39th Daytime Emmy Awards

NEVER SAY NEVER!

There was no shortage of excitement on the red carpet before the 39th Daytime Emmy Awards at the Beverly Hilton (Hollywood), broadcast by the classy folks at HLN TV. Susan Lucci showed her perfect soap slap, Eric Braeden surprised a fan who gushed her dream would be to meet him, and Kristian Alfonso teased that
she still did not necessarily believe Peter Reckell - aka Bo Brady - would be departing from Days of Our Lives! "Never say never," she smiled and that’s exactly what this was. A never say never
kind of night ...
