Days of Our Lives - NEWS ROOM

Soaps.com spoke with Blake Berris earlier today, to congratulate him about his Emmy Nomination. Blake thanked us for the congratulations and said, "Rachel (Melvin, Chelsea Brady, DOOL) actually called me and told me [about the nomination]. I was making eggs and I knew it was the day, so when I saw Rachel's number, my stomach kinda dropped because I knew she would probably have news, good or bad. Then she told me and I think screamed some profanities and then ran around my house like a crazy person." When asked about his thoughts on the rest of the DOOL nominees and his feelings about the show's 13 nominations, Blake says, "I am so proud of everyone at Days. They have been dealt some tough cards lately and this validation really is a testament to the work ethic over there." Because Soaps.com is waiting on the Emmy reels, we weren't certain of which clip Berris sent in. He let us know, "The episode I chose to submit was the one where Nick finally admits to Melanie that he killed Trent." You all remember that scene, don't you? It was a must-see moment and no wonder he was nominated and Soaps.com couldn't be happier for him, and for Darin Brooks, who is in the same category with a nod! Read Darin's reaction, here, and Rackel Melvin's reaction to her nom, here.
