Earlier this week, the stars of daytime attended a red carpet and reception celebrating the outstanding creative achievements of the Television Academy Daytime Programming Peer Group members, led by Governors Eva Basler and Steven Kent.

The annual get-together is always a few weeks before the Primetime Emmys and this year was no exception. Held at the TV Academy’s Saban Media Center, many of your favorites mingled with their co-horts, co-stars and more.

The soap were well-represented by stars of The Young and the Restless, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and The Bold and the Beautiful, in addition to digital drama series: Ladies of the Lake, The Bay, and Venice the Series.

Daytime Emmy winning director, Sonia Blangiardo also returns to direct all four episodes in addition to being promoted to co-executive producer of the series.

In a statement to SOD, Kyle Lowder related, “We had always hoped to be able to bring the audience more Ladies of the Lake and thankfully, the numbers have made that possible.” Michael Caruso who also wrote the series added, “We are bringing back the entire creative team from the first season and are excited to continue telling the story of the women of Avalon. The book was an amazing launching point, but fans should definitely expect some major tonal changes for season 2. We listened to our audience and are going to bring you an edgier, sexier, faster paced show. Season one was about laying the groundwork for the characters and bringing the original novel to life. Season two is about the fallout from the events of the first season and kicking the story into high gear.” (more…)
