The revamped and retooled The View has its season premiere on Monday morning, September 15th, on ABC. With a new executive producer in tow, a new studio home, a new look, and a brand new mash-up of co-hosts, can The View return to glory and enchant the viewers?
Whoopi Goldberg is the only remaining co-host from last season, and she will be joined by the returning Rosie O’Donnell, and first time panelists; Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace! Just the other day the first group photo of the new The View gals was released (pictured here).
As well in some recent electronic press interviews, O’Donnell revealed one of her reasons to returning to the fold: “What drew me back was the opportunity to work with Whoopi Goldberg. I have admired her since I saw her in her first one-woman show, back when we were both younger and less gray.” Rosie also offered up who’s trulu the brains of the new panel: “Nicolle is much smarter I ever will be. She probably would kick my ass on the SATs.”
Nicolle Wallace offered up: “I’d love to hear what my co-hosts think about this country maybe having to do something to protect ourselves from these new terrorists Isis. I think people want to hear what Rosie O’Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie Perez think about things.”
So are you interested in hearing what the four ladies have to say about numerous topics each morning? Do you think this configuration will be a success? Are you going to check the revamped line-up? Let us know!
lol!!!
yuck!
I have watched the view for about 10 minutes at different times..
It is noisy lol … they just talk about nonsense stuff.. ..
It was a bit horrible when they all laugh once at at each other.. LOUD!
I do not like it .. It is meaningless ..
I’m sure others enjoy it, but not for me ..
Rosie looks great! I will give it a chance as I have not watched this show in years.
This show is heading down the tubes and lost its freshness long ago. It seems like this is sort of a last ditch effort to save it. Honestly, how many times can the panelists, who always talk at the same time over each other, be changed on this show before most people are turned off of it?
Rosie O’Donnell, again? No thanks. I couldn’t care less what that overbearing loudmouth thinks about anything. She wore out her welcome years ago on her former daytime talk show.
Agreed – she’s totally obnoxious –
this show has had it – if ABC had half a brain they would bring back
a combo of ONE LIFE TO LIVE with overtones of ALL MY CHILDREN –
That’s what they should do, not this crap –
Why on earth they would rehire Rosie O’Donnell is beyond me! The way she acted in that infamous show of her argument with Elisabeth Hasselbeck should have closed the View door to any return ever!
I also expect her to butt heads with Whoopie. When Rosie was on previously, she was the moderator (in control of the conversation); she won’t want to take a backseat to Whoopie. I’m no fan of Whoopie either. Whoopie always makes sure Whoopie gets her points across and routinely cuts off the other panelists, particularly if they disagree with her. Whoopie also loves to play devil’s advocate and often promotes bizarre reasoning. Rosie won’t stand for this. I can see the split screens now…
The way Rosie acted? Listen, it’s TPTB from ABC who split the screen who are the real culprits here. They exploited the heck out of the fight between those two women while playing it for it is worth.
Rosie is great, she looks great after losing the weight and today she seemed like she was trying real hard to tone it down. Whoopi also looked great and is always a sight for sore eyes. They paid a very touching homage to Joan Rivers and spoke of Robin Williams.
I don’t watch The View but will try and tune in from time to time because I really adore both Whoopi and Rosie.
Anyone who argues with Elizabeth Hasselbeck is okay by me. Go Rosie!
Hi, James. I get what you are saying, but everyone deserves a second chance. As you have indicated, O’Donnell had a ‘beef’ with Elizabeth. They never did mesh. I like Rosie O and also like Rosie P. So, it remains to be seen…I hope it is all for the good.
I am beyond happy to see Whoopi stay put. I love her so much…what a delight to listen to her no-nonsense comments….she is both honest and diplomatic…..and, lest I forget; her humor never gets old or mundane. If anyone can keep order in ‘the court’ that is the view, it is Whoopi. I will always be, along with my Mom and Gran, a loyal fan…..I love you, Whoopi.
