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.

    • I don't think that would be the reason tbh. Thinking about it, it's probably storyline related - I could see bio mom / dad eventually turning up (or maybe it's June as speculated) and wanting the children back. I could also see it being a part of the fall-out of Martin's secret being revealed now that he's backed down from a presidential campaign - his and Smitty's ability to be parents comes into question, which the bio parents use. They might've wanted the kids to be at a age where they could reliably speak for themselves what they prefer, but also have enough memories of their bio parent(s) not doing a good job. I'd also think that they might want to avoid having the image of this gay couple keeping a mother away from her small children, as it might skew the viewer to sympathise too much in one direction. 
    • Something self-defense is my guess, and I have a feeling maybe he was protecting someone close to him and the optics looked bad so Vernon/Anita covered it up (my guess maybe he was protecting Vernon/Anita).
    • If Reginald had had more dimensions he probably wouldn't have been killed off and Carl might not have been brought back to fill the international supervillain role. I think though that the Loves were also severely damaged by the way Nicole and Peter were made iredeemable and written out. I definitely feel that loss more than the loss of Reginald, primarily since they were good characters to begin with and were only ruined during this period.   
    • What if they were originally cast as Vanessa and Doug's twins and then were moved to Samantha/Tyrell when the show decided to delay introducing the twins? It's a shame they didn't stick with the original plan. BTW, does anybody have any new speculation on what Martin's secret will be? Brandon is hinting nobody is guessing it. Initially I thought it would be something where he was drunk and killed somebody or something like that but now I'm feeling like maybe it wasn't completely his fault. I don't get the vibe they're going to take him in a dark direction anymore.

    • I don't think some of Samantha's hairstyles have worked with the ponytails and bows making her look like an older adult wearing a 10-year-old hairstyle.    Bows work on Kat much better for Kat's age and personal style. We've known since the start that Eva was a hairstylist before she began working for Nicole.  I like that they brought that back, with Ted arranging for her to work at a high-end salon.  Yesterday's scene with Martin bringing Eva over for pizza with his family, and then Eva doing hairstyles for Samantha worked (for me). I did think that the new hairstyle that Eva created for Samantha was less "little girl" and somehow even though more mature, it made the actress Najah look less aged. Can't quite explain it, but she looks better now.
    • That backdoor pilot may have failed, yet one year later "Empty Nest" became a reality anyway, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

      The show was completely revamped of course, but still....
    • Honestly, either 6-7 and 10-11 would've worked better. But maybe they wanted actors who wouldn't be held to child labour laws and needed them to be able to act, especially if they're (eventually?) going to go with their bio mama showing up (June??). 
    • I thought it interesting that in the Claybon/Manning youtube with Michael Fairman, Brandon Claybon said Samantha and Tyrell were initially supposed to be 6 and 7, but aged up for technical reasons, first aged up to 10 or 11, and then finally to 16 and 17.  (Not sure what "technical reasons" means but that's what he said.) Claybon didn't mention when this decision was made to change the ages of the children. No mention of when this happened during the process of casting/writing/preparation. Just speculating: I wonder if Najah Jackson and Jaden Lucas Miller were cast later than other recurring actors due to this change? - so maybe that's how they selected Ms. Jackson? 
    • Damn, there was a tiny pre-emption where I'm from and I missed the Kat/Nicole scene, according to recaps.
