I was hoping, with that "full circle" moment, that we'd see Jess Walton win Lead Actress again, as she did 20 years ago, but alas...

That would have been great....I almost did see the parallel's with the RENT stuff, and the montages....
again I'm happy Gina won, but wish it was Jess too.

I'm sad Jess Walton didn't win because it would have been a wonderful 30th anniversary present for her but she has two and you couldn't say Gina had an undeserving reel. Michelle Stafford looked very happy for Gina's win. 

 

Jess's reel was wonderful but I knew she wouldn't win. Everyone she was up against were main players on their show. I realize technically it's not supposed to make a difference, but you know it does.

 

I wish the writers would use JW more often why she's still around. She's being wasted. The last writer that really wrote for her was Bill Bell.

+1.

Mary Hart went on and on and on. But I like Mary Hart, so that was fine with me. When ET dumped her after 29 years to replace her with a younger model in Nancy O'Dell, Mary took the highest of high roads and left with her dignity intact. Somewhere along the way it seems CBS realized they did wrong by her and in the intervening six years many a tribute has been paid to her. She deserved this lifetime achievement Emmy and her friends in the industry ensured that she got it. It will sit proudly in a display case in her ritzy Sierra Towers condo.

 

I adore Mary Hart, she was always the best part of ET. I remember watching her with John Tesh years ago. Anyone seen Mary Hart on "Baby Daddy?" She's freaking wonderful, she plays a way over the top version of herself lol

The Agnes Nixon tribute was nice (actually, it is worth a look if you can find it) and the opening was surprisingly decent and at least there was an In Memoriam (unlike last year) but it wasn't 'must see' or anything.

 

 

So, this is kind of weird but did each show have their own Red Carpet? LOL.

 

I didn't know Alex Wyse was there at the Emmys last night. He is adorable. I knew Jacob Young was there because he posted a pic of him and Susan Lucci on social media.

Who wrote for JW after Bill Bell died?

 

In 2005 Gloria was created and Jill was cut way way back. She has never recovered. After that MAB pretty much replaced her with Tucker. Then she wasn't used, and now Gloria is back again.

Peter Bergman was robbed.  This was not Scott Clifton's year.  

 

It's a popularity contest. No one can tell me with a straight face that Scott deserved all those wins. He only has one type of acting. He seems like a goofball on the set and probably very popular with his peers and thus his Emmy wins.

 

I am glad Peter didn't win though. He is very smug. I don't care for  him.

 

Btw...Scott Clifton's wife is ugly.

Eric Braeden. No? 

 

I noticed SBu didn't think her but did remember Maurice Bernard who had nothing to do with him getting this Emmy.

I've always liked Mary Hart too. Hated seeing her booted from ET, she was the main draw to me.

I like Scott Clifton. 32 is very young to have won the trifecta. 

 

Scott Clifton is the first Lead Actor winner born in the 1980s. Surprisingly, he isn't the youngest Lead Actor winner at the time of his win. Darnell Williams was 30 when he won Lead Actor in 1985.

 

Only three Lead Actor winners were under age 35 at the time of their wins: Darnell Williams, Billy Miller (he turned 35 in 2014, after his Lead Actor win that year), Scott Clifton.

I saw his work on the show that he submitted in the emmy reels and it wasn't emmy winning worthy. He shouldn't have one. I've seen many more better performances that didn't win an emmy.

Your original statement said nothing about Bill Bell's death. You said, "The last writer that really wrote for her was Bill Bell."

 

Kay Alden wrote riveting material for Jess Walton for YEARS. From the Chancellor mansion fight to her fun and sexy relationships with men like Larry. I'd say Jill was her crowning achievement, along with the teenagers. If we're talking after Bell's death then, yes, you are correct.

Sorry, that's what I meant. I never really thought of anyone, other than him, being in charge of the writing until after he died. Of course, now we know he had Alzheimer's. So maybe he didn't have as much influence as I thought at the end????

 

I hope what Kay wrote for Jill was because she was the one who was invested in her. It gives me some reason to remain optimistic.
