Viola Davis also made history, becoming the first black actress to win the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for her role as Annalise Keating on How to Get Away with Murder.

“In my dreams and visions, I seemed to see a line, and on the other side of that line were green fields, and lovely flowers, and beautiful white ladies, who stretched out their arms to me over the line, but I couldn’t reach them no-how,” Davis said, quoting Harriet Tubman in her acceptance speech. “Let me tell you something: the only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity. You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.”

NEWS: Deirdre Barlow Book, Crystal Hunt, Jonathan Frid, Anthony Geary

'Deirdre: A Life on Coronation Street' will be released on October 22
The book is the official Coronation Street tie-in celebration of Deirdre Barlow's time on the show; a tribute to one of Corrie fans' all-time favorite characters. Deirdre (played by the late Anne Kirkbride) was on our screens for over 40 years and in that time she became a British institution. Packed full of storylines, reminiscences and fascinating trivia, the book will explore Deidre’s pinnacle moments on The Street. From her first appearance in Weatherfield as a slip of a lass with a shoulder-length bob and with just three lines to say to becoming the most loved and talked about character in the history of the show. With a "wealth of never-before-seen photographs this is the book every Coronation Street fan cannot wait to read."

Ken Barlow will be told of Deirdre's death on tonight's episode of Coronation Street
Tonight’s episode of Coronation Street is going to be an emotional one. After the tragic death of actress Anne Kirkbride in January, the soapwill tonight feature the news of her character Deirdre’s passing.

Why soap opera history matters (at least to viewers)
Last week on General Hospital, Luke (Anthony Geary) asked Holly (Emma Samms) if she’d ever met his late cousin, Bill (also played by Geary from 1991 to 1993). Holly said, “No.” The Twitter-verse went mental.

Here is why soap history matters: Viewers invest themselves in the characters. They invest themselves in their love stories. They root for them. It’s what keeps them tuning in every day. Telling viewers that what they watched happen on their screens never, in fact, actually happened is a slap in the face.

Farewell Anthony Geary: Best Moments from 3 Decades on General Hospital
Anthony Geary is leaving General Hospital. His last day on the show will be July 27th. In honor of his departure, ABC.com will be releasing moments from the last 28 years of Luke Spencer's long journey starting Monday, July 13th.

Former Guiding Light and One Life to Live actress Crystal Hunt "honored" to play Lauren in Magic Mike XXL
"As an actress, it was an honor to be casted and work with such talented individuals," the Queens of Drama star reveals. "As a woman, it was actually an empowering role and the comradery among the females on set was apparent."

Bay of the Living Dead: Dark Shadows star Jonathan Frid Was Gay and That's OK
"He was silenced by the fear still clearly present in many fans today. By putting this aspect of his life under erasure you diminish the man. There is nothing wrong with being gay."

Game of Thrones Season 5 has averaged 19.8 million weekly viewers with DVR, On Demand and HBO Go/Now playback folded in
GoT's latest run thus stands as its most watched to date, besting the 19.1 million who consumed Season 4 episodes.

Canceled Forever unable to find a new home
The ABC drama, which was cancelled after one season in May, was unable to find another network, according to a message from series creator Matt Miller.

Guiding Light alum Jordan Clarke enjoys being a handyman
Jordan Clarke lived a working actor’s dream, going from primetime bit player to beloved, award-winning star of Guiding Light, playing Billy Lewis for many years. He was also a part-time handyman. In his latest feature, BuzzFeed's David Kushner recounts his relationship with Clarke as a handyman over the past few decades.

"Fixing things had a tangibility that, after all these years reading lines, he craved. He savored the satisfaction of making a new cabinet and seeing it being used in someone’s home. There were no lights shining down, no directors giving him orders, no egotistical co-stars. There was just him, a hammer, and a problem to solve. 'As wonderful as acting is,' he told me, 'this is more satisfying.'"

Where Are They Now: Former Guiding Light actress Sonia Satra
Sonia Satra is perhaps best known for her life as a soap opera star, having appeared in both Guiding Light (Lucy) and One Life to Live (Barbara). However, she is now known for her role in the world of fitness.