I am embarrassed to say that I have never heard of Nicole Wallace. Should I have? I wish her and all the ladies the best VIEW season ever.
The View is so bland now. Hot topics is so annoying, it sounds like a public service announcement.
They’re just trying out their sea legs, Lou. It felt a little awkward but they’ll get there.
I think Whoopi is very sad about losing her very dear friend Robin Williams and she is just trying to hold it together. It can’t be easy for her.
Bland? Is that why a certain ‘TALK’ show mimics it?…. Down to the number of hosts (originally 5) to sitting at ‘THE’ table.
At least, there is always one panelist with a little more education than the school of Black Sabbath.
These talk shows are full of narcissistic hypocrites who pretend their behavior and lives are much fuller and honest than the people they’re gossiping about. I’ll stick with Oprah, at least I know she’s coming from a good place.
The only place Oprah comes from is narcissism. She’s the worst of them all.
Oprah is an open book and far from narcissistic. There’s nothing wrong with having pride in your accomplishments, she went from nothing to a self made billionaire without stepping on any toes and she has always treated people with the upmost respect. These talk shows, news shows and radio shows believe humiliating people, gossiping, talking over one another and making assumptions about someone’s personal life based on tabloid rumors is entertainment.
Tyler…it is called entertainment…some of us like it, some of us don ‘t. That ‘s not to say I don’t miss Oprah…I love her to the hilt. But, she’s one of a kind and she is hard to compare to any other. There are a chosen few in this world….she is one of them.
I LOVE THE VIEW. By the same token, you are entitled to your opinion……let’s not call the kettle black….who is narcissistic ?
A bunch of cackling hens talking over each other. I will only watch (on you tube) for the inevitable bitch-fight between Rosie O and Whoopi. You know it’s coming!
I watched for awhile and then had to stop.There is no chemistry anymore.I felt so bad for whoppi.The show is horrible.
Well I just finished watching it, as I taped it only for curiosity… it was dull and boring. A lot of forced happy smiles… I absolutely cannot imagine this show going past this year.
They called it the new view, and the craziest thing was it opened by kissing Barbara Walters hand as she was seated in a throne, as the Queen. It was absolutely ridiculous! Whoopis face during that was hilarious, you gotta watch that just for the laugh! Can you even imagine? LOL!
ABC better get ready to find another replacement.
On another note, I also taped the first 2 shows of Meredith V’s new show and found it very lackluster. I liked Meredith, I think she is a genuine good hearted person, but I don’t think she will carry a show. I know it is still new and I don’t think it’s fair to prejudge, but I watched 2 shows last week ( hello DVR) and won’t be tuning in again.
I like to put these shows on while I am making dinner after work but I was not at all engaged, just noise. Sorry Meredith. 🙁
Quit watching Years ago. All they would ever do is scream and talk over each other. Plus I can NOT stand Rosie Odonnel! I got grass to watch grow instead of watch that!
We live in a world where Rosie O’Donnell is on abc daytime and Erika Slezak is not. That’s sad.
they need to get hack to the around the table… like adults and talk it out
that seating setup was too much posturing…. staid… polite… and formal
I don’t expect to see cat fights…..
all the producers have to do is watch the talk.. and get that their 4 personalities manage quite well around the table in a close knit fit
Whoopie, Rose P., and Rosie O… have wonderful personalities to share….
just cut to the chase and leap forward
I also thought the set was too bright and colorful…
if that’s the case… go with it…. enliven spar… shared whit… and just enjoying how easy it would be to enjoy their personalities…..
I like The Talk. That’s an example of four women with sometimes differing opinions/perspectives who manage to discuss it while being fun, funny and entertaining. For the most part a very feel-good show.
By contrast, I detested The View…opinionated, judemental, sometimes racist, sometimes anti-semitic…very combative.
