Days of Our Lives & The Bold and the Beautiful Score GLAAD Media Award Nominations!
The 24th Annual GLAAD Media Award nominations have been announced this morning. And each year, the GLAAD Media Awards celebrate outstanding representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and their allies on TV, in film, and in the news. These are the images and stories that bring the LGBT community closer to equality.
In the Outstanding Daily Drama category it will be Days of our Lives nominated for Sonny and Will’s love story featuring Chandler Massey and Freddie Smith vs. The Bold and the Beautiful with Caroline’s My Two Moms story featuring: Crystal Chappell, Joanna Johnson, and Linsey Godfrey who have been recognized for their achievements.

The GLAAD Media Awards will be handed out in three ceremonies: New York on March 16th, in Los Angeles on April 20th and in San Francisco on May 11th. Last year, the Daytime category was handed out in ceremonies in San Francisco. You can view the complete list of GLAAD Media Award nominees here.
So soapers, who would you vote for between DAYS & B&B for their depictions? And in a world that stresses diversity and the importance now more than every of equality among all human beings, would you like to see a fully fleshed out story encompassing more gay characters on the other current daytime soaps? Yes, General Hospital’s Felix was just brought on the canvas too, but we have to wait to see if more of a story also develops for him, or not. Weigh-in!

‘Days of our Lives’ Preview: Will Dominic Marino Turn Out to Be Marlena’s Son With Stefano DiMera?
All signs point to that Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) at some juncture had Stefano DiMera’s (the late Joseph Mascolo) baby, but will it ultimately prove to be true, especially when the man in question is Dominic Marino? The last name Marino could also be the clue which its first half contains Marlena, the last half Stefano!
For several weeks, Marlena has been grappling with some vague memories and things she doesn’t seem to want to remember or can’t. We know that when Belle (Martha Madison) and Chad (Conner Floyd) made it to Italy, they found hidden in the replica chess set, just like the one Stefano “gifted” Marlena and John, that a secret compartment revealed a photo of Stefano holding a young boy with the picture dated on the back “1992.”
Now, in all-new episodes of Days of our Lives streaming next week on Peacock, the official promo ends with quite the shock for Marlena. First, Steve (Stephen Nichols) pays her a visit with an update that they were able to track down the birth certificate of Dominic Marino. As she reads the certificate, Marlena says out loud that Stefano is listed as the father, but stops dead in her tracks when she reads the mother’s name, and the promo goes to black!

Will Marlena learn she has another child out there, who seemingly was in cahoots with Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti) in Monte Carlo? Or, is this all one last evil plan from the dead from Stefano to make Marlena believe she is the biological mother of his child? Stay tuned.
Elsewhere in Salem, Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) races home to the Kiriakis mansion ready to save it, and the family business. after gambling it all in Monte Carlo. Sadly, when he walks in to the family home, it’s completely empty!
In addition, the machinations of Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) continue as she concocts another scheme when she researches, “nerve conduction studies.” Could it be she is going to fake her paralysis? Then, Mason (Brandon Butler) and Holly (Ashley Puzemis) finally have s showdown, where she asks, “Do you think I’m to blame for Sophia’s death?” It appears Mason believes she had a lot to do with it.
Now below, check out additional Days of our Lives spoilers for the week of September 21-15.

Soap Alums Remembered During In Memoriam Segment at 78th Emmy Awards; Patrick Muldoon Omitted
During last night’s 78th annual Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony, as it does every year, the television academy paid tribute to those in the industry that they’ve lost over the last year; since the previous Emmys held each year in September.
Starting with an emotional tribute to the late Catherine O’Hara by three of her co-stars, Schitt’s Creek’s Annie Murphy and Dan Levy and Home Alone’s Macaulay Culkin, the segment then dovetailed into Noah Kahan performing “Bridge over Troubled Water” as the faces and the names of those being remembered were shown on the screen.
