Soap actors are so underappreciated- they have INSANE work ethics. Soaps are mostly talking- the amount of dialogue they have to remember is incredible. It takes a primetime show like 8-11 days per episode, but soaps have to work at least five times as fast.

And not to brag on JJ again, lol, but his epic rant against Nikolas and Elizabeth that won him his fourth Emmy was mostly done in one take. Amazingggg.
