See see !! ohh yeah !
That’s one reason I luvs Michael…. He takes care of us.
I had no need to struggle to watch the Emmys because I knew Michael would bring it to us !!
Thank You, Michael !!! 🙂

awww Tony was sitting by Finola ..
whoa they were all dressed to the 10 ..
ok- confession-
I moused over the time line and stopped when I saw the soap stuff..
Most all soap awards came at end of 1st hour..
GH, the winning soap was presented the Emmy at the end/last one of the Emmy’s..
Most the main cast was on stage..

FV almost forgot the thank RC for giving GH the emmy.. it was RC’s scenes submitted..

I would like to thank you Michael for sharing with us the Emmy show, we really enjoyed it but, still wish we could have seen it on Tv last night.

Hey – this beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick! Thanks for making the ceremony available. It didn’t have the “bells&whistles” that a live on TV broadcast would have had, but it was just fine. There is a difference between ‘knowing’ who won an award and ‘seeing’ who won an award. Thanks for posting this video of the ceremony. I appreciate it.

I was going to watch on another site thank you Mr Fairman i will be watching here on my favorite soap site..

I was just watching Chicago P.D. and JesseSoffer reminded me.. ATWT …Will Munson.. RogerHowarth as Paul.. JenniferLandon.. Little house on the prairie MichaelLandons daughter as Gwen .. and cuckoo Teri Garber.. Gwen’s low rent hilarious mama who wanted to be Barbara Ryan.. Jesse reminded me of awards shows past when soaps were respected and aired.. JMO…

Thank you so much for posting this! I enjoyed this cut-to-the-chase ceremony. Congratulations to all the nominees and winners!

I loved when GH won at the end and Steve Burton stood up and applauded:). Only actor from another table to do so. Very classy of him. And I also liked they asked Tristan to come up with the show. It was nice to se him and Tony together with Finola.

Who’s Tristan?

Tristan Rogers, Robert Scorpio

Very nice gesture! Wish it were more than a “gesture”–wish “Robert” would come back to GH.

“he” (Steve Burton) has a nice smile…. I was like woah

was nice

I miss Steve Burton… HE “made” the character of Sam…. “work” as a twosome TEAM

watching nuJason and Sam… currently… is beyond reason….

these two are … as I’ve been holding steady… are now “fast forward” material

argh! Maxie is asking Sam for Nancy Drew Show…. her pet with muscles will follow dutifully…

so.. here comes the unfolding of who is Claudette…. as Dr. O is telling Nathan… “at all cost” do not say a word about…. their past with “Claudette”

it’s all so cutesy cutesy… Sam is “handed” clues… and it all comes out neatly bow tied and why not

it’s all too adorable…. hope we have another barn scene with more hay

Thanks for posting this, Michael! Allowed me to fast forward through the fluff and only watch the awards I cared about. I loved Tyler Christopher’s speech. He seemed genuinely shocked and moved to have won, probably cause everyone assumed it was Tony Geary’s award to win. Very happy for Tyler. He’s been good at GH for so many years, and it’s nice to see him be recognized. Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since he debuted.

Very happy for Bryan Craig as well. He gets a lot of criticism on this site and others, and I never quite understand that. I think he’s grown a lot as an actor since he debuted on the show, and that he really shined with the bi-polar story. Congrats also to Sean Blakemore. That one was a surprise considering how little he was on the show last year, and also to GH alum Mary Beth Evans!

Wonderful to see GH back in the win column again for Best Drama Series. I thought Frank and company did a great job in submitting the two episodes that they did, the obviously fantastic 52nd Anniversary show which I said at the time it aired was gonna get them an Emmy, and a show from December that featured a lot of emotion and wonderful acting. One episode representing the Carlivati era, one episode representing the Passanante/Altman era, the best of both worlds, and everyone gets to share in the award, as it should be.

The only negative I saw with the Emmy broadcast is the band they had playing the soap themes, or whatever that was, with all due respect to whoever was involved, that was cringe worthy. Especially playing the GH theme from like 5 years ago. Just play the theme songs from the actual shows like they’ve done on the Emmys for years. Those are the small details that soap fans like for on a show like this.

Overall I enjoyed it. There were some moments I could have done without (The Talk hosts, the Real hosts).

Loved Obba’s speech. Got teary eyed with Mary Beth and Stephen Nichols. Nicolas B from GH is adorable. Tyler’s speech was great too.