Why is this story even on this soap related website. I don’t care…
BUT — it would have been nice if ABC would have spent actual advertising dollars on the soaps. Maybe the audience wouldn’t have disappeared.. Just wish this show would vanish…
As mentioned above I watched The View on off hours years ago. Started off good…degenerated quickly. I tuned in to see the new panel and for me, it’s not working. It’s uncomfortable…they’re trying so hard to not argue that it’s awkward. However, I saw a glimpse of what’s to come and I don’t like it. Example:
The woman with the Republican point of view, Nicole Wallace, said she felt Joe Biden worked well with others because he genuinely liked people. Obama didn’t work well with others because she feels he doesn’t like people.
Rosie O’Donnell’s response? (And I’m paraphrasing…)
“So when Kanye West said that Bush didn’t like black people that became an international incident. Why is it okay for you to say Obama doesn’t like people?”
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy make the Wallace statement a race issue!? She didn’t say Pres. Obama didn’t like white people…she said people. Instead of digging a little further to hear why she felt that way…Rose throws the race card out and then they cut to another topic.
I find that kind of “discussion” infuriating. Won’t be tuning in…not even during insomniac nights OnDemand…
It is just as bad when a certain panelist on THE TALK makes cultural slurs against Italians. My mother-in-law, who is Italian-born was so upset, she called the network in California. Of course, nothing was done about it because Julie Chen’s husband is the producer of that show.
I live in Suffolk County, NY….which includes Southampton…..a lot of gossip circulates in these small communities.I had already stopped watching when Leah Remini and Holly Robinson were fired…..two reasons why I started watching in the first place….all because of behind-the-scenes politics.
My point? It is the same anywhere and everywhere. I have yet to hear anything untoward come out of Whoopi’s mouth. I love her and respect her and I will keep watching.
I turned off Whoopi on several occasions: one when she resented non smokers having a problem with her smoking in her apartment building. I can tell you…smoke travels. She was quite selfish about it…also didn’t like the fact that smokers couldn’t smoke in restaurants, etc. I am ADAMANTLY against smoking…and I thought it was great when the law went into effect that smokers couldn’t smoke in the workplace, restaurants, bars, etc. It is the right of people to breathe healthy air; if smokers want to inhale cancer-causing substances they should gather together and live in the same building, go to the same restaurants, etc…and smoke each other out. NOW that she stopped smoking…she supposedly doesn’t like smoke.
She defended Mel Gibson’s anti-semitic film and rants. I’m not sure she would have felt the same way had he made racially charged statements and a film.
Lost a lot of my respect for her then. On top of that, each time someone speaks and she doesn’t agree she puts her eyes up in her head and gives a look to the audience…and shouts anyone down as if her wise opinion is the only correct one.
Shame; have always loved her films. Great actress/comedienne. Too opinionated for my taste.
Of course I agree with you, rebecca. No one in my family smokes. Well, I need to back up……my sister and her husband started puffing on these ‘fake’ things….drives me up the wall….not cool. So, I understand, albeit Whoopi has stopped smoking, or so she says. She makes me laugh, and honestly I needed that….I went to hell and back during my pregnancy…I thank God for a healthy baby.
The other stuff, I seem to be oblivious to it. I have never heard Whoopi support Mel Gibson…..surprising, since I think he’s not all there. I did not watch much TV (usually caught up at night). I was on bed rest for almost my entire pregnancy….so, I became addicted to TV, mainly daytime …..I was so bored…my Mom spoils me…..I am the baby…lol…I normally live a pretty busy life…..work, home, family….soon I will get back to that. Maternity leave is almost over…..
To be honest, I am very surprised about Whoopi. She sounds so altruistic and fair on THE VIEW.
But, as I said, I would rather watch THE VIEW than the hypocrisy and bloated egos congregating on THE TALK. There is so much I would like to say about a certain Brit, but, I must hold my tongue, n’est-ce pas?
Hi CeeCee…so funny running into you “here” instead of over “there.” LOL!
So sorry you had a difficult pregnancy and congratulations on your baby!
I’m surprised at your impressions of The Talk. I didn’t notice anything offensive…but we all notice different things depending on our sensitivities.
