I am for Robert S Wood to Win And I love all these guys that are up for the emmy but Robert is my favorite because he was on my favorite soap and he is a hell of a good actor that deserves the win, I can’t believe there are 4 guys that I like in the best actor series. Robert S Woods for the win.

Totally 100% with you Barbara too be honest I am TG fatigued out but everyone is predicting TG has it sowed up! TG has been deserving some years and some not the year Grant Alexander was up for GL TG won and I think he stole it GA was phenomenal that year it has become to political for my tastes .Robert Woods has a different style a suble style that makes you not realize how good he is plus he is the nicest guy off camera!!!!

I love Robert he is one of my favorites from One life to live he is so genuine, down to earth, And one of day times best actors, I miss him, would love to see Bo and Nora do a few dances, then sit down and eat some junk food discussing what ever is happening with their family or what is going on in Landview. I loved them as a couple. That’s the one thing there was on one life to live happy families and couples that loved each other, I hope that our Visitors from landview can help the citizens of Port Charles learn how to truly love because one life to live was always above everything else, all about family.

Well Barbara you will really like this one a friend of mine who is a GH junky said Tony Geary should not be in lead actor he should be in supporting because he is gone so much, she thinks JJackson should have been lead because he carried more story then any of the other GH actors, in other words she thinks JJ and TG shoul have been reversed but she wants RWoods to win. I can’t watch it so you guys cheer them on and I am praying RHearst gets it for GH.

Previous comment to above should and it is RHerbst Sorry!!!!!

This is a difficult choice. But I would hope Bob Woods could make it. I am always going to believe, though that Tony Geary is the best actor overall, because he seems to have all the tools to take the story and capture you along the way and you become invested. Good luck to one and all….

Dan

Anthony Geary for his record breaking 7th Emmy win.

David Canary’s Daughter Raises Question If Repeated Head Traumas From His Football Past Contributed To AMC Star’s Condition Before His Death

January 14, 2019

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive degenerative brain disease that is now widely known to be the outcome of repeated head traumas, concussions and more for many NFL athletes, Pro Wrestlers, hockey players and more It has caused mental illness, severe behavioral changes and more in younger athletes to even old-timers, many who suffer unaware what is happening to them. Some athletes who have committed suicide have been later to have been diagnosed with CTE when their brains were donated to research.

Kate Canary, the daughter of All My Children’s beloved and late, David Canary (Adam/Stuart Chandler), is a contributing writer to the New York Daily News, and she wrote a heartfelt, and thought-provoking article, on just what happened to this icon, who died in 2015 at the age of 77 with his formal diagnosis being Alzheimer’s disease.

However, David’s earlier football past as a high school and college football player could very well been the reason why he suffered so many years before, and as Kate related here in these excerpts: “But this diagnosis came after years of suffering with Dad’s cognitive decline, and arguably decades of signs. Without exposing the most excruciating details of a disease that could extinguish the most vibrant of men, I can confess that his case was anything but typical. We lost him in fits and starts, over and over, for roughly seven years leading up to his final breath. Begrudgingly, we learned to lie to him — ‘entering his world,’ as my brother Chris so delicately deemed it — to skirt the contradictory truths that would trigger his outbursts, which left physical scars on objects, on himself, and on others. We knew many families who had faced Alzheimer’s, yet we were the only ones uttering the comparison ‘Jekyll and Hyde. Those closest to Dad witnessed firsthand the erratic, delusional and at times explosive episodes that characterized his particular case, which we tried attributing to an overactive imagination in a broken brain. But as more information emerges about CTE and the nature of its symptoms — the violent mood swings, the lapses in judgment, the hours-long hallucinations, the paranoid delusions — we are left with more questions than answers, more regret than relief.”

Kate goes on to state the facts that David Canary suffered at least four major concussions as a lineman in his high school and college football playing days between the ages of 16 and 22, (she also relates that those are the ones he remembered). She also notes the multi-Daytime Emmy winning star has experienced cognitive difficulties decades before his Alzheimer’s diagnosis, and that there was no genetic lineage that the family knew of that would you would often find with Alzheimer’s patients. She also noted that David’s volatility was unusual for a patient suffering from this disease, which leads us all back to CTE.

In the end a loving daughter asks the questions, “Did football kill my father?” Kate was on the verge of looking into a way to donate David’s brain to science, but sadly he passed away eight weeks later in November of 2015.

The upshot is that when mothers and fathers allow their kids to play football or other-related sports at an early age were concussions are a possibly or involved, think again, you could be changing the course of their lives forever.

So, what did you think of what Kate shared about David Canary’s mental health and condition? It would seem CTE could have been the root cause of what befell this giant of a man in the daytime soap world. Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
