All these young people dying is so disturbing and depressing. Especially people who were once in our homes every weekday not *that* ago.

Wow. The awful shocking losses continue.

No cause it's been told to us ad nauseam that it's easier to win in supporting than it is in lead that's why those people did that
Same as the Oscars. In what world was Tatum O’Neal “supporting” in Paper Moon? Timothy Hutton in Ordinary People? Viola Davis winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for playing the same role she won a Best Lead Actress Tony for? Or even the reverse with Olivia Colman winning Best Actress in a movie where Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone were co-leads (and competing against each other in Supporting Actress). It’s all strategy to have the best chances to win. I wish there was a more objective way for placement but politics and powerful $$$$$ voices always get in the way.

Susan Lucci last nomination was 2002 but not sure if she submitted 2003-2012.
Lead was for superstars and long-tenured veterans. Supporting was the holding tank for those who aged out of the younger category but were not quite at superstar level or had enough years to be considered long-tenured veterans.
Yeah, that’s definitely shifted in the past decade as the soaps have dwindled and the perennials like Slezak, Zimmer, Flannery, Lucci, and Jeanne Cooper either have been largely sidelined or had their shows cancelled, retired, or died. We still have vet/star nominees like Bergman, Stafford, Maura West, and Finola Hughes, but folks like Mishael Morgan, MCE, et al. would have submitted in the Supporting categories back in the day.

Yeah, category fraud. I’m sure it was in deference to (or to avoid competition with) the more tenured marquee stars. Not sure if SL was still submitting throughout the 2000s. AM did get a Lead nod for Kendall in 2011 (alongside Debbi Morgan) but lost to Laura Wright.
Back in the day, it often felt like Lead vs. Supporting was more about the performer’s public/industry profile vs. how much his/her character drove that year’s story.

How come Phillip "Chance" Chancellor IV is more interesting as an 8-year-old boy than he is as a 29-year-old man? #YR pic.twitter.com/5xEUPO2vnX

It’s fascinating: These show-by-show roundups (which are mostly spot-on in a “duh” kinda way) reveal so much about these shows in their choices and what they *don’t* talk about. Victor/Nikki as Best Couple is kinda hilarious.

As much as I think these kids are too old and there are too many of them, it's nice to see them finally pull the trigger on Aiden being LGBT. The scene with Liz was well-played - that's the kind of thing soaps can and should do. I'm not sure that kid can act and I expect we won't see him for another six months though lol, which is why I still prefer they do a more low-key element of the same story with Jake and free him from that mutant.
Violet must die.
I saw a clip. It really was perfectly played by EH. I actually thought the brevity/compressed nature of the scene worked here (partially because the young actor is so green), although these shouldn’t be the norm. And yes—GH opens a lot of interesting doors and quickly slams them shut to focus on the safe “faves.”

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?

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.

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.
— David Simon (@AoDespair) December 17, 2023
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.

Going through his IG, he did look gaunt in recent months. Cancer can be such a cruel disease, whether it’s aggressive or lingers for years. His parents are both still alive according to his NYT obit. Their hearts must be shattered. Deaths around the holidays can ruin that season forever, as many of us know.
