Members Carolyn1980 Posted June 19, 2011 Members Share Posted June 19, 2011 Actually, I read that they're doing it next year, because both shows will be eligible for Emmy's next year (since the eligibility period for next year is Jan-Dec 2011). Technically, OLTL would also be eligible the following year, since it will air for three weeks during that eligibility period, but I doubt it would compete that year.

Members JaneAusten Posted June 19, 2011 Members Share Posted June 19, 2011 Did they do a tribute to ATWT last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carolyn1980 Posted June 19, 2011 Members Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yeah, it was done by Jon Hensley and his wife...and it lasted about two minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 19, 2011 Members Share Posted June 19, 2011 I guess GL was the "luckiest", with a random Betty White tribute and a blink and you'll miss it cast shot, with a lot of stuff cut before airing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted June 19, 2011 Members Share Posted June 19, 2011 Don't forget, GL's montage was set to Rihanna's "Take a Bow," a song in which she tells a guy that he looks dumb as hell, his lies had her going for a while, and it's time for him to get the f!ck. ATWT's 50th anniversary tribute was way better than the farewell salute, but that's really saying nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 19, 2011 Members Share Posted June 19, 2011 I really hope there aren't protests tonight at the Emmy's. That's utterly stupid. Way to disrespect the actor's there being honored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted June 19, 2011 Members Share Posted June 19, 2011 All My Shadows, Thank you for saying what you did about the GL tribute. I remember at the time people thought it was great, but that song was ludicrous except if you look at it as a screw you to the people who ruined the program. Of course, the Emmy people would not be subversive. I think it is okay that there isn't an AMC or OLTL tribute this year, because it is Father's Day weekend. It would stink to have to travel just for a 2 minute montage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 Randy would spend the entire time telling people that he worked with Mariah and Whitney, and then agreeing with everything everyone says. Did you know that Agnes Dixon changed her name because she didn't want people to know she had dubbed Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 ThSoapWhisperer Soap Whisperer So I've done some more digging... It appears ABC won't sell because they are afraid AMC & OLTL may find success on another network. ThSoapWhisperer Soap Whisperer If they r successful on another network, it would be a slap in face on how others are more successful then they are with their own shows. ThSoapWhisperer Soap Whisperer Will continue to investigate and see what we can uncover. ThSoapWhisperer Soap Whisperer If you also remember Chrishell's tweeting about rumors a few months back and we thought they were about Frons. That wasn't the case. ThSoapWhisperer Soap Whisperer She had heard the same thing, ABC had offers for the soaps. At that time it was not known ABC would decline.

Members NYC123 Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 IF ABC would sell, which they won't, I really do it finds success on another network. Stupid management screwed up A LOT of things about the soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