Yay for no commercials. Loved the Muppets. The Lifetime Achievement award was nice and the package of her clips.

Camera crew didn’t always know who to focus on when the nominees were announced.

Jessica gave a nice speech and seems like a nice person. If she’d been like that on Y&R, I would have enjoyed her performance more.

Very nice, appropriate, and heartfelt, genuine speeches by Mary Beth and Tyler–no grandstanding–just sincere. Refreshing indeed!
Re Emmys program: I could have done without the opening with the Muppets–but I understand why they were featured.

Thank you so much Michael for being such a thoughtful, dedicated and may I say excellent Soap journalist, soap news provider, and enthusiast. If it weren’t for your site, I would have nowhere else to go to obtain the most up-to-date soaps information, watch my favorites on the Daytime Emmy this year, watch or hear your in depth interviews with soap actors, view clips and get to express my opinion. There should be an award given for the best go to Soap website. I nominate Michael Fairman’s On Air/On Soaps and you Michael- You should be recognized. I’m sure you love what you do and have so much fun doing it, but let’s face it..you work hard. Thank you for providing us fans with all that you do.

Frank said…”This cast, led by Laura Wright and Maurice Benard…”. Laura, while arguably the best Carly, and a fantastic actress, has been on the show for 11 years, while some others have double or even triple that time. He shouldn’t have mentioned names, especially only two names. He just should have thanked THE CAST….not the cast led by anyone. To choose just two actors in a bloated ensemble cast just reeks of favoritism and narcissism. Sonny and Carly are VERY polarizing characters, and judging by all the fan message boards, the vote is split as to whether the characters are loved or hated. I certainly don’t feel they lead the cast. To me, all their scenes together are fast forward material because I can’t stand either character, as they are both sanctimonious hypocritical blood thirsty mobsters who feel that their lives are more important than anyone else’s. Laura’s luminous presence makes the character of Carly tolerable, for me, but just tolerable. If she had a really dynamic love interest, who was not a murderer or mobster, that would be awesome!! In ALL my years of watching the Emmy Awards, I have never heard such a callous comment by an Executive Producer while accepting an award. Knowing the fragile ego’s of some actors, I predict some ruffled feathers after that comment.

I totally agree with your take on Frank’s comment and about the Sonny and Carly characters.

I cannot believe that Sean Blakemore won for Supporting. I think he was in about 5 shows last year. There should be some kind of minimum screen time requirement in order to get a nomination.
I am happy for Bryan Craig. He completely deserved that award. His work on the bipolar disorder story was great.
The announcer completely mispronounced Gina Tognoni’s name.
Michelle Stafford’s dress was gorgeous! What a beautiful body she has.
Did anyone else notice that Jacob Young was completely trashed while presenting?! He was slurring his words and really had no clue what he was talking about.
How cute were Tyler and Nicholas hugging when Tyler won? Nicholas was adorable at the end when GH won for best show. He was so excited!
The camera did not always know who the nominees were and sometimes focused on the wrong people.
Mary Beth Evans and Stephen Nichols were adorable.
The band or orchestra who was playing the theme songs was pretty amateur. They sounded like a high school band.

GH WIN – Frank Valentini gets a let for 1st WIN

on behalf of the cast LED BY…. Laura Wright and Maurice Benard

SERIOUSLY

egregious error

Right with you on that Patrick. What a put down to all the other actors especially the ones who have been there the longest. .i.e. Leslie,. Jane, Finola.

Television icon, Dick Van Dyke has received his first-ever Daytime Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Guest Performer category for his touching portrayal of Timothy Robicheaux on Peacock’s Days of our Lives. The nomination makes Van Dyke the oldest Daytime Emmy nominee in history at 98-years-old.  In addition, motion picture and TV star, Guy Pearce, is also nominated as Guest Performer for his longtime role as Mike Young in the reboot of Neighbours.

Speaking of Neighbours, the Australian soap opera also received its first ever Daytime Emmy nomination for Daytime Drama Series now that its a revival can be streamed on Amazon Freevee.

In the Daytime Drama series categories, CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless each scored 12 nominations more than any other show. Leading the acting nominations was B&B, who landed 7 performers in the various categories, a first in its 37-year history.

The huge popularity of these shows continues to be must-see viewing for their fans.” NATAS also revealed that Lifetime Achievement Honorees, Hosts, Presenters, and Silver and Gold Circle honorees will be revealed at a later date.

