Then give her a Lifetime Achievement award and call it a day. OR she should have placed her name in SUPPORTING that year, as she was a glorified extra for all of 2007 until the last month and a half or so. Had she won in 2010 (for her work in 2009) then I may have felt it would have been deserved. BUT NO WAY did she deserve it in '08.

Oh and yes, I misspoke in my original post- her win was in 2008. Editing to reflect that! :)

And the NOMINEES for OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS are:

Robin Christopher, General Hospital

Crystal Chappell, Guiding Light

Ilene Kristen, One Life To Live

Heather Tom, One Life To Live

Jeanne Cooper, The Young and the Restless

and

Natalia Livingston, General Hospital

AMEN Juniorz! Natalia did not deserve that. Robin Christopher was continually ignored. :(

However, I'd take a ridiculous win for Jeanne over one for LW anyday. Jeanne is a good actress, and even when not used, is way better than whatever it is Laura Wright considers..acting.

Exactly. It should have been a battle between Robin and Heather that year. Given, I think Natalia DID have a pretty strong reel but NL on her best day can't even touch any of those other 5 actresses on their worst, ESPECIALY Robin & Heather.

That was 2 years in a row that Robin was robbed by less deserving GH costars- Vanessa and Natalia, though I do think Vanessa's win was far more deserved than Natalia's.

Was Robin a bitch on the GH set or something? Perhaps not well liked somce she was the last FOJ standing? She did follow JFP from OLTL to GH after all....

Y&R in the fall of 1991, during Nikki's substance abuse storyline, there was a scene of Nikki getting dressed and her hands were shaking when she was applying her makeup. Melody Thomas Scott didn't even get nominated for lead actress in 1992, and she had the bad luck to score her first and so far only Emmy nomination the year that Susan Lucci won.

The majority of Y&R's major actresses (Julianna McCarthy, MTS, Heather Tom, Sharon Case, Vicky Rowell, Tricia Cast, Beth Maitland, Tracy Bregman, Alex Donnelly, Eileen Davidson, Tonya Lee Williams) each should have at LEAST one Lead Actress Emmy each in addition to Jess & Jeanne's wins.

Ashley Bashioum, Lauren Woodland & Lyndsy Fonseca should have Younger Lead Actress Emmy's too.

Debbi Morgan deserved one for the train station scenes.

Tamara Tunie deserved one for the Marshall in court scenes.

As for Jeanne's win, it WAS a weak year in that category in 2008. I felt Maura should have repeated, but I can't quite remember what she submitted that year. I don't think 2007 was the year Carly was "dying" was it? Or maybe it was....

Nicole Forrester didn't deserve it. The Stafford was truly doin the giggly thing in 2007 FOR SURE! I think Crystal Chappell was the favorite but I can't remember what she submitted either. Regardless, it was a weak year for that category so I guess that's how Cooper broke through.

Ok, that was a little harsh IMO. What are you, some kind of rival of hers? Seems like a rather odd thing to see.

Either way, wrong thread- take it to the DTS: Love/Hate section, k?

Buh bye EastMA2 and so long! B)

Well Heather Tom never submitted in lead, so that's why she hasn't got one. I don't think Tricia Cast and Beth Maitland were ever truly leads- just my opinion. I also don't think Tracey Bregman is that great, certainly not strong enough to have a Lead Actress win. In fact, the only time she was really lead was during the Sheila storyline and she was FAR outshone by Kimberlin Brown, who you failed to mention and certainly should have a Lead Actress win by now, let alone Supporting. TLW if she had the guts to go lead during the Keisha storyline I think would have had a real shot if she submitted right.

Julianna, MTS, ED, and of course Alex Donnelly I agree with you 100% on.

I'm sorry but of your Younger Actress picks, I can only see Ashley actually deserving it. Lauren Woodland was a vortex of boring, save her first year or so, and Fonseca, while good, always seemed kind of green in her early days. To be honest, I ended up preferring Adrianne Leon as Colleen.

Tunie & Morgan for sure, though even in the Marshall storyline, I'd consider Tunie Supporting on ATWT. I was actually disappointed that she didn't return for the end of ATWT, as she worked a fair amount during the first half of Goutman's tenure and certainly was a major character before then as well.

Never. Gets. Old.

"I don't care about your cat I only care about Shawn tell me where you saw him why hasn't he called me is he alright?" :lol:

Those hand gestures? AH-MAY-ZING!

Oh I'm pretty sure she wasn't, which is what disappointed me. I also felt she got a raw deal on the "Ladies on a Bus" ATWT 50th Anniversary episode- she had been there longer than Dolan, no? She wasn't on recurring at that point yet was she?

