Could do without Frankel and Jenner.

I’d like them to have a host.

I can’t help but feel bitter knowing that the Daytime Emmys completely ignored paying tribute to the greatest actress who has ever graced the soap opera genre – Beverlee McKinsey.

Maybe Ms. McKinsey will be remembered this year. I don’t remember a memorial tribute on every Daytime Emmy telecast. Have they done one every year? I remember Ms. McKinsey as Iris on Another World. Did not watch her on CBS (Guiding Light?) Also from Another World, Jacky Courtney is gone too. Maybe she will be remembered if she has already been.

Why does Betty White have to be everywhere? She’s like the Ryan Seacrest of TV these days.. ANNOYING!

Guest

Joshua

Bite your tongue!!! Betty White may be all over the place, I give you that. But she isn’t 1/10 as annoying as that in-the-closet, overtanned nobody.

Guest

Ces

haha!! Okay, okay… the lady needs to follow Barbara Walters and hang it up already though!

Guest

Why should she “hang it up” when it is something she loves doing and has done for years? Just because someone is older in age does not mean they should stop living. Look at legends like Jeanne Cooper, 84-years-old and she worked until she could no longer physically go on. I think it is very ignorant to be agist and insist elderly men and women should retire from something they love and are good at just because of their age.

Guest

Ces

Well, Jeanne Cooper was on one show and Betty White is all over the place. It’s not ignorant & I don’t appreciate being called names on here since I didn’t attack YOU personally, now did I? It’s called too much of one person splashed all over the place and it is annoying! Kind of like a movie star that makes 20 movies a year — that gets old too.. OR the Kardashians all over the frigging place. Too much of anyone is annoying. It’s my opinion & I’m entitled to it and sticking to IT!

Guest

Nikki

How is she “all over the place”? She has one show that she is on and she is presenting at the Emmys, which isn’t a stretch since she was on Bold & the Beautiful. I didn’t call YOU ignorant, I said it is ignorant to be ageist, which you appear to be from your comments. I understand that is your opinion and that is very unfortunate and I feel badly for you.

Keep up the good work, Betty White! You are an inspiration to a lot of people…just not ALL people! (smile) Sounds like this detractor is a good candidate to get spoofed on “Off Their Rockers”! LOL!!!!!!!!!

Guest

I think it sounds great thus far, and I am thrilled that HLN will broadcast it. Clearly on this channel, it will be based more on content than fluff advertisements as in recent years past. I look forward to tuning in!!!

I guess I’m old school, but I am more interested in hearing what soap opera stars are going to be presenting. If they need these other people to help bring in ratings and keep it on the air, I can live with it, but none of those stars outshine my daytime TV stars.

Guest

Harlee

Me too Rodd….it’s sad & shameful when talk shows are built around the daytime Emmys because there are more of those damn talk shows now then soaps….depressing…

Guest

Liza

The only part that I want to see is the Jeanne Cooper tribute so I hope someone puts it on YouTube because I will not watch the Daytime Emmys anymore. The show hasn’t been any good since they stopped showing clips of the soap actor nominees. I don’t watch any game or daytime talk shows so I’m not interested in the rest of it.

Mark Consuelos Exits ‘Riverdale’

October 7, 2021

Last night, All My Children alum, Mark Consuelos (Ex-Mateo Santos) made what appears to be his final appearance for now on CW’s soapy drama, Riverdale.

Consuelos departed Riverdale as a series regular on the season 5 finale, after coming on to the show in its second season in the role of villain, Hiram Lodge.

Riverdale executive producer and showrunner, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, shared with Deadline a statement on Consuelos contribution and run on the series: “From the moment Mark joined us, he was up for literally anything, a hundred percent committed to making Archie’s life a living hell. And what’s funny is, Mark couldn’t be more different from Hiram. A classy pro and the sweetest guy, always looking out for everyone. We wish Mark the best and hope this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Hiram Lodge.

Consuelos offered up these sentiments in a statement on his Riverdale exit: “First and foremost, I would like to thank Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa for this incredible opportunity. Never before has playing a character that was so bad, felt so good. Huge thanks to the Riverdale fandom, to the brilliant crew and amazing cast, whom I consider dear friends and family.”

So, will you miss seeing Mark on Riverdale? Elsewhere, still no word on the “Pine Valley” reboot in which Mark and wife, Kelly Ripa, are two of the executive producers of that many All My Children fans were hoping would come to fruition. Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Beloved Soap Stars Left Out of 2021 Primetime Emmy Broadcast In-Memoriam Tribute

September 20, 2021

Last night, during the presentation of the 73rd annual Primetime Emmys broadcast on CBS, the annual In-Memoriam segment brought with it so many households names in a year that saw so many legacy talents and more pass away.

The tribute was performed by Leon Bridges and Jon Batiste to Bridge’s song, “River”, and as the images of the departed played across the screens from Cloris Leachman to Cicely Tyson, to Ed Asner to Michael K. Williams, and more, it was clear that several of the major late daytime soap stars were not included in the on-air tribute as well as other omissions.

Now granted, we know they will all be a part of next year’s 49th annual Daytime Emmy Awards in-memoriam segment, but still these actors were a part of this community and not only appeared on the soaps, but other shows as well.

Those that daytime fans noticed were not included were: Michael Nader (Ex-Dex Dexter and Dimitri Marick, Dynasty and All My Children) Stuart Damon (Ex-Alan Quartermaine, General Hospital), Ray MacDonnell (Ex-Joe Martin, All My Children) and Jay Pickett (Ex-Frank Scanlon, Port Charles).

From primetime MIA action were: Michael Constantine (Ex-Room 222), Tanya Roberts (Ex-Charlie’s Angeles), Director, Richard Donner, writer Larry McMurty, and DMX, to name but a few.

However, the Television Academy did list all of its members who died on their website in the In-Memoriam section, because due to time constraints, they could not possibly showcase everyone.

What do you feel about the omissions of Nader, Damon, MacDonnell, Pickett, and more from the In-Memoriam tribute? Let us know in the comment section, but first watch the segment.
