I've seen Victoria, yeah.

And the funny thing is, I'm 75 percent sure I've seen Little Richie, I mean, Devon's mother. I seem to remember a scene of a crackwhore in the park with a grocery cart or something ... for some reason I remember that scene very vividly because it WAS so shocking and "scandalous," as you said. I'd never seen a crackwhore, or someone I assumed to be a crackwhore, in daytime. It reminded me of that HUGE revelation that Nicole was once a porn star on "Days." I'd never seen that before either and I had no idea how NBC let them get away with it, lol.

Pine Charles, I actually watched the Urkel dance last week on YouTube. Funny you should mention that. But being older now, that was SO stupid. I doubt the cool kids would really participate in that and act like it was so "cool." And how in the HELL did Urkel get those background singers to sing "Do the Urkel!" in between his raps? It was RECORDING, for God's sake! That was when TV expected you to have no brains I guess.

I'm not sure I like the random submission for the whole year, but I have no problem with it being say them having to submit 1 good episode and then 2 chosen randomly from the year. I think that would narrow things down.

I know in reality it will never happen but the only way things will ever truly change as far as block vote is for the Blue Ribbon Panel to be totally unknown too and picked randomly. They could even make it primetime chooses daytime and daytime chooses primetime, etc. There are many ways around it.

With any awards show politics is always going to come into play. Even the Oscars has so much politics to it.

I personally thought last years Primetime Nominees was the worst ever but many liked them. I personally do not like this process at all. I never have. Why should all shows be limited to only 2 pre-noms. Some shows don't even have 2 real strong pre-noms while another show might have had a greater year and had 3 pre-noms. So already performers are being left out of the final process that should be in there.

I feel they need a new system, but in the end the voting and judging is what needs to be changed the most.

Like Shane, I love Erika Slezak. She didn't have the material this year, but she is great.

As far as ABC. They received a lot of nominees. Unfortunately they weren't the right nominees. Nancy Lee Grahn was better than every actress in that category.

I don't think Laura Wright did anything to deserve a nomination. Let me add, I adore her as Carly and think she is the best ever, but she did not deserve that nomination.

I'm glad Trevor St. John did not get nominated. He's Podd not Todd and he had one good day last year. So what? MEK deserved a nomination.

Bree Williamson had a great year, but if there was ever an overnominated individual, it was Bree Williamson. She had no business in the lead category. Who should have had the best supporting nomination instead of REG? Bree. But she was nominated in that category.

Genie Frances in one month gave a stronger performance that all four of her competitors combined did in the entire year.

Now on to NBC, who really got screwed. There is NO question that Alfonso (the character Hope) deserved a nomination for best actress. She had a better year that Jeanne Cooper (who deserved it last year), Laura Wright and Kim Zimmer.

OLTL did not deserve its best show nomination, and unlike others, I think Frons loves it because it allows him to keep his lapdog EP and writer. The way the voting goes, I believe that the brass at the network decide which of their babies gets the nomination. I suspect OLTL has a good chance at winning since it is the ABC soap in the category. CBS could split its vote.

And we know that voting is not based on quality. That is why the Daytime Emmys deserve no credit or no appreciation. It's like voting for high school cheerleader. It's based on popularity and certainly not ability.

Color me confused. Laura Wright didn't get nominated per the posts in the beginning of this thread. Are they incorrect?

BW should have been in younger. I'd have put RS in supporting with HT. Her closet scene was mesmerizing. But she didn't make the pre nom list.

Sorry Steve, but IMO, Zimmer doesn't do nuance. Any one of the pre-nominees I would have been happy for over her. Glad you saw my little joke on Zimmer though.

As far as I'm concerned............... Zimmer vs Rahmer= Rahmer

That's because it's dumb. I've always liked NLG's idea- they pick a day out of a hat & EVERYONE submits their work on or closest following that date. Totally logical and your body of work would have to bring it, not just your best episode.

Hmm, well she actually has 5 competitors. Lesli Kay was pretty good. So were Heather Tom & Gina T........but......

      Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.

      Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.

      A--I wish someone would post a better vid of the entire ball, as it must be out there. And B--nope. Evie is only in a small segment of the ball with Phillip, Rick and Mindy. She doesn't dance at all. Ross dances with Helena and Amanda. I'm not even sure why Evie is at the ball---Vanessa heartily disliked her. I did see that Billy actually asked Henry to introduce him to Vanessa, which I hadn't realized.

      Ratings from the 1990s

      Honestly, they should've ordered more of 2000 Malibu Road for the 1992-93 midseason and aired it when Knots went on a break. That was probably their best shot.    Then of course they fumbled Central Park West by airing it in the 9PM slot instead of a 10PM slot where it would've been away from the Fox dramas. CPW got its best rating by airing randomly on a Sunday and when it was taken off the air for a "re-tooling", Party of Five's ratings actually had a spike, so clearly they were feeding off each other. But being a smaller network focused on a certain demographic, Fox could afford to be patient Party of Five, CBS couldn't...

      Agree on Bruce Gray as Owen; they needed to cast star power. He was too lightweight against Kim and he had no chemistry with Frances Fischer except more gay buddy or daddy figure.  I loved Nola and Eliot together though. Lee Godart should have been longer term.

      Andre has the worst fashion of the males which is off putting for someone as fine as he is. His jackets and sweaters look dated and no vintage does not work for him

      I don’t recall MSW having a toy line in the late 80’s or early 90’s like all those Saturday morning cartoons did LOL but thought this was cute when I saw it in a vintage toy store yesterday:
