Best Limited Run
Mary Kay Adams, As the World Turns

When Neal Alcott was murdered, ATWT fans wrote to us, imploring the show to bring Neal back to life. It's not unusual for viewers to plead for the return of a popular character--except that in this case, Neal had only been in Oakdale for six months.
It usually takes much longer for an actress to make such an indelible impression, but Mary Kay Adams brought such energy and charm to the role that we were immediately capitivated. She was also handed a dandy storyline and enjoyed instant rapport with co-stars Elizabeth Hubbard (Lucinda), Terry Lester (Royce) and Joesph Breen (ex-Scott).
We admired Neal's devotion to Royce, were entertained by her quirky friendship with Lucinda, and empathized with her anguish at having to keep her family ties a secret. A powerhouse performer, we'd welcome Adams on any soap, any time.
