What a joke the Artios are. Judy Blye Wilson!? Fran F. Bascom!? Jacklynn Briskey!? These women should be fired. Well, one of them was canned-Bascom. Briskey picked some of the worst actors to ever appear on TV!!!!! No wonder awards in general are losing credibility at an alarming rate. Crap nominations = crap winners. At this point, I do not know which awards are worse. It appears that the WGS, PGA & DGA have a modicum of respect intact. But that is not saying much.

The winner? Mary Clay Boland

robbed of the award? Mark Teschner

Um, why is Mark Teschner not nominated? He has an incredible eye for casting! The actors he's brought on in recent years are a huge part of why I endure GH!

I don't watch many of the shows listed, or haven't been watching them long enough that I feel I can comment, but I will say that Bascom should be disqualified just for casting Shelley Hennig as Stephanie Johnson. It is rare for casting to bother me as much as that choice.

Rob Decina is okay. Michelle Ray Smith simply is not my cup of tea and I just can't warm myself up to Caitlin Van Zandt cuz she has these mannerisms that bug me...like the laughing and giggling. However Marcy Rylan and Tom Pelphrey....wow what a find they were.

If you go to espn.com right now, Rob Decina of GL is being interviewed by Mike & Mike in the Morning who have Mark Schlereth on as their special guest. It's the main video right now. Rob talks about giving them a part on GL.

As for the award, I've never understood casting awards. There are so many talentless duds cast every year.

As much as I like Judy Blye Wilson at AMC, she is starting to lose that touch of hers. I do not mind the nuGreenlee but the role should be filled by someone who has uumph and Sabine Singh is just good but not great. The other hires like Dre and his band are okay but nothing to scream home about....the only real great find she has found recently is Billy Miller as Wes/Ritchie. He fits into the role and is now doing good at playing a villain

PASSIONS' Casting Director doesn't deserve a nom for Jared Stevenson?! Erin Cardillo? The guy who plays Vincent?! It's not like they'll be getting an Oscar anytime soon...but I think these performers are okay and some of the best finds that PASSIONS has had in awhile.

These actors are usually stilted and stereotyped because of the really terrible writing from the show(which, from what I have seen in clips, has gotten a MILLION X better on DirecTV!).

But totally agree with most of what is said...Techner usually ALWAYS gets it right on GH and when he was on PC too.

    • For years I did NOT go by Laura's opinion of Luke. Today I certainly do not go by Laura's opinion that Sonny somehow is good for Port Charles. Actually when it comes to being a judge of people's characters, and the issue is Laura, I just remember Esme.
    • Good point. It would provide some conflict with Jack. As much as I am not interested in Claire, I don't find it difficult to understand why she might be a bit reluctant  to commit to a guy who has already been divorced twice or is  3 times?before he is 30. That's a natural obstacle that Claire would be hesitant about. But in GC every relationship is true love and various past marriages are forgotten.

      I’m in NYC, and I can’t help but wonder if NYC prosecutors, politicians, etc. ever felt the way that Laura did, back in the 80s-90s when they were taking down the mob.  “Oooh, don’t put John Gotti in prison. The guy who comes in after him might be worse” 
    • Happy 18th Birthday, Sophia! I like that Tate gave her a birthday party. And that Marlena counseled him about whether or not he has feelings for Sophia, and his relationship with Holly. I like how messy Tate is and I hope he continues to be messy. He just needs to have more argument/fight scenes with Doug III

      Days just needs to work a little bit more on establishing better chemistry between Tate and Sophia, but I still think that’s mostly due to Rachel Boyd. Sometimes, I think that Sophia might secretly be scheming, but with the way RB plays it, (if that’s what they’re going for), it doesn’t seem to be working. Tate was also really sweet and dorky during the party too The drug scenes didn’t do much for me though. I don’t mind that Kevin panicked and ran off with the drug once he heard Steve and Shawn coming, but I felt like that story was the weakest part of today. But I am interested in seeing what happens next. And I couldn’t help but laugh when I noticed that Steve and Shawn had matching jackets Btw, I see Mayor Price established a quid pro quo with Xander today lol I wouldn’t mind that being more than just a plot point. It could lead to some pretty good drama if it’s handled correctly. And it would be a lot better than Xander declaring war on Sweet Bits/Chanel and Felicity.  And Stephanie, finally having her mother to confide in about her life, her relationship with Alex, etc. has been one of the best things about the Paula/Jeanne episodes. The book thing still seems very Ron/Jamey-like though, mostly because it’s so centered around Alex, sort of like how GH used to make storylines about Liz all about Finn or Franco Hopefully, Stephanie talks to Kayla about the book. I’d like to hear more of her perspective on it. I also like that Kayla and Marlena were there for each other as well. These are such better ways to use all three of them. And, we got an update about John One other thing I’ve noticed about the Paula/Jeanne episodes (except for the ones that are worked on by Jamey) is that they’re longer than Ron episodes. Episodes usually clock in at around 40-41 minutes now, as opposed to 35-37, or as short as 31. I like that.
