The big bird doll thing happened at a GL luncheon….someone went and brought the voodoo doll against Laura Wright and was proud of it..showing it off to PAS this was when it was possible that Danny and Cassie would be a couple.

they announced that the acting awards would be given out by last year’s winner of the opposite sex along with a legacy aka past winner from years earlier. So Francesca James was there with Kelly Thiebaud to give out the supporting actor award, and they mentioned how Francesca was the second to get that honor and had other Emmy’s for work that wasn’t acting. All the other presenters from the past were currently still acting in the genre…

I thought the in memory section should include anyone who passed since the last Daytime Emmy show so it should include anyone who died after late June 2022.. (June 24 or so was the last ceremony) so it should have been nearly 18 months of people shown…

I am in shock. How awful for his family…

so will they be giving refunds to people who had digital subs? My memory is reading in the store, and also reading back issues in a local library storage room..

So they haven’t answered the question in regard to digital subscriptions and when the last print issue other than the specials was done…

Could they want to hire cheaper crew members? That was my first reaction to this situation sigh .

Have they said how many weeks and/or episodes it will be? Will there be a holiday hiatus?

Yes the increase for Amazon Prime if you want to keep the service without ads is extremely annoying. At least other vendors made the ad version less than what was standard. I just want to know more about the tentative deal, and how much of it could be ported to the SAG demands….

DWTS has one WGA member in their staff, so about 500 people are being picketed for one employee who is striking… it would be different if DWTS had any sort of replay value for the content that was written as dance routines are not covered by the strike.

With AMC stopped watching when they hired Megan McTavish back…and when they brought her to OLTL stopped watching that and was able to watch AMC again… and then only went back regularly to OLTL about 7 or more years later as every time I thought to watch again they did something I didn’t like.

This is just such a difficult situation. I hope Billy is at peace now, I am relieved his mother spoke out if only to clear up the wrong information.

The View is part of the news department, which is why I think there are less complaints as people aren’t picketing news broadcasts as they are not considered struck work. Cable news would have had to stop if those writers where WGA members… Drew and The Talk have or had WGA writers on staff like the late night talk shows…that is where the issue comes from probably.

Obit from Emerson, where she graduated from college, quotes from friends and classmates. https://today.emerson.edu/2023/08/30/arleen-sorkin-77-remembered-as-talented-hilarious-big-hearted/

GH actually preempts episodes nationally so that is probably why it was a lackluster Friday.

Thank you @Paul Raven for the response.

Supposedly GL for a time while on radio was produced in California I read that many years ago so can’t source it. Does anyone else have a recollection of this or was it some wild theory to explain the show moving location within the story?

So instead of picking up a syndicated show with Rachael Ray ending they decided to go with news, interesting. Abc7 in NYC did the same when Oprah ended added an hour of local news, it also shows the issues with making a new successful talk show.

DRW50 the video is gone what was it?

If it goes to court then the people who are now anonymous may be made public. A part of me wants a settlement to avoid that, but I don’t want Alarr to win.

Thank goodness but awful how long it went on and the damage it caused.

Aren’t the striking writers losing health insurance and those who are ficore are able to still get it? I recall people using that reason in the last strike as why at least one soap writer (Fran Myers) did it for the insurance. That may have just been a rumor, though we do know her late husband was battling cancer.

The people reading the social media for Peacock who answer questions about a streaming service and don’t deserve to get flack for reports of an abusive person at Days of Our Lives.

Can someone go through the list of people who were dropped? Though with days so far ahead some of those people aren’t technically off screen yet right?

If Molly was the only sibling it would be less frustrating, but she doesn’t seem like the younger sister in scenes with Kristina which is an issue.