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (

    • The show is done. It got canceled at the end of January. https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2025/02/fox-first-run-cancels-dish-nation-person-place-or-thing-pictionary-759232

    • Upton introduced a slew of new characters which must have had viewers heads spinning. And then Jean Holloway wrote all of them out. No wonder viewers switched off. And now we return to Love of Life... Charles, after a long period of refusing to admit he’s paralyzed, has had to accept his new life in a wheelchair, but insists that only Felicia care for him. Despite her growing exhaustion, he refuses to consider hiring a nurse, and Felicia, under the weight of her self imposed guilt forfeits her art work to accede to Charles’s demands and devote herself entirely tohis needs. She tells herself that being a prisoner in this house is her punishment and refuses to allow her mind to drift to Eddie, who had opened her mind to new levels. Despite Dr. Cusack’s insistence on additional help after Felicia’s first collapse, Charles continues to insist that only she can administer to him. But Felicia collapses again, this time with viral pneumonia, and a nurse is brought in. Felicia’s condition worsens instead of improving, causing Joe to speculate that it’s due to Charles’s subtle encouragement of Felicia’s guilt feelings and her own self-punishment. Eddie visits her, even though they decided not to see each other any more because of the emotional pull between them. In the delirium of a spiking fever Felicia calls out for Eddie. Joe feels she has reached a crisis and wants her in the hospital, but Charles is still clinging to her. When Felicia finally passes the crisis point and recovers, Sara warns her that she called for Eddie and must be more careful in the future.  The district attorney charges Ben with fraud and conspiracy. Meg puts up his bail. As Arlene, terrified of jail, is taken into custody, Carrie has an attack of chest pain. Ben continues to try to prove to Betsy that he loves her and has grown up, but circumstances continue to make her question his motives, and she rejects his overtures. Arlene, questioned by the court officer preparing the court report, cynically states that the rich, like the Harpers, always get away with everything and she will take the rap. She accidentally slips and mentions the forged divorce papers, and the officer notes this.Carrie is hospitalized. Joe suspects a dangerous thoracic aneurism, but then, all heart involvements are dangerous. Arlene wants to stay, but has to go to court for the sentencing. Ben, at his own insistence, makes a statement absolving Arlene of all responsibility, saying her only crime was loving him too much. The judge takes this into consideration and sentences Arlene to six months probation. However, when sentencing Ben, he explains that new evidence has turned up—the forgeries—and Ben is sentenced to one to four years. Ben asks to begin serving his sentence immediately. As Ben tried to arrange financial aid for Betsy through Jamie, she visits him in jail, saying the offer was “decent” but this is her baby. When he insists the baby was conceived in love, Betsy claims he was only pretending love. When Ben tells her to tell the baby that “there was a father who would have really welcomed him into this world,” Betsy rushes out in tears, and Ben starts to cry. Jamie, having waited patiently for Diana to recover from her emotional depressionn,now tells her he can no longer live with her as brother and sister. Diana replies that they have good memories and have taught each other how deep a relationship can be, but now it is time for them to go their separate ways. Meg, learning that the child of an annulled marriage is legitimate and the father has rights, sets up a trust fund for Betsy’s baby. Betsy doesn’t want her child ruined by money. Arlene is having trouble holding a job, despite help from her parole officer, and is under the twin pressures of having to repay Ray’s bail loan and the stunning news that Carrie’s necessary surgery will cost over ten thousand dollars. Carrie, discovering this, checks herself out of the hospital. Joe and Dr. Tom Crawford explain to Arlene that the money end of the surgery can be handled through the free clinic, but Carrie must have the surgery now. But Carrie’s past due hospital bill has been turned over to a collection agency, and Arlene is out of work again, so she goes to Ray for help. He would like to turn her down, as he has discovered that she was informing Rick of Ray’s attempts to muscle in on Skylar Mountain, but when his influential customer, Mr. Ian Russell, tells Ray he wants to meet that girl, Ray lets Arlene know he has a job for her. Meg asks Rick if they can start over together, but Rick has had it and is clearing out his desk. Learning that Ray has withdrawn his backing offer to Rick and that Rick has no available cash, Meg calls his bluff. She sets a price on her share so high that Rick can’t touch it, and sets her price for buying him out so low that he would have nothing left. Rick and Cal decide to elope and tell everyone afterward. But Meg gets wind of the plans and confronts them in Rick’s office. She blurts out that Cal is not the only one who loves Rick and that she and Rick were lovers as recently as a month ago. Rick tries to explain to Cal, but she is revolted and takes off in her car. When she runs it off the road, she takes off on foot, and is found, exhausted, by a hunter, who calls the highway patrol. When Rick arrives with Joe,. she refuses to let Rick anywhere near her. Cal refuses to believe Rick’s assurances that he’s really through with Meg, and makes plans to go to San Francisco. Meg, learning from Jamie .that Rick is severing their partnership, informs her lawyer that she wants all monies in both Beaver Ridge and Skylar _ Mountain tied up, and she wants Rick ruined. Rick follows Cal to California and tells her he has given up everything to prove that Meg means nothing to him. Cal insists that she feels nothing, but relents when Betsy calls, confirming everything Rick has said. She then admits that she loves him but says it won’t work. But Meg has followed them and confronts them in Cal’s hotel room. She informs Rick she’s bringing a suit against him for breaking up their partnership and this will ruin him. Rick quickly points out that Meg just defeated herself rather than him, because Cal had refused to marry him, thinking her mother loved him. Seeing what Meg’s “love” is, there is no reason for Cal to deny her own love for him.
