Well .. hmmm ?

Jessica Collins/Avery / Y&R..
was very good..

My bitching of it-
Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series;
Not one from GH.. GH has a very powerful cast, the best of best..
I would have thought someone from GH would have been nominated..

Just on of other reasons I have always seen the daytime emmy’s as a waste of time, bunk..

LINSEY!!!!

Jessica Collins gets my vote!

This category is probably the worst of them all. The ladies selected by the members of the academy who vote were so poorly chosen. Of the candidates I’m forced to deal with I will have to go with Melissa Reeves. This was the scene we had been waiting for — for MONTHS — and she delivered. The anger, the disgust and the pain she felt were perfectly delivered. Melissa Reeves has coasted through this role for such a long time that she has become routine but here she shone like a diamond. All the other ladies over reached. Lauralee Bell? She is such a horrible actress. She knows one emotion. Anger. That’s it. In a love scene, she’s scowling. In a hospital room she’s scowling. In a country club she’s scowling. Just bad acting all the way around. Lindsay Godfrey was okay but the writing on B&B kills the emotion. They don’t let the impact hit cause they are always REACHING for a manipulated emotion. Peggy McCay? I seriously throw my hands up on this lady. She is awful. Her ridiculous story and her canned emotions. She is just painful to watch. How she gets nominated is a mystery. There are so many other actresses worthy of that nomination and they were ignored. I don’t know maybe perhaps a check is being written? I just don’t get it. Jessica Collins is a solid actress. She did a great job as Avery on Y&R but I am not feeling her. So with some hesitation and confusion I give it to Melissa Reeves. The only sincerely acted delivery. On to the main categories.

Mateo : Thank you for couldn’t have said it better myself”

“… Melissa Reeves has COASTED through this role for such a long time that she has become routine but here she shone like a diamond. ”

I’ve posted before… that she owes her resurgence… to Kassie DePiava

i’ll leave well enough alone… i’m hoping… for a good return… to see if ; Melissa Reeves can truly deliver… ie: her dependence on prescription PAIN killers should be any time now… just how hopped shes spinning and twirling

RIGHT ON, MATEO!!!!! To me, this category itself (for this time around, anyway) is such an EMBARRASSMENT!!!!!! Y-U-C-K!!!!!

Later.

These are mostly worthy nominees, though Ms. Bell is a monotonous actress for me. Jessica Collins, however, was absolutely stunning this year, particularly in her scenes with Scott Elrod (Joe Clark…another good character treated poorly like Austin & Courtney, et al). When she confronted him with her accusations, it was literally breathtaking. The Emmy would be a great send off gift for her…and might even leave open a return?

I said Melissa Reeves who did an outstanding job in these scenes!

Often it is the subject matter that wins the category and for that reason alone I think Ms. Bell might have a shot. Also her scene partner was strong which helps when viewing reels. If I was handing out the hardware I would give it to LG—scenes with a good mixture of tears, anger, vulnerability usually do well at awards time. Missy went the angry route, but I fear those over the top moments of her wrestling Eve might come off as too soapy for the Emmy Award. Of course sometimes the Academy members go sentimental and if they do Peggy has an outside chance. Jessica’s the dark horse, she is no longer on her soap and that might hurt her chances, but if the reel is strong enough that will not stop her from taking the category. So I don’t know who will get the award, but I do know I did enjoy all those performances when aired and seeing them again now.

Plain and simple “Linsey Godfrey. All the others we’re ok but she came through with fling colors. I don’t understand how they pick, who does the picking or how it is judged but Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea) from the Y & R should have had her reel put in this as Justin’s was where she confronts Justin Hartley in Victor’s office. Also was this not around the same time Camryn Grimes (Mariah) was trying to drive Sharon crazy? Where is her reel? Or Sharon Case (Sharon Newman) during the time she was talking at the graveyard? Really this is why I feel people don’t take these awards seriously. JMO.

“Oh, that Jennie Bear”

I read that endearment… on soapcentral.com…. I tried to research it…

I’m assuming… perhaps that was Jack Pet Name for his nearest and dearest

Oh it just tore at me some… how the disdain for this storyline… did not let up

“I was enthralled” and yes… it’s because… it’s the first time… I really GOT and became fascinated… with Ms. Kassie DePaiva… and i’ll go their… what’s not to love about Casey Moss

Kudos to the lovely True O’Brian… as Paige Donovan !

I am just delighted… that all those associated with this storyline… ARE NOMINATED

Jennie Bear gets a hug !

so… this story ROARED in the finale… and culminated in tour de force ACTING CHOPS REAL

Congrats to Melissa Reeves… she should be hopped up more than we know…

LOL… haven’t seen Jennifer in quite awhile…

Melissa Reeves for the win!! The character of Jennifer has been treated horribly by the past few regimes, with writers who did not understand or know how to write for the character. I loved her rage, and her disgust, and her hurt. When she smacked Eve, it was just great soap. I hope she wins, as she deserves it, and it would be a nice reward for her 32 years in daytime. I was also impressed with Lauralee’s reel. It was actually very sad, and stirred my emotions, which Y and R rarely does. Jessica is a pleasant actress, but Avery was an ill defined character that never really found her niche on the show. Lindsey is a capable actress, I just don’t get the character’s throughline or motivation, so it’s hard to invest in her. And Peggy, poor Peggy…I think that’s enough said.

