This week soap fans learned that for the first time since 1984, NATAS does not have a televised home for the gold-fest of the upcoming 41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards! However, there is always a plan B!
So, for the first time the ceremonies which On-Air On-Soaps previously announced will be streamed live online beginning at 5PMPST/8PMEST emanating live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday night, June 22nd.
NATAS chairman Malachy Wienges offered this statement, alluding to the fact that with the show available by live-stream, fans from around the world can converge and watch the ceremonies live for the first time everywhere: “We are so thrilled to be sharing 41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards with a global audience in such an innovative and contemporary fashion. We are confident that the expert team we’ve brought on will flawlessly execute an evening that celebrates the outstanding talent being honored and allows fans to be a part of the action.”
With the event being streamed live for the first time in the history of the broadcast; Wienges has brought in Spike Jones, Jr and SJ2 Entertainment who will be producing the live show at the Beverly Hilton with Terry D. Peterson, Owner, Artistic Director, Verite Productions, Inc. Paul Colichman and HERE Media will handle all aspects of social media for the event. The Daytime Emmys will be made available as previously reported via live-stream by going to www.daytimeemmys.net
So, what do you think of the concept of the live-stream? It certainly gives the show added flexibility in some respects than a televised broadcast, and it has a farther reach around the world. Share your thoughts below!

‘All My Children’ Revival Updates: Lifetime EVP Speaks on Why Proposed Movies are Great Fit, Mark Consuelos Wants To ‘Give Back’ to Fans
The All My Children revival via movies at Lifetime is still in the works from former series stars and marrieds, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, through their production company, Milojo.
The co-hosts of Live with Kelly and Mark were featured this week in a Los Angeles Times article which detailed their efforts to bring some of the citizens of Pine Valley back to your screens.
As previously reported, and reaffirmed by the L.A. Times, the All My Children movies will be set in the present day and focus on what beloved characters such as Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) and Maria Santos Gray (Eva LaRue) are doing now. In addition, Kelly Ripa confirmed that she and Mark Consuelos will also appear on screen briefly most likely appearing in their signature soap roles as Hayley and Mateo Santos.

ALL MY CHILDREN MOVIES BRING NOSTALGIA THAT CAN BE MADE TO FEEL NEW AGAIN
Elaine Frontain Bryant, executive vice president and head of programming for A&E, Lifetime, and Lifetime Movie Network said of the All My Children reboot, “Lifetime is always interested in shows that kind of tap into a powerful nostalgia that can be made fresh for today’s audience. There’s a whole generation of women that have missed these stories and these characters.”
As for working with Kelly and Mark on the Lifetime movie versions of the soap, “They’re exactly the kind of partners you want at a brand,” expressed Bryant. “They’re trusted voices because every day they’re talking to their audience, which, a lot of times, is our audience. They bring a real credibility and have an authentic point of view. You meet Kelly and Mark and kind of what you see is what you get, and I think they bring that same authenticity to their development standards.”
Albert Bianchini, executive producer for Milojo, says he knows All My Children is so wildly popular with the fans of daytime. That was punctuated when seeing it in person, and how the energy was off the charts back in January of 2025 when Kelly participated along with Susan Lucci, former head writer, Lorraine Broderick and casting director, Judy Blye Wilson in a conversation with Andy Cohen at the 92nd Street Y in New York City.

“I’ve never seen a crowd like that in my life. People were lined up around the block, recalled the Bianchini. “Everyone wanted to know, ‘When is (All My Children) coming back? We want more.’ We got to see that in real life and Kelly got to feel it in real life, and it made so much sense. I just know that the minute it gets out in the world, people will want more and more and more. There’s just a love there.”
Kelly Ripa added that they are, “working closely with Bob and Sarah Nixon, who are also serving as producers.” She recalled, “She (Agnes Nixon) was so far ahead of her time. She covered topics that weren’t being covered. It was extraordinary the audiences that the show drew, and she served them real stories that were affecting Americans across the country but weren’t necessarily being represented anywhere.”
