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.

love it can’t wait for one life to live to come back. luv dani
Just amazing. All of it. I can’t wait for our show to come back.
It all looks good to me.. cannot wait to see the Mannings and Buchanan clans. LOVE the clips..
1. I like the sets
2. I don’t like Dani getting back with Matthew they were good before because of the nice young love story and actor chemistry with a Matthew recast that chemistry is gone and any need to pair the 2 is gone with it. And aren’t Dani and Destiny best friends??? WTF
3. I hope they don’t have Dani and Todd make amends.
4. I don’t like the overuse of the clubs.
5. I don’t like the excess sex and drinking by Dani and Matthew the 2 are still 19 I’m a teen and I still don’t like them adding that. Strip poker? Really?
6. Who was the brunette Todd had sex with? Please let it not be Tea because that would be far too wrong.
7. We need VICTOR I feel like he would bring the grounding to the show they need I’m sure Dani has been doing w.e she wants with whatever guys that won’t fly with my main man Victor. We need him back VICTOR!!!
8. Love Vicki and Clint like always.
9. I can tell I won’t like Matthew in this.
10. Great to get a look at things but I just am not as excited as I was before after watching this I don’t know why, will still be watching though.
11. Is Tea’s baby alive or was she mourning him by looking at his crib? Are they going to continue off of what happened in GH? Or are they going to work off of GH??
P.S. We need Trevor St. John
P.S.S We need Trevor St. John
P.S.S.S We need Trevor St. John
Kelly Missal said in an interview that Dani (so presumably Matthew too) is 21.
P.S. Glad Trevor is gone.
P.S.S. I was also under the impression that OLTL wasn’t going to continue the GH storylines, but it certainly looks like my sweet Tea is mourning the loss of her baby. I wish they’d write me into the show so I could comfort her!(wink, wink).
P.S.S.S. I CAN’T WAIT TIL APRIL 29!!!!!
I agree, you put it very well. Too much clubs, sex, etc will ruin it. ABC did know where to stop and I’m afraid PP hasn’t learned that yet. I was worried Llanview, the sets would look different so it wouldn’t feel the same. There are some minor, yet noticeable differences. I think PP did a better job than ABC. Thank goodness they got rid of the dreadful dog painting over Viki’s fireplace. 😉
Wow… I have no words to say how excited I am to see OLTL again
I hate to use a cliche, but it looks awesome.
One of the great fears was the acknowledgement that any online serial to date suffered mightily from a shoestring budget. This looks expensive. Plus, it is a serious thrill to see so many returning players.
It looks really good..
It’s more like the shows I watch on cable TV that are big hits and killing the boring network TV .. lol 🙂
I’m still convinced if AMC and or OLTL do well on the web that a cable network will pick up the soaps…
“The Young & the Restless” is leaving SoapNET for The TV Guide Channel, so SN will have an hour to fill now. Although I guess they can always show more “90210” reruns from the ’90s!
I think if any cable station picks it up it should be MTV…it seems to fit in there…
It is gorgeous! Everyone looks so beautiful and amazing. First class feel and pretty sexy, guys! Love it. My heart stopped a little seeing Todd racing with a collapsed Dani in his arms… dramatic, I can not wait!
Dani looks and appears to act like a slut. I agree that there appears to be too much sex and sex among young people.Looks like the have totally changed who Matthew is. I don’t mean the actor- which is obvious, I mean it looks like they have changed the history and personality- bad move.
I agree, we need Trevor St. John.
I dunno how kissing a guy she’s known for years makes Dani a slut.
I feel Danis just acting out because of all the drama in her family!
As a long time OLTL fan let me just say, I was excited at first it was coming back, but now I realize it wont be the OLTL I remember. They have vamped it up, & for some reason are going with the “sex sales” this time around. Look at the preview thats all it is, their promo shots are the same way. They could have let Star, John & Todd live on at GH untouched, but now with the rebbot that cant happen.
NO they can’t because ABC cancelled and used and abused these properties.They sold the rights to Todd and Star.They never thought that PP would make a go of it.YOU REAP what you sow.BTW GH will probably follow AMC and OLTL suit eventually!
Also GH is being run by the OLTL staff thankfully they were able to keep it from being cancelled for now!
