 Daytime Emmys Nominations Revealed: Only Three Soaps Will Compete For Best
Drama This Year
 By Lynette Rice

 The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has revealed all the
nominees for the 52nd Annual Daytime Emmys, which are set for October 17 in
Pasadena.
 Only three daytime dramas earned nominations this year: ABC’s General
Hospital (last year’s winner), Peacock’s Days of Our Lives and CBS’ The
Young and the Restless. NATAS says the default target is five, but
guidelines state that “in any category where there are fewer than ten (10)
submissions, no more than 50% of submitted entries may be nominated. This
is a longstanding rule that the National Awards Committee is enforcing
across all competitions to ensure the integrity of NATAS competitions and
maintain the reputation of excellence for nominees.”
 Don’t be surprised by the absence of Beyond the Gates, CBS’ new soap that
bowed in February of this year. The eligibility window for this year’s
Daytime Emmy nominees was January 1-December 31, 2024, with the judging
period running May 22-June 9. Beyond the Gates will be eligible next year.
 In the Daytime Talk Series category announced last night, last year’s
winner The Kelly Clarkson Show is up again alongside The Drew Barrymore
Show, The Jennifer Hudson Show, Live with Kelly and Mark and The View.
 Clarkson, Barrymore, Hudson and Live‘s Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos were
also nominated in the Talk Show Host category, joined by the Today duo of
Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb, the latter of which exited the show earlier
this year.
 Among this year’s noms leaders are Young and the Restless with 19, General
Hospital with 16, Days of Our Lives with 13, Drew Barrymore with nine and
Kelly Clarkson with eight.
 Here is the full list.
 Outstanding Daytime Drama Series
 Days of Our Lives
Peacock
 General Hospital
ABC
 The Young and the Restless
CBS [Sony Pictures Television]
 Outstanding Lead Actress In A Daytime Drama Series
 Sharon Case as Sharon Newman
The Young and the Restless (CBS)

O...M...G.

Eileen Davidson as Ashley Abbott
The Young and the Restless (CBS)

She's not really "lead".

Melissa Claire Egan as Chelsea Lawson
The Young and the Restless (CBS)
 Nancy Lee Grahn as Alexis Davis
General Hospital (ABC)

[roll]

Michelle Stafford as Phyllis Summers
The Young and the Restless (CBS)
 Laura Wright as Carly Spencer
General Hospital (ABC)

[puke]
Would probably go with Stafford with this lineup, though she's definitely an... acquired taste.

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Daytime Drama Series
 Peter Bergman as Jack Abbott
The Young and the Restless (CBS)
 Eric Martsolf as Brady Black
Days of Our Lives (Peacock)

BOOSTER GOLD for the WIN!!  ;p

Greg Rikaart as Leo Stark
Days of Our Lives (Peacock)

Also, not really lead.

Paul Telfer as Xander Kiriakis
Days of Our Lives (Peacock)
 Dominic Zamprogna as Dante Falconeri
General Hospital (ABC)

This wouldn't be my choice.

Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Daytime Drama Series
 Tajh Bellow as TJ Ashford
General Hospital (ABC)

Really?!
(Doubly funny as he has been 100% MIA since TJ and NuNuNuMolly broke up months and months ago - I don't think he's shown up once since!)

Blake Berris as Everett Lynch
Days of our Lives (Peacock)

I was actually irritated when they killed Everett off - it felt like a later set of writers deliberately sabotaged what their predecessor writers were trying to do. I really hate this kind of petty sh*t when it happens on TV shows...

Michael Graziadei as Daniel Romalotti
The Young and the Restless (CBS)

Meh.

Gregory Harrison as Gregory Chase
General Hospital (ABC)

Head and shoulders above the other options here!

Jonathan Jackson as Lucky Spencer
General Hospital (ABC)

They must be joking!!

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Daytime Drama Series
 Linsey Godfrey as Sarah Horton
Days of Our Lives (Peacock)

[roll]

Courtney Hope as Sally Spectra
The Young and the Restless (CBS)

Um, no.

Kate Mansi as Kristina Corinthos Davis
General Hospital (ABC)

She plays what is pretty literally about the most annoying character in all of daytime! I've liked Mansi in other things, like DOOL. But her character on GH is so loathsome there is nothing she can do to turn that around.

Emily O’Brien as Theresa Donovan
Days of Our Lives (Peacock)

Gah... This would probably be my vote, even though O'Brien was only about half as good as Jen Lilley in the role. But even that was probably better than I was expecting.

Susan Walters as Diane Jenkins Abbott
The Young and the Restless (CBS)

She's fine.

Outstanding Guest Performance In A Daytime Drama Series
 Linden Ashby as Cameron Kirsten
The Young and the Restless (CBS)

Loved this bit - he was great a HallucinationCameron!

Clint Howard as Tom Starr
The Bold and the Beautiful (CBS)

Eh.

Jacqueline Lopez as Blaze
General Hospital (ABC)

Another pretty awful character, dragged down further by the black hole that is Kristina Corinthos.

Alley Mills as Heather Webber
General Hospital (ABC)

I enjoyed her immensely in the role. More than I did the originator, Robin Mattson.

Valarie Pettiford as Amy Lewis
The Young and the Restless (CBS)

Meh.

Avery Kristen Pohl as Esme Prince
General Hospital (ABC)

Absolutely the best choice here, IMO, though I'm at a loss at how she's "guest" rather than "supporting".
WHERE THE HELL IS MADELYN KIENTZ AS SOPHIA CHOI (#1) FROM DOOL?!!

Outstanding Emerging Talent In A Daytime Drama Series
 Olivia d’Abo as Fifi Garrett
The Bay (Popstar! TV [LANY Entertainment | SheMogul Entertainment])

D'Abo has been around forever!! How is she "Emerging"?!?!!

AnnaLynne McCord as Cat Greene
Days of Our Lives (Peacock)

I like her generally, but her character is a total dud.

Ashley Puzemis as Holly Jonas
Days of Our Lives (Peacock)

I really like her.

Christian Weissmann as Remy Pryce
The Bold and the Beautiful (CBS)
 Lisa Yamada as Luna Nozawa
The Bold and the Beautiful (CBS)

CRAZY LUNA!!  :)
I would probably go for Puzemis, but I wouldn't be put off if Yamada won.

Outstanding Hairstyling And Makeup
 The Bold and the Beautiful
CBS

AH HA HA HA HA HA!
