2018 Daytime Emmy Writing and Directing team nominees: The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and The Young and the Restless
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. To get all the additional details, just click on the appropriate links.

Reels for this category have not yet been released. Please continue to check Soap Central for updates and follow us on Twitter (@soapcentral) and Facebook to be alerted when the reels are posted
