Amazing that Labine was the first GH head writer to win; of course, she kept shutting out GH writers when she won year after year at RH.  Guza won the other three for GH
Does anyone know which episodes Days submitted for writing in 2012 (winning)?  That was the year that Macpherson/Thomas wrote 7.5 months and Higley wrote 4.5.

Amazing how many of the soap writers are recycled when you look back at the nominee lists.  That's what's wrong with these shows.  Can we say: Sally Sussman??  Who shouldn't be writing YR right now.  Terrible!

 

Weird how YR won a string of directing awards in 80s then some in 90s then hardly any since.  Bell hired some awesome directors that Latham dismantled and the show has never been the same.  Sally MacDonald is the only one who knows the style of YR.  Renfroe, Eilbaum need to go.  Bring back Kathryn Foster, Mike Denny!  

 

B&B won writing four times but only three years are listed above.  ??

That's cause Y&R directing was stellar back in the 70's and 80's. No other soap compared. They had Heather Hill, Frank Pacelli, Mike Denney, Randy J. Robbins, Rudy Vejar, Kathryn Foster.

 

I like Owen Renfroe directing but I've never cared for Michael Eilbaum's directing.

    • Are we sure Kat isn't really Dani's daughter?  She acts a lot more like Dani then either Chelsea or Naomi do.... imho.   She certainly loves breaking and entering people's places and has a one track vendetta like her auntie Dani. I'm glad to see some movement on the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story, but thinking about it... the pacing for this tale has been just right.  We needed to see Doug sink further and further into gambling addiction to the point where he can't pay it back... and we needed to see Joey/Vanessa in conversations getting to know one another before the two ended up hooking up.   So now I'm curious to see what happens next... and if Nicole and/or Dani will weigh in on this.. and if the dropped Jacob angle will be revived. Nice to see Ashley/Derek being support for the Bill/Hayley/Naomi/Chelsea situation with Ashley finally having a scene with Hayley while Derek lets Naomi know about Bill.   So Chelsea's new crush is the doctor handling Bill's case.  I wonder why she's acting so mysterious. Thoughts on the 'Coming next week' scenes: Andre... Dani is acting like a teenager about to be discovered hooking up with her boyfriend by her dad.  You're more mature than her..imho. Now Sharon/Tracy/Anita have buried the hatchet?   Or maybe it's a fake out.
    • The 90’s apartment Phyllis had will always be her best set, IMO.

    • I agree with you about rules & regs but, frankly, choosing between retirement & working uncredited, come on, we know what she'd choose & she'd be right to do so. 
    • Hold up, hold up, hold up!!!   MADISON MONTGOMERY???   If a Zoe, Misty Day, and/or Queenie shows up...lol.
    • The Producers Guild of America (PGA), while not a union, does have rules and regulations regarding membership, conduct, and yes, credits. Assuming she’s a member of course. Being uncredited for what work exactly? Given her years of experience and multiple Emmy wins - why now decide you want to go uncredited for work you’ve done? 
    • That's very sad. What party he represented for and which area he represented? 
    • -- Daisy is a terrible name. If you're not going with a family legacy name, you gotta do better than that. -- When Frank is done with a character, he makes sure that character is painted in the worst possible way and the shade is thrown in the script. Natalia is being treated like a punchline to a bad joke....not that I mind. -- So Cody talked about Britt today. Gee, I wonder what's going on.
    • I remember another Phyllis residence -- I don't think that was a set shown abovethread, but I'm not sure.  Trying to remember some things off the top of my head but I might be wrong about part of it: I'm referring to the condo where Phick first had sex after the Michael/Lauren wedding.  I think they specifically referred to it as a condo?  After Stafford's Phyllis went into a coma, Jack sold it and I think he gave money to HunterKing's Summer when she married Austin? Or he gave Summer the condo?    There was a convoluted side plot about someone needing money and something from this was drawn in a shady way.  Something about it being sold?  And then when GinaT's Phyllis awoke from her coma, she had no condo to come back to.
    • Which union rules? SMH. Jill’s back, uncredited. 
    • Yeah I don’t get why she wouldn’t be credited if she’s back. That seems odd. I hope it’s true though, because the show needs a change. Badddddd.