Daytime soap alums, who either stayed in the genre for the majority of their career, or went on to primetime success as well, were honored including: Anthony Geary (Luke, GH), Hayden Panettiere (Sarah, OLTL, Lizzie, GL, Juliette, Nashville), James Van Der Beek, (Dawson, Dawson’s Creek, and Stephen, ATWT), Gil Gerard (Alan, The Doctors), June Lockhart (Mariah, GH), Patricia Crowley (Mary, Port Charles and GH), Randolph Mantooth (Clay/Alex, Loving and The City, and Richard, GH) and Jon Cypher (Alex, ATWT and Arthur, Santa Barbara).

THOSE HONORED AND THOSE WHO WERE NOT
However, in a glaring omission, the producers of the In Memoriam failed to include Days of our Lives beloved star, Patrick Muldoon who played the OG Austin Reed and also Richard Hart on Melrose Place. Muldoon passed away in April of this year at 57.
After Kahan concluded his performance, a special tribute to Rob Reiner began with Jamie Lee Curtis taking to the stage to share some warm words about her late friend.
In a ironic and sad twist, Curtis shared ,“Last week, Robbie won an Emmy for guest actor in a comedy series for his beautiful work on The Bear, and he now holds the record of 48 years for the longest gap between acting Emmys, which was previously held by his father Carl Reiner, at 37 years.”
Reiner, who along with his wife, Michele Reiner were killed by their son, Nick Reiner, is currently awaiting a decision if he will stand trial. Prosecutors on Tuesday, shared they will not seek the death penalty if he is convicted at trial, but instead life in prison. Curtis said of Rob, “He was generous and kind and funny as hell, and a friend to all. We all miss Rob and Michele and all those we lost this year.” The Emmys then faded to black and went to commercial break.
So, were you happy to see those who you know from their work in soap operas included in the 2026 In Memoriam tribute at the Primetime Emmys? Share your thoughts in the comment section. But first, in case you missed it, you can watch it below.

Franco LoPresti and Sydney Malakeh Makes Their ‘Days of our Lives’ Debuts: What Were Your First Impressions?
Days of our Lives fans were introduced on the Monday, September 14 episode to Dante Vitali in the form of actor Franco LoPresti, and reintroduced to Sydney DiMera as now played by Sydney Malakeh.
The DAYS writers connected the story by having them as major participants in a high stakes poker game in Monte Carlo where Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) with Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) by his side, are trying to win enough money to save Titan Industries and the Kiriakis legacy.
When we first meet Sydney she is in front of a mirror putting on her lipstick as she puts the finishing touches on her look for the evening, when she receives a call from her grandmother, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall).

POKER FACE
Later, Sydney shows up at the poker game with Dante Vitali, who introduces himself as Sami Brady’s fiancé. Philip explains that he has his own connections to Sami and would prefer his presence in the game be kept under wraps. Dante tells Philip he does not keep secrets from Sami.
Gabi asked Dante about his connection to Ava Vitali, to which Dante shared that although they shared the same last name, they were not close. Gabi says that’s good because Ava is “bonkers.” Dante did not appreciate Gabi disparaging Ava in that manner.
Philip is shocked that Sydney is such a poker player. Then we get the backstory on how she learned a lot from her grandfather, Roman Brady, and when she went to school, she played poker to beat the mean girls and realized she was quite good at it.
In the end, after throwing one guy out named “Otto”, who was “cheating” in the game, Dante offered two additional hands to Philip with a new deck. Dante asks,“Winner take all?” Philip says, “Works for me.” Eventually, Philip won the hand, but alone with Gabi told her he did not win enough to save Titan.

DID MARLENA GIVE BIRTH TO STEFANO’S SON?
As all this is going down, in Salem, Marlena is wistful worried that there is something she has blocked out in her memories from her time being kidnapped by Stefano. She tells this to a concerned Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes).
Meanwhile, Belle (Martha Madison), Chad (Conner Floyd) and EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) have all made it to Italy, and find hidden in a replicate chess set, just like Stefano willed to John and Marlena, a photo of Stefano with a young boy dated 1992 with whom they believe is “Dominic Marino.”
