The 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on Sunday May 1st. The biggest award of the night is always which soap opera will win for Outstanding Drama Series. This year all four daytime dramas have made it to the final round.
In the rules for the Drama Series category each hour-long drama submits two episodes. However, because B&B is only a half hour, they can submit four episodes for contention, which gives them roughly the same amount of total airtime for judging.
Below we can reveal the episode numbers and airdates and main storyline points contained within their submissions. Read on to find out what your favorite soaps chose to represent themselves in the competion.
The Bold and the Beautiful: episodes#7079 & #7080 airdates 5/18 and 5/19/2015, and episodes #7138 & #7139 airdates: 8/10 & 8/11/2015

Unlike the hour soaps, because B&B is only a half hour, they can submit four episodes for contention which gives them roughly the same amount of total airtime for judging. For their first submission, B&B chose the episode where Maya discloses her truth to Rick … that she is transgender. Waiting for him to walk out on her, he does the opposite and tells her he loves her. Meanwhile, Bill is ready to make a tabloid spectacle out of finding out Maya was born a man. In their second submission, it’s Maya’s wedding day to Rick, and Julius and Maya have it out in front of the wedding party in what was to be the happiest day of her life, as Maya’s father refuses to accept Maya for who she is.

For their daytime drama submissions, Days of our Lives chose the episode where after Abigail’s harrowing experience with serial killer Ben, she is face-to-face with him at the Salem police station in the interrogation room, desperately trying to find out where he took her newborn son. Ben, who has been arrested, has clearly had a break from reality at this point. Abby tells the police the reason Ben killed so many loved ones in Salem. Meanwhile, Hope has kidnapped Dr. Malcolm in hopes of getting information on who is responsible for Bo’s capture which led him to his ultimate death. In the second episode: it’s the Salem bicentennial celebration at the Martin mansion, and following Aiden and Hope’s wedding. Caroline is in the hospital pleading with Kayla to realize that she did receive a call from Bo. Meanwhile, Bo and Steve finally make it back to Salem, only to find out that Hope just married Aiden. Meanwhile, as Hope and Aiden spend the night together as newlyweds, and as the bicentennial celebration fireworks bring everyone closer together, Aiden is planning on murdering his bride.
General Hospital: episodes #13274 airdate: 4/01/2015, and #13458 airdate: 12/22/2015

For their daytime drama series submissions, General Hospital went with the black and white, to color 52nd anniversary episode which reveals the truth of Luke Spencer’s childhood. Luke comes to the long-buried truth that he is responsible for the deaths of his mother Lena, and his despicable father Tim Spencer. For their second reel, GH chose the Nutcracker gala drama which featured several stories including: Nikolas and Jason’s fight in which Nikolas goes over the balcony, Patrick finally seeing Robin and rescuing her from Jerry Jaks, Sabrina telling Michael that Carlos is her baby’s father, and Sam revealing to Jason she broke her engagement off with Patrick, and Elizabeth realizing she lost the man she loved due to her deception.
The Young and the Restless: episodes #10768 airedate: 10/05/2015, and #10769 airdate: 10/06/2015

In their submission with back-to-back episodes, Y&R chose the fallout of the Adam reveal with Chelsea telling Billy and Victoria. … Gabriel Bingham is Adam. Meanwhile, Phyllis is telling Victor and Jack that Gabriel is Adam, as news spreads in Genoa City that Adam is indeed alive. However, Jack has known for quite some time! At the Underground, Sage admits her part in her scheme with Gabriel/Adam cover-up to Nick. Adam then had a confrontation with Billy, and then Victor shows up and punches Adam. In the pickup episode: Adam and Victor finally have their long-awaited moment that has been brewing for over a year. At Delia’s roadside memorial, Billy talks to his beloved daughter about Adam and that he swears to make him pay. Victoria arrives and assures Billy there will be justice.