As for Mrs. O…I do believe you can say whatever you want about Sharon…I won’t tell. 😉
I find her very blunt, crude yet entertaining. She’s also a hypocrite. I remember how she made dreadful fun of Susan Boyle. Do you know who she is? She won Britain’s Got Talent…very beautiful opera-type voice but unfortunately not very physically attractive. Mrs. O was on a radio show and proceeded to make fun of her looks…oh my gawd…she was ragging on her and laughing hilariously with the male dj’s at poor Susan’s expense…
Kicker is…Sharon’s had a lot of plastic surgery and used to be very overweight. Of all people she should have been sensitive to Susan. But I’m thinking it came from insecurity. She’s so happy with how she looks now…and was reveling in being accepted by the dj’s…that it made her feel good…I can almost understand it psychologically and think she didn’t even do it with malicious intent…but still, it was disgraceful and I haven’t forgotten that when I see her. Moreso…because on The Talk she acts so appalled if someone puts down another woman, etc…as if she never said what she said.
But I digress…never heard her say anthing about Italians. The show seems so goodnatured to me and they never talk about race or religion; if sensitive subjects come up it’s handled very well and without anger/accusations/antagonism…
And no, I don’t think you need to hold your tongue on such matters! Speak away!!! 😉
Hi CeeCee,
I just wanted to CONGRATULATE YOU on your recent bundle of joy…Ga Ga Goo Goo!!!!! Sorry…the BIG KID IN ME couldn’t resist…LOL!!!!! And I hope that your baby is happy, healthy and smiling. Yes. Again…CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
Take care, CeeCee. Peace.
@jaybird…thank you for your well wishes….peace out, right back ‘atcha’.
The “View” : had it’s BEST season premiere ratings : in 8 years
thank you….. and thank you…. fans of
two Rosie’s
and I love them both
along with Whoopie
I’m just smiling… that Rosie Perez is ON an every day basis
she’s spitfire, present, adorable, and cute as a button
Thank you, Rebecca1! In regard to Whoopi and her eye-rolling looks of disgust, my friends thought I was exaggerating. Some of it was during interviews on the couch w/guests as well, which is double rude. I couldn’t find anything wrong w/Sherri or Jenny’so line of questioning or conversations w/guests, I concluded it might be a control for individual air -time, a power trip, or backstage chaos. For years now the tension between the hosts on that set has seemed so palpable to me. Yikes! That must such for the guests.
Meredith Vieira and Joy Behar were my favorites. I didn’t see those power trips from Meredith. I’m not going to watch anymore anyway, so my last comment about the new panel is that I wish they had hired a twenty-something instead of having 2 just 2 years of apart in age like the 2 Roses are.
Hi Laurie. You’re welcome! LOL…I don’t know how your friends could have missed the eye rolling (if they watched the show)…she did it every episode!
Have to disagree with you though on Sherri and Jenny…and don’t even get me started on Elizabeth!!! Couldn’t stand any of them.
Liked Sherri at the beginning. (Saw her in a few movies as well as DWTS and liked her as an entertainer.) But the more she talked about her religion and her son the more I couldn’t bear her. And anything racial was a very heated topic with her.
Jenny? Once you make a stupid comment like The Jews know how to make money…and don’t see anything wrong with that comment…ya lost me. And…she seems a bit full of herself. I love Dancing With The Stars (commented about that on another post) and I believe when she was asked to do it she replied that it was for has-beens and not for people of her celebrity…something to that effect.
Elizabeth? The most pompous, self-righteous know-it-all…and again…one of many stupid statements:
An Italian Catholic actor was on…can’t think of his name now…and she asked him if it “bothered” him that people thought he was Jewish. (As you might tell…anti-semitism doesn’t sit well with me, to put it mildly.) I think both Elizabeth and Sherri turned it into a show about their kids and their religion. Very off-putting and polarizing.
The View started out as a great show: I agree with you. Meredith was great…I do like Joy…I think Lisa Ling is very intelligent and likeable….
