That whole Game Over episode was (used to be?) on YouTube. I wish I could find it. The Nola and Kelly stuff is worth the price of admission, but there's also the moment when Bea and Tony have had it with Nola and at the very end, the unsinkable Miss R. starts plotting her comeback.

Thank you. This is what I wanted to know.

Daytime Academy voting members don't seem to take to nuance and subtlety. It's why Kathryn Hays never got won or got a nomination. Soap voters favor the sturm und drang more than anything else.

Beautifully stated.

I am not sure many soap viewers appreciated this element. Like I stated before, often times about actors that employed a subtler style, which, dramatically, is more difficult to do. One of my acting instructors once said that anyone could get angry and explode on stage, anger was a far more accessible emotion and therefore easier to display than say, despair or indifference, anticipation, dread or ambivalence...those are very real emotions too. Of course, rarely did those snag Daytime Emmy awards.

Just as you mentioned with certain scenes, I remember that break up scene because it had such dramatic range for both actors and Brown truly shined in all her nuanced skill-set. That full sequence probably hasn't been seen since it aired, I know I haven't seen that full sequence since it first aired in real-time but I remember it to this day.

Ironically the episode Lisa submitted was released on DVD.

It was treasure to watch Lisa play two iconic characters on two of my favorite shows. 

As crappy as the Emmys have gotten it would be a nice treat to see the  ATWT and GL cast reunite one last time to honor Lisa Brown. I know it will never happen but it sure would be great to see.

She was one of those soap performers that I knew about even if I didn’t watch GL or ATWT when she was a main character.  Obviously Marland knew how to use her talents.

Truly sad news.  What I have seen thanks to the internet has been so awesome, especially Nola.  She is really good as Iva too, it’s just as other posters have said, she so rarely got to have long lasting joy or any fun.

This is an old story, but I still thought it was a nice moment. When Aretha Franklin was shooting a video for Everyday People, she put out notices inviting soap actors to participate. Most either didn't care or didn't think it was real, so Lisa was the only one who went. She has two short but memorable shots - playing with a bowler hat, and blowing a bubble.

That's because we'd spent like two years invested in them before "cute little Ellie" slid under him and Marland blew them up. And as I remember it, there was no real angst---Kirk barely seemed to care who he was sleeping with. Yes...still salty.

    • Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving. 
    • I really like the actress who plays Margo. Don't know  her name. I'm so hesitant to google anyone because I don't want to know the length they were on the show. I've watched two episodes and I have to say that the show does not feel as dated as other shows. I tried to watch Ryan's Hope a few weeks back and some of the acting was a bit rough. EON is a lot more natural which amuses me considering it's a mystery/thriller show.
    • She’s INCREDIBLE. I’m so glad you enjoyed this my friend.
    • I loved SOAP OPERA NOW because they  did detailed analysis of the ratings.
    • I love MKA and feel like they never used her to her full potential with India. The character seemed to exist merely to fight with Alex and blackmail men into marrying/sleeping with her. As if! Then adopting an orphan right out of Little Orphan Annie...somebody BTS didn't like her, I think.
    • I mean...Sarah Michelle Gellar did go on to be a household name and food guru. I can see Ambyr doing the same with the same talent.  Amen.
    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.