GH should have this one in the bag! That anniversary episode was stellar!
Without a doubt;
General Hospital the black and white 52nd anniversary episode which reveals the truth of Luke Spencer’s childhood..
It is truly noted as the best episode to be archived as the best of the best..
It was indeed, phenomenal.. It will never be forgotten ..
52nd anniversary show should NOT WIN–it sullied a great legacy, a once-great character, and a once-great show.
The Young and the Restless should be the winner of Outstanding Drama Series. Bring it home Y&R!!!!!!
Highly doubt it Joe, Y&R didn’t have a good “year” even with the plane crash among everything else I don’t see them take it this year, Days or GH on the other Hnad have it in the Bag. PRatt doesn’t need to win or JFP
All that will be judged is the episodes submitted. Nothing else in the year will matter at all.
What was Days thinking?? They will never win with those episodes. There were so many other back to back episodes in the fall that were outstanding on all counts. Corday never learns. GH won’t win because the second pick is a shadow of the the quality of the first pick. It’s a race between BB and YR. And I think BB will get it this year because of the controversial story and how well it was done. YR should also win. I’d do a tie. GH Anniv episode should get a special award; it is in a class by itself.
” Tony ” YES ! I thought the same thing… WHAT there they thinking in choosing these eps did they have to pick and choose around any and all violence??? was my only thought MORE to the POINT : “…There were so many other back to back episodes in the fall that were outstanding on all counts. ” I clearly “thought” DAYS had in in the bag… till I read their submissions last night there is ONE ep… that I thought was so spot on… so well done so well crafted… and it was the scenes when Ben tells Clyde… Read more »
Right on–“much ado about nothing.”
While the Fluke storyline is definitely not my favorite, the 52 Anniversary on GH would be my vote for it’s originality and ensemble cast.
Hands down: Maya disclosing to Rick she was a Transgender woman and Rick embracing her that he loves her. Bold and the beautiful.
2nd choice under Bold would be GH: Flashback to Luke being a child and accidently killing his mother. The balcony scene I don’t think was a strong scene. But the Patrick seeing once again Robin alive was a show stopping scene.
I think there was too much camp in the scene with Patrick and Robin. Cheez Whiz.
Will this be televised?
No.
well… in the latest SOD issue… their is an article, from NATAS
nat’l arts television and sciences… which is a nonprofit organization. and they footed the bill for last years emmys @ POP network
just couldn’t do it this year…. but… NATAS WILL BE RECORDING the show… they have to
so it can go in their archives …
they did state: they will put on the internet… all the acceptance speeches.
No. But producers are trying to get it streamed online.
I read they will record it and it will be available later, after the show.
Oh god………………this looks like GH’s year! I HOPE NOT!
Y&R comes close!
Don’t think B&B nor DAYS will win!
I see days or GH or even B&B winning it, Y&R NO way sorry Pratt and JFP have made the show terrible
It wasn’t all terrible! No, I don’t see DAYS winning!
Come to think of it……….B&B did submit their best reel!
I see B&B winning along with Days IMO, Y&R no the writing has been all over the place plus nothing is moving.
Still don’t see DAYS winning.
B&B has the best Reel. Hoping GH doesn’t win. I still wouldn’t count out Y&R
IA B&B is a shoe in no doubt it, Y&R i don’t see them winning this year. Don’t count out Days Yet, you never know stranger things have happened.
Well, let’s just agree to disagree then! 🙂 🙂
GH-for me….i liked the flashback episode…next is Days
I think B&B.
Days…a lot of quality acting. No gimmicks. Nothing except a could be real story and a mom trying to do the best she can with a psycho to find her baby!
B&B but a B&B/GH tie would be nice too.
Days was the most consistent and deserves to win, but based on these reels I would pick B&B over GH. Days submitted poorly imo. GH has a great first episode but a too busy second one. All four of the B&B episodes are superb. Y&R chose odd episodes imo…. I def. think the two losing shows from last year are the likely winners this year, with the edge to B&B.
yeah no matter that my choices ; of course, DAYS for the WIN GH because I watch the darned show… argh! i’ll go with @Rhonda for the gimmick… just knowing it’s a celebratory “laud” farewell to Anthony Geary… let’s be done with him DAYS was so consistent driven and APB from all of last August throughout December. THIS WAS DAYS to lose… and for all intent… from the submitted eps… argh! GH fans are lauding that black and white ep… i’d rather see GH win over Y&R have to say…. since B&B can submit 4 shows… and for the content… Read more »
GH may have just screwed themselves out of winning by not submitting the follow up episode to the 52nd anniversary show as their second submission. There were some amazing dramatic scenes with the Spencer siblings in Luke, Bobbie, and Patricia in their old family home. It also ended with a truly heartbreaking scene with Patricia passing away in her wheelchair and Val crying over her dead mother as Carly tried to console her. I can’t beleive they didn’t go with those back to to back episodes cause they would’ve been a lock to win. B&B is now probably gonna take… Read more »
Hey Jay:
Very good catch – I spoke to a GH rep today and in fact the slate submitted for the reel was its original planned airdate of 12/21/15, BUT it was pre-empted and therefore it aired on 12/22/15, but the airdate #13458 remains the same.
Best,
Michael
To you, Michael Fairman–bless you for all the work and the columns and the enthusiasm you put forth in support of the shows and of us–the devoted fans.
Thanks so very much! 🙂
Days episodes were good directing not overall drama series. I would pick the episode were bo save hope from aiden and the episode were bo dies in hope arms. It’s looks like B&B will win this one.
Although I liked those episodes, they weren’t the best DAYS episodes to submit. They should’ve submitted two episodes that aired back to back and it’s crazy to submit a second episode that originally aired before the first.
Better luck next year, DAYS!
I sure hope Y&R doesn’t win. That will only encourage the writers to continue writing those horrible, boring storylines that make no sense. They have changed the characters so much that they are unrecognizable..
GH’s 50th Anniversary episode was great — it was Ron Carlivati — but the Nutcracker gala left much to be desired so I think the unevenness between the two episodes will tip the vote in Y&R’s favor.
My vote Goes to GH, Superb Classic Black and White Episode.
O.M.G. This one was easy General Hospital 52 Anniversary. B & B 2nd. with the transgender reveal story.
I loved GH’s Anniversary episode, but I am not sure anyone can compete with what B&B submitted (and I am not a B&B fan!) I think what Days submitted was okay, but why not use the episode where Bo found out he was dying? I do think GH brought it over DAYS this year and I felt the exact opposite last year. I really want to see GH win, but my gut says it will go to B&B!
Why didn’t Days go with the episodes where Bo dies– that scene with him dying in Hopes arms as the snow begins to fall were beautiful and more what the show is about than these other episodes– oh well. GH had to submit something with the new writers because if they won with just RC stuff that would be egg on their face because they fired him. Right now I am leaning towards B&B to take the category– those were all very strong episodes, but the Adam fall out is the type of story that has kept Y&R at number… Read more »
days is awful and doesn’t deserve anything except Mary Beth was great
GH all the way! The 52nd Anniversary show was one of the best episodes they’ve done in a long time. The acting (Tony Geary, Joey Luthman as young Luke, whomever the actress was that played young Patricia, Laura Wright, Dee Wallace, such tremendous acting from top to bottom), the writing, the production with the black and white look, everything was top notch. For the voters that might feel that episode was too gimmicky, they also submitted a solid episode from the J&S regime, which I think shows good balance and variety in the type of material presented. Admittedly, I don’t… Read more »
B&B. Enough said.
Y & R all the way!
I notice Days, Gh and B&B all have guest stars in their reels

