52nd Annual Daytime Emmys: Daytime Drama Series Nominees
Ahead of Thursday’s full list of nominations for the upcoming 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, some of the major categories were announced on Wednesday via several syndicated television entertainment/news programs including: Entertainment Tonight, Extra and Access Hollywood.
NATAS (National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences) will unveil the rest of the nominations on Thursday at 12 pm ET/9 am PT via their account on X @TheEmmys or @TheEmmysTV.
Meanwhile, Access Hollywood had the exclusive to reveal the nominees in the Outstanding Daytime Drama Series category, which saw only 3 nominees make in through. It should be noted that nominations for the 52nd annual Daytime Emmy Awards are for shows and performances in the 2024 calendar year. Therefore, CBS’ newest soap opera, Beyond the Gates, was not eligible as it had not premiered yet, but will be in the competition in 2026 at the 53rd annual Daytime Emmys.

And now, here are the nominees for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series:

The Young and the Restless
In 2024, General Hospital took home the gold for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series and holds the record with 17 Daytime Emmy wins in this category. Days of our Lives has won the award four times, the last time being in 2018 at the 45th annual Daytime Emmy awards. The Young and the Restless had won in this category 11 times.

Stay tuned for an update when we reveal what episodes each soap opera submitted that landed them a nod for the biggest award come Emmy night.
So, what do you think of DAYS, GH and Y&R being in the running for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series at this year’s Daytime Emmys? Who are you rooting for to win? Comment below.
I’d love to see Days get it.
Y&R will probably win again even though they don’t deserve it.
GH was somewhere in between.
Me too!!!
Hilarious to me that The Bold and the Beautiful did not get nominated; hoping the Academy is trying to make a point to Bradley Bell that he has sunk this soap beyond repair.
I am angered Neighbours did not earn a well-deserved nomination, as their 2024 episodes held some powerful performances and storytelling.
Thank goodness #Bold didn’t get any noms for lead and drama series.
I know, right? My immediate reaction upon seeing the nominees in this category was to snicker and think “Gee, how must it feel to be Bradley Bell this morning?”
I guess they forgot all about BB on all three categories, wow!
General Hospital of course.
I’m SHOCKED and indignant that Beyond Them Gates didn’t receive a nomination for the Greatest Show On The History of the World!!! What are those Emmy peeps thinking!!!!!
Beyond the Gates is not eligible for nomination in any category because the show started in February 2025. In order to be eligible for nomination, the show/episode airdate has to occurred some time in between January – December 2024. Beyond the Gates will be eligible for nomination at next year’s Emmys.
It wasn’t eligible. Next year. I bet several of the performers will be presenting. It’s a great show, huh?
Dottie, BTG is not eligible for this year since they weren’t on the air last year. They will be eligible NEXT year for material that they aired this year.
Dottie is being sarcastic. She’s been picking on Beyond the Gates since it first aired. And substituting”the” with “ them” is not a typo, it’s willful as she keeps doing it. Seems she’s a bit obsessed with this new soap. Gee, I wonder what it is about Beyond the Gates that threatens Dottie so?
Hmmmmm, yes I wonder????
They didn’t make the deadline and couldn’t be considered based on when it started airing. The will be eligible next year.
It wasn’t eligible.
They’re hot eligible until next year. These are awards for 2024.
Considering BTG didn’t exist for the period that the Emmys covers, it seems pretty appropriate that it’s not nominated. And the “Greatest Show On The History of the World”? Come on now.
If you read the article, you would have seen it was eligible for nomination this year.
BTG is not eligible this year since it started in February. They will get nominations next year because they’ve been heating up with storylines and excellent acting!
They’re not eligible until next year.
what drug are u on?
You guys are giving her to much credit. She always has something nasty/politically incorrect to say about Beyond the Gates. Next year, I am sure you will see the cast and crew nominated in major categories. I can’t wait!
Posthumous awards as it will be cancelled by then
Wishful thinking on your part?
Whatever you say. Dottie.
Thank you, Lewis. I recognize her name from way back when Beyond the Gates was being premiered. She’s very preoccupied with it.
Hey Michael your off on the number of wins for Best show, Love GH but they’ve only won in this category 17 times not 26, but they still hold the record for wins in that category, YR is at 11 not 8 an Dool was at 4, you got that number right.
Beyond the Gates was in February 2025, It can not qualify this year. Voting ending before their premiere
The post says 17 times for GH. Where do you see 26?
his original posting, clearly he saw my posting and corrected the numbers.
Of course there’s a gh pic hopefully days will win What’s with the bold snubs because the weakest honestly was yandr
There’s a DAYS pic too
I love GH! That’s who I’m rooting for, but if DAYS wins I’m fine with that. Not a fan of Y&R!
In case you were wondering why Beyond the Gates didn’t get a single nod. Read this:
I want General Hospital to win yet again – it will be five years in a row if it does win. I honestly think it was the best for 2024.
GH is my fave show but i hated 2024 because of all the people they let go, but they did have a few highlights and considering its only 2 shows that have to be submited, they wont have a problem finding two, now will they pick the right two? , who knows.
Days should win. I watch all three of these soaps and Days is the best of the three consistently.
I have a feeling that General Hospital will probably win again for best daytime drama you never know
How could colleen zenk be ignored for geust star? How could bold not receive any noms in acting lead and supporting.It is so stupid that bold is not nominated for best show.Who is the lifetime achievement winner,it better be Deidre Hall.Three of the courtroom shows, nominated are actors recreating cases.How can they be called legal.Who are the silver circle winners.?Who is going to air this show?
I do NOT want to see GH do a 5peat. I hope DAYS win with the death of Doug Williams!
Ironically, most of Days best material over the last few years is based around the death of long time cast members. First Victor, then Doug, and most recently John Black.
Aside from that, there’s been a lot of mindless filler material. Nurse WIGley. The dumbest serial killer ever (the chick who won some sort of fan club contest to get the part, or whatever it was). ReRon using the tragic deaths to introduce pointless characters like Konstipated & Little Dougie. And worst of all, that complete waste of time “soap within a soap” that they wasted months trying to shove down our collective throats.
So because of that, it’s hard for me to see Days as the best soap overall. If they do the 60th anniversary right, they might have a better shot at it next year.
Not to say that GH hasn’t also had its problems in 2024. They had 666 writer changes with all kinds of schizo writing directions as a result. Some (though unfortunately not all) of that has finally stabilized, but that would be within the 2025 eligibility.
Y&R doesn’t air down here in Hell, so I can’t comment on that. But from what I read here and elsewhere, they seem to be having some writing issues as well.
So… in a “lesser of evils” contest… it’s probably going to be GH again.
We might have dueling memorial episodes submitted. DAYS for Doug and GH for Bobbie.
As I said in another post, I’ll get interested in the “Outstanding Daytime Drama” category again when they make it a possibility for the announcer to say, “And this year’s award goes to . . . no show; the Academy has elected not to give an award in this category this year.” To watch any of them get the award when they’re so much less than they could be, just because they’re, well, how shall we put it, the least mediocre one in the bunch is uninteresting at best. Someday–maybe–the corporate owners will back off and let the creative folks do what they know how to do, and then this category might become relevant once again.
Well said. I’m rather apathetic about the Daytime Emmys specifically for the reason you state.
I am still processing the absence of The Bold and the Beautiful in the Daytime Drama category. I do think it the weakest overall of the four legacy soaps. It looks good but is so empty of compelling and clever storytelling. But I do wonder if bestowing awards within a such a small pool of possibles to be worth doing. It sure was different when 12 or more program were in contention.
I wonder about the absence of any B&B actors in the leading/featured categories. Daytime drams awards are challenging as they are episode specific — right? — and we as viewers consider the overall product. I also do not understand why actors must submit themselves for honors. That to me means someone very worthy who remains outside the fire is forgotten and allows a weaker field.
This year is odd with the calendar year 2024 being the award period and the trophies are not given until October. Might the Academy adjust the nomination window going forth?
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.

