So what happens now?

it would have been nice at radio city in ny but we all know that is not going to happen just wishful thinking my two favorite soaps gone this year rip

A few overly long paragraphs….all for Jim aka Messiah Jim Who Will Save All Soaps to say, “We’ve milked this as much as we can, and now you’re toast.”

ATI did a poor job producing these awards anyway. Last years salute to Vegas was a mockery and after seeing that I would rather the awards not be held at all if they were involved again. They should try the more intimate setting and just broadcast it online.

I hope anything network will step up and let the fans get what they want to see their favorite soap operas wn the awards they deserve and see their favorite actors and actresses get their awards . It’s not fair to take this away from us.

I would like to see them on tv..for the nielson ratings, however iwould watch them on the web or cable …

While the company deserves credit for keeping the Daytime Emmys on television for the past two years, I don’t think they deserve any kudos for the quality of what they presented. The last two ceremonies, which were in Las Vegas and produced by this company, were nothing more than long infomercials for Sin City. We had to suffer through lengthy bits promoting Vegas shows while the actual honorees received little to no time on the air. The shows didn’t even show a clip from the nominated actors.

Last year’s show was universally panned by critics. This site, in fact, even linked to a scathing review in the Los Angeles Times.

If the choice is either (a) allowing this company to continue to produce a network televised Daytime Emmy ceremony, filled with long bits with the likes of Donny & Marie and Elvis impersonators while Erika Slezak is not even mentioned; or (b) a small ceremony that is not broadcast but dumps the shilling for irrelevant ventures and honors daytime, I’ll take option “b” everytime.

I don’t want to sound ungrateful to this company for keeping the show on the air for the past two years or imply that it did not try. (I think they actually did). However, the quality of the show under their helm was so godawful, that I don’t view this news as bad!!!

I really haven’t been happy with the daytime emmy’s in a few years and now that One Life and AMC are gone, it’s not going to bother me not seeing it. I would have liked to see their One Life tribute but knowing them it would be a minor thing. I still think there should be some sort of an award cermony for the current daytime players because they all deserve emmy’s but i don’t need to sit through a three hour thing that combines daytime awards with junk just to fill time.

I would like CBS to continue with the plan to televise, the last 3 years the emmys have been poorly produced at best. Someone should pick up the project and pay tribute to this genre in the respectable fashion it deserves. What else must we boycott to get the message accross to these idiots? just sayin!!!!!!

I say Let BET produce the show!

Three paragraphs to basically say “Yeah. We didn’t wanna do it anymore. Bye.”

I still want them televised. Only award show I watch. I want nomination clips back, though!!!

If the Daytime Emmys will not be broadcast either on television or the internet, then OLTL is sure to cleanup and none of us will get to enjoy it. Come on, it has to be broadcast by someone, even if it is only on the internet. ANYTHING can be broadcast or recorded for the internet these days. Everyone from OLTL and AMC deserves one last Emmy broadcast (then it won’t happen for sure). Besides, they have Emmys for talk shows and all of the other crap on daytime so networks will want publicity for their shows.

I can’t believe OLTL has been gone for 5 weeks! I can’t believe I miss it so much. It’s so weird that life doesn’t seem right without it. Nothing else makes up for it. I can’t get into the other soaps, and I will not watch Revenge. Everything else seems so boring in comparison.

i seriously doubt if there will be a daytime emmy show this year…….

I appreciate that ATI saved the Daytime Emmys but the show itself was the result of a Faustian deal that gave us something no one wanted in the end, save the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau!

There is a place for a quality awards ceremony and program. Daytime is important to the webs — even if ABC sees it from a different angle — and I would think some broadcast or cable entity would embrace this awards program. We just may have to enjoy them online.

Frons must have had his hand in this. I used to think Frons was the fall guy.
But I think he pitched the idea to TPTB to cancel anything soap related!!!!

last years emmys was a three ring circus ,it was the worst of all the daytime emmys that I watched ,also they spent to much time on b&b and Y&r,and the other soaps didnt matter,and being a abc soap fan I did not like what I saw ,I believe all the soaps should get equal time ,and not the 2 that are on that network CBS that was airing the show,and those las vegas numbers ,what an insult to the soap fans ,the whole thing was stupid,cheep,and boring.so who ever is in charge this year I hope they bring some class to the emmys ,thats if anyone will even take it for us to view,I know that if the soaps go ,theres no need to watch it anymore,but the rest of the show goes to thoses dumb talk shows ,and I cant put up with that ,who cares what host gets awarded with the ,who is the biggest blabber mouth of them all.If the soaps are gone ,you have to wonder who will tune in to see it,I wont.who wants to see katie couric get an undeserved emmy.they use to be fun to watch ,you kept your fingers crossed and hoped your soap would win.now its two hours filled with crap.and another thing ,I didnt like the way the emmys ignored all my children and one life to live .they were snubbed.at least I think they were.and if one life to live doesnt win any awards for the writing, the cast ,the best soap ,maybe its fixed .or the people who vote dont really watch any of the soaps.It will be interesting to see what will happen ,if we get to see it.

The actors and actress deserve to have this award show they work just as hard or if not harder than the actors that are in prime time. I hope we get to see the Daytime Emmy’s .

The past three years have gone from bad to worse so, no great loss in my opinion. I hope someone who will show the industry true respect will step up.

Soap Fans if you want to see want the Daytime Emmys use to be google Victoria Wyndham and watch her daytime tribute to the late Douglas Watson that is what the soaps use to be about and this Lady deserved an emmy!!!

Given the demise of two, no three soaps, ATWT,AMC,OLTL, it is only smart to consider,whatever type of honoring program, to take a look at producing it in a new format. Daytime, or Soaps, as we know are dying, because they don’t make money anymore, and they cost too much, to produce, and the networks have run scared, a abandoned the talented actors in this profession. This is probably, perhaps the last opportunity to honor these shows, someone should be brave enough to put their money where their mouth is and pay for it The Golden Globes Dinner format sounds good, and it can be tape delayed, or shown only on the internet, or a cable, or even pay per view, I would shell out fifty bucks to watch the telecast live or tape delayed.