Former General Hospital actor John Stamos breaks his silence as a DUI arrest
Police pulled over the 51-year-old General Hospital (Blackie) alum in Beverly Hills on Friday evening after receiving several calls about a possible drunk driver. They then transported Stamos, who was driving alone, to the nearby Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for observation "due to a possible medical condition." There, he was arrested and issued a citation for DUI and was released to the care of the hospital.

"Thanks to everyone for their love & support," Stamos tweeted. "I'm home & well. Very appreciative of the BHPD & Cedars for their care."

Stamos is scheduled to answer to the DUI charge at a hearing in Los Angeles on September 11.

Jerry Penacoli thanks President Obama: You ‘Saved My Finances and My Life’
During an interview with entertainment news program Extra, correspondent Jerry Penacoli thanked the president for his healthcare law, which he says “pretty much saved my finances and my life” during his battle with cancer.

The former Days of our Lives (Miles) actor suffered from stage 3 melanoma and early-stage thyroid cancer. But he was able to pay for treatments thanks to a provision in the president’s healthcare law that lifted lifetime caps on insurance benefits.

EastEnders star Danielle Harold confirms exit from soap
Danielle Harold has confirmed she's leaving the show. The 23-year-old has played Lola Pearce since July 2011, but she admitted she's looking forward to trying new things.

Neighbours' worst historical inconsistencies
Twenty-nine years is a long time in anyone's language, but in soap opera terms, it's literally hundreds of lifetimes. Keeping up with who's related to who and how on Channel Ten's Neighbours, Australia's longest-running soap, is as important as making sure that Susan Kennedy's dangly earrings match from one take to the next. When slip-ups happen - and they do, despite an extensive in-house database, and meticulous archives on fansites, where character biographies can run into the tens of thousands of words - it doesn't go unnoticed by the legions of the show's fans, many of whom have been faithfully tuning in since day one.

There are plenty of reasons for anyone, spoiled or no, to be eagerly anticipating this Sunday's Game of Thrones finale entitled "The Children."

"It’s the best finale we've ever done, bar none," say series creators Dan Weiss and David Benioff. "The performances from our cast, the direction from Alex Graves, the VFX work, the new [music] cues from Ramin Djawadi—all of it came together in perhaps the finest hour we’ve produced."

Weiss and Benioff are so confident in this episode, in fact, that it’s the only one they have submitted for Best Writing for this year's Primetime Emmy Awards.

"There was a decision to really go serialized this year, to take out the case of the week element and really make it about the characters. So, you know, this year Johnny (Manny Montana) really comes to the forefront, and Jakes (Brandon Jay McLaren) has some great storylines early on, Paige (Serinda Swan) really takes on a huge role, and Charlie (Vanessa Ferlito) and Briggs… well, not to spoil anything, but their relationship has changed quite a bit."

HBO has renewed GAME OF THRONES for a fifth and sixth season, it was announced on Tuesday by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming.

"GAME OF THRONES is a phenomenon like no other," noted Lombardo. "David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, along with their talented collaborators, continue to surpass themselves, and we look forward to more of their dazzling storytelling."

GAME OF THRONES Returns for Fourth Season April 6

Encouraged by the Red Wedding slaughter in the Riverlands that wiped out many of their Stark nemeses, the Lannisters' hold on the Iron Throne remains intact... but can they survive their own egos, as well as new and ongoing threats from the south, north and east? While an unbowed Stannis Baratheon continues to rebuild his army in Dragonstone, a more immediate danger comes from the south, as Oberyn Martell, the Lannister-loathing "Red Viper of Dorne," arrives at King's Landing to attend Joffrey's wedding to Margaery Tyrell, and perhaps act on an ulterior agenda. In the north, a depleted Night's Watch seems overmatched against the inexorable Wall advances of Mance Rayder's army of wildlings, which in turn is being trailed by an even more formidable foe: the undead White Walkers. As if that weren't enough, Daenerys Targaryen, accompanied by her menacing trio of dragons and army of Unsullied, is poised to liberate Meereen, the largest city in Slaver's Bay, which could ultimately provide her with enough ships to sail to Westeros and reclaim the Iron Throne.
