What a weird message. She calls it a "huge misunderstanding" when the age rules are clear. She also says SHE'S rescinding her nomination, when that just isn't true. The nomination was pulled from her.

I'm not trying to pile on, but that cringe message doesn't help her.

I do also fault those in charge for not catching the age error before any voting took place for nominations.

Given these nominees, I don’t understand why they have a Younger performer category. Actors below the age of 21 haven’t been valued on soaps for years. Just get rid of the category entirely and let the best young actors (like NAC) compete with the adults.

That said, what a mess. 

I agree. Don’t they have some sort of verification process for these nominees? A photo ID or birth certificate? Lol. There couldn’t be more than 10 actors eligible, so I can’t imagine it would that daunting a process to confirm ages. Unless there’s some fraud involved…

I was getting the impression perhaps VG or her people were lying about her age?  I have no idea, but it's difficult to find her age online and her IMDB (I know-it's the internet) has projects listed for her as far back as 2003.  My apologies to Victoria if this was all a misunderstanding, but it does seem a bit suspect.

Yeah, I am not trying to be mean or create a scandal over this.  I like VG/Wendy just fine, but you would think in a category that had age limits there would be a place to fill out your birthdate and it would have to match an ID at some point.   I have no idea how the whole process works really, but pretty much everything you have to fill out in life asks for your birthdate lol.

Aren't they though?  I don't think it was anything sinister.  I just think maybe VG is older than the casting call for Wendy, she or her agent lied about her age, she got the job and no one cared, but then someone submitted her for the emmy in the "age" she said she was, and then she randomly got nominated and it got found out.  It's not an uncommon thing to do in Hollywood, but multiple people just bungled the process along the way and I don't expect the actual actress to know the evolving daytime emmy rules for this category.

    • I tend to stay out of EP discussions, simply because I rarely know who EPs when. And they all have their good and bad sides. But how are we supposed to judge JFP on anything other than what we see? I didn't know she was a director or a music director. (and unlike say, Chris Goutman, I never saw her credited as anything other than an EP) Specifically in the matter of casting Crampton, she took credit for it (or at Crampton gave her credit for it, whatever) and it was arguably, one of the worst recasts of the '90's (and either as bad or worse than the actress she fired).  She lost two important actresses in '92 and still decided to kill Maureen.  She had a wildly uneven tenure at GL. It's no wonder she's polarizing. But it kind of proves a point--great soap is always a that rare combination of everything clicking at the same time. 
    • A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders. 
    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.
