Dear TV source magazine , Lily ( Y&R) hasn’t been Lily Winters for about 2 years now . Its sooo weird to see her name listed like that.
Butttttttt Yay for CK …
Hillary B Smith and Bob Woods were once again ROBBED. Why am I not surprised that nobody recognizes them. It’s like a pattern.
So glad to see Erika Slezak get a pre-nom and hopefully get a nomination because the work she submitted was by far some of her best of last year.
