AMC has now gotten recognition from both WGA and DGA in a year that by most, including me, was regarded as one of the worse years in the shows history.... does this mean the Emmy's are gonna shower them with love too? This will tell Frons "things are fine and his vision is the right one" Part of me wants major snubs just so it will be another reason to change things. Like as much as I am happy to see these people getting recognized (Casey Childs is an awesome director).... its just too much love for a show that wasn't very good (certainly not as good as we all know it could be) isn't a good thing.....

Y&R wasn't nominated but show destroyer Ellen Wheeler was!? :angry: How's that for her big ego? Wheeler is a better actress than she is an EP and director. Go back to acting, Wheeler! If GL really wants to win the 2008 Outstanding Drama Series, then Wheeler & Kreizman must be gone & Swajeski should be demoted.

Y&R has a great improved directing team; Noel Maxam and Andrew Lee should have been the ones nominated instead of Wheeler & Mertes. See what I said, the media & the entertainment industry are doing everything to prevent GL's cancellation by PGP. When in fact they should be focusing on IMPROVING the show.

GH has an outstanding directing team & I'm glad Ludel & McKinsey were recognized. But what about Owen Renfroe? :(

AMC's OVER-RATED Mardi Gras ep will not, thankfully, give them a win.

OLTL's team is very good too, better than AMC.

WILL WIN: GH's Ludel or McKinsey

SHOULD WIN: GH's Ludel or McKinsey

It's lost everything that made it grandiose. The swiping camera shots, the close-ups on vases, mirrors, decanters, etc. The slow build into a scene, where you weren't instantly thrust into the action. It's not "special" anymore, it's just very good soap directing. And Y&R used to be above "very good".

Looks like the two OLTL episodes were the following...

This was the Monday, May 29th episode:

abc.com recap:

Todd's execution begins when the governor refuses to grant a stay. After saying his final goodbyes to Viki and Evangeline, Todd tells Blair he'll never forgive her. Starr makes a scene outside the prison when she learns Spencer is going to watch Todd die and later sobs in Dorian's arms. Blair is stunned when Spencer arrives to witness the execution. John and Natalie go to extremes to try and get to the prison in time to stop the execution. John arrives at the prison as Todd is given the third and final injection. Todd's heart stops beating. Rex and Adriana are concerned about Starr. Jessica struggles to come out so she can help her family. Reston warns Nash to leave Llanview. Nash confronts Claudia, who claims to know nothing about her father's threats. Antonio kisses Tess in an attempt to bring Jessica out.

This was the Friday, October, 6th episode:

abc.com recap:

John's family and friends gather to say their final goodbyes. Natalie clings to a shred of hope that John is still alive. Nash agrees to continue building a friendship with Claudia, who covers her urge to drink. Nash is thrilled when Vincent decides to invest in the vineyard. Dorian agrees to go to John's funeral with David. Adriana pushes Dorian's buttons. Asa is unsettled when Bo mentions Spencer and New Year's Eve. Asa becomes agitated when Nigel questions him about the mysterious photograph.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
