I was wondering if they were going to give Erika Slezak and OLTL the due respect and honor they deserve, particularly after their AMC tribute with Susan Lucci. The cynical part of me was saying that they wouldn't do it, because, in my opinion, OLTL was considered to be a 'step-child' in the ABC daytime line-up. For too many years, when ABC daytime would be mentioned, people would automatically focus on either GH or AMC.
ReplyDeleteIt's a long over-due honor to not only Slezak but also to the cast and crew of OLTL.