“It’d be wonderful to give the fans something that they’ve been yearning for so many years,” shared Mark Consuelos. “All My Children gave me my family. I met my wife there. It gave me my start in the business. It gave us so much. It would be a dream to be able to give back.”
THE CANCELLATION AND STOPS AND STARTS OF ALL MY CHILDREN REBOOTS
All My Children aired on ABC from 1970 to 2011. It got a second chance at life when Prospect Park resurrected the show and brought it to The OnLine Network and Hulu for one season in 2013.
Recently, the series made a return through the estate of Agnes Nixon and is streaming internationally on BEONDTV and through their partnership with PlutoTV Canada with episodes starting in 1995. Fans hope original episodes will some day soon be available in the U.S. as well, but that could prove more difficult since ABC owns the rights to the episodes stateside.
Now 13 years later, while there is no word yet on a definitive production start date to the two movies at Lifetime, all the people involved seemed determined to make it come to life.
So, what do you think of the executive vice-president of Lifetime and LMN being enthusiastic about Kelly and Mark’s All My Children movie revivals? Are you wanting to see this come to fruition? Kelly and Mark seem to have made this a very high priority. Do you hope that by 2027 we might be able to get this to the finish the line and into production? Weigh-in via the comment section.
Starting on May 1, All My Children fans in Canada will be able to see classic episodes of the beloved former ABC soap opera when they stream on Pluto TV Canada.
Pluto TV picked-up the All My Children Channel that the Nixon family has created in partnership with BEONDTV +. The show which aired for 41 years on ABC and ended on the network in 2011, had so many memorable storylines and characters; the least of which is the enduring run of Erica Kane played by soap icon, Susan Lucci.
As previously reported, starting with episodes from the year 1995, which was the 25th anniversary of the soap. Pluto TV Canada viewers will be able to catch 8 episodes on repeat per day. With the success of the venture, the Nixons are hopeful that they will bring viewers many more years of the show to come.

Sarah Nixon, producer, shared with Michael Fairman TV exclusively, “We are thrilled that Pluto TV has launched All My Children in Canada! Let’s hope the engagement from our incredibly loyal fans across the border will encourage ABC to bring it to the U.S.! We share what Aggie (Agnes Nixon) always felt, that it is the enthusiasm and love from the fans that has kept this legacy beloved and relevant – to this day!”
In addition, 0ne week ago, during Susan Lucci’s visit to Los Angeles promoting her book La Lucci, she was joined by her former Pine Valley castmates, Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee, AMC, now Taylor, B&B) and Eva LaRue (ex-Maria, AMC) and the trio posed for a pic. At that time, LaRue shared via Instagram, “NEW All My Children channel streaming classic episodes 24/7 now on Pluto TV Canada! Fingers crossed to watch soon on Pluto US.”
That was also confirmed this week by TV Watercooler’s Jeevan Brar who took to X and expressed, “The All My Children channel begins streaming this Friday, May 1 on Pluto TV Canada.
So, Canadian viewers, excited about Pluto TV’s All My Children channel? United States fans, hopeful from Sarah’s message that perhaps soon, we can see the beloved soap once again as well? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Well anything has to be better than last year’s poorly produced show— my hope is they will make the ceremony dignified and respectful — let it truly be an evening for honoring outstanding work whether on soaps, talk, games shows and children’s programming — leave the amateur variety acts and lame comedy writing at the door, and just show clips and announced who the Emmy goes to— simple and to the point.
Amen! I also hope they leave all the production numbers back at HSN and stick to the important stuff…like the awards!
I don’t quite get the “fans from around the world can converge and watch the ceremonies live for the first time everywhere” comment. I honestly don’t believe there are millions (much less thousands) of fans “around the world” who give a rat’s ass about our awards shows, so that whole thing is crap.