Definitely believe that GH will go the way of OLTL once all the hoopla of the anniversary is over. After all if OLTL turns a profit at a cheaper cost to make, ABC will cancel GH in a heart beat. ABC has no loyalty to soap fans. Have we not learned this?
Natalie and Cutter!!!
ditto!
if ME is not back….
hope they’re not related…
CUTTER ALL the WAY…. he smolders…
Didn’t really care for Cutter that much! Don’t like him with Natalie!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This looks amazing. Poor Dani, she’s going to become a problem child.
I’m highly offended that Destiny Evans is no longer being played by Shenell Edmonds. She was not the greatest actor (she did improve as the show went on) but she had a quality and a presence and her scenes with Tuc Watkins were hysterical and touching. And I also loved when she went off on Todd, er I mean Victor Jr. yelling “Stranger Danger.”
I also admired the fact that Shenell was not a “skinny minnie” waif, which is what “The New Destiny” appears to be. I have no problem with the producers sexing up the show, but they could have done it with new characters, not with existing ones.
Why would you be ”offended”? that Shenell is not returning?
She was sought for and asked to return, she said no..
She is finishing here collage and other life enhancing projects..
I think the new additions will bring allot to OL 🙂
It is exciting; the changes!
I feel we’re all going to love OL !!
(and we can watch whenever and how many ever shows we want to when we want to! soo cool! Watch on our downtime, no interruptions..I will watch both that will be totaling an hour before I sleep or to fill the hours of a Sunday at home. ..
Shenell Edmonds said on her Facebook that she was asked, but because of her college schedule, they couldn’t make it work with the production schedule so she declined.
Thank you for that information; I don’t follow Shenell on Facebook so I didn’t know that. I also know actors sometimes will say they have scheduling conflicts because its “politically” not good for them to say “yeah, I wasn’t asked back.”
It was even mentioned here not too long ago that Shenell wasnt doing the show because of her college schedule!
I really wish people would not be negative towards the Reboots, we are getting our shows back. Our shows, we fought for two long years to get to this point, and I’m beyond excited to start seeing my OLTL again, and I’m even going to watch AMC which I never cared for as a supporter and am so happy that this day is actually nearing us, it’s just so GREAT. I don’t care how they differ, from before, just so we have OLTL back, and the Characters that they have on here are going to be AWESOME!!! YAY!!!!
I agree but honestly, I don’t even care what these haters say! remember haters are going to hate, it’s their job! and our job is to ignore them. So many people are employed again and doing something they love to do and have done for over 20 plus years! to have them back in any format is a blessing to them and the fans! We got our shows back! and I’m so excited that I can’t contain the excitement! The Promo was fantastic. ABC killed our shows! but PP has resurrected them! One Life Lives On!
I so agree with you, haters are going to hat, their not true fans IMO. I love that so many of the behind the scenes people got their jobs back, it’s just great. I don’t care how these shows are back, just so there back!!! Who cares if there’s more Sex, more cussing, more crazy Storylines, people half to dismiss reality when it comes to Soaps, because anything at all can happen, because it’s a Soap!!! I can’t wait for April, 29TH!!!!!
Technically it’s not a reboot.. all the main characters are being played by the same characters, and they are continuing the storylines from the ABC version.
A reboot is when they start over from scratch ala ‘Batman Begins’ w/ Christopher Nolan vs. Tim Burton’s 1989 ‘Batman’. While it’s the same characters, Nolan’s version ignores what transpired with Burton-Schumacher’s Batman, therefore it’s a reboot.
Lots of shows change networks, but this time it’s changing media. The show is picking up where it left off, so it’s not a reboot and it’s not OLTL 2.0.. it’s the same show, just presented differently.
I am just thrilled I have ONE LIFE TO LIVE back. The core characters are there. It can’t be exactly same. PP has more freedom to explore more innovative topics that basic cable won’t allow. Give it a chance people.
Give it a rest, grannies. It’s sexy, it’s hot, it isn’t trashy….look how sweet Bo and Nora looked in the sack. Something for everyone, and I couldn’t be more happy or grateful it is back.
Agreed.
To add onto Tali’s point..
