CBS Soaps In Depth - June 22, 1999

somewhere over the rainbow
Y&R and B&B's annual pre-Daytime Emmy bash at New York's famed Rainbow Room was, as usual, a very classy affair.  The mood was especially festive considering that Y&R was heading into the ceremony with a record 21 nominations, the most ever in a single year.  Melody Thomas Scott - celebrating her first nod in the Lead Actress category - announced to a roomful of press, family, friends and colleagues that the feat had been inducted into The Guinness Book Of World Records.  "I can't believe that I'm the only one who thought to call them," she joked.  But as her husband, executive producer Edward Scott, quipped: "My worst nightmare is that we get all of these nominations and don't win a thing."