At the end of the episode, Dante shows up to a room with the mystery person wearing Stefano’s ring. He assures the person that no matter how many chips Philip won, he would not be able to save Titan and the Kiriakis mansion. Then, Dante utters, “Well, played, Dom.”
So, what’s going on here? Is Dante a bad guy? Is Sydney a schemer? Did Marlena have Stefano’s son, named Dominic Marino, but blocked the whole thing out for decades? And, what were your first impressions of the highly-anticipated debuts of Franco LoPresti and Sydney Malakeh? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, in case you missed, check out this week’s promo for Days of our Lives below.

Days really deserves this award!
They sure do!
It could not be any show but DAYS. I thought ATWT and OLTL did an awesome job with its gay storylines but this DAYS plot has me riveted!
B&B did not do service to its lesbian aprents storyline, but at least something is there!
Make it a fourth from me! DAYS all the way. Yes this latest bit with Gabi has really soiled a lot of the great work done before it, but overall DAYS put A LOT of time, effort and good work into Will’s coming out, everyone’s acceptance and Will and Sonny’s love story. Beautifully written, gorgeously acted and executed better than nearly any other show’s (tied maybe only with ATWT).
CC on BB does not an award make. They had a 2 week story and then zilch. It doesn’t even rank.
GLAAD !!!!!!! Diversity, Equality, We ALL BELONG !!!! We Are a PART of YOU.
DAYS – Will and Sonny…. Love Them….
B&B – Danielle and Caroline…. Rock ON Crystal Chappelle. ENJOY YOUR LIFE.
You give back so much to this Genre w/your on-line Work.
GH – Felix. Bear Salute – We got you…
Y&R – ???? Get on Board.
You’ll notice that Y&R gets FAR better ratings than DAYS. Maybe Y&R likes being #1 and doesn’t want to risk losing many of their viewers.
The gay storyline is not why DAYS is losing ratings, the bad writing is. People want less Dannifer and Sami triangles and more of our vets!
Well, you’ve got me there! lol .. I want the same thing. I would be willing to FF through the gay story if DAYS would give me just ONE good storyline to enjoy
hollywood smugly congratulates itself for being “tolerant” w/ these glaad “awards” w/c are a joke. hollywood screams against homophobia but is openly racist to people of color and especially to Asian americans. of course it’s bec hollywood thinks the white lgbt community is a more “special” minority group compared to African americans and latinos and especially Asian americans!
glaad “nominated” smash?! is glaad seriously that delusional?! ny based smash got rid of their 1 Asian romantic leading man who was not portrayed as your stereotypical asexual Asian american char. hollywood loves to portray Asian males as asexual yet who wrote the kama sutra again? billions from the Asian population yet they’re all asexual males according to “tolerant” hollywood. Typical hollywood racism.
Asian americans are portrayed by hollywood as dorky and accented men who are often asexual. while hollywood hypersexualizes latinos and black americans w/ these high pregnancy rates. thus being white becomes the “norm” and the “ideal” w/c racist hollywood loves. it’s a form of social control to make racial minorities worship whites as the “standard”. it’s hollywood’s version of white supremacy.
smash is being whitewashed even more by getting rid of 2 racial minority male chars and creating even more white chars! pathetic for an ny based tv show! white privilege has been around for centuries. it’s manifested thru hollywood’s institutionalized racism by suppressing the presence of racial minorities and removing racial diversity from tv shows like smash thru whitewashing. typical of trashy “art” from hollywood when heck even jesus was even whitewashed on paintings!
of course smash gets rid of dev and ellis who are the 2 racial minority males who were portrayed romantically but it keeps the gay chars and puts even more white chars. typical from “tolerant” hollywood: a majority white ny based tv show. smash’s ratings are blamed on the racial minority men and its rebooted to get rid of them. Dev was paired as the bf of the lead female char “acted” by horrid katherine mcphee. but of course the smash reboot gets rid of dev and pairs her w/ new white chars and w/ “bombshell’s” white director. Disgusting!
