Like THIS is the sneakiest stunt ever pulled off in daytime?

SOOO not worth thinking twice about. I don't think we want to be "The Fans Who Took Back an Emmy"

Although it does crack me up that Toups' archive... AND ONLY TOUPS' ARCHIVE... is the smoking gun. Well played. :lol: :lol:

It could be though, that she went uncredited during the eligibility period. It has happened at All My Children during the years when Agnes Nixon was executive head writer and never credited (I believe when Lorraine Broderick was head writer), yet Agnes was able to take home an Emmy.

There are shows on TV that don't list credits at all, like sports TV for example, yet of course there is a producer, director, etc. These shows compete for Emmys too.

It's certainly not, but I'm the one who's documenting all this information for the database and I like to be as accurate as possible. So I do have to think about it. When's there's conflicting information, it drives me nuts.

Anna will hate me forever. :(

Yeah, when I was about to add "Daytime Emmy WIN (2008; Best Writing; One Life to Live)" to Anna's profile, I was like, "Wait a minute, that doesn't make any sense."

Emmy's have been revoked before, usually because of voting irregularities that were later exposed.

I remember hearing that one year in the 80's, Y&R won the Writing Emmy at the ceremony, but it was later revealed that GL (then headed by Pam Long) had actually won and Y&R had to give the Emmy back.

It may not be the biggest scam in daytime, but it's unfair and there's a reason why there's rules for these things. Seeing Anna up there accepting that award just pisses me off and rubs me the wrong way, because Gary and Fran should be there too then.

Why the feelings of guilt for possibly taking Ms. Cascio's Emmy away? She is well aware that she was apart of OLTL for a whopping three weeks during the eligibility period. I don't know what the hell she's thinking, accepting an Emmy and smiling on stage when she knows that she didn't do jack [!@#$%^&*] during the eligibility period. If she loses her Emmy, it would be deserved. You'd think her conscious would kick in: "Wait! Just a minute! I shouldn't be getting this!" but apparently it didn't as she was booking her trip to L.A., picking up her dress, and walking up on stage with the writers that actually worked during the year.

(FYI: Something similar happened at the Primetime Emmy Awards. In 2000, Henry Winkler was nominated for an Emmy for a guest appearance on Battery Park. The ballot listed the appearance as airing in April, when it actually aired in June. The Academy found out, stripped his nomination, and awarded #6 vote-getter William H. Macy the fifth nomination slot).

Anna went from ATWT straight to OLTL, so I doubt it. As the credited creator of AMC, Agnes didn't need to contracted in order to work on the show so she didn't tie herself down to one. But she was involved. Anna is in a different situation. She didn't walk to OLTL and say "Oh! I'll just write for a couple of months but you don't have to credit me!" LOL.

I highly doubt Anna went uncredited. She went straight from ATWT to OLTL and there's no way she went uncredited for 2 months (for her to have at least %19 of episodes) at OLTL.

The "Toupsies"?? LMAO!! kidding!! :lol:

Wow, that's gotta hurt. I never knew that.

Fran could've been there if she wanted to since she was on the ballot.

Gary and Jeanne Ford were credited before Anna and yet they weren't on the ballot. It's such a scam!

    •     I don't think Neil Wade died in an automobile accident. I think he died of an embolism. Unless he was driving at the time and it caused him to crash. Jeff was the only husband she had who died in a car accident.

      The 50s and 60s are over. Storytelling won't go back to that type. The 80s and 90s are over. Storytelling won't go back to that type.   I understand the nostalgia and enjoying a certain type of storytelling that was popular when growing up/being 20, 30 yrs old. That's why I watch TV series from the 70s and 80s and not as much current television. But I understand that people's attention spans have changed and therefore storytelling has changed and everything has gotten more expensive and there are more and more projects competing for eyeballs and the big flashy stuff is what makes people look up from their phones 5 seconds before going back to them.  We can never go back to before.

      date: Monday, June 9 | Teresa Zimmerman, Lynn Martin | Steven Williford YAY! Caroline is back in action at the law offices. I adore Caroline! She is a woman of business, and she handles her business quite well. Could this be the chance for Tomas to move ahead at Bill Hamilton Esq.? Madison is doing the usual tests for strokes: smiling, holding out the hands, etc., but I do wonder if she'll have him touch the tip of her finger and then the tip of his nose. That one is not easy at all. Trust me, I know! It's about time Derek becomes useful: helping to take down Dana by witnessing her interrogation of Ashley at Orphey Gene's. Oh, Nicole is showing up to question Eva, re: her interactions with Laura. This will either be a bitchfest or it'll be a heartfelt one. Cantankerous? Yes, Ashley! Call it like you see it! Is Tomas working with Katherine to set up Dana? I pray he is!! Child bride needs to calm her ass down; now she's hugging Naomi as if they're besties again? This isn't your "get out of jail" card, sweetheart. The weight that I am sure is now lifted from Eva's shoulders with Nicole accepting her apology? I love that for her. And I am sure, deep down, it helps Nicole to accept and hear it, as well. Dani showing up for Bill and their children? That's love right there, and you can tell how much it not only means for Bill but might also be reminding him of why he fell in love with her. Watch out, child bride; your time might be up by mid-summer! Katherine, you are sneaky... but I do have this sneaking suspicion this is going to blow up right back into your face before you know it. The awkward face-to-face with Chelsea and Madison. Dani introducing herself as "the first wife" is hilarious. I love it. Chelsea and Madison openly flirting in the hospital by the elevator is super cute!! Notes: Trisha Mann-Grant (Dana) continues to serve up the right amount of camp for American daytime. She's almost too good for daytime. I appreciate the new viewpoint of the outside of Dana's apartment. Nice that we can get these viewpoints that other soaps wouldn't dare to explore. Tide is seen in the scene; Tide commercials air right after. Today's jacket on Alex Alegria (Tomas) fits better than the past few he's worn. Hoping this trend continues.
