Can I Nominate Laura Koffman aka Bonarrigo from OLTL? I revisited Kassie DePaiva's (then Wesley) early years as Blair and got a good look at Cassie's Story at the time, miscarriage-adoption-breakdown, i thought she was pretty good and deserved recognition! But was never once indicated

Jensen Buchanan was indicated twice for Her work as Vicky Love Hudson, which means her reels must've been pretty good, but I think she deserved a nod far more for Sarah's RAPE on OLTL than for 75% of her work on AW

Deidre Hall and Robin Strasser were nominated a few times in the early 1980's but both Were never nominated to the Emmys after 1985 and they DID deserve some

Katherine Kelly Lang deserved a Nomination LONG before she got her first one

Was Andrea Evans Ever Indicated?

I'd have given Carmen Duncan a Best Supporting Actress Emmy for this scene:

 

The other absolute shame is that Louise Sorel didn't garner a Best Supporting Actress nomination for the Buried Alive storyline. This scene was worthy, she was terrifying:

 

I also think Lauren Koslow should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her work as Kate on DAYS twice. Once, during the 1998 storyline where she framed Sami for Franco's shooting, and again in 2009 when Kate married Stefano.

Yes, she received a Pre-Nomination that year as Lead Actress. To me, that was the wrong category but DAYS hasn't had a lot of luck getting its actors nominated over the years.

Her fellow Pre Nominee in 2009 was Renee Jones, another actress who should have received an Emmy nomination for the Zach storyline where Lexie turned toward her Dimera roots. She did a lot of very good work in those years and would have had a plethora of scenes to choose from. 

Kristian Alfonso should have been nominated for Zach's death (anyone else remember that primal scream?). She was only nominated once the mid 80s for Younger Actress and I can understand why she wasn't nominated since, but those scenes were exceptional.

I think she was way over the top in that scene and throughout most of her AW tenure. But I acknowledge I was not an objective observer. I was always thinking of how Beverlee would have played Carmen's scenes -- and that was unfair.

I grew to like Carmen, though I never bought her as the Iris I knew.

Yeah, you said it! I really really liked Carmen Duncan, RIP. But, she could never be the goddess that was Beverlee, also RIP. GL got to have Bev setting some new standard for Spaulding women & I'd just 'druther have had her back with us. I feel like TEXAS robbed the mother ship & then it didn't turn out so good for her! Beverlee & Victoria are my two grudges that neither of them ever got an Emmy, although both did get nods, 4 yrs in a row for Beverlee, and one strange yr when both BM & VW were up & Irene Dailey took the statue home. I mean, who knew?!! Aunt Liz was a Supporting Role! 3 nominees in one category from AW?!!

Indeed! And For When Shawn was believed dead too, I might be A Minority here but I Also think she deserved a Nomination for her Work During the Original Princess Gina Storyline in The 1990's she did a Fine Job showing the difference Between Gina and Hope, it's a pity the Storyline was ultimately too long and dragged up (I understand it suffered from 2 Changes in Writers) and Even more demeaned by the Cheap Revivals

    • Stephanie writing a novel is odd.  She's never seemed interested in writing or much of a creative type.  Is One Stormy Night a nod to the primetime Days episode from the early 90's?  That would literally have nothing to do with Stephanie, nor were any of the characters featured in that special closely related to her IIRC.  Although One Stormy Night isn't a super creative title or anything, so it's probably just a coincidence.  And, yes, it was very rude for Alex to just take Stephanie's personal, private writing without asking lol.
    • And its 2025, not the 1970s, 80s, 90s... just bc pre-emptions have been a thing for decades, doesn't mean there shouldnt already be ways to deal with it in the modern era. Airing th episodes in the markets that can and putting them up and directing viewers to CBS.com to see them for free and of course Paramount Plus for those subscribers, seems like a reasonable compromise. Today's tv market leans heavily towards streaming so there is no reason why they shouldnt leverage that when it comes to this
    • Anita Dupree is Ruth Marshall from Generations. Ruth also a past of being a singer who gave it up because of raising a family and having a husband.