Bottom line, the writers/actors/producers have to put @$$ in the seats.. not every die-hard soap fan is tech-saavy and won’t make the transition, so PP/TOLN have to target people that use this media regularly 16-49 age range.
Sorry, hand holding and smooches aren’t going to do it. PP/TOLN need to push the limits with OLTL. Soaps once pushed the limits of “decency” on TV, until the limits eventually became the norm.. which is why we’ve seen the soap genre phase out. No soaps are in a position again to push the limits, if they can push it and get people watching, the more likely they are to succeed and keep our soaps around for at least another 40 years.
When they bring on JWOW as a recurring character, it is a little trashy.
The studio behind the new “OLTL” and “AMC” want to use younger characters (and sexier actors) to help bring in younger viewers; 18-49 year-olds are the key demographic that advertisers covet because they are supposedly not set enough in their ways and will buy/try new products and have more discretionary income.
What the producers don’t realize is that younger viewers have NO interest in traditional soaps, online or on TV-they want Kardashian sisters. Prospect Park should learn from “General Hospital” and their revitalization-bring back legacy characters, tell stories well in a fast-paced way and get older, LOYAL viewers to tune in. And its the older viewers who have higher incomes and more money to spend on new cars, cruises, dining out, etc., NOT the under 30 year-olds.
Yeah that’s why they ditched all those oldie vets like Viki and Clint and Dorian and they would never show a mature couple like Bo and Nora making love.
Oh, wait a minute…
I did NOT say they are “ditching” the older characters but they are going to emphasize the younger set. I don’t make this stuff up-I’ve read it in articles about the reboots, and not on sites with photos of cats on skateboards but in media-centric publications.
Yes, they did show Bo & Nora making love!
And how exactly do you know younger viewers do not like traditional soaps? This is your opinion which is fine, but no proof of it.I happen to be in the age category that you are talking about and I love the soaps. So please don’t make generalizations based upon nothing.
Ditto! I’m in that age bracket for the demo, and I can’t wait! I love when people say things and consider them “facts” just because theysay it.
Listen up DEREK and C and “The Trouble with the Truth”-I actually WORK in the TV business so I don’t “make this stuff up.” We see the numbers and know what people are watching, what their ages are, their incomes, etc. And you’re all probably lying about your ages and you’re the kinds of people that make me sorry I say anything on these boards.
When you hear about why the co-EP of OLTL quit the reboot, maybe then you’ll realize what I’m saying is true. And I’m pretty sure you three will be the first ones to complain about the new shows.
Actually, I’m not lying about my age. If you need to believe otherwise, then that’s your choice. Just because you work in the TV business does not make you an expert on who or will not watch these shows. If young people didn’t watch soaps, then why did gossip girl, 90210, and countless others last so long? You say these new shows should be more like General Hospital. How exactly do you know what these shows are going to be like and who will be featured? You’re going by what you have been reading? Well you’re not the only one who has been reading. And by the way it wasn’t the co EP who quit, it was the co head writer.
I am in tears. Everyone looks fantastic. The sets look terrific. Just this short clip feels like coming home. I feel like it’s with same family of people we’ve loved and missed so very much. Like others have said, I too was concerned that this show would be produced on a shoe string budget. So far, it certainly doesn’t look that way.
Others have made comments about content so I will too. How did Cutter get out of jail? Perhaps his mother, Alex, intervened. Natalie and Cutter together – an interesting combination. It seems that Dani has matured while we’ve been away. Not sure how I feel about that. I am excited by the possibilities for Matthew and Destiny as young adults. (I understand the reasons for the recasts and don’t mind.) The clip seemed to indicate that Viki and Clint aren’t remarried yet. We can look forward to another Buchanan wedding. Hope it goes better than the last two. Dorian looked like she is ready to spit nails. Just the way we love her. Tea broke my heart. I so hope Victor (TSJ) will come home. These are my people and I’m so thrilled to have them back.
Llanviewer717 I agree! I love the way Dorian! takes control of scene! and did you see her hair! omg! she looks amazing!
I don’t know how well Natalie & Cutter will be! He’s such a sly dog. He will end up
braking her heart. He isn’t on the up & up. His shady back ground. And dishonest
dealings .
So happy! Can’t wait till the 29th!
