Deidre has not always gotten the credit for how good she is as Marlena. I also liked her a lot on Our House. I was thrilled she got asked to appear on Hacks. Now this. Just really sweet for her, and by osmosis, the show.
There is a list of absolute titans in acting that the Emmy’s didn’t honor because they didn’t start soon enough, or they just didn’t get nominated enough. People like Beverlee McKinsey who was an undisputed powerhouse, and both she and Zaslow should have had lots of Emmy’s like Geary, Zimmer, Slezak and Flannery. But you also have the talented actors/big stars that had long soap careers and were often leads, and just didn’t get nominated enough/win. People like Deidre, Jackie Zeman, Denise Alexander. Had the younger actor category been around I bet Genie and Kin would both have Emmy’s from their early GH run. Huge stars and all of them got to play from light comedy to tragedy. Marlena is one of the handful of soap legends that the wider public and pop culture knows. Folks like Luke & Laura, Victor Newman, Susan Lucci, Marlena. She should have won a couple of Emmy’s.
