As the 2012 MLB regular season draws to a close and the hunt for October intensifies, both new and familiar faces are taking over the national spotlight.

Like all good television, the NFL has its fair share of action and drama. But after the past two weeks, pencil this season in to sweep the Daytime Emmy Awards for the most dramatic soap opera on television.
