Members chrisml Posted August 13, 2023 Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 Beverlee McKinsey definitely deserved a lifetime achieve award during her lifetime since the Emmy voters did not reward her talent on AW or GL. However, it's my understanding that lifetime Emmys are not given posthumously to performers who have died before the list of honourees is announced. I could be wrong and I'm not sure who would know the answer to that question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 13, 2023 Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 Thanks for the info. I tried to get an answer about how to go about this or if to, either one, & I could not get any reply at all from the Academy! We will see. @jcar03 Thanks for posting that list. At least it does show some posthumous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted August 13, 2023 Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 It will always be a crime that Beverlee McKinsey never got a Lead Actress nomination for her work on GL. Beverlee could have easily won at least one of 1991, 1992, 1993 as the Lead Actress races in those years I thought were rather weak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 14, 2023 Members Share Posted August 14, 2023 My personal favorite Beverlee McKinsey YouTube video. Alex on GL, at the Country Club, where she takes Roger on in front of most of the town. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s__jfRQjSc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch64 Posted August 15, 2023 Members Share Posted August 15, 2023 Tony Reardon was all kinds of "hot" no kinda about it! They wrote him as the perfect working class guy, tough, but loved his Mom and his little sister (but had her number) was nice but no push over. I always thought Frank Cooper was a very water down and boring copy of Tony Reardon. While Harley started out as a take on Nola, Ehlers had the talent and charisma to go her own way, not poor Frankie D, who actually is a the luckiest guy to work on soaps. They just..kept him around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gray Bunny Posted August 15, 2023 Members Share Posted August 15, 2023 He was the Josh Taylor of Guiding Light. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch64 Posted August 15, 2023 Members Share Posted August 15, 2023 Which reminds me...remember when Taylor filled in as Quinton, and he and Brown had more chemistry then she and Tylo had this time around. They should have brought Taylor on as a totally new character and left Quint off camera at one of his digs. A new police chief...(save Springfield from that moron Frank Cooper...) and Nola gets nosing around in the latest crimes... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 15, 2023 Members Share Posted August 15, 2023 I do think Greg Beecroft was more charismatic than Frank, but I found Tony to be exhausting and sanctimonious in most of the Marland episodes I've seen. Generally I didn't mind Frank, and I thought he had some real chemistry with Sherry's Blake and Melina's Eleni. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted August 15, 2023 Members Share Posted August 15, 2023 I liked Frank, thought FD was a solid performer, and he had a real-guy sex appeal. He also had good brother/son chemistry with Harley and Nadine. Did I expect him to stick around GL for 22 years? But he never was a blight on the show like his on-screen father became. (I liked Buzz initially.) I never really ever felt like FD was out of his depth with the show’s more obviously accomplished actors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted August 16, 2023 Members Share Posted August 16, 2023 If my math is correct, Frank Dicopolous (22 years) was the second longest-running cast member of the final episode cast without a departure and only Tina Sloan (26 years) was ahead of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrisml Posted August 16, 2023 Members Share Posted August 16, 2023 I think FD's Frank could have been used more, but the writers never seemed to know what to do with him. I'd much rather have seen him than Deas's Buzz who I wish had been killed off or not even come on the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted August 17, 2023 Members Share Posted August 17, 2023 Early Frank had a chip on his shoulder as surrogate father/big brother to Harley. Up to 1993, that element made his character workable. Buzz coming on actually made Frank's character redundant. After the Eleni/Julie/Frank story ended in mid 1994...Frank had no story or presence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 17, 2023 Members Share Posted August 17, 2023 I think after that point Frank worked fine enough in a support role. Buzz was such a flighty character, I never really believed him in a parental role anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
