All four daytime soap operas - The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital and The Young and the Restless -
have joined together to demand changes in the voting and accounting practices for the Daytime Emmy Awards and the way the competition is held, according to Deadline.
The joint letter, sent today to National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences chair Terry O'Reilly and interim president and CEO Adam Sharp, is in response to the recent gaffe, in which Patrika Darbo's 2018 Daytime Emmy for her guest-starring role on Amazon soap opera The Bay was rescinded after NATAS found submission errors in her and other categories. Last month, Darbos called out the group for its actions and called for an outside audit “to restore integrity and confidence in” the awards.

New York -- Movie-focused digital cable ReelzChannel is pulling the bulk of its operations out of Los Angeles and Minneapolis and moving to Albuquerque, N.M.
It is uncertain how many of the 2-year-old channel's roughly 200 full- and part-time employees will make the move, though most if not all will get the opportunity to apply for about 100 jobs at the new facility. An affiliate-relations unit will remain in Minneapolis for now.
Three top executives -- president and COO Gary Thorne, executive vp and Gm Terry O'Reilly and executive vp finance and administration Bernie Weiss -- already have said they won't move. Other executives have committed, including chairman and CEO Stan Hubbard, who will oversee all aspects of the operation.
ReelzChannel, like Ovation TV, is owned by Minneapolis-based Hubbard Broadcasting. Ovation is not affected. The move is scheduled to be completed early this year.
