One Life to Live should win this category unfortunatly,the best soap wasn’t even nominated 🙁
You’re right about that.
OLTL screwed again!
I agree with you 100%…………………..
yes! that omission makes me ill. And it’s not like they left both cancelled series off the list… just One Life to Live. Why? I can’t predict GH, love it now more than the last several years, but no, not as a winner for last year, that’s for sure! I’m sure All My Children, like One Life to Live, gave greater performances when they found out they were going to cancelled – to give their all to the very end. It would be nice if there was a very special tribute to both soaps and their decades of “service” to… Read more »
Christy, I watch hln every night, Nancy grace and Jane and for the 2 hours I watch they are advertizing about the soaps being on they do it a lot and they say there will be something special done for One life to live and all my children , Their doing a lot of advertizing so that’s good. We are going to see a special tribute to our beloved soaps. And I agree that one life to live should be in the best drama and best writing series, makes no sense they were left out. In my heart they won… Read more »
I think everyone knows that…..and any show that goes up and accepts the award should have a sense of a hollow victory, since the best show was not nominated. Not only did they rob OLTL of the Outstanding Drama Series nom, but also for the Writing…..and in my opinion too many actors were overlooked too. This Emmy nomination list is a big joke, but aren’t they usually? OLTL is overlooked year after year….but I think this time the sting is even bigger, because it was the last chance for OLTL to get the props that is so rightfully deserves.
I didn’t read above that One Life to Live was in the running for Outstanding Drama Series. So, my vote is for All My Children, which ended wonderfully creative. General Hospital is outstanding these days, but it was been along time coming, and didn’t start really getting good until the end of March. I’m going for All My Children if OneLife isn’t in the running. IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE SUSAN LUCCI, TAKE HOME HER FINAL ‘Outstanding Lead Actress” for the role. But I don’t even think she was nominated. Oh well, wishful thinking, and nothing wrong with dreaming.… Read more »
Go all the way Erika Slezak for lead actress !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My loyality goes with OLTL !!!!!!!!! My favorite soap of all time.. It rates #1 in my book……….And anyone else that is nominated for OLTL………………………………………………………………
I hope Erika Slezak wins to, that will be so nice to see her win her 7th for our One life to live.
Erika Slezak is a great person & actress! She’s a team player who never takes all the credit like Susan Lucci always did on AMC!
I agree with you…comment on 5/13 at 9:04am……Susan Lucci is a bit full of herself…Erika is very humble & modest…..She didn’t try to over shadow the other actors on OLTL…..She is very special(E. Slezak)……….Great all around person….Down to earth…That’s my impression of her…….Oh & caring….
To TPTB, Dr. David Haywood PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz !!!!
Is he nominated??????? I don’t remember seeing his name…He played a different charcter in this movie I saw it is called Lying Eyes…..He plays a married lawyer who likes to pick up high school senior cheerleaders………….He’s a peace of work in this movie…I think it’a LMN movie.. I bought it years ago…Not bad…….
Wow, I never saw that, I should look that up, I would love to see him in a movie even if it’s creepy. I don’t think 1loveabcsoaps is calling for Dr’ David Hayward to win, 1loveabcsoaps wants our Doctor to show up in POrt charles, I agree would love for him to be a doctor at general hospital. Yeah, I think he is that good and he was along with Adam/Stuart my favorite on all my children. In my eyes he could do no wrong he was misunderstood.
I can’t pick just one, before I go on I will say that One life to live would have been my first choice but those idiots who vote for best drama don’t know a good soap when they see it, One life to live, If I was in charge of the emmys you most definitely would be the winner, best actress erika Slezak you win for playing my beloved Vicke for 40 years, you are a great if not the greatest actress. I want All my children or General hospital to win, All my children left us with a bang,… Read more »
Anyone but GH!
Would love for Y&R to win but don’t like their submission, the christmas vintage should give them points but I’m gonna go with AMC since they are off the air!
Young and the Restless by far. The soap consistenly on top of all the others.
Your wrong this time .
As a Days fan I would like to see them win all 15 that they were nominated for, but if history is any indication, they’ll be denied :-(. I just hope that Chandler Massey wins for Younger Actor.
LOL. That’s too good to be true…. DAYS is red carpetting with their first ever 15 emmy nods! Woo Hoo! only, another tried and true forever fan of days. thru the good and the bad. the thing is… i can actually see them deserving to win this year. OK… “all my children”… in paying homage to a dearly departed classic. General Hospital…as of late… is back on fire. Y&R? I don’t think so. So… that leaves DAYS. OK… like the rest of the soaps… has it’s patchy bad spots. so, based on what soaps are left. 4. i’ll get flack… Read more »
If “Y & R” wins ANY major award, GOD HELP US ALL!!
The show is a complete and utter MESS!! The last thing Maria Arena Bell needs to fill that giant right-wing ego of hers is a frickin’ EMMY AWARD!!
I loved All MY Children, was very sad when it went off the air, and was a loyal fan for over 35 years, but to be honest, in recent years, the storylines were just not what they used to be, so as much as I would love to see them win, for sentimental reasons, in my opinion, it is not technically deserved. One Life to Live on the other hand, had some of their best storylines in the year prior to cancellation, and I did not fast forward through ANY scenes, but sadly and WRONGLY, they were not even nominated.… Read more »
I have to share some sentiments… Tribute and Salute to AMC… Mona Kane Tyler… (Frances Heflin). Erica’s Mother… These two sparkled on screen.
Mona, it would seem… spent most of her time… bringing her daughter back down to earth. beloved… Erica loved and needed her mother… for so many reasons. it was such a treat to see 3 generations of Kane women… in the beginning… Mona/Erica/Bianca…. course… Kendall came on the show later. Then we had Erica/Biance & Kendall/and their kids.
Gosh! what a time when Mona was on….
kudos… to Palmer/Langly/Myrtle/Phoebe…
I have to mention one more family…. that i just loved…. Ellen Dalton… when she was married to Ross Chandler… and their daughter Julie Chandler…
ie: she was also involved with, for a time… Erica’s brother Mark. Geez! these people could act!
course, we could all go on and on.
Beautifully said, I do miss All my children and all of our beloved characters.
Erika Slezak (best actress )…………..Robert Woods……All catagories for OLTL to WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OLTL got ripped-off on best daytime drama……And in other catagories also….Who decides who is in or out ??????? getting nominated …….I mean………..They have lousy taste excluding OLTL ot of outstanding drama !!!!!!!!
I am with you on this award show, Let One life to live win every emmy. They do have lousy taste in outstanding drama and don’t forget they aren’t on the best writing either, SAD.
My heart belongs to OLTL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s where my heart is to.
MICHAEL – if One Life to Live had been in the running, would you still have picked GH to win?
Of all the interviews I have read that Michael has done, Imo, I would say that he would have picked One life to live. I could be wrong but I don’t think so.
I just hope Rebecca Herbst takes it home for Supporting Actress that is the only one I truly care about, OLTL would have had it in the bag but I am told they put the reel in for FRow but I do not know for sure.
Unfortuntately, the best soap wasn’t nominated so I don’t have a horse in this race. Since there are so few soaps I think putting them all up for contention for the award would have been an appropriate and an even kind gesture. It’s sad what has happened to our beloved genre.
Days of Our Lives should win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OLTL FOREVER!!! Take GH off the air and put OLTL back on!!!!
AGREED. OLTL was so superior. How can we even comment on the nominations–as unfair as the cancellations? Go Erika and Robert.
Y&R all the way; it’s the best soap on the air, hands down.
AMC best drama, Debbie Morgan Best Actress!
Debbie Morgan…. Thank you MF… for the excellent interview. Formidable, tough as Nails… stood up for herself. No holds barred… acted your heart out. From the start… you hit home runs… your last year… it was gut-wrenching stuff to watch. I sobbed, when Jessie told you your baby died. You brought Dr. David Hayward, a humanity, we, as fans, ached for…. you and David, were top notch…at your game… Superlative, best describes your abilities. You deserve to win best actress, this year. i hope yo do. Thank you Erika Slezak… nominated, should be enough… as you’ve won many. This is,… Read more »
Days of our Lives! Toast to the Hour glass! Thank you Alice Horton…. Days “time” square… resonates with your presence, and your husband Tom.
OLTL would have been my choice, but, as others have said, it was wrongfully excluded from the category. However, I do think that GH will win for their much-acclaimed intervention episode. The previous regime knew how to do one or two outstanding segments a year (unfortunately, the rest was usually monotonous drivel).
Any show but Young and Restless. MAB and her hatchett team have total destroyed this once great show. She needs to be FIRED!!!!!!!!!

