Debbi Morgan has decided to take herself out of the running at next year’s Daytime Emmy Awards. Morgan, who portrayed Angie on All My Children explained that “I just really, really want to move on. The many months of being told we’re on hiatus but would be coming back and then snatching the rug from under us and the fans has been very emotional. So right now, the head space I’m in is just completely distancing myself from AMC with regards an Emmy consideration. Check out Soaps in Depth to see what lovely words the actress had to say about her costars and the soap’s creator Agnes Nixon.

Rants & Raves:

  • I’m loving the shades of “Psycho Sheila Carter” with The Bold and the Beautiful’s Quinn (Rena Sofer).
  • But do we really need both Quinn and Donna (Jennifer Gareis) going after Eric (John McCook).
  • Ha! That poor Simon on Coronation Street. Those evil girls Faye and Grace forcefully dressed him in drag.
  • Days of our Lives had a lot of great moments this week, but the one that stands out the most is when Sami (Alison Sweeney) and Nicole (Arianne Zucker) listed each other’s sins.

  • From the park to the pub, Abe (James Reynolds) and Theo’s (Terrell Ransom, Jr.) walking tour of Salem continued this week.
  • A guilty Sami’s imagination saw EJ (James Scott) morph into Nick (Blake Berris) and it was amazing.
  • General Hospital: Sure it was ridiculous that Robin (Kimberly McCullough) didn’t attempt to stop Patrick (Jason Thompson) and Sabrina’s (Teresa Castillo) wedding but when Emma ran to her mother and the church all saw Robin alive, that gripe went out of the stained glass window. Loved that kiss, sorry/not sorry Sabrina.

  • Did Anna (Finola Hughes) and Robert (Tristan Rogers) really kill Faison (Anders Hove)? Seems like there’s more to this story.
  • Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) asking Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) to “spend the night” with him was so sweet.
  • It’s about time someone slapped Maxie (Kirsten Storms)! Welcome back Robin. While we’re at it, Faison could have easily faked Georgie’s death as well…right? It’s great seeing Lindze Letherman. Also loved Robin’s reunions with Mac (John J. York), Felicia (Kristina Wagner), Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Sam (Kelly Monaco).

  • Could someone at The Young and the Restless please explain to us why we should care so much about Dylan’s (Steve Burton) saintly “parents,” Courtney’s (Kellie Goss) mystery texter Zach and Tyler’s (Redaric Williams) ex-fiancee Mariah? Why look to this off-canvas characters where there are so many existing characters to mine story from?
  • Loved it when Victor (Eric Braeden) finally confronted Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) about her trusting and relying on Paul (Doug Davidson) with her cult baby secret instead of him. Very touching when she revealed she was worried about what Victor would think of her since his own mother abandoned him at an orphanage. Back to Victor’s issue – remember way back when Nikki was worried about Victor’s professional relationship with Christine (Lauralee Bell)? Would be cool if they addressed that. Also, I hope they do away with that evil cult leader being Dylan’s father. There’s plenty more story if they made Paul the father.
