For his work on Days of Our Lives, Giddens has taken home a Writers Guild of America award and a Daytime Emmy award for his work.
O’Connor, on the other hand, began his career on One Life to Live and transitioned to General Hospital, where he also received a Writers Guild of America award and a Daytime Emmy award for his work.
