Best Daytime Drama: GLAAD awards


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I was reading an article about this Grey's Anatomy drama and in the article it mentioned that GLAAD nominated them for one of their awards and so I clicked on the link: http://www.glaad.org/publications/resource...ail.php?id=3953 to read all the nominees and noticed the soap award.

AMC, ATWT, GH, and PSNS are nominated.

I'm going to say ATWT should win, even though they completely dropped the "Luke is gay" storyline. But whatever.

Go BROTHERS & SISTERS. That's all I really care about anyway...haha.

ATWT better win.

If PSNS wins for the angry dyke mob, I'll spit. Same for Sillimone.

GH... no. Yuck. That sucked.

And a big fat no to Zarf on AMC. I post on several "homosexual" message boards and you wouldn't believe the incredibly NEGATIVE response this storyline got. It's so convoluted. A very effeminate man believes himself to be a woman who just so happens to also be a lesbian? C'mon now. idiotic.

I look for PSNS to score a repeat win.

There has been a lot of great scenes with Rae and Simone questioning theirselves about kids, marraige, homosexuality in the church etc. I can honestly say that JER has written their story true to real life.

Sure there was a lesbian revolt, but I think that will actually go over well with the voters. Who says that homosexual stories always have to be serious? Gays can do comedy too ;)

From everything I have read and researched AMC's story is straight from real life. There is even a transsexual poster on another board I frequent who says those type of transsexuals actually exist. She says they are in the minority but they do exist. She says other than Zarf acting over the top on some occasions and a few minor problems that AMC has handled the story pretty well.

I was watching a show on Here Saturday night and on their show Sexplorations they did a story on a transexual porn star who was a woman. She always felt that she was a man. As a woman she was attracted to both men and women and had sex with both. Now as a transsexual man she married a woman but still has sex with men. She is bisexual. BTW the woman that he married is a very masculine-looking woman who looks more like a man than some men I know. So they look almost like a male/male couple to me.

I know at first when I heard that Zarf wanted to be a woman and was going to be a lesbian I couldn't figure it out. I just assumed that anyone who wanted to change genders was automatically be in love with the opposite sex and would want to do it so they could have sex with the opposite sex and maybe not face a public stigma for it. But from what I understand that is not always the case.

I think the Zarf/Zoe storyline on AMC has been done really well so far...the coming out process anyway. I just didn't consider that 2006 for AMC, as most of the coming out scenes were the first week of 2007.

But if they are considering that stuff as their nomination scenes - then AMC or ATWT should win. I can't comment on PSNS, but I know for a fact that GH should NOT win for the way they treated their gay storyline.

Passions has shown nothing but the utmost respect for the gay community. As a gay man, I found the lesbian revolt hilarious and empowering. The Edna/Norma scenes at the lesbian bar were to die for...loved them!! :)

And the Simone/Rae relationship has been very realistic and honest. I love it.

I'm sorry I agree with Rick and others. I feel JER handled the gay stories very well on Passions. I don't see the disrespect that some are seeing. I think so many people are mad at JER about his last tenure on Days that they automatically see everything he does as bad. This is one time that everything he did was not bad.

As much as I love AMC's story I feel next year is their year.

I think ATWT will win this year for the Luke story.

OK, the Simone/Rae relationship, I'll give you. That hasn't been handled badly. I'm mainly referring to Charlie and the lesbian army in Rome.

With that said, I'm not clouded by my hatred of JER's second time on DAYS. I know when what I'm seeing is bad, and 97.5% of what I've seen from JER in just the last year alone has been bad. I give him credit where credit is due, though. Zack's death on DAYS was very good until Morgan Island, and I love Luis & Fancy on PASSIONS. But I am being objective where JER is concerned.

    • 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.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