In what could prove to be a massive shake-up ahead, both the TV Academy (ATAS), who presides over the Primetime Emmys, and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), who preside over the Daytime Emmys, are in exploratory reunification discussions to merge the two organizations into one.
Both sides received an overwhelming vote and support from their boards to evaluate what a unified Academy could look like. However there is no formal calendar at this juncture for the discussions. In addition, because of the ongoing unification talks that should occur, the TV Academy board has voted to extend all current sitting Governors’ terms by one year so they can see the process through.
Boards at both organizations voted overwhelmingly to evaluate what a unified Academy could make possible: a strong vision for the Academy’s future, more effective thought leadership for the industry, broader service and support for members coast-to-coast, and new momentum and opportunities across the full complement of national Emmy competitions.

AFTER NEARLY 50 YEARS, CAN THE EMMYS BE UNDER ONE BANNER?
In a joint statement, ATAS and NATAS shared, “Television remains the most powerful medium we have to shape culture and prompt conversations that define us—no matter the size of the screen, With the business of television undergoing such a monumental transformation, this is the right moment to explore a reunification of our Academies, providing our members and our industry with a bolder voice advocating for them and a stronger partner to navigate the future with them.”
If the reunification talks continue, this would be the first time since the two Emmy organizations split back on June 30, 1977 that they have tried to come together, all of this after almost three decades of often uneasy and strained tension between the two.
The most recent joint change came in 2022 when a move of the game show categories went from NATAS to ATAS’ and now are in the Primetime Emmys.
Deadline notes that a unification of the two television academies who overall preside over nighttime and daytime programming would be similar how SAG and AFTRA used to represent performers from completely different dayparts of work.
Could the Daytime Emmys finally see some love in primetime and have their major categories televised as part of the annual kudofest every September? Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony will take place live on Monday, September 14th starting at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT and air on NBC and stream on Peacock emanating from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. While, the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards will take place on Friday, October 30, time to be announced, live from the Hollywood Palladium and will be streamed on watchtheemmys.tv
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) is a service organization dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of television and the promotion of creative leadership for artistic, educational and technical achievements within the television industry. It recognizes excellence in television with the coveted Emmy Awards for News & Documentary, Sports, Daytime and Children’s & Family programming, as well as achievements in television Technology & Engineering.
The Television Academy (ATAS) strives to shape and advance the dynamic television landscape; cultivate a diverse, inclusive and accessible professional community; and advocate for the television industry while capturing the spirit of a new generation of content creators and industry professionals. Through innovative programs, publications and events, the Academy and its Foundation foster and empower storytellers. The Academy also celebrates those who excel in the industry recognizing their achievements through awards and accolades, including the renowned Emmy Award. Membership in the Academy is open to working professionals in the television industry.
So, would you like to see the Primetime Emmy and the Daytime Emmys fold into one show if the two unions reached a unification arrangement? Do you hope that after almost 50 years, the two organizations can finally make some serious headway? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
