Daytime Emmy Soap Sweep

DAYTIME EMMYS SOAP SWEEP!

General Hospital walked away with Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor (Anthony Geary), Outstanding Supporting Actress (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Jonathan Jackson) and literally swept the awards show for this year. However, we have to say that even if Days of Our Lives only secured a few awards in Casting, Make-up and Outstanding Young Actor (Chandler Massey) the female cast certainly looked like winners on the red carpet!

LONDON CALLING

BY CINDY BARNES & ALEXANDRA COLLARD

“It’s Piccadilly Circus out there!” A phrase often used among us Brits to describe how the energy of the city is abuzz with life. The bustling streets lined with bright lights and billboards, all witness to people dashing through tightly knit crowds with barely an inch to stay on path. The never ending round-a-bouts that carry cars and cabbies in a circular flow with brakes screeching and horns honking like there’s no tomorrow – all in a desperate rush to get somewhere and yet appearing to get nowhere in a hurry. Through the noise of the traffic you can hear the fruit and veg’ sellers yelling for your attention to buy the freshest Granny Smith Apples you’ll ever find, all for a pound – and without fail – while you’re hailing a cab or jumping into the subway, you’ll literally bump into someone with their head buried in the beloved Evening Standard, London’s recently refreshed city paper. It’s a term fondly used when everything around you is jam packed, but still moving at such a fast and furious speed it could make your head spin! Yes, London 2012 is “Piccadilly Circus”, for us Brits. With royalty events galore, and world class sporting events that captured the likes of media attention unheard of before, it’s been a busy year and we’re not even half way through the fun yet!
