Another World Discussion Thread

They were both dark horses in the Emmy races for those years. What was the storyline that made Irene Dailey the winner? To me, Aunt Liz was a supporting character, and they did in fact debut the supporting actor/actress categories in 1979 - Suzanne Rogers (Maggie, DAYS) took home that trophy.

I can think of two instances where Victoria Wyndham was robbed of an Emmy nomination. In 1989-90, Rachel discovers Iris is "The Chief" who tried to take over Cory Publishing and the aftermath of Mac's death. She carried AW for most of 1989-90. Her conversation with Ada (Constance Ford) directly after Mac's funeral on the Cory terrace should have won Wyndham the lead actress and Ford the supporting actress Emmy.

In 1993-94, the beginning of her romance with Carl in NYC, and her part in Felicia's intervention should have also earned her an Emmy nomination. Her "I want the bottle gone, and I want my friend back" speech with Felicia could have won her the Emmy.

The fact that Constance Ford (Ada) was never even nominated for an Emmy is another story, and it speaks volumes about what a joke the Emmys are.

This scene always gets me. Every time. BOTH actresses should have been awarded Emmys. End of story. (6:20 mark)

Vicky and Bev had..."reputations." Probably well-deserved. Doesn't mean they weren't great actresses. But capable of rubbing people the wrong way? Maybe.

Remember when Vicky dropped that AW anniversary cake on the floor deliberately during a SOD photo shoot because she felt it was "appropriate" given AW's cancellation? That's what I'm talking about. SOD photographed it but I wondered if they appreciated that.

Did Vicky W. even bother to submit herself for an Emmy after the 70s? I always got the impression she had very little interest in awards.

Boy, I wish today's soaps would throw us a bone once in a while with scenes like the Rachel-Ada one above.

[amybrickwallace]

I don't know, but I think it does say something that neither Bev or Vicky ever won and the third in their "triangle", Doug Watson, walked away with two consecutive trophies. But then, I have never, EVER heard anyone in the acting arena or the soap press say a bad word about Mr. Watson.

Amen on Doug Watson. I don't think anyone ever had a bad word to say. The closest I ever saw him come to controversy was when he refused, as Mac, to tell Janice he loved her when that story was going on. The thing he told the press was "you only tell one person in your life that you love them"... or something like that, in reference to Doug's wife in real life.

So Mac would naturally tell Rachel he loved her but not anyone else. I thought that's classy.

[amybrickwallace]

So do I, and I think something like that is also a trait that matched Mac's personality. Even when the two were at their absolute low points together, there was never any doubt that Mac and Rachel were each other's true loves. Thus, it makes sense that he never would have loved Janice.

Just saw the movie 'Pride' and discovered the lead actor was Ben Schnetzer,son of Stephen Schnetzer and Nancy Snyder.He was excellent and the movie was great.

Wow. I didn't know Cass Winthrop had a kid with Katrina Karr. Are they still together?

[slick jones]

I think he was Marcello Salta when he "knocked up" " A common Prostitute like Katrina Karrr!"[Karen Wolek]...

All kidding aside, I look forward to seeing the movie. I loved Stephen as Cass Winthrop. Wish he could pop up on Days as Julie's brother for a visit! Congratulations to them for their son joining the family business!

[amybrickwallace]

As far as I know, Stephen and Nancy are still married after 30+ years. They are the parents of two sons, Max and the aforementioned Ben.

Here is Tim Gibbs (Gary #1) featured in an all-star teen edition of Family Feud from 1984:

Looking back over past storylines,I wondered how it would have played if Liz Matthews had been revealed as Iris' mother?

Liz had a child she gave up for adoption as she was determined to marry into the Matthews family.She got pregnant by a man she truly cared for but he was married so she married Will Matthews. This could explain why she always had a poor relationship with her daughter Susan as this reminded her of the daughter she gave away.

Imagine Iris reaction to having Liz as a mother. Susan was brought into the story at that time and they could have played an Iris/Susan rivalry.Maybe Iris got involved with Dan as a revenge on Susan.

Although a bit of a soapy coincidence the dramatic impact on those core characters might have made for some riveting storylines.

What do you think?

Have a question about Casting Joey Perrini

Paul Perri originated Joey from April to May 1978

Then Ray Liotta from May 1978- November 1981

However I guess Joey was temp recast from Jan 27 1981-March 6 1981 and they brought Paul Perri back

just find that weird that an actor replaced ends temping for his replacement

Anyone know the story there?
