For "Liza Colby" on ABC's All My Children
"Winning Ain't Everything"
Ask Marcy Walker what she hopes to teach
her son, Taylor, and she will answer with a story. "I went to an awards event, and it
was the first time I had ever taken him to anything like that. Someone else won in my
category and I didn't think anything of it, but he looked at me kind of sad, and he said
to me 'I wish you would have won.' I told him, "But I am always a winner, because I
have you.' Losing in front of him was the best gift I could have ever gotten," she
says, "because he realized that I'm not always invinclible to him, but I was still
happy - I didn't crumble, and i didn't cry, because I have my family, and that's the most
important thing. He was thrilled to have the tables turned, to be able to say, 'I'm sorry
you didn't win.' He got to be the parent for a minute. It was a wonderful lesson."

EMMY DISH - What's it like to be a Daytime
Emmy nominee? Digest chatted with the chosen ones about everything from the atmosphere on
the set when the nominations come out to award-show attire - and even whether they
prepared an acceptance speech...just in case.
DIGEST: How do you feel about AMC
receiving so many nominations?
WALKER: I said to [Supervising Producer
Ginger Smith], "Do you think there will be people there who will not hate us?"
It's hard when you see so many people being honored from one show. We were very blessed.
DIGEST: What do you think was your best
work?
WALKER: The courtroom stuff where Jake
realizes the baby isn't his.
DIGEST: How does it feel to compete with
two co-stars?
WALKER: I was on the show many, many years
ago, and I used to look at Julia Barr [Brooke] and Susan Lucci [Erica] in awe. I used to
watch them because I respected them, and I respected their professionalism and I respected
their work. So, to be in a category with them, I hope it means that I belong. I feel like
this is a true acknowledgement. And Martha Byrne [Lily/Rose, ATWT] has been someone I've
watched for years. It's funny, I'm a little nervous to even get into a conversaton with
her because I've watched her work for so many years and I have such a great deal of
respect for her. And Susan Flannery [Stephanie, B&B], as well. I'm honored and I'm
humbled. |
