2012 Daytime Emmy's Discussion

The other thing the daytime emmys confirmed for me is that I could have a brilliant second career as a stylist for soap actors. Dear God there were some awful choices in hair, makeup, accessories and attire last night. At the top of the list for needing a stylist was the hot mess that was Susan Lucci. God I love her, but when she freelances, it's painfully obvious.

I don't blame them, man are actor's/actresses pissed about the non tribute last night

Eden Riegel@edenriegel

Um... How do you do a tribute to two beloved long-running soaps and not show a single clip? #DaytimeEmmys

Nice they thanked the fans but was that the tribute to AMC and OLTL?? Where were the flashbacks? WTF??? #DaytimeEmmys

This show was a complete mess. Susan Lucci was highly irritating. No suitable AMC, OLTL tribute, after hype about it. Cheap production, very sloppy. One bit of music, a few bars, highly annoying, between segments and announcing categories. Way too much emphasis on the categories, like talk shows, cooking shows, which took time away from the soaps. Not enough panning through the audience. Or showing the nominees. I could go on. Good emmy shows, thing of the past.

And would you believe she wasn't wearing a new dress? I've seen her in that dress before, either on AMC or some event...I was shocked to see a recycled dress. And the hair...it looked like one of Joan Collins' biggest wigs and everyone knows I love Joan Collins...but it takes a certain person to pull off hair that big.

Lucci is capable of looking so beautiful, classy and elegant.

The whole event, from top to bottom, was an unmitigated disaster. Lisa Rinna was the highlight, she really didn't seem to give a [!@#$%^&*].

Yes, I know. I am so glad I'm not the only Lucci photo stalker. :D She wore it to a broadway event a few years ago, with equally bad hair. The silky spaghetti strap look just feels very dated, and it's more flattering on a younger woman/someone who has a little more body fat. I was perusing the formal attire on Neiman Marcus's website this morning, and I saw at least a half dozen dresses on her that would have looked so much better on her!

Susan is such a beautiful woman, but when left to her own devices, she tends to dress like Erica Kane circa 1985: big hair, lots of makeup, and bright, flashy clothes.

For me the highlight of the show was reading Nancy Lee Grahn's sarcastic drunk tweets... until she won. She was much more reserved after she won, and that was kind of a letdown.

    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • 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