I love it. The chemistry between Blair and Todd is unbelievable. Love that Jack is angry (heck, I’d be if my father forgot about me for a year). Interesting triangle developing between Dani, Destiny, and Matthew. It’s real life people! LOVE the magic and class of Vicki and Clint. Love Dorian in all ways, and Vickerman is clearly the life of the party. MAGIC. April 29. TOLN. Here’s to the future! Your fans are behind you 100%!
I have no words to express how I hope it succeeds so ABC execs can REGRET cancelling TV’s finest drama in the first place
If PP was smart, id try to convince MTV to air repeats of OLTL…MTV has that age group PP wants most. Im not offended or upset by what ive seen(sex scenes look about the same as network sex scenes to me) but it still takes more than sex sells(hope they arent too dependent on that) to buy me, and its the storylines that interest me the most and have to engage me first to make me a fan again(like Dallas accomplished) and from what ive read from those teasers it sounds like it could be as good as it was before! I can see changes in Dani…she is Todds daughter and the death of Teas baby could have affected her just as much as it would Tea(thats if the babys dead)…Dani could be just acting out. Victor could be there…im certain the writers have to leave some suprises for the viewers. Soaps should bring back the big old fashion church weddings…i feel they are more romantic…id do this for Viki and Clint if they havent already done their renuptials! Dorians got to be in some sort of political scandal…i think! Not sure if i care for the changes in Mathew and Destiny yet…gotta wait and see! I once mentioned a Natalie and Cutter pairing which seemed obvious from the casting news…but it seems like Clint and Viki wouldnt approve. I still believe Jeffry is Davids son and will come between David and Dorian after Jeffry does that news artical on her. AS for the sex it doesnt look trashy so far unless its overused and just shown as instant gratification…i dont support sexual promiscuilty unless it is shown more realistically as a warning tool that unsafe sex can lead to an unwanted pregnancy, STDs and aids that is still out there! Im not complaining about any of this…its just my thoughts…like i said b4 im not judging a thing until i see how it all comes together!
Looks better then when they were on abc lol pp and oltl rick thank the soap gods
Suppose to be pp and oltl rock lol
OMG is all I can say as I try to regain my composure! I must have watched this trailer over 10x and each time it made me love the show, the actors, and PP even more! I don’t care which show you’re a fan bass of nobody can deny how absolutely remarkable this show looks!
For fans to see their vets return is a treat in itself! Watching Todd and Blair’s exchange and the look in their eyes literally made my heart skip a beat. There is too much history between these two that will never cease no matter what or who is on the show or another! There is no other but each other when it comes to these two!
# Roger Howarth aka Todd, adds something so special to #OLTL that no words can accurately describe the love fans feel for him and his co-star # Kassie DePaiva aka Blair.
Every scene that followed made me squeal with delight! It was remarkable! Dorian (who looks amazing), Bo and Nora exchanging some loving, the club scenes, the music, the atmosphere, the sex appeal, the everything was just Simply Magnificent! This trailer was an appetizer and I’m still hungry for more! I got the date 4.29.13 and I suggest you save the date to and tune in because One Life, has more lives to live!

OMG it’s amazing!!! CAN’T WAIT!! Love Dani she’s all grown up now and it’s going to be a little uncomfortable to watch her sex scenes lol. Just like it was uncomfortable to see Michael strip at the Nurses ball!!
You guys need to chill out and reserve judgement for AFTER the show resumes, give it a chance!!
I so agree, I’m so sick of everyone hating on the new shows, PP was our only hope, don’t you think they’d all be jumping with happiness, I know I am, you can either have you’re show or not, it’s that simple, i think everyone with the negative comments aren’t true Fans of the Shows, it’s ridiculous how often I see negative comments towards OKTL-AMC-GH, crazy, so not right, I’m so thankful to PP for bringing us our shows back!!! I will take them any way I can get them!!! Cannot wait till April, 29th.
EXACTLY!!!!!
I like Dorian’s new hair-do, she looks great! I hope it is a mix on young & older characters and not just the young ones. Viki & Clint (YES)! Can’t wait! Wonder what the intro music for OLTL is going to be like???? I hope they didn’t change it too much. And
each day that follows, we only have ONE LIFE TO LIVE!