And what about the devoted senior citizen fans who probably don’t have a computer and, more to the point, wouldn’t know how to access the show online? Streaming the show isn’t going to be any use to them! (I’m speaking for my mother here!)
I think it’s disgusting that none of the networks or major cable channels would bother to televise this show. And it’s not just about the soaps…it’s also for talk shows, cooking shows, children’s shows, daytime news shows…the fuckin’ networks are snubbing them all!
I agree! I am a longgggg time OLTL fan and I don’t give a rat’s ass or any other rat parts about the emmys. They are a huge joke, a sham, farce. Only 4 soaps? Who’s nominated, everyone. It mattered when there were 12, but now there’s only 4 awful ones, so what is there to “win”. And talk shows. These hosts aren’t qualified to be on a show, let along host one. Let’s see, married to the boss, took all her clothes off, washed up comic, just to start. Then there are the same 3 game shows there have been for 100 years. So what’s to watch?
Sharon Case looks dynamite in everything
When will the Daytime Emmys start streaming on the east coast, Michael?
I’m not Michael, but I do know it starts at 8:00 pm on the east coast. The article says so.
@Chris at 8 pm East Coast time which will be 5 pm Pacific Coast time.
Regardless who watches or not im grateful there is a home for the emmys…our soaps need the publicity no matter where it comes from!
The Daytime Emmy streamed live online from the Beverly Hilton Hotel to ‘global’ audience ..
I’m sure that people around the world would want to watch the American Price is Right, the Chew, 4 soaps etc etc get awards LOL ..
I doubt those shows are even shown around the world and if they were that someone in Geremy watches them or even would have an interest in the American Daytime Emmy stream..
The Y&R and B&B most likely are the only ones shown internationally..
Many here in USA are not going to watch so hopefully the people in India will LOL ..
I wish this years Emmies well and hope all have fun !!
@su0000 LMAO since GEREMY isn’t a country located on any world map…maybe they will be watching. You jump to the fore of the onslaught so quickly you need to enable SPELLCHECK!!! IJS.
davlestev1,
LOL you got me!!! 🙂
Maybe this way we won’t have any suits interfering and sticking their two cents worth in. We could actually watch an entertaining show Lets have it be daytime emmys daytime actors .They can walk and talk at the same time. No more nighttime actors hosting. I don’t watch the primetime Emmys or Oscars. The Toni’s put on a great show.
The very foundation of daytime TV is the soaps! The Emmys need to lather up nicely!! More soaps, less Sesame Street!!! More soaps, less games!!!! More Soaps, less “The Talk”!!!!! More soaps, less food!!!!!!! All the other stuff can be thrown into Oscar’s trash can!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@4everDAYS…4SHAME..4SHAME…How dare you impugn SESAME STREET!!! OH THE INHUMANITY….Game shows, talk shows and the like…I agree…LOL…Oscar’s trash can…you should be so ashamed sir/ma’am
Today’s lesson is brought to you by the letter s, as in…Sesame Street…serial/soap opera and finally…sir. I was never Knighted, though. lol
It sucks its not on TV but that is just the way its going to be now..At the same time is great they are getting publicity and that is a positive.
5:00 pm pacific
6:00 pm mountain
7:00 pm central (that’s me!)
8:00 pm eastern
Going from a traditional broadcast network to a cable channel to, now none of them wanting to show the Daytime Emmys, streaming on the internet. This definitely is downward trend for this show, a clear reminder of the decline of the daytime serial.
This year, the show is at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. With the present trend for this show, next year, maybe they’ll hold the event behind a trash dumpster at the Red Roof Inn in Compton!! No need to worry about broadcasting it on a network or streaming on the internet. They can just get Kim Zimmer and Colleen Zenk to handout flyers at intersections to invite everyone to the grand event! This would save them the hassle of putting out “thrilling” press releases like this one and would give the unemployed (but talented) Zimmer and Zenk a few dollars that they may likely need!!