Would glaad “nominate” an ny based tv show w/c got rid of its gay chars and replaced them w/ straight chars? of course not bec they’d scream homophobia. yet whitewashing ny based smash of its racial minority male chars is not a problem for “tolerant” glaad.
I’m glad you see the irony in all this “tolerance” .. GLAAD is a powerful lobbying group and has successfully bullied TV and movie producers into including gay characters on almost ALL shows – never mind that ALL LGBT people make up only 3% of the population. They must be represented, DAYS makes it look like 20% of their town of Salem is gay. Other minorities, that actually have far MORE members in the REAL world, are barely seen in soaps or any other form of entertainment, especially in comparison to how many gay characters we see all the time! I realize that gays are highly represented in Hollywood, but those of us in the REAL world rarely encounter gay people. We are far more likely to encounter people of diverse races, the handicapped, people with devout faith – how many of THOSE types of people do you ever see on TV ? !
that’s what bothers me abt hollywood and glaad. they act like the most “enlightened” and “tolerant” people when they can be the most backward. you can forget abt religious people being portrayed objectively. all hollywood churns are psycho bible thumpers who are not tolerant and must be “educated” bec they are stupid.
The complaints abt very little lgbt representation are hilarious! More like too much lgbt representation. And of course majority of those chars have to be white lgbt people. cnn reported that only 3% of the us population identify as lgbt and they wouldn’t get that wrong bec the face of cnn is openly gay anderson cooper. hollywood gives too much priority to lgbt chars and too much representation and yet they love to talk abt “realism” when explaining the lack of racial minority representation. how is it realistic to have little racial minorities and too many white gay chars when the lgbt population is only 3% w/c is measely? typical hollywood racism.
the following shows have lgbt representation w/ mostly white lgbt chars and personalities: ahs. the new normal. modern family. revenge. true blood. person of interest. pretty little liars. b&b. days. y&r. oltl. amc. mad men. enlightened. downton abbey. plethora of reality tv shows and entertainment news tv shows. bravo tv. ellen degeneres. axed but still floundering on tv: blanderson cooper daytime talk show and emily owens. rather recently axed tv shows w/ white lgbt representation: desperate housewives. gcb. gg. ringer. heck glee alone has had the following lgbt chars: brittaney. santana. sandy. blayne. kurt. new gay guy for kurt. unique. sebastian. karofsky. that’s 9 alone and of course majority of them are white! it’s hilarious that gay people think hollywood “lacks” lgbt representation and is “homophobic” to gays.
hollywood isn’t “homophobic” to white lgbt actors. it rallied around the gay guy from grey’s anatomy when washington uttered that slur. washington was fired from grey’s bec of that and his career hasn’t recovered. yet hollywood did nothing for Asian american actor rex who is openly gay from entourage. he publicly complained abt the discrimination he experienced from entourage w/c was worse bec it was homophobic and racist. yet hollywood did nothing bec being racist towards Asian americans is acceptable for hollywood. those “enlightened” hollywood people love to talk abt diversity yet they bash Asian americnas w/ their lack of representation and racist representation and whitewashing.
there are very few Asian american chars on tv and yet according to pew research Asian americans are the most educated and have the highest median income and spend the most and are the fastest growing group making up 6% of the us population. that’s a lot more than those that identify as lgbt and yet there are far more white lgbt chars than there are Asian american chars.
where are all the “it gets better” videos from hollywood for Asian american students? Asian american students are the most bullied grp according to huffington post but hollywood only cares abt gay bullying. Typical racism from the “tolerant” crowd.
To maddiehayes: It’s great that you understand the larger issue of racial discrimination from hollywood and glaad. You’re the only person on here that contributes to the discussion on discrimination. it’s hilarious for people to say gays are being bashed by hollywood and the mainstream manhattan media.