I think it’s a necessity they find a ‘happy balance’ between legacy characters and newbies. To focus on newbies would alienate their core fanbase, to focus too much on legacy characters might fail to attract their target audience. The show has to push the limits, while staying true to itself.
Did Lea DeLaria do Dorian’s hair?
I don’t like Cutter and Natalie together:( I hope they find a new John McBain.
I don’t care much for Cutter being w/ Naitalie either!
I hope they re-cast John McBain also. It might take a minute to adjust to a new actor but I think the fans will accept a new actor in the role. After all, we all know Michael Easton would not return. We just want Natalie and John together with Liam.
Natty is with Cutter? If this is a continuation from where they left off then he’s supposed to be in prison in Anchorage,KY. I can actually see Clint having a problem with this especially since the “Gigi” incident.
Speculating on what the actors did or did not do vs. what they said they did is premature at this point. Remember that we’ve been seeing a lot of happy actors since they started filming and if I’m going to speculate about anything it is that viewers have been conditioned by the daytime networks to be distrustful. Let’s at least give the new shows a chance going in and REMEMBER that since they are online now and have more creative license, our feedback is (hopefully) more likely to be considered rather than ignored completely as under the old regime. I agree that the sets look amazing! I love that they rebuilt Llanfair but I haven’t seen La Boulaie yet and that’s making me nervous!
La boulaie is there…its purple now . Dorian is.standing in it when she throws here coat to the floor in a rage, also jack and david have a.scene in it together.
I love it! It looks terrific especially Viki and Clint. I am so happy to see all of the others also. I like the character of Dani so much better than Starr. Dani is a beautiful girl. I am also glad that Rama and Cutter are back. I hope Shaun will be on also. The scene with Destiny and her baby looked very sweet. It is amazing how it looks better visually than it did when it was on ABC. I cannot wait till it starts.
Is it April 29 yet? CAN NOT WAIT! teaser clip looks really good.
I’m a big fan of OLTL and I’m very excited about it coming back, but I agree with what everyone is saying about the sex, I won’t have a problem with it as long as it doesn’t overrun why people love OLTL.
I agree! I am a die-hard fan of OLTL to.. I like Viki& Clint, Bo and Nora,Dorian,Blair,
Jessica, Natalie, Todd, John(if he’s there).. The new young characters will take me
a while to get use to . I liked them before and there was a balance of young actors & the actors that are our favorites that I mentioned in the beginning of my comments. We shall see what happens now.. I hope the OLTL I’ve come to know
& love doesn’t change to much…..
Looks fantastic!! April 29th can’t get here fast enough!!!!!!
I am so excited that my favorite soap opera is coming back to life “Who Says You Only Have One Life To Live” I sure would like to know what Brian Frons is thinking right now!!! He was so wrong in taking both these shows off the air in the 1st place. The fans really stood their ground and we Won!!! Soooooooo Excited, that I just can’t hide it!!!!..
Did anyone else pause the video at 1:29? They flash on a mysterious guy in a hoodie and his face is blurred out. Hmmm wonder who that is?
Now I did! lol
Thanks for pointing that out fingers crossed hoping it’s TSJ Aka VICTOR LORD JR!!!!!!!
I wonder what Dani was freaking out about in that hospital bed maybe an S.T.D?
I did not at first but my kids and their friends caught it and also at .52 with Tea. That is TSJ….Yippee!!!
I am so thrilled to have my ONE LIFE TO LIVE family back. It will be different, but the legacy continues. Give it a chance people.
I cannot wait til April 29, have been waiting since last year for them to post when it would premiere. I have been watching soaps since 1971 and I stop watching them when they cancelled One Life to Live and All My Children but I will definitely tune back in April 29. Thank you so much for continuing the legacy of good daytime soap television.
I have heard its starting out five years later after the last episode… I just wonder if that is true because seems lil innocent Dani will be having a lot of sex… but hate Clint just giving Viki a ring after 5 years? hmmm cant wait, the footage looks better quality now than before and the hair and makeup looks great too.
I can hardly wait for both shows to start. So happy I live in Canada !!!!
dani reminds me of a Mini Blair hope Dani lets her dad Todd in he can help her . ooh I cant wait 2 watch this