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Marlena Becomes Possessed … Again!
On Tuesday’s episode of Days of our Lives, the devil had his way with his favorite person, Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall)! In story, leave it to Marlena to save Doug (Bill Hayes) by giving herself up to Satan!
As Doug revealed himself to be Satan while in a therapy session with Marlena in her office, a shook Marlena tries to comprehend what is happening! When the devil says if Marlena won’t accept him in, she will punish Doug, he does just that.

Poor Doug is left writhing in pain and on the floor, crying out for help! When we come back to the scene Marlena is not exactly right near his body, but sort of overlooking what is happening. Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) rushes into Marlena’s office to find Doug as Marlena stares blankly. Eventually, she calls for help.
After Doug is put in a hospital room and is monitored, Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) and Tripp (Lucas Adams) can’t find anything wrong with him. Meanwhile, Julie finds Marlena at the nurses station and asks what happened with Doug during their therapy session. Marlena flashes back to what led to Doug writing on the floor, and clearly something is way off with Marlena, because she has now become possessed.
Later, Julie sits by Doug’s hospital bed as he opens his eyes, as he tells his beloved wife, “He left me and went in to her.” A confused Julie is left to ponder what on earth Doug could be talking about.
When Marlena comes home to John (Drake Hogestyn) – who is already concerned with Johnny (Carson Boatman) being set on making a movie of Sami’s life story which includes points on Marlena’s original possession – she tells him Doug collapsed in her office. When the two hug, Marlena slowly opens her eyes revealing that they are glowing yellow. Yup! We are off to the races. Marlena is now once again possessed.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Deidre Hall and Bill Hayes? Are you enjoying the revisiting of the infamous ‘possession’ storyline thus far? Comment below.

Ron Carlivati Talks on the Creation, Scenes & Cast of ‘Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem’
Last week viewers saw all five episodes of the limited-series Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem drop on Peacock. It was the first foray for the long-running NBC daytime drama series onto a streaming platform with an original self-contained story, in a move that is forward-thinking, and another avenue for soaps to be seen on and to keep the genre remaining relevant in the pop culture of today.
The head writer of Days of our Lives’ Ron Carlivati was also in charge of the overall story and direction and development of the creative of the limited-series, and following the initial streaming of all five episodes talked with Michael Fairman for in-depth look at the scenes, the moments and the casting of “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem”, exclusively on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel.
Photo: JPI
During the conversation, Carlivati explained the impetus for bringing back Lisa Rinna to her signature role as Billie Reed, how the writing team created the parody of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills infamous “Amsterdam'” scene which featured Rinna and Eileen Davidson (Kristen/Sister Mary Moira) who also returned for the DAYS limited-series, and why they felt it was important to bring Davidson back to the roles she originated for the streamer.
Photo: JPI
In addition, Ron shares details of what went into the decision to recast the role of Sonny Kiriakis for the series with Zach Tinker, after Freddie Smith did not return for it, the casting of Peter Porte in his dual role as ISA agent Kyle Graham and bad guy Dimitri Von Leuschner, how the hilarious drag show scenes came to fruition, and how the decision was made to have Deidre Hall do the voiceover in the opening title sequence, plus his thoughts on the performances of the stellar cast.

Watch the chat with Ron below, and in case you missed it, our chat with cast members: Eileen Davidson, Peter Porte, Charles Shaughnessy, Zach Tinker and Rob Scott Wilson … and if you haven’t check out “Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem” its continuing to stream on Peacock.
