Hold up, we have a future award winner on our hands. Before The Secret Circle's Shelley Hennig (Diana Meade) was squirting whipped cream all over innocent hipsters in Chance Harbor, she was dazzling middle-aged housewives as Stephanie in Days Of Our Lives!

Shelley hasn't appeared on Days since April 2011, but she's finally getting recognized for her talent. That's right, girl has been nominated for a Best Younger Actress award at the 39th Annual Daytime Emmys!

Fingers crossed that Shelley takes home a much-deserved win, and don't forget to tune into the Emmys on June 23rd (telecast info to be determined).

Congrats to our favorite teenage witch!
