Did they do an In Memoriam? Because my interest in soaps died with Billy Miller

They did. Billy was shown.

Frank only mentioned Sonya and Nneka (a producer who passed this year) in his speech, though, omitting the varied GH-related passings (Tyler Christopher, Jackie Zeeman, Billy Miller). GH also hasn't even done an "In Loving Memory" to Billy that I can recall.

No they haven't. Y&R did. Hell, CBS even had a picture of him standing in their lobby soon after. Doesn't exactly help my opinion of ABC/GH

Was Frank nervous or on something? He had such a weird, flat voice when he accepted the award. Maybe if he was nervous he just forgot to mention the others but it was especially sad he didn’t mention Jackie who had been on the show for so many years.

And I was very disappointed in the show for not doing a memory for Billy Miller’s passing.
