I'm surprised ATWT wasn't nominated for Writing especially since GL got in. But I'm not complaining! I want Passanante gone and her winning based on using Luke would help her stay.

I think Series/Writing is all B&B/Y&R. B&B has Lesli Kay and Bette Davis, Y&R has lots of great stand alone episodes to choose from since thats what Latham does best.

If OLTL won for Todd's Execution it would be a sad day for daytime. This was probably the worst year ever (with the worst headwriter) and I want change. Higley winning would tell them they are doing something right which we know is not the case. The only reason the show is improving is because of the Y&R consultants and a co-headwriter who knows the history of the show.

As much as I detest OLTL right now, I'm rooting for them to win. From January-June 2006, that show was must see TV for me (okay, it was mainly because of Margaret...).

It always amazes me how a show can be nominated for Best Writing & Best Direction and then not get nominated for Best Show.

GH was robbed in this category.

I hope of the 4 Y&R wins Best Show. If not them then GL

GH should have been nominated for Drama - I don't get why they weren't.

AMC should have been nominated for Directing, if they submitted the Ball Explosion, which I would assume they did. That episode got major praise by everyone. I just don't get why they were shut out in this area.

Glad that GH finally was left out in the cold.

Good to see that writing and best show mirror each other for a change... Keeping my fingers crossed for B&B or GL.

Y&R was good during the summer but overall such sh*tty writing should be awarded with an Emmy - yet from the past 2 years (*cough* GH *cough*) this means nothing. <_<

I hope GL takes it, they deserve it, they had some amazing Into The Light episodes, they should get the Emmy just on the strength of those stand alone episodes.

Y&R should get the writing nod.

Unless I'm mistaken, didn't they submit the episodes of Todd's execution and of John McBain's funeral? If so that likely sewed up OLTL's nomination. But still it's a bit of a surprise.

Well bowl me over with a damn feather. I thought the Sheffer love would prevail and get DAYS at least the writing nom.

And David Kreizman nominated for GL? Please. The man couldn't write a [!@#$%^&*] obituary.

      Y&R: November 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Liberty City · Posted

      Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.

      No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.

      Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)

      But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.

      This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.

      It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison

      "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.

      GH: Classic Thread

      By Khan · Posted

      I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.

      It absolutely was; the narrative was there, and they followed it promptly. Maybe that's back when women had babies at young ages?!?!?