Melissa Reeves has my vote too! This was one of the most memorable scenes of the year and expectations were high. She surpassed them! Hope she wins.

Days of our Lives Star, Greg Vaughan, Gives Health Update and Thanks Everyone for Their Support

Greg Vaughan (Eric, Days of our Lives, ex-Lucky, GH, and ex-Diego, Y&R) provided an update on his health on Sunday, March 17th. Vaughan had previously shared that he had become ill during a trip with his sons to Colorado, and had developed altitude sickness when he was having trouble breathing accompanied by terrible headaches and landed in the urgent care.

Now on St. Patrick’s Day, Greg took to his Instagram and shared how he is feeling now, and to thank everyone for their love and support.  As it turned out, Vaughan was diagnosed with high altitude pulmonary edema, commonly known as HAPE. However, he is on the mend slowly and surely.

In his new video post, the DAYS favorite started by expressing, “I just felt such an appreciation and gratitude for everything. . reaching out. Your prayers have been felt. It’s been a struggle, but I’m over the top. And, taking this moment just to say I didn’t realize the things that I was going through. My (original) post was simply just to educate, put some information out there and some things that I was feeling, just share that information and the struggle that I was going through, which I didn’t quite understand. And it wasn’t because I’m stubborn or just because I’m a father, a man, and didn’t want to go to a doctor. It is just something I thought was so minor that I could overcome it, just by taking care of myself.”

The Daytime Emmy winner then revealed his actual diagnosis, “So, basically my situation was high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). With some good friends, doctors that had reached out to me, it kind of gave me some understanding on the aftermath, which was very, very beneficial.”

“But I’ve been resting, taking care of myself even though I live in a hamster wheel,” said the dad of three teenaged boys. “I gotta get up and, you know, do my normal domesticated stuff, eventually. I’m tired of laying down in this bed, but, I am feeling much better.”

Talking on his confusion of trying to understand what could have been ailing him, Vaughan expressed, “I couldn’t quite figure it out, even though I was emphasizing and professing to my children going on our spring break getaway about hydration. I professed it. But, even though I was acting on it, it had a greater effect on me, and for which I did not even think, because my head was such in pain, and I was in a very bad state of mind – not being able to be out there with my kids on the mountain, enjoying their time, as well. I thought I was doing the right thing. Unfortunately, my lungs were full of fluids and my head was in severe pain and even migraine pills didn’t even help. So, I just want anybody that goes into the Colorado Mountains to know, it is no joke. It is this very serious thing which I guess is why they call it the Mile High City.”

Greg had a mountain of ‘thank you’s’ to give for the outreach he received from his original post, “For everybody internationally, wherever you are, I love you and I appreciate you and just the time and the thoughts that you’ve shared with me,” said Vaughan. “I didn’t realize that it would make such an impression on so many people around the world. I feel tremendously loved and I can’t say it enough. I’m good. And I appreciate you.”

The actor concluded his video with, “To all the family and friends that have reached out to me, man, it means the world. So take care of yourself, enjoy your spring break with your families. It’s Saint Patty’s Day, obviously. I wish I could be out there.” Vaughan added, “I feel loved and touched and I can’t emphasize that enough. I’ll take better care of myself, promise you will do the same.” Before he signed off, Greg shared, “Just know, that I’m alive and well and breathing, and I’m sore. So, be well, take care. I mean it. Thank you, tremendously.”

Glad to know that Greg has been on the mend, and shared his appreciation for everyone that reached out to him during this trying time? Comment below.

Days of our Lives Star Greg Vaughan Shares Sudden Health Scare: “I Truly Feel Like I Work & Live in a Soap Opera!”

What started out as an adventure with his sons, quickly turned into a nightmare for Days of our Lives Daytime Emmy winner, Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady).

In a series of Instagram posts, Vaughan shared the sudden health crisis he found himself in.  The images show Greg with an oxygen tank to help him breathe.

The actor began to fill people, sharing, “I’ve said more than a few times, I truly feel like I work & live in a Soap Opera! 🤪 this trip was nothing short of another great Vaughan adventure!”

He went on to say that on a father and son Colorado spring break trip, he began to feel shortness of breath, feeling tired and with a headache and after two days of hoping he would feel better, Vaughan finally went to an Urgent Care to get checked out.

“I finally surrendered & went to urgent care and to my shock I learned that I was experiencing severe altitude sickness.” Vaughan admitted. “My Blood Oxygen was at 54% & my lungs were full of fluids! Blood oxygen, also known as oxygen saturation, represents the percentage of hemoglobin in your red blood cells that is carrying oxygen. Most people have an oxygen level of 95-100%….”

Providing more detail to his health scare, Greg shared, “Well, 4hrs later, a couple of bags of IV & oxygen tank strapped to my face, I was told that I needed to immediately get off the mountain! However I couldn’t, we still had another day to go & wanting the boys to enjoy their last day on the hill tops! I opted to go home with an oxygen tank, a good laugh for everyone, and I know will follow, but my boys looked after their old man & fortunately they had friends on this trip!”

The experience of altitude sickness in the Colorado Rockies gave Vaughan a bit of a new perspective, “In all seriousness, no matter your age, and all the times I’ve ⛷️ & 🏂 in my lifetime, Colorado Rockies is no joke! As they say, ‘ take a breathe and smell the roses!’ That is truly something we need to remember & appreciate! #recover”

Share your well-wishes to Greg as he continues to be on the mend via the comment section below.
