Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 I keep seeing around on other boards that Jack Smith is at OLTL, now, and Kay Alden is at AMC. I haven't heard it officially, but I can see it being true. Jack Smith was probably being used at GH to consult on the Hostage story, which they thought would get them the Emmy Nom. GH didnt get it and OLTL did, so they send him over there. Anyone else hear this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Q Steph Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 OLTL has gotten a lot better. If Kay Alden is at AMC, I can't tell. The show is still something awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 OT but surely GH's sweeps hostage story would not be eligible for Daytime Emmy consideration until next year? 2005's The Virus SL and Laura's Return most likely were submitted for Emmy consideration this year. I don't know about whether Jack Smith is at OLTL or not -- all I've been hearing are rumours saying that he has been sorting out some of Higley's sub-par material as a consultant. There was also a rumor that Barton Amus (or whatever his name!) who was earmarked for AMC head-writing was being placed on another ABC show. I only hope Jack Smith is at OLTL because I liked him as a writer on Y&R. He was also very aware about balance and rotating characters and getting the right mix of vets and young 'uns on screen. OLTL seems to be getting better in some respects with regards to this -- witness last week's mix of LLantano ski lodge, Biki, Nora, Bo, Nash shouting at Jessica, the hold-ups at Foxy Roxy's and the Palace, etc. That's a wide cross-section of the cast being utilized. JS liked those kind of umbrella/intersecting SLs when he was on Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 One week Kay Alden is at OLTL, the enxt she is at AMC and so forth. I don't think anyone really knows where she is. SOW did report Kay Alden apparently will be very active at AMC during the regime change.... I hope when its all said and done she is AMC's next headwriter. Jack Smith... I still assume he is at GH. But who knows. Like I said, I don't think anyone really does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 The Hostage Crisis could have been a last-ditch effort to draw FYC publicity to the show for Emmy 2007, but there's no way that could be submitted for an Emmy. And if that's the reason why Jack Smith isn't at GH, then that's a pretty stupid reason, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 The Hostage story is not eligible for the awards this year. The reason that GH did not get nominated this year was because of the episode they submitted. They submitted the episode of Luke & Laura's wedding as reported on this site somewhere else. They cannot submit anything that occurred after January 1, 2007 for the current Emmy awards - they will be submitted for the 2008 awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 I was about to come and point this out but you beat me too it Steve. OLTL submitted Todd's execution..... and based on what all the other shows submitted... I think they might win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 I'm beginning to think nothing much has really come of the Alden/Smith consulting positions. I mean, they've had them for a while now, yet ABC isn't fully utilizing their talents. I have serious doubts they ever will. Two writing cast-offs from the #1 soap, yet ABC doesn't want to expand their positions? Really stupid to me and I wouldn't be surprised if it's announced that both Smith and Alden have parted ways with ABC soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 That was only to get the final nomnination from their pre-nom. They can't use that particular episode for their final two tapes, in order to win the actual award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 Ok so Y&R can't submit that horrendous episode dedicated to Carmen Mesta's murder? Phew. If I were Y&R, I'd submit the two episodes surrounding John's death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members a2sassy Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 Thank GOD because I know Y&R wouldn't win for the "Who killed Carmen?" eppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 ^ LOL! No, and thank God for that. One episode is submitted to get a final nomination from the pre-nom list. Two tapes are actually submitted to win the award, once you've gotten a final nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 Maybe it's Carlivati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 And if it is, all the more reason to fire Higley! Today's show the vets were driving! Loved Clint/Dorian and Viki/Nora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Josh Posted March 26, 2007 Members Share Posted March 26, 2007 GH did in fact submit the Luke and Laura wedding!! No matter what each show will have to submit at least two more episodes and I believe if they want they can submit the same one plus another for the actual Emmy or they can pick two new ones. B&B will be able to submit four episodes. Kay Alden is a good fit for AMC and Jack Smith would be good at OLTL or GH, either or! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