I hear what you’re saying about age…Nicole Wallace is the youngest. I think she’s 42; Rosie Perez is 50, O’Donnell 52, Goldberg 58.
They started out wanting to represent women of all ages with different points of view…they left that to focus on diverse race and politics.
Hi rebecca1,
1. RIGHT ON about Meredith Vieira, Lisa Ling and Joy Behar!!!!! Meredith will always be my ALL-TIME FAVE!!!!!
2. I have been such a BIG FAN of Joy’s ever since her stand-up comedy days.
3. More and more, I L-O-V-E to watch Lisa on her current show Our America…which airs on OWN. I usually watch it on OWN On-Demand. Rebecca, if you haven’t seen it, here’s a brief rundown and all: Every week, Lisa Ling travels from state and state and all to do realistic and hard-hitting interviews. But, Lisa does this with A LOT of intelligence, sensitivity and understanding!!!!! Girlfriend, if you want to, you ought to check it out. Trust me…Lisa’s Our America show is that A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!
4. Rebecca…h-o-n-e-y…EVEN MORE RIGHT ON ABOUT Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Jenny McCarthy!!!!! And…I am adding that INSUFFERABLE D-I-V-A Star Jones (Remember her?) to my DISLIKE LIST.
5. The more that Elisabeth CONSTANTLY TALKED every week on The View…that’s how EVEN MORE SO that I kept rooting for Elisabeth’s O-F-F button…LOL!!!!! Yep. And, I think that Elisabeth’s husband Tim (that football player dude) is just as DORKY as Elisabeth is. Yep.
6. I think that ABC messed up BIG-TIME when they subjected us to that Jenny airhead. Thank God that Jenny is no longer on there aka GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!
7. Rebecca dear, if you disagree with me about Star Jones…that’s COOL with me. Understandable. But I gotta say…I CANNOT STAND Star!!!!! 3 reasons why: (1) When Star married her (now) ex-husband Al Reynolds, she (for some reason) was BEYOND OBSESSED with getting tons and tons of FREE STUFF for her wedding…which PISSED OFF A L-O-T of people associated with the planning and all of Star’s wedding. (2) IMO, Star acts like such an arrogant, bullying and condescending know-it-all. I CANNOT STAND people like that!!!!! And…of the 3…I H-A-T-E bullying/bullies the most!!!!! (3) IMO Part 2, Star will EMOTIONALLY RUN OVER A-N-Y-O-N-E to get what she wants. Bottom Line Here: Star Jones D-I-G-U-S-T-S me!!!!!
8. Lastly…Rebecca, thank you for listening. More and more, you’re A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!! Thanks a bunch.
Take care, Rebecca. XOXOXOXOXO
Hi Jaybird369…
LOL…I’ve read some of your posts. To quote an old “groovy” expression…you’re a trip! 😉
Thanks for your response and yes…I agree with everything you said!
Lata!
Hey there Rebecca1,
My dear…more and more, your posts are PERFECTLY SPOT-ON!!!!! And…as far as I’m concerned, you REFUSE to hold back. Thank You. Girlfriend, personality-wise, you are A-C-E-S all the way!!!!! Not to get too personal or whatever, but, if you have a husband or a boyfriend…I hope that your fella knows how VERY LUCKY he is to have you in his life. Yes.
Rebecca, as I’m closing for now, as me and my people/peeps VERY RESPECTFULLY say back in Louisiana aka Cajun Country…LATER GATOR!!!!!
Peace.
Once again, jaybird369, you put a smile on my face! Thanks for the compliments…back at ya! Cajun County…I loved New Orleans…but spicy food, how shall I put this mildly (no pun intended…well…pun should be intended…kinda works!) burns my face off!!!! But those beignets and funky music…heaven!
