^in some ways this is why I feel SOD is better at picking winners than the other actors are. SOD is relatively impartial and they generally watch everyday so they know what the whole year was like for each soap. |

Wow...GOD FORBID DAYS win ANY Emmys....I absolutely HATED the writing on DAYS, but the episode that won them the Emmy was a VERY GOOD episode and IMO very deserving. And even though I hate the fact that MarDar are Emmy winners...based on the rules of how Emmy's are won, they won it fair and square for one of their best episodes that they wrote. Y&R and GH Writers - PLEASE remove the ENTITLED stick lodged up your asses and GET OVER YOURSELVES!! Seriously, the other shows are such cunts...I mean...REALLY...they are gonna complain about DAYS winning a major award, something they have not done in 30 years....just STFU and go home and look at your trophy case full of half deserved Emmys!

Who decides what episode to submit for the writing? I think it strange that TPTB knew enough to know that the episode, including JnJ in the cabin, was powerful, but that the same PTB decided to showcase the PTSD and JnJ as little as possible.

When you put it in the context of Corday recently referring to Sami and her crowd as 'the kids' it becomes more clear. |

Getting giddy about ED likely to return. ED will be golden in scenes with so many people...Both DH and JM, but looking forward to her scenes with JS, AZ, and LK. :cheer: |

Monkey paw is the like the flip side of something happening...like a "be careful what you wish for" So money paw of ED returning would be that she only comes back to play Susan or to be killed off. You can thank JS for starting the monkey paw thing. |

Well someone (either the show or an insider) needs to piss or get off the toilet already re: ED. I've been patient -- mostly because I've felt little to no investment -- but I need to know if I'm going to be watching this show again or not. If not, I'll be happy to say sayonara for good, but I'd like to know either way. |

Caylee, "monkey's paw" has been explained at length somewhere on the board already. Basically, "be careful what you wish for, as it might not come as you had hoped and expected." It comes from a short story in which an old couple gets a monkey's paw. They wish upon it that they will get money. So their son dies, and they collect the money from his death benefit. Then they wish him alive again, and he comes back zombie/corpse-like, so they have to use their last wish to wish him dead again. We've seen lots of monkey's paw scenarios on the show already: Yay! MarDar are gone. Oh, wait, they're bringing Tomlin back. Yay! Jack's back. Oh, wait, they're going to dress him in awful sweaters, never use him, and get rid of him. Possibly: Yay! ED is back. Oh, wait, both Susan and Kristen are in love with Dr. Jonas and/or Rafe too. Edited by AHM, Jun 26 2012, 11:42 AM.

It should be easy to figure out WHO they are referring to when they say people are talking bad about DAYS' writing win. Who are the writers on Twitter? It obviously wasn't Ron Carlivati because I follow him and he rarely tweets anymore, not to mention he wasn't nominated. It wasn't Valentini. I'm guessing its someone from Y&R because I follow almost all of the GH people and I've seen nothing. |

Maybe if we all call Corday Productions and piss them off enough they'll send out the memo to SOD early. |

Allegations were made. Innuendo ran rampant. But nothing was ever "proven" as "fact." Because the people involved weren't talking. The lawsuit never went to court. So the only place where anyone was "convicted" was in the court of public opinion. There are alternative explanations to what happened, but they're not titillating enough, so no one wants to hear them! lol. |

I don't even know if the show should be watched when judging writing- good actors can spin crap into something watchable. Why not just give a storyline summary, broken down month by month? So if you see three months of "Carrie tells Rafe about her feelings" or if something like "Victor confesses to stealing Maggie's frozen eggs and giving them to a friend," or perhaps you know that writing team probably doesn't deserve an award. They can spin a separate award for the people writing actual dialogue, if they don't have that already. Still, people shouldn't be openly bitter to the point where scolding via Twitter is necessary. That's just childish. The ED tweets are promising. I'm with those who want some official confirmation already, because it's getting to a point where the enthusiasm will be tainted by "it's about f-ing time." I think they need some pure unbridled giddiness. I know I do. |

I'm almost hoping we'll get an inserted scene this week just showing a woman's hands, or something mysterious like that. That would be a great way to slowly add her to the show again, use her like Alistair Crane on Passions for a month or whatever until taping catches up in September. |

I can gurantee that the writers are not smart enough to do something like this. |

The only reason I can see them wanting to be so secretive is if Eileen/Kristen is incorporated in the cliffhanger before the Olympics. They might want to keep the shock value. But at this point, they should just come out and say it... we've all heard about it by now. |