And people who say that hollywood is all abt money are delusional. the best example to refute that would be the global phenomenon jeremy lin. hollywood refuses to give funding to the documentary on jeremy lin bec hollywood’s racist and they don’t want Asian americans to succeed at fields like entertainment and sports bec that would make them part of the popular culture and its discussion.

there’s clearly a demand for Jeremy Lin not only from Asian countries but from other countries and from america as well. obviously a Jeremy Lin documentary would make money but hollywood hates Jeremy Lin and Asian americans. hollywood is abt the suppression of the presence of racial minorities as shown by how horrid they are when it comes to racial diversity on tv shows. hollywood loves to whitewash minorities from the narrative to dilute the significance of authentic racial representation.
hollywood has often claimed that its the “audience” that’s racist and that the audience won’t accept an Asian american as a leading man. Jeremy Lin completely refutes that racist hollywood notion. Racist hollywood hates that bec he has shattered their narrative on how Asian americans must be portrayed. hollywood’s not abt money per se. That’s secondary compared to shaping the culture.
Look at how hollywood and the manhattan mainstream media were furious w/ gallup poll’s report on the low economic status of the lgbt community. It’s bec gallup’s research goes against what hollywood and the mainstream manhattan media has portrayed lgbt community. They’re portrayed on film and tv shows as rich and fashionable and trendy and often white. It’s bec hollywood and the manhattan media want advertisers to think they’re profitable and desirous to advertisers for their glaad galas and whatever blah.
hollywood and the manhattan media are abt social control. those are their goals. glaad has to praise these tv shows bec glaad and hollywood and the media want society to think that lgbt representation from tv shows is something admirable. Yet hollywood and the manhattan media openly discriminate against racial minorities bec they don’t want racial minorities to be more successful than the lgbt community.
Hi BC, oh yeah, I am fully aware of how Hollywood brainwashes people into thinking their way – don’t forget, half the population has below average intelligence! LOL .. a recent Gallup poll shows that more than half of the populace think that 25% of the population is gay! (from overexposure in the media, no doubt). Another Gallup poll shows that white/caucasian is the LEAST likely race to be gay. African American being FIRST, Asian second. And the only gay people I know personally are not white, one is Asian, the other Hispanic. The Asian Americans I know (I also have Asian in-laws and nephews) are successful and smart. Yep, the media controls the national dialogue, we should start a grass-roots effort to set the record straight! 😉
To maddiehayes: great contributions from you on this topic. of course majority of hollywood’s lgbt chars are w/ white actors despite gallup refuting that. Typical “diversity” from stupid hollywood. hollywood’s hatred for Asian americans is typified by the jeremy lin phenomenon. hollywood’s abt social brainwashing and jeremy lin’s success refutes the narrative that hollywood has crafted to bash Asian americans. CAA manages not only “actors” but NBA athletes. It’s bec hollywood has realized there’s a limit to hollywood’s profitability w/c doesn’t apply to sports. nba is not affected by dvr. hollywood is. there’s no pressing concern to watch a dumb hollywood tv show and movie anymore. Look at how low the ratings of tv shows have become. there’s an immediacy to sports and hollywood can’t compete w/ that.
Majority of the most popular nba athletes are managed by CAA and it’s bec athletes are the real stars compared to manufactured “stars” of hollywood. Anyone can be an actor. saying your lines and knowing your blocking are all that’s required of these self aggrandizing actors. but not everyone can be an athlete. Discipline and talent are required of athletes and there are scientific stats to back up the skills of an athlete. While actors can buy awards and the “talent” of an actor is debatable. meryl streep is often called the “best” actress and she has mentioned that she thinks the “best” actress is katharine hepburn. and yet hepburn has called streep’s acting mechanical and robotic. acting talent is opinion based but there are stats to back up the talent of an athlete w/c makes athletes the real stars compared to “star” actors.
