Can we go back to the days when Soaps were this well written and acted?

i think NY based soaps /actors were just better than west coast soaps

@@lilysowner That is because they drew from a pool of theater-trained actors. Many of the west coast soaps just got TV-ready actors with pretty faces. ATWT had people who often did double duty starring in plays while they were still on the soap.

It is fitting that these two women both won Emmys, great performances!

Yes! Soap operas were so well written, acted, and directed back then!

Anna Holbrook earned that Emmy. Her performances were Meryl Streep level amazing. Jill Phelps gets a lot of shit but the one thing she does well is make the performers perform riveting soap opera.

The irony is... this is the second time under her rule that an adultery story happened and then shortly after... a beloved character was killed off. Only this time, the woman being cheated on wasn't killed.

I would hardly say her production won GH all those acting emmys in the 00s. In fact GH was awful with Megan McTavish.

The level of Sharlene's pain was so well portrayed by Anna Holbrook. Sharlene was so scorned, hurt, and bitter. It's impossible to not feel it yourself. I loved this storyline.

It is amazing that the character of Sharlene made Emmy winners out of BOTH actresses who portrayed her (Laurie and Anna). Way to go, Sharlene, Anna, and Laurie!!!!!❤

This is good as Kristen and Marlena And Annie Dutton and Reva Shane on Guiding Light. But Another World was by far My favorite

I loved Another World. Growing up my grandmother (who was deaf) watched the soaps from 11am until 3pm. The Young and The Restless, Days Of Our Lives, Somerset, Another World and Santa Barbara. We (all 6 of us grandkids) had to watch them until our afternoon shows came on and you kinda got hooked on them. In college a scheduled my classes around the soaps lol. My grandmother always knew what was going on if I missed a few days. Yes she was deaf, she lost her hearing at age 10, but she could read lips across an ocean lol. Brings me back. Another World was awesome. I loved/hated the characters. Rachel. Mac. Iris. Felecia. Quinn. Donna. Micheal. Reginald. Vicky/Marley. Cass. Sharlene/Sharly. Amanda. Sam. Jake. Pauline. Jaime. The story lines were so engrossing and fantastic. Yelling at the characters, screaming, crying, wishing I found a love like them..and mourning the real deaths of Mac and Ada.

Wow - this is amazing stuff! Soaps for some reason were considered the lower end of the acting genre, but this is better than hollywood! Two amazing ladies who are acting their socks off! Brilliant!

I love this show

If they had continued stories like this, the show wouldn’t have been cancelled.

I like that middle age actors getting juicy storylines, but I just did not like the pairing/adultery of John and Felicia. I could NEVER see Felicia as "The other woman", she had class and style. This was a mistake. Sharlene was absolutely right to be pissed off!

These scenes were wonderful! I'm glad they both won Emmys for this!

FUCK ME.........this was FINE ass acting BOTH ladies knew how to deliver.....ROUND of Applause I miss these days of DAYTIME!!!!!!

Phenomenal acting , the show was on the rise during this time , until NBC behind the scenes started to destroy it bit by bit until its cancellation in 1999!

Miss another world

Fabulous soap opera

I was always an Another World fan, since the glorious days of Rachel.

Gosh watching old clips/episodes on KZread and this show was fantastic.

Watching a Hallmark movie (A Little Daytime Drama) and just saw Linda Dano in it!! I immediately remembered Felicia from Another World (even though I was just a young kid in preschool when my mom used to watch that soap)! 😳 Somehow I can remember _her_ and the _soaps_ yet I can barley remember what I ate for lunch today! 🤣

I love it when two BIG actresses eat the same meal! Wow that was amazing!

They blew it they should have picked anna holbrook to play martha srewart instead of cybil shephard!!
