Good for her. She’s a great actress. Will definitely tune in

oh yes…id follow this actress to any of her new jobs shes fabulous

I’ll have to check it out.

I just love Kelly Sullivan and I was so disappointed when they killed her off Y & R. I can’t wait to see this new show and I know she’ll be great as usual.

I still wish she was on GH as Connie—she was so fun to watch in that role. I am very happy for her just the same because she is a one-of-a-kind actress.

She seems to be an ambitious, hardworking actress. Best of luck to her.

I was not a Sage fan, but I am a Kelly fan. I really wish her well. I liked her a lot as Kate/Connie.

I love Kelly Sullivan!! General Hospital messed up when they killed off her character. Their loss is a great gain for this show.

WOW that was fast

seems like the thread announcing her new show just happened

I love her and – truly – hope the show takes

TUNE IN for this WOMAN

Does this mean no more no more ghosts of Sage for Sharon?

Congrats to Kelly Sullivan. Talented, hard working and genuinely warm and kind, she is the type of person that you wish wonderful things for. So pleased to see her continuing on screen with Tyler Perry’s new drama.

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.

Brent Stanton, Head of Daytime, NATAS added, “Producing the Daytime Emmys is a labor of love for all of us at NATAS. The huge popularity of these shows continues to be must-see viewing for their fans.” NATAS also revealed that Lifetime Achievement Honorees, Hosts, Presenters, and Silver and Gold Circle honorees will be revealed at a later date.

The Daytime Emmy Awards recognize outstanding achievement in television programming honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.

The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be produced once again by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI). Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie executive produces from ATI.

Congratulations to all the men and women in front of the camera and behind the scenes for their recognition as we take a look at who will be going for gold come June. Here are the nominees below starting with the Daytime Drama Categories.
