WOW. What year is this. I want to watch it. Sounds brutal.

2009, I believe. A very lurid era for the show.

Y&R: Adam dressing up as Victor’s dead wife Sabrina to gaslight and torture a pregnant, mentally fragile Ashley, leading her to fall down the stairs and miscarry, with Adam quickly disposing of the fetus in the Newman Ranch fireplace. Then, with Ashley suffering a hysterical pregnancy, Adam steals baby Faith from Sharon and gives it to Ashley, letting Sharon believe her baby died just a few years after she’d tragically lost Cassie.

TCM are usually very good at these "In Memoriam", and this was no exception. The A.M.P.A.S could learn a thing or two from them....

And NATAS. We were just taking about the lackluster montage at the Daytime Emmys. TCM puts obvious care into these packages with the well-chosen audio clips and clever match cuts.

Tbf that actor that played Noah literally knew one emotion, man pain. When he and nuChance were on at the same time it was like having all joy sucked out of you.

Connor Floyd at least seems fun IRL. Chance allows him to show none of that.

Michelle Stafford (along with Finola Hughes) was on Pacific Palisades and did a few guest spots between her first couple of Y&R stints.

Vanessa Marcil slipped in stints on BH90210 and her leading part on Las Vegas during her breaks from GH.

Are you all talking about Audra's backstory with Noah back when I was hoping for an Allie/Noah/Audra triangle since she's the one who broke his heart in London with him coming back depressed?

That’s the one. That was such a non starter.

Noah was moping around wearing black for absolutely nothing.

Susan (Lucci) in a similar vein had a lot of primetime work in the 80s and 90s, numerous TV movies and guest spots. But she stayed with AMC the entire time. I know she was loyal to the show but I wonder why she never left, I'm sure she was offered plenty of opportunities.

Victoria Rowell did Y&R and Diagnosis: Murder simultaneously somehow. Full-time on both shows. It seems like daytime actors used to do a lot more primetime/outside gigs than they do now.

I believe Hillary B. Smith played Nora on OLTL and did her (short-lived) NBC sitcom with Gene Wilder at the same time as well.

Ncuti thinks the Doctor is an Aquarius (like me). Haha, fun clip:

Justin Hartley: was a breakout star on PASSIONS as Fox, then booked Smallville and later Revenge before returning to daytime to play Adam on Y&R. Of course, he later got a role on this NBC primetime drama called This is Us…

An update from David Simon on streaming for Homicide in light of André Braugher’s passing:

I have been informed by a reliable source that NBC/Universal is at last attempting, along with Fremantle on the overseas rights, to clear music rights on #Homicide for eventual streaming. Lot of work to do achieve that, however, I am also told.

Andre alone ought to rate such.

Film is carefully cut to tempo, melody and theme of music especially in montage sequences. You can sub anything for anything. And [!@#$%^&*] it up.

Granted, the network promo wasn’t great, and it was a postponed and quickly rescheduled ceremony, but those ratings are pathetic. Lowest of the night on among the broadcast networks. I wonder what the viewership by half-hour was.

Nice, sure...but I did not appreciate that he was singled out while other actors were shelved into the Memoriam.

Oh totally. I was watching in real time, so was hopeful that they’d do more of those types of tributes throughout the ceremony. I was disappointed that they didn’t. Obviously, Jackie Zeman’s passing was almost completely ignored, and she’s a five-decade icon of soaps and multiple Emmy nominee who was still part of her show. 

It was definitely clear that no one in production had much love for soaps.  Why not super serve your viewers? The only people watching an Emmy ceremony… on a Friday night… during the holidays… following a tree-lighting ceremony… are going to be loyal daytime fans.

I get that the leaders of these organizations have obligations, but the president’s speech and the presentation of the medals also ate up a lot of time that could have gone to other things (like clips, which are a huge part of awards ceremonies). And the Primetime Emmy ceremonies had started to cut a lot of the presenters’ banter in recent years, which give them more time for clips. Just a very dull and disrespectful production last night.

The SAG Awards do a great In Memoriam year after year and they are just a little over three minutes. Very simple concept. Obviously the Academy is too cheap to acquire the clips and/or cut them together:

You know what's missing? A room full of crazy ass rabid fans. This is just boring, it lacks all of the fun and excitement of years past. But frankly, what's left to be a fan of? Daytime's a shell of its former self.

Word. 

Are they running short? Feels like Sherri was told to vamp a bit.

Glad Y&R didn’t win. FV seemed woefully unprepared for this speech. No mention of Jackie Zeman?

They love JMW. The new Erika Slezak.

Thorsten?!?!

Younger actor and guest actor have always felt like filler, and both have a history of controversy. 

Obviously, without the cooking and kids shows awards, the Daytime Emmys need some reason to fill two hours.

I’d love some clips from the nominees.

These soap anniversary tributes suck. They’re in no way honoring the histories of these shows. The clips for the GH one were even more recent than Y&R’s selections.

The choice for some of the shows they're mentioning for several of the actors. Wow.

Glad they included Ellen Holly given how recent her passing was. But they pissed Shirley Anne Field.

Yeah, Rebecca Hotchkiss for Andrea Evans? 

No Lucinda for Liz Hubbard?

Happy for Alley Mills. She looks great.

She does look good. So glad she’s thriving after the horrifying way she lost her husband.

They should have at least gotten a fair chance to win.

Even though I’ve always thought the categories were somewhat dumb, I get the reason why the Younger Actor/Actress Emmys once existed (to an extent). However, daytime doesn’t have the deep community of young, high-profile performers it once had. Let the very best compete in the Supporting categories with the adults.

Shemar is doing the most, as usual.

Did you tell her it’s actually “those kids”?

Nope. My mom knows English.

The Younger category should be done away with. Hasn’t made sense in years.
