Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 18 Author Members Share Posted March 18 I have two Daytime Emmy things that I'd like to run by you, sort of a pre-emptive move. Cady McClain has won 3 Daytime Emmys for 3 different roles, on 3 different shows, on 3 different networks. I think it is singular. Maura West & Michael Park won Best Actress & Best Actor the same year, playing the ATWT pairing known as "Carjack". I think this also is singular. Who here can bust this?!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 22 Author Members Share Posted March 22 So Erica's abortion was an illegal one, right? I am so sorry for the confusion. I have relied on you twice. Because I know you were the poster who originally told me *off the top of your head* that yes she did have an abortion & that you thought it was 1970-71. When you posted before having refreshed your knowledge I just read you wrong. But you must have thought I'd lost my mind for sure. I apologize. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted March 22 Members Share Posted March 22 For Actresses, yes, but Justin Deas already accomplished that feat before. And technically, Ellen Wheeler has won 3 different Daytime Emmy’s for 3 different categories. Younger Actress for Vicky/Marley on AW, Supporting Actress for Cindy on AMC, and as EP of GL when they won Outstanding Drama Series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 22 Author Members Share Posted March 22 (edited) Love these! Now off to look up Deas. 3 Emmies, 3 different shows, 3 different characters but not 3 different networks! GL/CBS ATWT/CBS SB/NBC He lacks ABC. But, 8 Emmies my god.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 22 Author Members Share Posted March 22 And, this is what Wikipedia currently says about it: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Erica_Kane In a topical 1973 storyline, Erica aborts the baby she conceives with her first husband, Jeff Martin (Charles Frank). This is the first legal abortion aired on American television since the landmark Supreme Court Roe v. Wade ruling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted March 22 Members Share Posted March 22 (edited) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erica_Kane she conceives with her first husband, Jeff Martin (Charles Frank). This is the first legal abortion aired on American television since the landmark Supreme Court Roe v. Wade ruling So that wikipedia statement was based on the WRONG DATE of 1973 for her abortion. Wikipedia cites these sources, so one or both of them gave the wrong information: Warner, Gary (1994). All My Children: The Complete Family Scrapbook. Santa Monica, California: General Publishing Group. pp. 15–119. ISBN 1-881649-45-8. AND Simon, Ron; Thompson, Robert J.; Spence, Louise; Feuer, Jane (1997). Morton, Robert (ed.). Worlds Without End: The Art and History of the Soap Opera. New York, New York: Harry N Abrams. pp. 34–36. ISBN 0-8109-3997-5. There have been other wrong statements elsewhere; with the correct date of 1970-71, but incorrectly described as WRONG LOCATION of New York, where it became legal in 1970. So the CORRECT INFO is that Erica's abortion occurred in Pennsylvania in 1970-71, when and where it was still illegal. Per the wikipedia "Maude" page primetime series Maude had a legal abortion set in New York in 1972, and cites this source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Issue Date: Wednesday, August 22, 1973 https://post-gazette.newspapers.com/newspage/90067087/ Edited March 22 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 22 Author Members Share Posted March 22 I am so glad you have joined us here in this topic! Both Wikipedia & IMDb are rife with errors. I suspect that some of the "wiki" fandoms, etc. have mistakes as well! And as far as I can tell, it is only fans who care! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 31 Author Members Share Posted March 31 In Carolyn Hinsey's book "Afternoon Delight" she says that GL found out it was canceled in March. GL got the announcement on April Fools' Day, 4-1-2009. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