    • Your right, as opposed to other matriarchs, even Nancy Hughes, Bert had a vital life outside of her family. She wasn't just sitting in her kitchen waiting for someone to stop by and cry. She volunteered, and later (thanks actually to Pam Long) had a job running the Patient Advocacy program, had friends, it didn't seem weird if she was at a party or an event, (with Nancy even with Marland it was like she was tagging along and every felt responsible for including her)  Bert was kind of a role model for aging gracefully and independently. I dont understand why they didnt bring a recast Mike and Hope back when Alan returned.  Your right, his animosity towards Ed and his branch, seemed forced....but not as much as the years of Alan hating on the Lewis family, then even worse, the Coopers..(like they would be a match for Alan..they would be totally beneath his notice.) They should have had Mike in constant oppostion to Alan and Roger (Ed was too docile and had his own problems at home) especially if Alan was involved with Alex.
    • Loving the show these days, one week into the post Ron era and I am feeling the difference. First off, thrilled to see Steve and Kayla together, and with their daughter. Ron never cared about this legacy couple. Shawn asking Steve to help him steal the drug is very much, finally, in character, for Bo's son. Bo would absolutely do the same thing. I am excited about this whole story, and now Xander is clearly in the mix. Will Titan provide the resources to help Kayla synthesize the drug, save Bo, and then take credit?  Leo was not too bad today but he is still obnoxious. Gabi and Philip though... now that has more spark than she has ever had with dull JJ. Here for this! Especially since it seems he gets to keep his stolen Co CEO job (and honestly, he should, Victor would want him at Titan. I think the solution is Xander gets Titan and Philip gets Dimera).  I liked Xander and Alex too, it is good to see them working together after the whole mess up last year with their names. Stephanie's book was an odd thing. Guess Alex will try to get it published with or without her permission. Kind of rude to just walk off with it.
    • I NEED MY SILK PRESS SHEILA FIX!
    • Thanks! I've kept thinking that he carried some negatives.  Patrick Mulcahey told a story about a scene being written where a helicopter swooped down upon a group of people & the P&G rep tried to sell them on the idea of it not being a helicopter, but a blue luxury sedan. Yeah, NOT. 
    • I've never thought about this. I'm curious about what made you think to pose it as a question. I am strong on AW & weak on OLTL.  Linda Dano & Stephen Schnetzer both acted on OLTL first & then were lifetime characters on AW. Both shows had Agnes Nixon.  Irna Phillips had two main proteges: Agnes Nixon & Bill Bell. Irna was part of the creation of 2 soaps that in the 1970s were in grave danger of very early cancellation. Agnes Nixon saved AW & Bill Bell saved DAYS OF OUR LIVES.  After being HW at AW Agnes created OLTL, right? Her first ABC tenure, where before she had been a P&G writer, 1st GL & then AW. (Do I have that chronology correct?) Both AW & OLTL had very high points in terms of ratings, awards, success & also very low points where they struggled. At times OLTL was considered "not as good" as AMC. At times AW was considered "not as good" as DAYS OF OUR LIVES. They share anything & everything that relates to being a New York City soap. I think they share that they didn't get the respect they deserved. Both had their female lead be the strongest character on the show & also that they were the unquestioned star of the show.  When AW's cancellation was announced, Angela Shapiro went to P&G & tried to buy AW to air on ABC. It is not known how she planned to schedule that but one theory was that she would air AW & OLTL both as half hour soaps, back to back, mid to late afternoon. P&G declined & then she tried to buy the character Felicia Gallant. No, again. Then she did what we all know too well & put Linda Dano as Rae on all the ABC soaps. I have dubbed that 'Shapiro's Folly'.  Honestly, I don't think that OLTL suffered from being "Bay City-fied" or AWfication. However, these are some [nitpick] parallels or similarities. Possibly they are of interest. Anyway, I've had fun with it. 
    • Oh, wow. This explains why there is a scene in one of the 1987 episodes where Alan out of the blue brings up Rita to Ed! It always seemed incredibly out of place before now. For most of 1987 Alan was involved with Vanessa. Marland initially planned to have Rita and Vanessa become rivals over Ed. They ultimately decided Ed and Van were not a good pairing. While I was never convinced Van was in love with Alan, she could be very possessive, so the two of them fighting over him could have been very interesting.  If she had come back with a KID, after Maureen accepted Ed's baby with Claire.... SO MANY great possibilities here. Not to mention, if she had come back, MAYBE that would have kept Alan out of Reva's orbit. (I can dream, can't I?) My guess for why they didn't bring her back in 1989--Alan was being hustled off the canvas, plus after bringing back Zaslow and Garrett, they might not have been able to afford her. He complained a lot about Mike's romantic pairings. I seem to remember he also complained that he didn't get to do enough action scenes. I think he wanted to fly a helicopter in a scene and was miffed they had the stunt man do it. Which was probably done because of insurance reasons. In Locher Room interviews I can't recall anyone who worked with him who speaks of him fondly, while people will speak warmly about Chris Bernau and Tom O'Rourke. The best Elvera could do was mention he flirted with her mother during a set visit.
