Yep Sheridan was put THROUGH it. That actress must have been exhausted playing her. More commentary on the January 2001 episodes: John/Marlena/Roman The conflict between them in these episodes centre about Brady and his hatred for Marlena. He’s a real brat. He’s like the male version of Sami in these episodes. I am actually rooting a for a Roman/Marlena reunion in this moment and just basing that preference strictly on this specific storyline (with no prior knowledge of their relationship from previous years), but John is annoying me for not being able to see how manipulative Brady is being. Bo/Hope I am just now finally starting to understand their storyline after about 20 episodes and the whole princess Gina thing. I gotta say that whole thing was pretty stupid. I’m sure it looked really cool on screen back then because they had the budget to pull it off and make it interesting but Hope thinking she’s princess Gina is not going to be a favourite storyline of mine. Lexie/Abe So Lexie has Bo and Hopes baby but doesn’t know it, an Bo and Hope have Marlo’s baby who was pushed down the stairs by Stefano? Do I have that right? Lol the whole thing was a little confusing to wrap my head around but I’m at the part where everyone is in Paris and Stefano is trying to convince Lexie to stay there (I’m assuming it’s because Stefano doesn’t want Hope to get close to her baby). I’m enjoying the internal battle Lexie is having with accepting that she is a “true DiMera”. Sami/Brandon/Austin/Greta This storyline is definitely among the most interesting ones for me right now because I love scheming Sami and the whole “tape” drama where Lucas confesses to killing Franco. Her and Kate are battling it out for who gets the tape and I’m obviously rooting for Sami but Kate’s scheming is very entertaining to watch as well. I also like the chemistry between Brandon and Sami. She finally has a man who is interested in her for who she really is but she can’t get Austin off her brain ofcourse. Nicole/Victor/Kate This is another fun storyline to watch but I’m slightly perplexed by Nicole’s motives because on one hand she seems completely motivated by money but on the other hand she actually seems to have real genuine feelings for Victor, so I guess I just need to keep watching. Victor is now aware that Kate put a hit out on him and has already exposed her to their son Philip who saw Kate screwing another man (yikes). I am rooting for Nicole because I can’t stand Kate, so whether it’s Sami or Nicole or takes Kate down, both would be equally delicious. Shawn/Belle/Mimi/Philip/Chloe I didn’t realize how corny the writing was for the teens back then. I thought that it was a new problem where writers just don’t know how to incorporate pop culture and lingo into their writing because they’re old. Well clearly they were just as old and out of touch back then too. All that aside, the writing and storylines are still solid and they’re doing a good job of building up these couples so the viewers become invested in them. I’m excited for when crazy Jan starts to really lose her [!@#$%^&*]. Chloe seems to be in a love/hate relationship with Brady and Philip is becoming jealous of that. That will end up becoming a solid triangle there. Shawn and Belle are adorable and I really loved the first Shawn, I can see the early signs of Mimi becoming a problem with them though. Jennifer Jennifer was really backburned during this time and kind of on an island. I have been enjoying her scenes with Alice at the Horton house but we don’t seem to know yet what’s really going on between her and Jack. Alice has set it up so that Jennifer is going to the Coronation in Paris and sending Jack there to meet her so I’m assuming there will be a reunion at some point (whether or not it’s a happy reunion though, I am yet to find out)

I’m watching Days from January 2001 onwards and I’m close to the Coronation episodes. I was watching Passions during these years but not Days (mainly because Passions was on after school and Days was not. It aired too early in the day here in Canada). The question I have which I’m dying to know, is if JER was purposely ripping off storylines from Days and writing it into Passions with just slight differences? I know he was head writer for Days in the 90s but it seems like his storylines for Passions are a rip off of what Days was doing after he left. Sami’s execution being the most obvious to me at the moment because JER did a storyline involving Theresa’s execution just a year later & oddly enough the plots are almost identical. Sami was being accused of Franco’s murder when it was really Lucas who did it & on Passions Theresa was on death row to protect Ethan for killing Julian & she took the blame. I’m sure I’ll pick up on more examples as I continue watching these early 2000s episodes.

I wanted Sharon Case to win. I feel like her Emmy is long overdue but I don’t know if the stuff she submitted was necessarily Emmy worthy. I saw the Heather s/l and I just feel like she’s been doing this over acting thing a lot lately and it’s so bizarre to me because SC has never had to do that in her acting. It’s one of the main reasons I always loved her. I still would have wanted her to take that Emmy though. Super super happy Susan Walters won. Well deserved. She is such a joy to watch and it’s so weird how I consider her as one of the vets even though she hasn’t been on the show for as many years as the others but she just gives that classic Y&R feel without having to try.

😂 I was like why is she right up there?

I’m talking about this category specifically. The reason for my comment is because this category had so many Y&R people.

Wow. Not a single Y&R person won. Well, atleast it wasn’t Michelle Stafford again.

Greg Rikaart pretending to be overly excited to over compensate for how pissed he is for losing 😆

I’m pretty sure you can rewatch the stream here: https://watch.theemmys.tv this is I’m watching right now on my fire stick

Not familiar with Lisa Yamada but she acted the hell out of that crying scene they showed. I can see why she won. 🏆

She really does. That dress is gorgeous.

Can we get back to the soaps please 🥱

So many of these shows I had no idea were considered daytime tv. A lot of these are like, hangover Sunday couch day shows

I take that too. Two capsules every night. Goodnight 💤

Jennifer Hudson is bored af

R.I.P to all those people but like how long is this gonna go on for?

I hate it when I hear stuff like “so and so has won 6 EMMYS” and it’s some dude in his 40s who isn’t even a veteran actor. Like how does that happen

Linden Ashbys crying in the background 🥰 so sweet. I love them.

Susan Walter’s let’s go !!!!!! 🤩

A Michelle Stafford sighting 👀

Why does that lady keep pronouncing orangutan's so weird

These are the kind of shows I put on in the background when I’m hungover and trying to take a nap. I didnt know they actually won Emmy’s

Michael Mealor is a great presenter. I expected him to be more nervous for some reason but he’s doing really well

I don’t watch GH but good for them. I’ve heard they have had a pretty decent year. Y&R certainly wouldn’t have deserved it 😂

Linden Ashby should have won. Boo 👎🏼

Mario Lopez is FINE
