Emmy

A typical soap opera airs over 250 original episodes per year. When it comes to Emmy night, determining the best of the best comes down to just 20 minutes from no more than four episodes. These are the episodes submitted by this year's Outstanding Writing and Directing Team contenders.

These are the clips submitted by the Writing and Directing nominees this year for Emmy consideration. We've provided synopses for each clip and provided links to our comprehensive recaps of those episodes so that you can get a better feel for what action took place.
