2010 Daytime Emmy Awards: A Review

Last night I was so excited.  It was Daytime Emmy night. I haven't watched GH for weeks (maybe months) I was still excited. I had twitter  set up. I was watching http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/ red carpet internet stream (thank you by the way) 

I told my estranged husband that I was watching the Daytime Emmy Awards and thats that. I was set. The only thing missing was my BBQ chips and orange soda.   I was so excited.  

I will start by saying while very few of the nominees I was rooting for won that doesn't' mean they were not deserving and it doesn't mean the people who won were also not worthy (I just didn't know any of them)   I am used to award shows in that matter betting an upset.  Not the reason I am so bitter.   

First lets start off by no Red Carpet coverage by ether SoapNet or CBS. Huge Fail.  Its one of the most exciting things that happen.  It gives some of the actors there only  chance to shine for a moment.  I am grateful that http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/ gave us an internet stream. Even with the tech difficulties I was grateful for the effort and realize this was something new for them. 

Remember last year when it was on The CW?  It was a bit too young and hip but you know what that was ok.  They tried and it was still the Emmys  The Emmy last night was a horrible.   I adore Dick Clark Love him, but to waste 20 minutes of the Daytime Emmy awards for a tribute. A tribute that was wasn't something most associate with Daytime.   The music guests was a horrible choice.  Its not that they are bad its just that it was like watching granny vision.  Actually it would have put most old people to sleep.  

If that was the only issue it would have been ok. Its is Dick Clark.    

Then we were given fillers of time for some Broadway shows shorts.  There was at least 3 maybe 4 (maybe more ) were also  'treated' to a tour of the Vegas hotel. Was this all a big joke?     Then when it came time for the awards.  The names of the nominees were said they were said too FAST. I am surprise the announcer didn't pass out from not breathing.   Then umm NO actor reels NONE.  We had a few QUICK clips for Best Soap t.  That was it.  These amazing actors are nominated and they were not honored in anyway.  We could have taken all that lame fluff of those Broadway numbers and given daytime the party it deserved.  This may be our last Emmy award broadcast. This will be our final memory.   

Oh I forgot ATWT was given a tribute. Thats good right?  no wait it was way too short. If you blinked it was over. 

I gave up after the first hour.  I went back later and fast forward through most of it just stopping at the real award show parts. 

Oh and those that think they fell asleep and missed the little bit every award shows has remember the people who are now gone. Nope you didn't miss it they didn't' have it.   This is an award show staple. 

It was a disgrace. I am so embarrassed for Daytime.  The art form of the  daily serial may indeed be on life support and about ready to breath its last.  

Watching the Daytime Emmy Awards Now CBS

Watching it right now. Bradford nominated.  Second year in a row.

blurb on Bradford's injury.

I just read on on the Spinelli Livejoural. There is a soaps in depth blurb about Bradford recent injury on the Soap Cruise and how it will affect the show.

		.
"Since GENERAL HOSPITAL's Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) needs surgery to repair his Achilles tendon — which he reported on his twitter page that he fully ruptured during last weekend's Soap Cruise — will his alter ego soon be hobbling around Port Chuck as well? Yep! According to a GH spokesperson, Anderson's injury will indeed be written into the show. "Spinelli will hurt it off camera," we're told."                Soaps In Depth   ( link : http://abc.soapsindepth.com/latebreakingnews/ )

WOW sorry

i just realized i have not posted here in over 3 months??  If you look it was around September that it all went down hill.  Well thats when my marriage started to fall apart. I am sorry. I will work harder at getting stuff posted and besides the stupid thing with Maxie and Franco very little has changed in Spinelli's life so carry on..


I have started blogging my marriage or rather end of it here http://finding-mylife.blogspot.com/

Oh in other news I found GH great the last two days.. Well as good as it could be when its about shotting your own son you didn't know (Darn Sonny is one annoying bastard.)

End of the Year Wrap Up!

Kittens, it's been one hell of a Spinellified year on General Hospital:

The Good: The Non-Wedding & Jackal PI

General Hospital knew that when it comes to Spinelli and Maxie, nothing can happen by the book. So, of course the most romantic expressions of love and devotion had to happen when they decided to CALL OFF their wedding. Also, it was such a total BONUS for Spinelli to finally break out of Jason's shadow just enough to start up a PI firm with Miss Sam. Team SPAM for the win!

The Bad: Jail Bird & Betrayal

The Jackal had a lot of tough luck in the beginning of the year...Especially when the Feds came a knockin' regarding his less than legal hacking skills after being duped by the (thankfully GONE) Spinelli clone Winnifred. Then, Spinelli's heart was broken repeatedly twice due to Maxie, first after she slept with him to keep him away from Winnie-the-Fed, and secondly when she couldn't figure out her feelings regarding Johnny. Needless to say, this stories brought some extremely great glimpses at the powerhouse Bradford Anderson can be. The man should not just be restricted to comedy.

The Karaoke: Life was a musical for Spinelli this summer. First he worried about impressing Maxie with a serenade, unable to carry a tune in a bucket. Miraculously, though, she inspired him to really belt it out to "I Wanna Know What Love Is" in one of the most heartwarming scenes in General Hospital History. Then, there was the Karoke at the non-reception where the rest of GH sang to Maxie and Spinelli. After everyone left, Spinelli got a chance to sing sweetly to his Non-Mrs in a moment that channeled the Frisco/Felicia wedding of Maxie's parents.

Definitely his most diverse year to date. We can only hope for more to come in the new year.

Short & Sweet interview from Canadian TVGuides Suds Report

“I love my job so much that I love the idea of being on it during the ‘80s and knowing that there were 30 years more of it at least. I can see myself being on GH for a lifetime, and that’s not to say we won’t be around for another 30 years … ”

--Bradford Anderson Suds Report Sept 25 2009