hollywood has even extended its racism against Asian americans thru the NBA. Even the NBA ignores discrimination against Asian americans but it prioritizes lgbt bullying bec of hollywood’s stance on lgbt bullying and bec hollywood openly bashes Asian americans. Jeremy Lin experiences a lot of racial discrimination for being an Asian american global phenomenon. there were all these racial slurs tweeted at him. yet the nba did nothing. No commercials against racism towards Asian americans. But the NBA makes commercials against gay bullying. This obvious bias is bec of hollywood’s influence on the NBA. athletes from the nba have to speak against lgbt bullying bec hollywood wants society to prioritize only gay bullying and be influenced by these star NBA athletes. And yet the huffington post has reported that Asian american students are the most bullied group. Typical hollywood bias.
franchise athletes like lebron james have been groomed from childhood to become a part of the NBA. dumb actors get discovered from the mall. some actors use nepotism to climb up the hollywood ladder. But the manufacturing of “stars” is controlled by hollywood. And the grooming of bonafide atheltic stars is controlled by NBA athletic scouts. There is a system to create hollywood’s “stars” and to develop NBA’s star athletes.
jeremy burst onto sports and challenged all of that. from harvard. not from traditional basketball school. Asian american. these are not elements for a successful athlete and yet he’s a global phenomenon unlike all the “stars” hollywood churns on its assembly line. hollywood is against creating A list actors and actresses who are Asian american. Jeremy Lin doesn’t get any help from hollywood’s “star” manufacturers and he becomes a global phenomenon! That’s why hollywood hates him.
And he’s vocal abt his Christian beliefs. any critique of jewish people and someone is called “anti semitic” but hollywood loves to bash Christianity. that makes hollywood hate lin even more. hollywood loves to say it’s the most “tolerant” crowd but they are really stupid bec they don’t know the meaning of the word tolerance. hollywood is only tolerant of lgbt people who are white while they’re very racist towards Asian americans.
A few years ago here in Canada there was a case where a gay student was being banned from his Catholic high school prom because he wanted to bring a date. The reasoning at the time was because his life style conflicted with morals and the teaching of the Catholic Church allowing him to attend would be condoning his behavior. As a Catholic, I remember thinking at the time, if morality was the issue, then why weren’t straight students who practice immoral behavior against the teaching of the Church not banned as well? Why was one particular immoral behavior the sole focus- if morality was the issue?
Likewise, I never understood soap viewers who object to gay story lines based on morality. They don’t want to watch because according to their values homosexual is wrong. But they are willing to watch other immoral behaviors such as lying, fornication, adultery, murder, and other soap standards. The Bible states tattoos are wrong, so do they avoid watching all actors who have tattoos? If their values mean that much to them then by their own reasoning they should not be watching soaps at all.
Everyone is entitled to their views, but in the Scriptures I read, God detest hypocrisy more than any other sin. So I can only hope @maddiehayes and others like her will remember that bit of truth as well.
These awards are not given out to promote homosexuality, but to acknowledge shows that portray gay people as people regardless of their sexuality. No matter what people do —they still are.
the thing I hate is the way the media is using propaganda about gays to change people’s minds, thus promoting social engineering, like gay marriage. If people knew the truth about the gay lifestyle, they would never vote in favor of “normalizing” it and making it “equal” to the relationship God ordained. As I said in another post, more than half the population believes gays make up 25%. They don’t personally know anywhere near that amount of gays, they just see them on TV. And yes, I am fully aware that we are ALL sinners, we should not judge others. But homosexuality is NOT portrayed as sinful on DAYS, far from it! The sinful ones are the ones who think it is wrong (never mind what the Bible says). You don’t see this amount of pimping for all the other immoral behaviors you listed. You don’t see anybody on the show saying “If you think Sami is bad for lying and committing adultery, well, you’re just a bigot!” Not so the gay story. Victor went so far as to say “If you think there’s anything wrong with it, well, you’re just ignorant”. Slap in the face to those who believe in the Bible. I wouldn’t be surprised if Father Eric performs Will&Sonny’s gay wedding.
Days and Degrassi, my two favorite shows on TV, really deserve the award, B&B focused too much on the love triangles and too little on the lesbian storyline. I love WilSon! Go DAYS!