Rebecca,
Hello, dah’ling!!!!! Emotionally speaking, you flatter me. Suddenly…I’m blushing…LOL!!!!! Anyway, at age 46, I STILL L-O-V-E spicy food!!!!! And, emotionally speaking…I CANNOT get W-I-L-D if my food is MILD!!!!! Oh, I am too much…LOL!!!!! Ah, yes…New Orleans. New Orleans aka my deceased mom’s (Rest In Peace, Ma.) hometown. Oh, the memories!!!!!
Have a good one, Rebecca. XOXOXOXOXO

‘General Hospital’s’ Steve Burton Shares Reaction to His Lead Actor Daytime Emmy Nomination, ‘It Was to Honor Leslie Charleson’
The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award nominations kicked-off on Monday with the announcements of four major categories including, Outstanding Lead Performer in a Daytime Drama Series — Actor, and among the nominees is General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan).
Burton is already a two-time Daytime Emmy winner in the Supporting Actor category for his roles as GH’s Jason and his turn as Dylan McAvoy on Y&R. However, Steve is yet to win in the Lead Actor category and he has received 11 nominations along the way in his daytime career.
Following the reveal that he is a 2026 Daytime Emmy nominee, he and his GH co-star, podcast co-host and comedy show partner, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) taped a special edition of their That’s Awesome podcast just featuring Burton’s reaction to the news.

FOR LESLIE CHARLESON
Steve expressed, “I know it’s such a cliche to say, ‘I’m just so honored to be nominated.’ But truly, I’m so grateful to be nominated, so grateful to just be on the show off and on for 30 plus years and to be nominated with the guys in my category. Just to get the opportunity. Frank (Valentini, executive producer, GH) texted me right away. I was just like, ‘Thank you for the opportunity to get to do what I do.'”
Taking in the moment, Burton thanked those who helped him select the material for his nominated reel. “Unless you win, you don’t get to say things. So. I’m going just say a few things: Elizabeth Korte (co-head writer, GH) helped me a lot with the material, (as did) Michelle Henry, who’s a producer on the show, Laura Wright (Carly, GH), and then my wife Michelle (Lundstrom). I believe it was Jill Phelps who told me that when A Martinez felt like he had a great show or great scenes, he would mark it down. So, when Emmy time comes, you have all the show numbers written down, and you don’t have to think about it, because that’s half the battle (finding the material).
Burton explained how meaningful this nomination is for him, because of playing the scenes of Jason losing Monica, and his closeness with the late, great Leslie Charleson.
“The nomination’s an amazing thing, and it’s beautiful, but really it’s to honor Leslie Charleson. A lot of my material was because of her, and how I started on the show as a Quartermaine, it just means a ton,” shared Burton. “Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH) has obviously has been instrumental, and I’ve said it from day one and I’ll shout it from the rooftops. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here, and to be working with the people that we work with is incredible.”

SHOULD JOHN OLIVER BE NAMED HOST OF THE DAYTIME EMMYS?
During the end of his conversation with Anderson, Steve suggested that the host of the Daytime Emmy should be Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver, who recently guest starred as the head of the WSB named Z on General Hospital, and is soon to show up on Days of Our Lives in a mystery role in August.
Thus far, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has not revealed their host for the upcoming ceremony to be held on October 30 in a venue to be named in Hollywood, California.
You can watch Steve sharing his reaction to receiving his 2026 Lead Actor Daytime Emmy nomination below on a special segment on the That’s Awesome podcast.
Now let us know, are you glad that Steve chose scenes surrounding Jason mourning the loss of the woman that raised him, Monica Quartermaine for his Emmy reel? What do you think of John Oliver as a suggestion to host the Daytime Emmys? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Monday on Entertainment Tonight, the second set of nominations for the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards were announced which included the highly-coveted Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series – Actress and Outstanding Daytime Talk Series.
ET followed suit after Extra announced the nominees, as previously reported, in the Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series – Actor and Outstanding Daytime Talk Host.
Now, five leading ladies of the soaps are vying for the gold for Lead Actress and the category marked the first-ever nominations for CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates when two actresses made the final cut. Only General Hospital is not represented among the actresses this year after Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) took home the trophy last year.