Honestly, doesn’t this organization have any dignity? They need to ditch trying to have a grand affair at night for this event. They’re trying to keep it on par with the Emmys and the Oscars and, with each further decline, it is more and more apparent that it isn’t. They should scale this down drastically and make it a classy but somewhat simple lunch event — no red carpet, no overblown song and dance numbers. Just a simple awards show. With all of the broadcast channels available to broadcast this event, it is embarassing that NONE of them are televising it. It is a clear statement about the current state of serials.
It is very sad.
LOL! The first two paragraphs had me laughing so hard that I had to reread them a few times! Thank you for the laughs!!!
And the following year, they can use carrier/homing pigeons! I’m still laughing!!!
I really hope that viewership is high and that the international community support the Daytime Emmy’s. But this has been a long time coming, just look at the Daytime Emmy’s from the last 5 years. They are a total flop, and those were on TV. I am hoping Live Streaming on the internet will do the Daytime Emmy’s justice this year.
Michael Fairman: Do you know if the show will be geo-coded for the US only. Quite a few of the online shows are not available in Canada. If you know the answer, I’d really appreciate a reply. Thanks !
You can watch;

That’s only Hulu as far as I know. I am in Canada and the only things I can’t view are on Hulu.
No, it is a live stream.. nothing to with HuuLu..
A live stream is live and coming to you through the internet in real time ..:)
It also says ”global” that means all will be able to view world wide..
Go to; live-stream by going to http://www.daytimeemmys.net
You can watch the emmies live via your Smart TV, PC or device..
This article/announcement is NOT that confusing. 5pm eastern/ 8pm pacific. It’s a live stream for anyone anywhere so they’ll make sure everyone who wants to see it can no matter what part of the world they’re in.
The only confusing side to this whole thing is why they decided to stream the Daytime Emmy Awards from the lobby of the Beverly Hilton Hotel while people are checking in…oh wait…are you sure??? …My sources tell me they HAVE secured a room of sort…THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT!!
So will it be available to view at a later time on the interne? As I won’t be home since I can’t TiVo it will I be able to watch it later (if I decide too) not sure I care to watch it now but in case I do was just wondering?
Do you possibly know?
I wasn’t gonna watch anyway after the way they snubbed GH, now I have even more reason not to watch. I’ve had a bad experience on the few occasions when I’ve tried to watch something streaming live on the net.
It’s a shame to see how far the Emmys have fallen. I used to love watching them back in the day when they were huge must see events, like when Susan Lucci won her first Emmy, or the way the crowd used to roar every time GH would win for best show. This feels like something slapped together at the last minute.
I wish the actors from GH well, but I won’t be watching.
Wow, yet another nail in the coffin for daytime soaps.
We now have all three networks that do not think that the Daytime Emmmy’s are worthy of a television broadcast.
Very sad indeed.
Live stream is great for the young people who will want to watch it…but how about for senior citizens who have watched soaps since they first started and DO NOT own a computer to watch it live stream?
It is quite sad that that the older generation look forward to there daily soap fix everyday and more so to the one year they can watch the soap Emmy…Guess some people must lose out and sadly its the soaps biggest fans.
Can someone answer Tom please??? Will ee see the show in Canada??
Ghlover-
Yes..
It will be a live stream and coming to you through the internet in real time ..:)
It also says ”global” that means all will be able to view world wide..
Go to; live-stream by going to http://www.daytimeemmys.net
You can watch the emmies live via your Smart TV, PC or device..
How can we stream to a SmartTV?
How do we get access to the daytimeemmys.net website? When I put it up, I am given the message no access. Or put in a name and password.
The whole streaming thing didn’t work out so well for AMC and OLTL – this is a REALLY bad idea. No one will watch.
does it mean you can watch it later? like other shows online? “live” doesn’t thrill me, but watch it whenever you want does.
