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Emmy's have been revoked before, usually because of voting irregularities that were later exposed.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

      Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.

      Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!

      Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.

      I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.

      I just remember when Leo was marrying Craig (?), Greg Rikaart stated a line and made direct eye-contact with Melissa Reeves, and when the camera cut to her, she looked away.

       Rikaart had a mission that day, and he succeeded.
