So, what did you think of the night’s big winners from the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards? Let us know in the comment section below.
It’s great that CBS broadcasts the awards. I thought the awards were fast-paced, but needed more star power on stage with the presenters. There were so many extraordinary talents in attendance. I would have liked to have seen Finola, Maura and Cynthia present an award. I saw Gio attending the awards and would have been nice to see him present an award with Joss and Trina. From B&B, Katherine Kelly Lang, Don Diamond and John McCook from Y&R, Tracey Bregman and Peter Bergman. The cameraman didn’t show the stars of DOOL too much, but seeing Robert Scott Wilson and Suzanne Rogers would have been a treat.
Yay Michelle Melody And Ed
So is DOOL being omitted because their on peacock. This is wrong.
Congratulations to Thorsten Kaye. I don’t watch B&B. I’m familiar with him from his other daytime roles. His daughter, McKenna, looks just like her mother, the wonderfully talented Susan Haskell.
I enjoyed the show. Loved the tribute to Melody Thomas Scott and her husband. I wished they’d show more of the actors/actresses in the audience. Everyone looked beautiful and handsome.
Ironic and sad that GH let go of the Emmy winning writing team of Dan and Chris. Who is really writing the show today anyway?
As of now, Elizabeth Korte is the sole head writer. Material with Patrick Mulcahey airs until mid-summer, per press announcements.
What’s “ironic” is that GH won. The show was unwatchable; the never-ending Nina bashing, Willow’s contempt for Nina for literally no reason while she “loved Carly dearly” it was two-years worth of an emotional abuse story of Nina. Then they wrote the back-to-back fatal illness stories; one depressing, tragic, journey after another of someone having to deal with the fact that they’re dying, a journey the viewer had to go on hoping that the character had been misdiagnosed. And let’s not forget Sasha and Brando’s brain dead baby, then Sasha losing Brando. Escapism Gh was not.
As for the new writer Mulcahey? I think they made a big mistake letting him go. Though way too many changes both in characters, and career changes of the characters, attitude toward Sonny was ridiculously all at once and out-of-the-blue, the stories have gotten better, more characters are featured rather than all-Carly-all-the-time, Diane and Alexis got their banter back, Michael Easton FINALLY got to show his acting chops and has a story instead of picking up the pieces of Elizabeth’s life…Cody and Sasha seem to be moving forward, Gregory and Tracy were written beauifully, and chances are we still would have had Gregory the character and the actor if the death squad of Dan and Chris didn’t give him their latest fatal illness.
I didn’t watch the Emmys but I’m shocked that GH won.
I too was shocked at all the GH wins. The pace is slower than a sloth after mating day. Sweep-month excitement over great stories and mini-disastrous drama is now a thing of the past. Great Sweeps months Feb May & Nov are basically non-existent. I cannot even remember what happened in February – in May the only big thing – Gregory died.
The Cody/Mac DNA story has been going on for around 2 years (YES I KNOW MAC HAS BEEN OUT – but it should have been resolved way before that) – it seems any story arc starting today in 2024 the fans will have to expect it not to be resolved for 2 years (that’s 2026/2027)
Life is way too short to wait that long!!! We could all die before GH resolves a storyline these days.
Any couple being introduced takes so long – (the uber-slow burn of Cody and Sasha) which makes the audience lose interest. Brooklyn and Chase are nearly not as exciting today as they would have been a year ago. Many fans stated how bored they were with the nuptials. This has more to do with the back and forth of their 2-3 year relationship than it does with the couple. Those two broke up and got back together like a game of musical chairs.
So fans seem to want Dex to end up as Jason’s son – Jason might be gone in 2 years by the time the writing team gets around to it.
“Make em Wait” the old GH saying for writers – is not working anymore.
“The pace is slower than a sloth after mating day.” LOL! Agree with all your points and the hilarious way you put it. I needed that laugh. 😉
Very shocked at the GH writing win. Interestingly, GH has not won in 15 years and the year that was predominantly filled with replacement writers won.
Hmmm – I’d be kind of mad if I was one of those replacement writers not getting an award.
This was from material written last year and non-union writers don’t get nominated for Emmy’s.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.
Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