THE FIVE LEADING LADIES OF THE SOAPS ARE …
The 2026 Lead Actress nominees are: Stacy Haiduk (Kristen DiMera), Days of Our Lives, Karla Mosley (Dani Dupree), Beyond the Gates, Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers), The Young and the Restless, Heather Tom (Katie Logan), The Bold and the Beautiful, and Tamara Tunie (Anita Dupree), Beyond the Gates.
This marks the first Daytime Emmy nominations for Karla Mosley and Tamara Tunie. In addition, this marks the first-time in her career that Stacy Haiduk had received a Lead Actress nod after two Supporting Actress nominations.
Meanwhile, Michelle Stafford had previously won 3 Emmys – 2 for Lead Actress and 1 for Supporting, but this recognition makes it her 11th overall nomination.
Heather Tom currently is tied for the most all-time Daytime Emmy wins with One Life to Live alum and General Hospital guest star, Erika Slezak. The B&B star has 19 nominations throughout her career.

DAYTIME TALK SERIES
In the Outstanding Daytime Talk Series category, the nominees are: 3rd Hour of Today, The Drew Barrymore Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Live with Kelly and Mark, Today with Jenna and Friends and The View.
“We’re proud to honor the extraordinary talent and creative teams whose work continues to define and elevate daytime television,” NATAS president and CEO Adam Sharp said in a statement on the nominations. “As the Daytime landscape evolves and new forms of storytelling emerge, we remain committed to recognizing the innovation happening across the industry.”
The rest of the nominations will be revealed tomorrow on Tuesday July 14 starting on The View and then the full list of nominees in both the main and creative arts will be released by NATAS. The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards are slated for October 30th in Hollywood, California.

‘General Hospital’ Marks Unprecedented 16,000th Episode Milestone with New Cast Photo
Today’s Monday, July 13 episode of General Hospital marks it 16,000 episode to air on the ABC television network. It is a remarkable milestone. The previous television record was held by Guiding Light which clocked in at 15,762 episodes before it went off the air on CBS in 2009.
To mark the occasion, the cast, crew and creative team of General Hospital celebrated with a cake-cutting ceremony on the Prospect Studios lot in Los Angeles back on Monday, June 1, 2026.
In addition, GH has released a new cast photo taken the day of the on set celebration. Pictured in the photo are front row: Rory Gibson, Finn Carr, Kayden Brenna Tokarski, Asher Antonyzyn, Giovanni Mazza, Braedyn Bruner, Dean Geyer and Nathan Dean.

In addition, the official GH social media handles shared these sentiments along with some other photos from the cake cutting: “Today’s episode of General Hospital is the 16,000th produced since the show’s inception in 1963. It’s a milestone we couldn’t let pass by without taking some time to celebrate as a family (and, of course… eating some cake). 🍰 We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did making it.”
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THE 16,000th Episode?
The 16,000th episode will feature Jason Morgan returning to the town of Port Charles, Anna and Valentin (James Patrick Stewart) reuniting, and a new surgeon, Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) joining the staff of ‘General Hospital.’
GENERAL HOSPITAL HOLDS SEVERAL RECORDS
Now in its 64th year, Emmy Award-winning daytime drama General Hospital is currently both the longest-running scripted American drama and the longest-running American soap opera currently in production.
General Hospital holds the record for the most Outstanding Daytime Drama award wins, taking home the prestigious Daytime Emmy Award a record 18 times. Will they do it again and make it 19 in 2026? Stay tuned for the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy nominations tomorrow on Tuesday, July 14 to find out if GH will be going for gold in the category, once again.
The ABC daytime drama series was created by Frank and Doris Hursley and premiered back on April 1, 1963. Frank Valentini is the current executive producer with Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten are the show’s co-head writers.
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC and streams on Hulu.

What do you think of the accomplishment to have that many episodes of a television show and its still thriving and kicking? Share your thoughts and congrats for everyone in front of the camera and behind the scenes on this milestone airing.
