I don't know what to think of this years's awards. it might be the last time i'll watch but only because my OLTL won't be on next year. (i know there is a very silm chance it might considering it did some weeks in January but probably not.) I was disapointed that Erika Slezak didn't win. i know she already has seven but it would have been nice to win one more. But again i'm semi-happy Heather Tom won because they said she won best younger actress, best supporting actress and now best actress.

and what the hell was Cameron Mattheson doing with the two diva's of Daytime. Clearly they could have put someone else who say worked more than a decade and a half. They couldn't have gotten Robert Woods or asked Micheal E Night to come for the tribute. and i thought there would be a montage but all they did was talk. that was a little disapointing. I'm thrilled to have seen more of Erika and Susan but i would have liked a montage of the both shows. I don't know why they talked about Guiding Light and As The World Turns, those shows have been off the air for years.

I loved when Deidra Hall said something to the audience like "I'll say who won!" She's great.

This is what upset me, as I felt they were basically saying goodbye to daytime, not just AMC and OLTL. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad those shows were acknowledged, especially since ATWT was given the bum's rush, but seeing this mentioned on an awards show which was gamely trying to pretend that soaps were still relevant was like a bucket of cold water. I felt like there was an air of, "We know this is over, let's just try to pretend."

I did appreciate what Erika was trying to say, that daytime soaps still mattered (and she didn't say it in the boilerplate, empty way Cameron Mathison did) but it just felt so funereal.

Then Deirdre basically said the same things, although she was smart enough to add a plug for people to watch DAYS.

I think the only reason Mathison was on that stage was his various hosting/"reporting" duties. I would have loved to have seen David Canary, or Julia Barr. I hope they were at least asked.

It probably is for me, too. They can keep fellating GH for years to come for all I care. Of course with just 4 soaps left, they either might have no more show or a show with more "other" content.Who knows who would watch that..

I was hoping for Darnell to win but at least it was Geary instead of Maurice Benard!tongue.png

If only we'd known how prescient those words turned out to be...

In what universe were the writers of DAYS better than Agnes Nixon & Lorraine Broderick????

I have nothing against Heather Thom, but Debbi gave the performance of the year, hands down!

It took Regis leaving for them to finally start winning!

Why the [!@#$%^&*] did they waste time of this [!@#$%^&*] instead of making montages for AMC & OLTL?

I was wondering that too.

I need to find Susan's full quote. I was so pissed after watching the awards that I deleted them from my DVR.

CaMat's place should've gone to either David Canary or Michael Knight, but only if Agnes herself wasn't available to stand between her two divas.

And where the hell was our video montage?!?

My thoughts exactly! ABC Daytime is dead to me

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Darn · Posted

      Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.

      Correction, Chicago Hope 1994/95 was initially Thursday 9 pm, a CBS dead zone and head-to-head w/ Seinfeld. 1994/95 CBS Thursday 10 pm initially was Eye to Eye with Connie Chung. Later in the season CBS did a scheduling shift with Chicago Hope moving to Monday 10 pm, Eye to Eye with Connie Chung moving to Thursday 9 pm, and 48 Hours moving from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm.

      A--I wish someone would post a better vid of the entire ball, as it must be out there. And B--nope. Evie is only in a small segment of the ball with Phillip, Rick and Mindy. She doesn't dance at all. Ross dances with Helena and Amanda. I'm not even sure why Evie is at the ball---Vanessa heartily disliked her. I did see that Billy actually asked Henry to introduce him to Vanessa, which I hadn't realized.

      Honestly, they should've ordered more of 2000 Malibu Road for the 1992-93 midseason and aired it when Knots went on a break. That was probably their best shot.    Then of course they fumbled Central Park West by airing it in the 9PM slot instead of a 10PM slot where it would've been away from the Fox dramas. CPW got its best rating by airing randomly on a Sunday and when it was taken off the air for a "re-tooling", Party of Five's ratings actually had a spike, so clearly they were feeding off each other. But being a smaller network focused on a certain demographic, Fox could afford to be patient Party of Five, CBS couldn't...

      Agree on Bruce Gray as Owen; they needed to cast star power. He was too lightweight against Kim and he had no chemistry with Frances Fischer except more gay buddy or daddy figure.  I loved Nola and Eliot together though. Lee Godart should have been longer term.

      Andre has the worst fashion of the males which is off putting for someone as fine as he is. His jackets and sweaters look dated and no vintage does not work for him

      I don’t recall MSW having a toy line in the late 80’s or early 90’s like all those Saturday morning cartoons did LOL but thought this was cute when I saw it in a vintage toy store yesterday:
