Members j swift Posted May 9 Members Share Posted May 9 I'm not a Daytime Emmy enthusiast, especially during mid-80s to early 90s, when it seemed like a corrupt system. However, it would be a shame if Beverly McKinsey was never recognized for her bravura performance during her Country Club speech when she was eviscerating Roger (year unknown to me). I am reminded of a funny anecdote that Louise Shaffer told in the recent oral history of Ryan's Hope. She noted that she kept losing the award or the nomination, while others in her cast received multiple nods. But, when her husband reviewed the scenes that she submitted, he questioned why she always chose scenes that highlighted her co-stars. To which she was forced to admit that usually selected to submit those scenes where she felt that that her legs or hair looked good, and ignored the context. The moral of which is that there are probably multiple reasons why actors were not given academy recognition. And today, it may be more of a salute that an average of 21,000 people have watched Ms McKinsey's scene on YouTube in the 17 years since it was posted, versus winning some cheap statuette.

Members TEdgeofNight Posted May 9 Members Share Posted May 9 Marj Dusay was Emmy nominated as Alexandra. Beverlee was not. Marj was a great recast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 9 Members Share Posted May 9 Ideally, yes. But Marj could not have come on at a worse time for GL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted May 10 Members Share Posted May 10 I love me some Marj, but....she could sure chomp away Please register in order to view this content Bev was one in a million. I've recently been seeing Marj in action in old Cannon, Mannix, Barnaby Jones, etc. and there's such a difference in her demeanor. The three Alexandras were such talented actresses (not to mention Lydia Bruce and Joan Copeland as subs). Each had their own take on Alex, but Marj's was so all over the place at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted May 10 Members Share Posted May 10 Alot of GL Daytime Emmy nominations from JFP run were speculated to be the result of block voting. JFP run was July 1991-May 1995, so that covers 1992-1996 Daytime Emmys. Here are GL's results in those years.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 10 Members Share Posted May 10 Is it at GL that they say Jill first conceived of trying to block vote? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted May 10 Members Share Posted May 10 I'd say it started at Santa Barbara. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 10 Members Share Posted May 10 Okay. Thanks for the reply. I have always loved it that when Santa Barbara won it's first Emmy one of the winning episodes was produced by Bridget & the other was produced by Jill. It seemed so appropriate. I mean if you can have something be apt during chaos. Anyway, the successful block voting certainly cemented JFP's reputation to future employers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted May 10 Members Share Posted May 10 And other than scratching my head over Jeff Phillips, I have zero problems with any of those nominations. I'd agree with kalbir---Santa Barbara's endless string of nominations was fishy. I've seen this referenced dozens of times....what was the thing with Rausch and Maeve? (I once tried watching her AW stuff---all I can say is she must've been thrilled with GL's wardrobe dept.) I forget how incestuous P&G's casting was. I never realized until recently that Kathleen Widdoes played both Maeve's and Lisa Brown's mothers on different shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 10 Members Share Posted May 10 For a long while Betty Rea was Casting Director for both ATWT & GL. Paul Rauch & Maeve K., something that today we would call sexual harassment. I don't know details. The decision was that they'd solve the problem by separating them. It was a different time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TEdgeofNight Posted May 10 Members Share Posted May 10 I actually met Beverlee McKinsey outside of the GL studio. She could not have been nicer. I took a picture of her and treasure it. She chatted for a few moments and then went on her way down West 26th Street. Lovely woman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GL Oldtimer Posted May 10 Members Share Posted May 10 I have what is probably a rather stupid question, but what exactly is block voting? I don't understand the definition of it as it pertains to the Daytime TV Emmy Awards. Thank you in advance to anyone that can provide an explanation.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted May 10 Members Share Posted May 10 Pre-arranged, everyone on the show votes for the same people. Is there some reason you're not posting the picture? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted May 11 Members Share Posted May 11 I agree. Some of the problems with Dusay's interpretation of Alex could be the fault of awful writing or directing, but honestly, McKinsey was not an actress who could be easily replaced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