Carol Burnett On Her 90th Birthday Recalls Agnes Nixon Offering Her the Role of All My Children’s Verla Grubbs
Last night on her 90th birthday, comedy legend Carol Burnett was honored during the NBC TV special, Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love. Today, April 27th,the extended cut is available to stream on Peacock.
In an interview on her career with Vulture, Burnett discussed how she eventually wound up playing the role of Verla Grubbs on her favorite soap opera, All My Children.Burnett, first played the role in 1983.

As many know, Carol was a professed longtime fan of Pine Valley, and over the years, many wondered if she asked for a role on the show and thus reached out to its legendary creator, Agnes Nixon.
Burnett revealed: “I didn’t have to. She volunteered. When I did questions and answers at the top of my show, I often talked about All My Children with the audience. I’d say, ‘Oh, I didn’t see it today. What happened?’ Because my lunch hour was built around watching All My Children. Agnes knew that, and she called and said, ‘Would you like it if I wrote a character for you?’ I said, ‘Absolutely!’ So on my hiatus, I flew back to New York and they had a whole story line for me. I was on it for two weeks, and I got to know Susan Lucci. Oh, and Susan is on the 90th! She flew out and I was thrilled. But soap operas are the hardest work, because, oh my God, you get 19 pages at night, you have to study the lines, and then you go do it in the morning. I really admire soap-opera actors, how they pull it off.”

The character of Verla Grubbs (the daughter of Langley Wallingford) appeared on AMC several times in 1983, 1995, 2005 and 2011.
Check out Burnett as Verla below.
Now let us know if you admire Carol’s appreciation of the art form of the soaps, and if you loved her during her time on All My Children in the comment section below.
