Article: Daytime Emmys, Primetime Nightmares

Well I haven't put up copies I have of Tom Smith's columns for a while but here is this reviewing the 2002 Daytime Emmys which we all might recall had a fiasco or two. Love his description of Sheffer and criticizing Hunt Block's acting during the Bryant story:

I had totally forgotten about the Susan drama. Wow that seems like a lifetime ago. "Pumpkinhead" ha ha...

If it is for health reasons then I'm sorry but otherwise I'm glad Sheffer has stayed out of the spotlight and hasn't had as many interviews in recent years. He is the epitome of the soap "writer" who hates soaps and who gets attention because he likes to say shocking things, not for any talent. I used to be disgusted by his comments and attitude at ATWT, even as many went on about how brilliant it was.

They were right about Block's "acting" during Bryant's death. It was a wooden catastrophe.

And Maura definitely should have won over Chappell.
