Here is an episode that was released on DVD. It features Lucy Deakins as Lily Walsh.

I enjoyed Deakins in the role. MB will always be Lily for me but, from the little I've seen of LD, she seems to be a perfectly fine actress. Her Lily is a little different but it's a younger version of the character. I'm just glad she left so MB could take over!

Although I don't remember her much because I was so young, when I watch these episodes on You Tube or here, I realize that I also really enjoy Deakins in these episodes as well.

I thought Deakins would've have been as capable of growing and progressing with the role of Lily as anyone, including MB, although I am having a hard time seeing her Lily with JH's Holden. 

I believe that Deakins left acting at one time for other pursuits.

When I saw Noelle Beck in the role, I couldn't help thinking that I wished that Deakins or Rattray had been contacted first but by that time Deakins was already a practicing attorney.  I don't know about Rattray.

 

 

 

I think that in terms of production values, this year was the strongest year that the Daytime Emmys has had in many years and that includes the HLN years.

I still see people tweet-complaining about it not being on TV but it was on You Tube, if those people can find Internet access to tweet complaints, couldn't they find Internet access to stream the show?

 

The reality is that, it would be very difficult, at this point to find a television network willing to broadcast the Daytime Emmys because any network would have to "eat" the cost of producing/broadcasting for next to no ad revenue.

At least online, the ad revenues are lower but so are the costs associated with streaming.  And I'd rather have a dignified show being streamed out than a tacky show on TruTV or some other outfit.

Very good points. Was the year the show was broadcast on the CW the same year the venue was in Vegas?

[DramatistDreamer]

 

According to this article, the CW hosted it in 2009 where it earned an all-time low rating for the show but somehow higher than anything the CW had achieved in that same time-slot all summer.

 

Primetime Ratings: Daytime Emmys Hit Record Low On CW

 

Did the CW host more than one year? 

Because the awards ceremony was held in Las Vegas in 2010 & 2011.  I'm not sure whether that was CW or not.

Today is May 1 - the birthday of Penny Hughes....    Chris would send her flowers, but, after Chris's death, Bob sent the flowers.

LD played a college student in an episode on L&O who was raped by a rock star. The rock star was played by Sebastian Roche, later of GH. She did a credible job, though I thought her character was more annoying than sympathetic.

I remember Lucy Deakins did that movie The Boy That Could Fly that The Disney Channel ran into the ground back in the mid 80's.

I remember that movie, LOL!  She was also in Little Nikita with River Phoenix.

That was a strange little movie. My cousin loved it. I remember Fred "Herman Munster" Gwynne was in it as well as Mindy Cohn of The Facts of Life, too.

Nice salute to the career of Michael Forest (Nick Andropolous )

I saw that. I think Maura took her kids Joe and Kate to see DEH. Its nice to know they're still good friends. Mikey tweeted after the emmys---he didn't agree with ED's win.

 

I miss him. He is a handsome devil.
