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! :)

I'll field this one also.

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

And the WINNER IS...........

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?

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
