You know, I've been waiting for the Emmys for 1988 to be posted for a lonnnnng time, especially the Lead Actress category. But I distinctly remember Marcy's clip being completely different from what we see here. It was actually from the same episode that was in A Martinez's reel and Eden was trying to convince Cruz that miracles can happen and actually stood up from her wheelchair. I even remember most of the lines, like her saying "Our lives have been filled with miracles" as she stood up. Is it possible that this is from an airing in a different country and we got different clips? Even Marcy Walker looks confused.

Wow, not a single acting nomination for Y&R. I wonder why Y&R did not win any acting Emmys from 1986-1990, even though it was on the rise to #1 and eventually reached it during that period.

Quite the all-star lineup in the Younger Actress category: Julianne Moore, Robin Wright, Lauren Holly, Tichina Arnold. Why was Andrea Evans nominated in the younger category when she was 30 at the time? I'm guessing the age cutoff of 26 went in place not long after that

How SB won two years in a row is beyond me. The show was a dreadful mess. I couldnt stand Eden or Cruz...the whole characters were such a bore..its unfortunate considering how they had such great actors....I still dont understand how the Dobsons were the same ones that wrote ATWT brilliant yet SB was awful.

I distinctly remember her clip for that year though and it was powerful. What this shows is fluff and no way would she have submitted something like that in 1988 when she had such heavy story all year. They confined her to a wheelchair for months- I'd imagine she'd submit something from that period as opposed to them on a date in a theater, no? Hell, I have clips of that storyline of Cruz's trial/Elena's murder and both she and A were magnificent. There is a plethora of episodes she could have chosen from, why pick that one?

I don't know. I remember that being Susan Lucci's clip and Helen Gallagher's clip but I promise you, I remember Marcy's and that is not what was shown. The only thing I can think of is maybe they used it for her to present? Does she present an award on this telecast?

And the Dobsons were only in charge through spring 1988 and then again in 1991. SB is a love it or hate it kinda soap so it doesn't surprise me when I see negative comments about it. For me, it was soap heaven, which is where it is now, along with the rest of them save the final four.

    • Denise had so much inherent warmth, yet also layered her work with neuroses and emotion, making sure her characters were never as one-dimensional as the writing could have been. She was one of the first high profile poachings from one soap to another, which could have been a recipe for disaster, but she worked hard and turned Lesley into such an integral part of GH's rebuilding. The show may not have survived the '70s without her.  I wish they'd done more with Lesley when they brought her back in 1996. I hope more of Denise's run at DAYS will appear. I enjoyed Denise's work on AW, in a very underwritten part - it felt like she was just hitting her stride in playing the role when she left.  We are losing so many of our legends, but in moments like this I try to just be grateful we had them for as long as we did.  I do feel terrible for those at GH as they've been hit hard the last few years. 
    • Before my time, but besides Lesley, I know many say her work on Days as Susan was fabulous. I saw a clip, when Julie met Doug for the first time (with Susan the one that introduced them as BJ Hunnicutt David Banning was in the background!)... But so much of her work as Susan is not available. May Denise Alexander rest in peace!
    • Oh, no. I came in at the tail end of her Susan Martin run on Days and instantly loved her. I started watching GH because of her, not the Luke & Laura phenom. And though I thought AW wasted her as Mary McKinnon, her talent and charisma was still on full display. Thanks for the memories, Denise. 
    • I didn’t know if you were being serious or not for a second I really feel like the way they’re mixing up who’s interacting with who, a couple of changes to the overall look (lighting, camera angles) and a few actors having changes in hairstyle etc (Naomi and Nicole are the first that comes to mind), there may have been a break in production before this week’s episodes were shot and they’ve reassessed a few things (in particular I noticed the lighting has improved and a lot of my gripes around the makeup - particularly on some of the female cast has also improved - two things which go hand in hand), perhaps some episodes have been edited and moved around to still give the Friday cliffhanger which is why Derek and Ashley were edited out of an episode they were slated to appear in etc. Regardless, this week has been excellent and I’ve noticed the actor who plays Martin is improving and Hayley too - especially given how poorly the Hayley character is written and how her personality / motivation changes from scene to scene.

    • Didn't she look good. First thing I thought. As I was watching I was thinking Timon Durrett is a damn good actor. I fell out! Oh man, this is going to be good. I'm starting to go along with Eva may not be her biological daughter.
    • And, the first storyline I remember was DAYS Susan & David & Julie & poor baby Dickie. Denise as Susan was the STAR of that story. 
    • A masterclass. A true masterclass.
