I’ll cross my fingers that they win, as they are both very deserving of the recognition!

I am extremely happy this show is getting recognition. As well as Tanya and Christina. They both deserve it. But I gotta ask, why was Kyle Schmid left out of the nominations? In my opinion, a 23 year old guy, portraying a 470 year old vampire the way he did, takes great talent. He should be recognized for his ablilities as well. Good luck to Blood Ties, Tany and Christina!!!!!!

Thanks for commenting ladies. Yes, I agree that Kyle’s portrayal of Henry is absolutely fantastic especially considering how young Kyle really is.
I know I’ll be crossing my fingers hoping that both Tanya and Christina win. I’m assuming that both of you are from the U.S. – you can still vote if you really want to!

I have to agree about Kyle needing to be added. He was able to do those different accents so it would seem like he fit in the times… it was in a few episodes.

Thanks Mandi, I believe all BT fans are in agreement with you!
