Wow. Crickets. Forgot they were being announced today. 

 

I'm so indifferent to people who are nominated. The few people I was hoping for were mostly looked over. It's funny how most Supporting Actress nods are for people who left their shows long ago. And that Younger Lead Actor category. Hmm K. 

 

Please don't let Heather Tom win. That'll just encourage Brad to write for her more.

Apparently, Pierson Fode got nominated for scenes involving him taking off his shirt cause the guy can't act. And how in the hell was the actor who plays RJ already nominated?....LOL

 

The Emmys are so fucked up!

  1. Kelly Sullivan being nominated exemplifies why Daytime isn't taken seriously anymore. This broad chews more scenery than most and she gets a nomination? Why? She was abysmal on GH and Y&R. Can they please stop trying to make her "fetch?"
  2. The younger categories need to be scrapped at this point. I used to be an advocate for the categories, but now they are pointless. Long gone are the days of the Anne Heche, Sarah Brown, Jonathan Jackson, Heather Tom, Monti Sharp type young, powerhouse actors. 
  3. It is obvious that Supporting Actor is gonna go to either Steve or Chad. But then again, this show gave an EMMY to Drew Tyler Bell, so Jeffery Parise's dreadful ass might walk out with the win. 
  4. I PRAY that anyone but Peter Bergman wins in Best Actor. I'm rooting for Kristoff to make history and become the 2nd actor (after Heather Tom), to win an award in every category, but I doubt it'll happen. 
  5. Lead Actress is the only category where I don't have an idea where it'll go as all the actresses are powerhouses.

The Emmy nominations have become more of a popularity contest than anything else. It has nothing to do with talent anymore.

 

Jess Walton and Kristoff St. John are nominated but for what? They had no storylines if I remember correctly. I am glad they were nominated but for what?

 

I can't stand Peter Bergman. I hope he doesn't win either.

Jess Walton had Lead Actress worthy scenes when Billy was hospitalized. She had a big breakdown against Jack, Ashley and (I think) Tracey - Gina Tognoni was in those episodes too. 

 

If thats what she submitted, she had the scenes (rather than storyline) to get nominated. Will she win? Who knows. I'd love to see her win because she is a phenomenal actress whose never taken her job for granted. Plus, she's 70 and still in the game after enduring MAB and Paul Rauch treating her like crap.

These days winning based on scenes instead of story is normal. I'd rather the person with the best reel win instead of the person who was a lead, picks the wrong thing and gets it based on nothing beyond recognition.

 I remember those scenes. It has to be what she submitted because they were awesome. Jess brought me to tears, it truly felt like she was losing her son. And it was all Jill, since JT Billy was brand new at the time. I would've felt nothing for him if it wasn't for her. Not to mention he was in a coma.

 

I hope she wins too, but she didn't have as much screen time as the others in her category that year. I don't think that's supposed to count but voters could factor that in. But if her crappy treatment is figured in too, that might make it up for it. MAB ripped apart her character for years. I still remember her last scene before she was forced out under MAB, it was Genevive throwing mud all over Jill. It was a disgusting way for a 25+ year vet to be written off, MAB was so nasty. Jess deserves a Emmy just for handling all that with class.

 

 With only 4 soaps left, the win has to based on quality of the reel, in order to have any sort of competition. If only the most used actors from each soap were considered why bother? They already get an advantage in that they have many more scenes to choose from so it's not like their screen time doesn't help.

I had forgotten all about that. The show has been so bad for so long that the show is forgettable. I hope she wins but the best reel always never wins. They'll hand over the award to some actress who can't act.

If Heather Tom wins, she'll tie Erika Slezak with the most Emmy wins by an actress. Erika also holds the record for most Lead Actress wins (6), followed by Susan Flannery (4), Kim Zimmer (4), Helen Gallagher (3), and Maura West (3).

 

Peter Bergman scored his 20th nomination. He's one nomination away from tying Susan Lucci's record for most nominations overall. Peter and Susan are tied for most consecutive nominations (13).

    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.  
    • I believe it was. And this is actually one of the cases where I wouldn’t mind some dumb soap opera bringing back from the dead. They gave Mishael, Amanda, with all of Hilary’s connections but none of the personality except for fleeting moments. Hilary absolutely should’ve just left town. They decided to kill her and the baby. Just baffling,
    • That was Mal Young right? He thought a tragic death was a better option than crafting a story where Hilary leaves town. Was it a case of punishing someone who wants to leave? And then they have to jump through hoops to bring the actress back.
    • Ooo @TaoboiI will say I just watched Amanda give it to Abby and I loved it. Honestly just made me miss Hilary more. I will never understand or get over that decision to kill her off. Also call me crazy but I could definitely see the Damian actor playing NuTed on BTG. Very much still enjoying the Lily attraction.
    • I rewatched these episodes---they broke my heart. Somehow, Nola had seen Vanessa leave the hospital, and follows her home, and Maeve just lets out this primal scream---chills went down my spine. And knowing the history between them---never quite liking the other and always getting on each other's nerves (to put it mildly)---makes it a much richer to have them put it all aside in the moment and be family to each other. I've never seen/heard what Maeve thought of the story itself, but she did want a break, so it's not like she was fired and then brought back. Yes, Vanessa could be this stubborn and unwilling to ask for help. She'd pretty much always been an "I can do this on my own" type of woman, although when she first came to town, she would still run to Henry. But after she met Billy, she stopped relying on her father. It's part of the reason she (briefly) got addicted to pills after Bill's birth---she was determined to take care of him all by herself and became obsessed with the idea she was the only one who could. Of course, nothing before to this extreme. I should say, there's no way (IMO) they could've told this story---Vanessa letting her loved ones thinking she'd died---if her father Henry had still been alive. She never would've been able to do that to him. And it does chafe that she's letting Bill believe it, when her mantra had been all about protecting him since the day he was born. I honestly don't recall what I thought about it at the time. But now I'm thrilled she's free of Matt at least. LOL.
    • I had no idea Peter Reckell was 70. He doesn’t look or feel it and I guess I thought Bo and Hope were closer in age than 9 years. Wow even the new writers had to have Jack praise Leo. Melissa Reeves continues to slip back in effortlessly as Jennifer. I like Ari and Holly being old friends. Holly learning about John’s death reminded me of how John used to call her Nikki if my memory is serving me right. Doug who happily sleeps in high school Holly’s room shirtless and in his underwear is now asking about birth years. How old is he anyway?    The Cat and Chad romance is insulting. 
    • Her husband is Marty Levy. Chocolate Fortunes (her company) was started in 1987.  So that explains the mystery of 'Whatever happened to Pam Peters?' She had been running a successful business for decades.
