Agree w/ your notes.  Here are a few of my own:

 

Interesting that Julia Barr and Cady McClain both won for their work w/ Canary but he didn't win.  I'm actually glad someone else won that year...he had already won 3 times by then.

 

Nice understated speech by A Martinez -- just perfect and a refreshing change from the melodrama so many actors bring to their acceptances (looking at you Cady...).

 

Baffled by the Henry Darrow win.  His clip seemed weak, he wasn't known as a soap actor...and he was competing against soap opera royalty -- Ver Dorn and Kristoff went on to win in later years, but Robert Gentry, Roscoe Born, Redeker and Kin Shriner (beloved in the industry) never won and all appeared on multiple soaps !  And why 7 nominees in this category when supporting actress only had 5 ?  The mens acting categories always had more nominees than the womens.

 

I loved Andy Kavovit, but his win reminds that the remarkable Scotty D never won.  If they couldn't find enough younger men to nominate this year, where was Scotty D ?  Certainly if Andy won an Emmy...then Scotty deserved a win at some point in his career.  But he went home w/ Maura so I guess that's his win ! 

 

The Joan Rivers acceptance speech is raw and an historic moment in TV.  You really feel Joan's pain.   

 

The pecking order of Conboy over JFP is interesting...when he gets on stage he makes a point to greet Nicholas Walker who he made a star on Capitol.  Didn't like Conboy's speech and he was dumped by TPTB the following year for not improving SB's ratings.  Proves ratings are more important than awards.  And why didn't the actors come on stage for Best Show back then ?!

I saw that too (very weird clip for Darrow, but then again, SB could be weeeeeird). It feels like the Emmys had a run in the early ‘90s of rewarding true supporting actors and not category frauds (Darrow, Barrow, Thom Christopher, Gerald Anthony, up until Deas’s first win for GL - we all know he wasn’t supporting given how Buzz ate the show).

I saw on Twitter Alan is interested in getting Lenore Kasdorf too. 

That'll be good too. 

 

I still want one with Morgan Englund, Melissa Hayden, Nia Long, Jocelyn Seagrave and Monti Sharp. 

 

And Peter Simon, Ellen Parker and Rachel Miner too.

Kristi Ferrell isn’t hard to find. She’s been on and off FB over the years. I don’t know if GL ever asked her to return. I seem to recall she was dealing with family issues, possibly caring for her parents. I think she taught acting for soaps/TV.  And, I don’t mean to be cruel, but I don’t think she remained “television perfect.”  This is a medium that requires, with a few exceptions (Zimmer, Judi Evans at one time, Jordan Clarke), actors to be slim and beautiful.  Patrika Darbo on DAYS and Kathy Brier on OLTL challenged daytime norms. Their characters had hot husbands!  But nothing changed across the board. 
 

I’ll just be happy to see Kristi again!

    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
