daytime out of all the soap actors!
I'm posting the DAYS mentions below. For the full article, click the link at the end of this post.BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR (tie)
Nicolas Bechtel (Spencer, General Hospital)
Blake Berris (Nick, Days of our Lives)
A Bechtel scene is always going to entertain. He holds his own opposite the likes of Geary and Benard (two of the all-time greats) and steals the show in just about every GH episode he's in as the precocious Spencer Cassadine. If the Daytime Emmys must include the unnecessary "Younger Actor" category, Bechtel needs to win it instead of the usual 20-something. Meanwhile, Berris' raw, emotionally damaged Nick Fallon on Days is one of the most interesting characters to come along in years. I can't imagine a world in which Berris does not become a big movie star.
Other Top Performers: Sean Kanan (Deacon, The Bold and the Beautiful; John Aniston (Victor, Days of our Lives); Dick Christie (Charlie, The Bold and the Beautiful); Chris L. McKenna (Mark, The Young and the Restless); Daniel Cosgrove (Aiden, Days of our Lives)

BEST DREAM
EJ DiMera, Days of our Lives
For over half the episode on April 21, it looked like Sami had finally found out about Abigail (Kate Mansi) and EJ's affair, and all hell broke loose, becoming more campy along the way. Sweeney and Scott both gave fantastic performances.
——
WORST STORYLINE
Jordan's Secret, Days of our Lives
Started in summer 2013, Jordan's secret took forever to play out, and was likely changed by the writers along the way. It was boring, a complete waste of time, and it's not clear if anyone cared by the time it was revealed. Days also wasted a much more interesting character along the way, Sheryl (played by Jade Harlow).
——
WORST COUPLE
Rafe & Jordan, Days of our Lives
A lack of chemistry and terrible storyline doomed these two.
——
BEST OLD-SCHOOL ROMANCE
Hope & Aiden, Days of our Lives
It was never going to be easy to find a new man for Hope Williams Brady (Kristian Alfonso), tied to Bo for decades, but the slow build of Hope and Aiden Jennings (Daniel Cosgrove) was the perfect way to ease viewers into the idea. Hope coming to terms with her feelings for a new man has been played realistically, and it's nice to see Hope smile again. Let's just hope Aiden isn't a wife-murdering psycho.
——
BEST FRIENDS
Theresa & Anne, Days of our Lives
Theresa Donovan (Jen Lilley) and Anne Millbauer (Meredith Scott Lynn) are two bad girls who were destined to be friends. I want to see them in a road trip storyline worthy of Thelma & Louise.
Note: The actresses also combined for the years best
soap opera rap video.
——
BEST WEAPON (PRE-MADE)
Theresa's Fire Poker, Days of our Lives
The fire poker, used so effectively by Theresa, was a big part of a lead story on Days in 2014. Theresa knocked John into a coma with it and let Brady take the fall.
——
BEST FRENEMIES
Kate & Sami, Days of our Lives
Who would have thought the relationship between these two former bitter enemies would be one of the strongest friendships of the year? As Alison Sweeney said goodbye to Days after 21 years, Sami's relationship with Kate was one of her most special.
—
BEST MALE NEWCOMER
Christopher Sean (Paul, Days of our Lives)
Sean instantly gave Days a boost by flirting with the women of Salem and planting a kiss on Sonny. In less than two months, his story is already more compelling than a number of characters that have been around for much longer.
Note: Despite making his Days debut on November 7, Christopher Sean was the most-searched actor of the year at Serial Scoop.
——
WORST BUSYBODY
Maggie Horton, Days of our Lives
Maggie spent the entire year trying to force her son and niece together, interfering, and giving advice when it wasn't asked for. Actress Suzanne Rogers did her best to give it heart, but Maggie needs to focus on herself a little more.
——
SEXIEST MALE
Casey Moss (JJ, Days of our Lives)
The sexiness of Moss edges GH's shirtless (and wet) Ryan Paevey (Nathan) by a smolder.
Serial Scoop 12 Hottest Hunks of 2014: Moss, Paevey, Jacob Young (Rick, The Bold and the Beautiful), Lawrence Saint-Victor (Carter, The Bold and the Beautiful), Bryan Craig (Morgan, General Hospital), Chris L. McKenna (Det. Harding, The Young and the Restless), Justin Hartley (Adam, The Young and the Restless), Billy Flynn (Chad, Days of our Lives), Ryan Carnes (Lucas, General Hospital), Scott Elrod (Joe, The Young and the Restless), Redaric Williams (Tyler, The Young and the Restless), Sean Blakemore (Sean, General Hospital)
——
MOST MISLEADING DEATH
EJ DiMera, Days of our Lives
With Alison Sweeney and James Scott leaving the soap, "EJami" fans were hoping EJ and Sami would leave town together. After EJ was murdered, Days viewers speculated it was a set up and EJ would turn up alive for a happy goodbye. It wasn't meant to be though and EJ stayed dead.
——
(Not DAYS-related, but worth mentioning)
WORST RED CARPET SHOW IN HISTORY
2014 Daytime Emmy Awards
Lauren Elizabeth (Twitter), Brittany Furlan (Vine), Jessica Harlow (Facebook), and Meghan Rosette (Instagram) were selected by Here Media to represent the Daytime Emmys on the red carpet and they embarrassed themselves, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) and the entire daytime community with their foul language, bad sex jokes, racist questions, and not having any idea who 99% of the people they interviewed were, including many legends and Emmy winners. A few months later and in true daytime failing up fashion, NATAS' David Michaels, Senior Executive Director of the Daytime Emmys, was given a promotion.
——
MOST BORING CHARACTER
Jordan Ridgeway, Days of our Lives
With a storyline going in circles and a boring romance, Jordan just didn't work.
----
Days' Kate DiMera
MOST ENTERTAINING CHARACTER
Kate DiMera, Days of our Lives
Kate is connected to everyone in Salem in one way or another, and Lauren Koslow brings her to life perfectly, making Kate scenes fun to watch. She keeps her enemies, and viewers, on their toes.
——
BEST RECAST (WITH A NEWCOMER)
Billy Flynn (Chad, Days of our Lives)
Chad DiMera is a new man, more grown up and ambitious, and Flynn has been on point so far, displaying chemistry with all his scene partners.
——
WORST WARDROBE
Days of our Lives
The shirts worn by Will Horton (Guy Wilson) could win any show this title but add in Eric's jacket and most of Nicole's closet and you have a fashion trainwreck, compounded on episodes where any of these people visit Club TBD.
——
BIGGEST WASTE OF TALENT
Arianne Zucker (Nicole, Days of our Lives)
With the departure of Alison Sweeney as Sami Brady, Zucker's Nicole Walker should be front and center, driving Salem stories instead of being mostly on the sidelines, or an afterthought.