In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.

Congratulations to all the men and women in front of the camera and behind the scenes for their recognition as we take a look at who will be going for gold come June. Here are the nominees below starting with the Daytime Drama Categories.

Days Of Our Lives

Stephen Schnetzer Talks On His Return to Days of our Lives and Working with Susan Seaforth Hayes In Emotional Episodes

Who says you can’t go home again? In the case of Another World favorite, Stephen Schnetzer (ex-Cass Winthrop), he has proven that it is true, and you can go back to your soap roots and where it all started for you.

Last week on April 11th, Schnetzer, along with several other key returns were on set at Days of our Lives taping all-new episodes of the Peacock streaming soap opera, centering on the funeral of Doug Williams (the late Bill Hayes), and as part of the iconic soap opera’s 15,000th episode.

Stephen is reprising his first daytime role as Steve Olson, the brother of Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes). The last time Schnetzer appeared on a DAYS set was during his one and only run on the show from 1978 to 1980. Clearly, viewers will be in for some very emotional scenes when Steve returns to Salem to be there for his sister, Julie in her time of need. In real-life, Susan has been going through her own grief, having just lost Bill back on January 12th at the age of 98.

Michael Fairman TV caught up with Stephen during the 15K episode celebration ceremony, and during a break from taping the gut-wrenching funeral scenes, to get his thoughts on being part of these highly-anticipated moments that will air later this year in December. Here’s what he shared with us below.

What has this been like for you to work with Susan Seaforth Hayes after all of these years?

STEPHEN: She’s a dream and she’s so bright. We ran lines yesterday and we ended up just visiting for about 45 minutes and just catching up and telling tales about each other’s career. She even dropped off the autobiography that she and Bill did. And being back here at DAYS, every time I turn a corner, there’s another familiar face. When I was on the show 40 more years ago, a bunch of the guys, played softball on a team together. This is really a trip down memory lane as I knew it would be.

Photo: JPI

Taping Doug’s funeral must be a hard day for Susan. Are you checking in with her to help hold her up through this?

STEPHEN: I am and I’m checking in with Amy Shaughnessy (Susan’s assistant), and she’s holding her up more than anybody. We’re there for each other.

There will obviously be some major hankie-inducing moments when Steve comes back to Salem to console his sister.

STEPHEN: Oh, wait till you see it in December. It’s going to be great.

Were you surprised you got this call to come back to the show decades later?

STEPHEN: It was out of the blue! I was completely surprised. They should have called me decades ago! That’s what surprised me. When Another World went down, I thought I’d land somewhere else and it never happened. That was more of a surprise.

Photo: JPI

Cass is such an identifiable character for you. As well, you and Linda Dano (ex-Felicia Gallant) are so synonymous together as best friends Cass and Felicia from Another World. When fans heard you were reprising your role as Steve Olson on DAYS, they are now hoping there will be more of you on the show to come.

STEPHEN: Steven Olson is a real “Cassian “character. I cut my teeth on Steve Olson and that’s how Cass was introduced. He was kind of a roguish charmer. And then when the character stuck for Another World, they rehabilitated me, and turned me into one of the shows heroes. And that’s what would’ve happened if I stayed as Steve Olson probably. So, Steve is the ‘pre-Cass’, Cass.

Photo: JPI

As the story goes, you originally decided to leave Days of our Lives?

STEPHEN: I was never on contract. I was doing a day and a half a week and I got a Broadway play directed by Franco Zeffirelli starring Joan Plowright and Frank Finlay. I was able to it as I didn’t have to break a contract or anything. I cut loose and went back to New York for that.

How well did you get to know Bill Hayes during your first time around on DAYS?

STEPHEN: My first episode was with Bill and Susan, as her long lost brother coming into Salem. They were so good to me. They were so kind. I had been doing eight years of classical repertory theater, never been in front of a camera. I tell everybody, it took me longer than any other actor I’ve ever seen to get comfortable in front of a camera. And they were very supportive at that time in my career. Coming back to honor Bill now in 2024, and to be see Susan, I am just so happy to be here.

Looking forward to seeing the scenes between Stephen and Susan Seaforth Hayes come December and Doug’s funeral and surrounding episodes? Do you hope that DAYS might bring the character of Steve Olson back for a longer stay? Comment below.
