GH definitely had the most popular year that year, but take a look at the Ryan's Hope clip when the award is being presented - classic character driven soap opera at its best!

Anyway, this was GH's first of so far 9 wins for Outstanding Drama Series, a record GH holds for most wins in that catgory btw.

I think GH should have seven wins instead of nine. I do not think the last two wins had strong enough tapes for an Emmy

I questioned the need for yet another super-white blonde teen right on the heels of both Joss and mutant Charlotte. The Frank way!

Y&R: Jamey Giddens & Dan O'Connor named co-head writers

Since they are already at Valentine's Day 2027, I would like to think by that point, we will be seeing what their stories truly are.

🤣 His English might be worse than his Spanish lol. Like his English, something about the way he speaks Spanish is strange. Almost, Idk, more casual or improper? I am certainly not a linguistic expert though lol. Yet it was really noticeable in the 90's when MB would have full on conversations with native speakers like Lilly Melgar and Ricky Martin.
Anyhow, it's always weird how Sonny's kids are all so white. Sonny is supposed to be part Hispanic and I don't think any of the kids that played his children have ever been. Maybe Brian Craig? I personally don't think new Avery looks anything like Sonny or Ava lol.

I have been catching up on the last few episodes. I noticed when Joe & Lucas are in scenes, Van & and especially Jonathan often keep looking off camera at cue cards which drives me crazy. They need step up their acting game a bit.

Ohh this is at the very beginning of 1995, right before I started my watch on Feb. 10! I didn't get to see this 5th Street fire, but it looks good from this promo! Sadly it's a reminder of how quickly they dumped Frank/Eleni (and Marina) from front-burner story after Melina left shortly after. This is interesting, they focus on Eleni being worried about Marina in the fire, but I know very shortly after, she's involved in a storyline in Crete about some man she was betrothed to... when I started on Feb 10, she was in Crete already and Frank was trying to find a way to get there and save her. A-M felt bad and gave him money for a flight and Frank came in, saved the day and Melina left like the next week after coming back to SF.

By all means listen to the actors, but look at the bigger picture.
I'm sure Eric would say he wants Victor front and center, the power broker in GC etc and that is NOT what the show needs.
I'm going to give them through Xmas to give us family scenes and connections. Wrap some of the current nonsense.
I want to see some returns for the holidays eg Ana, Mamie, Chloe.
Then new stories and energy in the new year.

Well, it's honest for O'Connor to say what he said, and it's forgivable - though I totally understand any trepidation an ardent fan of "The Young and the Restless" would have after hearing that. Look at the surprise of what Michael Malone did on "One Life to Live". He was a novelist before he wrote some of the most beautiful prose in daytime. And for what it's worth, Dan O'Connor is taking a tip from the Douglas Marland in his approach of stepping into his new head writing duty. In talking to the cast and that's BIG, he's going to get some great ideas as to where story could go that he can troubleshoot with Jamey. And not to be provoking, it's up to the actors too in what they tell him - if it comes from an egocentric place, then nobody can help rejuvenate any show, it's got to be an ensemble. But that's just me.

TV Star to Movie Star - Who did and didn't make the switch?

I think most of the Dawson's crowd simply did indies/arthouse pix because that was seen at the time as the way to platform yourself into a bigger career in the late '90s and early 2000s. That was the time of the Miramax, etc. indie-to-stardom wave and was often how it was done then.
Katie tried for a bigger movie star profile briefly (then tried again when she became Mrs. Cruise) but ultimately gave it up. Michelle Williams succeeded in becoming a major movie star, but picks and chooses her prestige projects carefully because she doesn't need to work.
